We are well aware that a strong prc- judice exists against what. is called “ book farming " amengst old style til~ lers of the soil ; but the prejudice is dy- ing out with the class who cherished it; and now every agriculturist who is not. immersed in the depths of poverty or the depths of stupidity subscribes for at least one good publication devoted ex- pressly to the pursuits by which he lives; and the attentive perusal of such publi- cationsâ€"if followed by strict obedience to their teachingsâ€"is one of the best cures we know of for either poverty or stupidity, and the likeliest means of dispelling the delusion that; “ farming doesn't pay." Farming does pay ;â€"it will stand more batching without: ruin- ing the hotelier than any other occupa- tion on the face of the earth ;â€"-but it pays those the best. who read and think the most, and not those who perform the greatest amount of exhausting labor. We knowâ€"by hearsay and by reading -â€"all about the difficulties and priva- tions of the man who goes upon new land to make himself a home; and the necessity he is under of toiling with all his might and main; but. even lieâ€"un- less all in his house are totally unable to read â€"should take one of the many excellent agricultural papers there are to choose from, for they contain the garnered wisdom and experience of thousands of successful farmers, and he who peruses one for the first time will be astonished at and delighted with the amount of useful information they con- tain. Happy is he who is capable of acquiring knowledge by observation and thinking, which was the only way farm- ers of other days could obtain it; but happier he who, in this era of free schools and cheap printing, can for a sjfinglc dollar purchase more knowledge two he could gather for himselfin a lifetime, and in a receptacle that beats the most accurate memory all to nothing. We haven‘t the least idea how many agricultural papers are taken by the readers of the Gazette, but we are quite certain that there are not near as many as there ought. to be, and it is with the view of increasing the number that we have procured, and now call attention to, the advertisement of the Canadian Farmer, a copy of which we first saw in the hands of the secretary of the Fene. lon Agricultural Society. The Cancun. (m Farmer is the only weekly anricultu. rnl paper printed and Publishedoin Can- ads, which fact along gives it, a claim pron the “"1302: of the Dominion, and its many m‘L‘I-Its are so obvious to all Wlfo‘scq it. that, althowh only in its “Hid year, it has not far short of 10,» 000 subscribers, and new names from all quarters are constantly being added to the list. The price, 81 per anuum, is astonishingly low, and it would be quite impossible to give so much for so little without a very large circulation, prompt payments, and the revenue de- rived from the limited space devoted to advertisements, which is always kept filled notwithstanding the high rates charged, which, however, the advertis- ers do not consider dear when the wide publicity given to their announcements is taken into consideration. As the subscription list has increased the Fur- user has been improved, and now it contains a quantity, quality and variety of reading matter which place it in the front rank of agricultural papers. A sample copy can be obtained free of charge by any person writing for it to the publisher, or a few copies can be seen at the ofice of the Cage": by those who wisely wish to know what the 0mm- :Iimi Farmer is like before subscribing for it. tMr. Boyd's Stock Farm. In the Goalie of the 12th inst. we noticed the arrival in this villafl. on their way to Bobcaygeon, ofa herd of eleven thoroughbred cattle purchssed 30 day, 8 day and 30 hour, Alarm strike,&c- IN SILVER AND GOLD CASES similar to those above noticed, and also some thoroughbred sheep. They will be kept on “ Big Island, " which is a farm of about 1,200 acres, in every way admirably suited for the stock raising and feeding purposes to which it. will be devoted in the future. The Indepatdsnt adds: “ ' 'hus, then. the nucleus is formed for a stock farm which in a few years will entirely revolu- tionize the whole of the cattle in the great district to the north of this place, a district which possesses singular ad- vantages both in water and pasturage for raising cattie. That this undertak» ing will be watched with greatiuterest is saying but little, for it will certainly haveran important influence on the prosperity of the whole of this portion of Central Canada. " M. I. Entertainment. The entertainment given in Ingram's hall on the evening of the 16th‘inst., in aid of the Fenelon Falls Mechanics’ institute, was one of the most success- ful of the season, and the Lindsay ama- teurs who kindly lent their valuable as- sistance deserved, and we are glad to learn have received, a. vote of“ thanks from the Directors of the Institute at their recent meeting. Our local talent, through of no mean order, is not. very extensive, and it was therefore a good idea to get. up aprogramme upon which all the names, with a single exception, were those of residents of Lindsay; and the audience, respectable as it man certainly would have been, was consid- erably swelled (no joke intended) by the carload of ladies and gentlemen thus induced to come from town. The entertainment was an excellent one,â€" thc best, we think, ever given in this village; and that the audience as a whole was of the same opinion is to be inferred from the loud applause and the frequent encores. There were instru- mental ducts by the Misses Smith, Leary, Gallon and Macaulay, singing by the Misses Smith and Leary and Messrs. Hudspetlt, McGachcn, J. Bruce Smith and John D. Smith, and readings by Mr. Hudspcth and Mr. J. B. Knowlson; and we can honestly sayâ€"although there were, of course, different degrees of meritâ€"that. not; one of them nccd feel at all diflident about appearing before a much more critical audience than they are likely ever to meet with in Fenelon Falls or in Lindsay either. Mrs. John D. Smith was down for a reading, and her non-appearance caused. great: disappointment; but. she was kept at home by a severe cold, and Mr. Smith took her place and sang a couple of songsin his usual happy style, After the entertainment there was a “ hop, ” in which a great many of the younger members took part, and no doubt thoroughly enjoyed themselves, espec- ially as a capital supper was rovidcd by the ladies of the village. p & Burnt River. (From our Correslmmfent.) REVIVALâ€"Rev: John K; Moran, of thts place, has been engaged holding a revival service at the village of Norlnnd. We wish him every success. Buersss.â€"Mr. A.

Well, I'll tell you. One of our leading merchants here (we have two stores now) thought. he might. sell something that did not belong to a store stock. And at any rate he must. have a. “ ticket ” to allow him to sell this something, which “ tick- et." he had not. He sold and he was finedâ€"serves him right.

Campbell was at Mr. Northoott’s, practising singing, some ras- Cul let his horse, which was attached to a very nice cutter, loose from under the shed, and it ran home a distance of about a mile and a half, but luckily did not injure the rig. SOCIALâ€"Tho: soolal held hero on Thursday last by the 0. Y. B.‘s, in be- half of the Rev. Mr. Leech, turned out to be a success. The ‘wcather being fine, a goodly number were present, and the chair was occupied during the even- ing by Mr. M. .‘Iaybee. The reverend gentleman delivered a lecture, which was highly interesting to the audience, and the choir gave excellent music, which made everything go off very pleas- antly. A very line cako was then put up for election, the candidates being Miss Brown and Miss McDonald, and it was won by the former. The pro- ceeds of the evening amounted to 818.

Tun WEATnnn.â€"Candlcmas Day (February 2nd) was “ bright and clear," and, according to the old I Siying, when t that; is the case “ there will be two-win- ters in one year.” We hope not be the case this season, though it looks like it, for winter is holding out with desperate tenacity. Nevertheless, we anticipate an early syn-in}: ; and as a debating,r society long- ago decided! that “ anticipation isbetter than realisation ” we shall have the best of it no matter what the weather may be. Boncatronox 'UONcm't‘.-~Tlteyr had a. concert in Bobcaygeoa last Monday evening, and one of the number who went from this village to attend: is says that it. was far better than any concert ever given in Fcuelon Falls. But in Boboaygeon they not only had! local talent. and Lindsay talent, but Peter borough talent also; and! everybody knows that Miss Martin and Mr. Ben- thorn, of the last named place, are equal to mapy professional vocalists and de- light cvery audience before whom they appear. Mncttaxtos’ Tammaâ€"Wc are re- quested to announce that, at a meeting of the Directors of the Fenelon Falls Mcchnnios' Institute held on Wednes- day evening last, it was decided that a sale of newspapers and periodicals ‘0 members of the Institute should lflke place on Tuesday evening next at 8 o'clock. A hearty vote of thanks was passed by the Board to the friends from Lindsay who gave their valuable ser- vices at the entertainment. on the 16th inst., and also to the ladies of the vil- lage who generously provided the sup- per on that occasion. FENELON FALLS RACES.â€"The fifth annual meeting of the Fenelon Falls Trotting Association will be held next Wednesday and Thursday, March 2nd and 3rd, and as the ice is in splendid condition. we expect fast. time will be made. The amount. raised for prizes is 8205, somewhat less than last: year, but there will be only four races instead of five, and the highest prize will» be $50. For full particulars soc bills.

A HORSE I4A.\IEI).â€"L€tst Tuesday morning as Mr, \th. Graham, of Som- crville, was driving over the railway crossing at Hell's on his way to the Falls for a load ol‘lutnbcr, one of his horses got its left fore foot caught. between a rail and the plank of the crossing and was thrown down. Thinking that the lameness caused by the accident would soon pass away, Mr. Graham came on to this village; but the animal got worse instead of hotter, and we saw it at noon standing under Ingram's shcd, groaning with pain and scarcely able to put the injured foot to the ground. As it was quite impossible to take the intended load, Mr. Graham returned home with an empty sleigh, the lame horse hob- bling along in a pltiable manner. If the accident was the result of any de- fect in the crossing, it ought to be re- paired as soon as possible. m Famine in Russia. I’Attts, Feb. illâ€"Mr. IIartmnun sends to the Intrmm'gwnt a deplorable account of the famine in Russia. In the village, as he relates, people die of hunger every day, and.. men rob and pillage for the sole object. of being im- mured in prison, where at least they are fed at the expense of the State. In the extreme East a band of Kirghs and Kalmucka attack towns and villages with impunity, and masmore the in- habitants in order to obtain their pro~ visions. The Bashkirs sell their chil- dren for small quantities of flour, and the Kslmucks dig up the bones of horses that died last year of plagtin and grind them into cakes. The villages are entirely deserted, and the man and women have fled to the cities or to Siberia, abandoning to their frightful fate the old men and the aurslinga.

Afat white doe, given to Lord Alington some years ago by the Queen, strides about in the well-littered stall, and just by the hatches in which the longfurrcd white rabbits frisk and play about like Cowper's tame hares, is a model house containing white rats and mice, a present from the Prince of Wales.
