PRINCE AGRICULTURE. 11 there be one interest more than another 2 in the upward and onward progress of our country that merits our special attention and yeguard it 1s thé Agricultural--that interest, wirich is the only sure bases on which to build a Country's material wealth and inde- pendence. It may be urged by some that Britain, the most wealthy nation in the world--has made herself neh by manufac- toring--bul the question may well be asked + would she have been rich, had she neglected Wer Agricultural interests? There is no cbuntry in the world where the capabilities of the soil are better developed than in Bntain. And even of this country it may truthfully ©8 said that Agriculture is the foundation and ehief source of her wealth, But if this way be smd of Britain with how much more forte will. it apply to this country, where agriculture is our chief our almost only source of wealth. In a country where the facilities for manufacturing are not over numerous, while the resources for Agricul tbral pursuits are inexhaustible. Where 8 dhe inhabitants are essentially an Agri- «ultoral people. Manufactures being wwely limited and likely to be so for some time to come. Where agriculture in its various branches is just begining to be theronghly Laderstood and developed, and where it is fast becoming a science. The Agricultacist] will {soon claim that promi- nent position in society to which he is so justly intitled. It "is pleasing to sep so ¥ maany of the farming eommunity~and why = not all--taking a lively interest in Agricul- tural Societies, establishing and encourag- ing them in almost every locskiy in he land, Bat, much as bas been done in that Way, these Societies,ure jet far from occu- pying that position in the estimation of the ming community which they ought to bold. No better means could possibly be adopted for the purpose of raising the status of the Agnicultarist, and of encouraging the development of the noble science of Agri- culture in all its branches. THE OOMMON SCHOOLS OF THE TOWNSHIP OF BCUGOG, Four weeks ago we referred 10 the com- ei man: Sc {- Reagh. now take n: wp WP x Be Snr eshs, x Ae A > fleot that there is not a Township, not a village, scarcely a hamlet in the country without its Common School, where the youths and children receive the rudiments 'of that education necessary to prepare them for the active duties of after life--receiving 'ia fact all the School education that most of them will ever receive, and this considera Aion alone should be a sufficient argument 'mn' favor of having all onr schools properly 'taught--in fact if not properly taught they 'are only a burlesque not to be tolerated for a single day. The children of every loeality 'have an unalienable right to a good thorough 'Common School education ; and it is at the peril of parents, Trustees, or Teacher to de- prive them of it. There is no money more un- «profitably spent than that which is expended on an inefficient School; as. not only the /moeney is thrown away, but that which is of infinitely mere valua--the childrens prec- vious time, is being allowed to pass unim- Zproved ; and they are robbed of the only opportunity that ever they shall have of -eblaining a good education." If deprived of this they must inevitably suffer and that ; through life, "and consequently for a crime which is not theirs they must be long snd severely punished ; by being sent out to the _nuprepared for the proper discharge of their doties; | - There are three Schools in the Township of Scugoy Nos.) one and : 'by females and No. three we cannot refrain fiom agnn te- 10 the unfortunate circumstance thet tes of as good land as Cannda con- across the centre of that of good to any tts wn Indian brethren of their land without full compensation.

FIRE AT DARLINGTON, A most destructive fire ocgured on the farm of Mr. George Leask, on Lot No. 31, 6th Concession of Darlington, on Thursday, Th inst., between the hours of three and four p. m., by which two large barns-- feeding house-- sheds--root house ; 32 valu- able sheep § 2 calves; about 200%, coe wheat ; between {hree and four hundred bus.

Four thousand dollars would not replace the property. The origin of the fire is not known.

MAGISTRATES' COURT. A somewhat singular trial took place at the Public Hall, Prince Albert, on Saturday, Oth net. At the instance of Noble Wilson, Scugog. Five youths from that township were brought up before a bench of Magistrates, charged with having persistently disturbed a protracted meeting, which has been held by the Episcopal Methodists in the School House of School Section No. 3 Scugog for a couple of months past. Geo. Currie Esq., presiding, Joseph Reader, and W. S. Sexton, Esquires as- sociates. Peter Harmon was fir-t srraigned-- charged with disturbing sail meetings by whispering, laughing, chewing and spitting tobacco and slamming the door. © Noble Wilson being sworn testified to that effect. Mr. Falick, being sworn, said that he was not aware of any particular disturbance at the meetings for some time past. Heard the door slam, but don't know who did it. Did not hear any talking--heard a faint noise outside the house. Was some an- noyed by the sound of spitting and also by the tobacco spits. Was at the' meéting 'on 'l'vesday evening, saw Harmon. knocked down by some one, did not know why. The meetings were rather noisy. Mr. G. Pickle, sworn, said he had been at tho meeting on Tuesday evening. Saw Harmon pass tobacco from one to another. Did not hear him talk. The whispering was not such as disturb the worship. The chewing and spitting tobacco were rather annoying. Did not pay any altention to these things. Tried to keep his mind on the object of the meeting. Heard the door slam can't say who did it. Mr. John Wallace, sworn, said he knew Harmon. Knows of no instance during the past month when Harmon disturbed any meeting. Isaac Hadley was next arraigned on a similar charge. Defendant asked to have his trial postponed for one week. The re- quest was refused. $n : Mr. Wilson complainant knows that defendant attended the meetings. It was difficujt to single gut an individual oo point out a particular occasion, huthe knew that 15 was one of the parly that regularly disturbed the meetings. That defendant had on his head at meeting a lady's old hood or sun-bonnet. Can't say on what parti- cular evening defendant disturbed the meet- tings. Knows that he did so within three months from now. Heard defendant use improper language on going home from meeting one night, Mr. G. Pickell, being called, said he heard some noise but can't say who made it. Has not within three months heard any one at said meetings make sufficient noise to disturb a meeting. His mind is otherwise employed at such meetings. Wm, Hope was next arraigned on a simi- lar charge. Mr. Wilson stated that defendant had behaved badly during worship on several oocasionstdufi ng these, proyracted: meetings by laughing, whispering, chewing tobacco and spitting, Defendant and others gen- erally collect in a group and disturb the meetings. They have been repruved-- never individudlly--never acquainted any of their parents of their misconduct. Rev. Mr. Brown sworn. Knows defend- ant. Don't know anything of what took place on Tuesday night, not being at meet ing--but knows that defendant has behaved badly at other meetings by laughing and whispering and otherwise distutbing the congregation. Defendant would sit near the stove and spit tobacco upon it, thus an- noying the meeting, both by the disagree- able smell and the hissing sound. The parties bave been often reproved--not per- sonally. Don't know that any one ever complained to their parents. Mr. 8. Orser, Class Leader, sworn. meetings. Don't know that he did any- | thing wrong on Sunday night. Has seen him at other times during meesing make faces and otherwise cause his assosiates to laugh. Defendant and the party with whom he associated, frequenly disturbed him(Orser) during meeting, but can't name any partic- ticular time. Knows that he, defendant, and others have been in the habit of disturbing these meetings. And with regard to Hadley he (Orser) had spoken to him repeatedly ; but instead of receiving it kindly he (Hadley) got displeased and spoke defiant- i y. Here Mr. Hope asked witness (Orser) if he was not Class Leader at these meetings and why it was that he never complained to the parents of those boys who disturbed the meetings. That he (Hope). bad been frequently at these meetings and never had seen his son misbehave--and he would further ask witness (Orser) if he @omplain- ed of his boy Wm. Hope chewing and spit- ting tobacco at meeting? Mr. Orser said he did complain of his doing #0 Mr. Hope sepliad, apd who sets him the example ? Don't you Mr. ©rcer both chew and spit tobacco at those meetings, and if the Class Leader does so what can yon expect to do. Mr. Orser replied that he did chew and spit during meeting but he did pot disturb anybody. 5 Knows defendent sees him at most of the | 5. Shell was next arraigned for a similar offence. Mr. Wilson said, that on Tuesday night last, after meeting was dismissed, defend- ant driven at a furious rate, and came neatly running over his Wilson's wie, Has seen defendant often distarb the meeting but can't specify any particular time. Koows that defendant is ope of the party whose laughing and whispering dis- tarb the meetings. Mr. G. Pickel called. against the young man. Mr. Orser called. Has seen defendant laughing @nd whispering at meeting.-- Knows that within two months defendant by laughing and whispering at meeting has disturbed him (Orser.) Here one of the magistrates-- Mr. Sexton ---suggested that as in almost all similar parties there are one or more leaders it might be so in the present case--he would like to know from Mr. Oreer or Wilson if there was no leader in the party who there- fore would be worse than the others. Neither Mr. Orser nor Wilson knew of any leader, G. Neisbet being called. Mr. Neisbet said that hisjboy wes not present but he ap- peared in his behalf--and before saying anything further he would like to know what charge they had to bring against his boy. Mr. Wilson said that he knew George Neisbety saw him often at these meetings, knows that he frequently disturbed those meetings by laughing, whispering and spitting. Can't say when in particular he did it, nor can't name the nights. Here Mr. Neisbet suggested that it might be possible thut Mr. Wilson was disturbed while the rest of the meeting were not, and he would like to hear the evidence of some one else. He would like to have Mr. Fralick's evidence. Mr. Fralick, ealled, said that he knew George Neisbet hind been frequently at those meetings. Can't say that the boy ever dis- turbed any meeting. He (Fralick) sitting on the front seat, the boy's were always behind and consequently he could not see anything they did. Kuows that a party of boys or young men have been in the habit of disturbing these meetings by laughing, whispering and 'spitting. Can' say that George Neisbet ever did it but knows that he way '@mong the party who did. He believed that no one had ever spoken to the parents of the boys. Mr. Neisbet censured them for not letting the parents know. Mr. Wakeford, sworn. Knows nothing of the conduct at the meetings. Was al three of these meetings and was not dis- turbed in any Way. Did not obeerve George Neisbet there, Mr. Wakeford, Mr. Shell, and Mr. Kris- ten under oath declared that they would nor believe Noble Wilson on his oath. After a few remarks from Mr. Brown the tials closed, The following verdiots were given : Peter Harmon to pay forthwith $5 fine, and $6.20 coste, or go 20 days to jail. Hadley to pay forthwith $2 fine, $5.70 costs, or go 10 days to jail. Shell to pay forthwith $5.85 costs. Hope " ¢ $5.85 costs. _ G. Neibet " $5.85 costs. While we would be the very last to at- tempt for one moment to palliate, in the slightest degree, the crime of disturbing public meetings espec:ally religions meet ings ; we aver, al the same time, that, par- ties who get up these meelings are morally bound to see that they are properly con- ducted, as well for the benefit for those who dttend, as for the cause which such meet- ings are intended to propogate. It is de- cidedly wrong to allow boys or men either to Ajtend such meetings night after night from" no other motive than that of disturbing ibe worshippers ind: mockihgihe servic. Such meetings so far from proving "a benefit to the disturbers prove a positive injury.-- White those whe dttend from proper mo- tives are, from the confusion and discrder, deprived of a large portion of the benefit whizh they would otherwise receive. It is certainly a great mistake to allow meetings to go on night after night, week after week in confusion and disorder without at least putting forth every effort to put a stop to the evil. In the ings above referred to the evil had been going on for eight weeks without a proper éflort being put forth to cut jt ehort," At'the trial it was never attempted to' be shown that the guilty parties had been admonished indi- vidually, in fact it was admitted that they had not been spoken to individually. They had been reprimanded collectively ; and every one krows what length such a (reprimand will go with euch a group of boys. It was alsoadmitted in the evidence that not 1n a single instance had any of the parents been made aware that their boys were disturbing theee meetings. This we believe both unkind and unjust. Unkind to the youths and unjust to their parents. Parents with Tull confidence allow their boys to attend such meetings, many ot them doubtless urged them to go, expecting that they would receive good-- bot mark the result! picture to yourself the surprise, disappointment and shame of these parents, when they Jearn that instead of thejr boys getting good, as might be naturally expec- ted, they have been getting evil. They have been allowed to meet night after night at these meetings with bad company who skoff and ridicule the praceedings, n- ereamng in folly instead of wisdom, while the parents know nothing of it, and no one informs them till {he constable 1s seen Fap- proaching the dwelling wish & snuamons for the boy 10 appear ai eourt-- for what! for hab- He he had learned and practiced at thse meetings. No one had ever wiispered te the father of the permicions example that his. boy was receiving night after night. Now, however, the father must be made aware of the consaquences. When no one else would let him know ; now, when it is too late, the constable will let him know what his boy has been doing, Now in fact Knows nothing it can be concealed from the father no longer. Money has got to be paid (and the boy has none.) The father though entirely innocent must suffer not only the grief and shame but he must sustain a pecuniary loss. He must pay the fine though his family should lack bread, or let his boy go off to prison like a felon there to mix with thieves and pick pockets. tl re INTERESTING MEETING IN GREEN. A BANK. The members of the English Church in Greenbank held a meeting upon the 5th inst., in the Temperance Hall, for the pur- pose of taking immediate steps for building aplace of worship. Between twenty and thirty p were p who | with much pleasure and interest' the de- signs which had been previously got up with the greatest care and pains, and en- closed in guilt frames in anticipation of this occasion. The proposed ¢ Cuurch or St. AcNes" --80 it was named npon the plans--will be of frame, boarded up and down and balten- ed upon the joints. The entrance porch will be upon the south side. The windows, roof and bell-tower are in' strict keeping with the pointed style of architecture. The dimensions of the building as indicated by the plans were as follows--40 feet by 28 feet; Chancel 14 x 14 feet; Porch 7 feet 6 inches by 9 feet. : The Rev. Mr. Fornerr first addressed the meeting. In the course of his remarks, he said they had met together in order to begin a work, which, if undertaken in a proper spirit, was one of the most pious, which could engage the minds, the means and the efforts of christians. For that in building a church they not only raise "a heap of stones"--a dumb monument to the God whom they adore, but that they make a habitation which shonid henceforth be a house of prayer, a house of praise, a house of Godly meditation, a house of christian fellowship. They provide a Hospital for the ein sick souls of men, where the deaf in spirit might hear, the blind might see, and the dead be raised to thejnew and hea- venly life. The rev. gentleman observed that they who would erect a church are charit- able not only to themselves, to their ghild- ren and to their neighbors, but to those also | " who are afar off"'--1o the thousands who should sit in their seats, ¢ when the places which know us now shall know us no more for ever." After supplicating the divine blessing upon the pious work which they were about to begin, and singing an appropriate hymn Mr. Brown of Uxbridge, rose and moved the following resolution--¢ That it is the duty of the churchmen to do all in their power towards erecting and completing in a suitable manner places of public worship." The gentleman then proceeded to gddress the meeting in a forcible speech of consid- erable lengih, dwelling upon the claims which the Church of England had upon her children--tracing up her existence beyond the period of the Reformation, beyond the days of Aogustine tothe earliest periods of Church history. He said that true parriot- ism towards jour native land and love for the church of our fathers were inseparably connected. He referred; to the unspeak- able importance of public worship, and assigned as the true cause of the moral- ity of the people of England and indeed of England's greatness, the fact that spread all over her soil, upon every hill and by every stream were churches for christian worship, and pastors for christian worshipers. ¢ The, speaker remarked what a solemnizing effect a properly built and appointed church had upon the feelings of the people, and concluded by a stirring appeal to the christian: picty and liberality of the chu ch- men of Greenbank, assuring them that they would not be left without a helping hand from other quarters. * $Mg, Browd's resolutipn way secomled by Mr. Gauton and carned, nem con. Mr Ganton then begged leave to move one upon his own. account viz: * that a building committee be appointed, whose duties should be to solicit subscriptions and take supervision of all the amounts and works connected with the proposed church." Mr. Ganton remarked in offering the resolu- tion that although it was not just the most convenient time for him to contribute to- wards the p d ion,yet they would not find him backward in doing his part. He loved the church as the church of his father and valued all her prdingnces. He had a large family to support, it was true, but he did not make that an excuse for not giving. He hadjhelped io build many a church in his day, and had not found him- selt poorer now for what he had con- tributed nor had he got on any worse than his neighbors, who had pleaded the wants of their families as an fipology for with- holding their charities. = He insisted that what we had was not our own absolutely, but God's, and that we are his stewards. He hoped that each one would contribute ungrudgingly whatever s able to give. This resvlution wae nded by Mr. Warren, and carried ; and Dr. Knowlys, Messrs Ianson, Baiog and Tait, were ap- pointed to act as building committee. Dr. KnowLys then moved ¢ thal a sub- soription list be opened at once." The Doctor made a very animated speech. He tegreited that the sequestration of the "Clergy reserves") had rendered such meetings as the present one necessary. He did not care to congeal Irom any one that he was one the old few out- and-ant Tories that yet survived, He thought that the government of Canada had committed an outrage upon fhe memory of good old King (George ths third, in taking away those browd dands whish bjs pious foresight had provided for the religions wants of the chrirch 1n Canada. He wished to know who 'had been henefited by the transaction, He looked upon the church and state in the same light as the Bishop of Exeter received it, when he said in the House of Lords. « Why do we Bishops sit in this foost--perhaps the most unjast assembly in the world # Is it to muke the State Religious." Deprived of state aid the Doctor regarded churchmen in the light of Volupteers, and he felt assured that as such they would fight as vallianily against the 'Enemies of the soul--against the floods of infidelity which he saw the false liberalism of the day was bringing in--as Volunteers had ever fought against the enemies of the body. Mg. Ganon, ina few well chosen words, seconded Dr. Knowly's resolution, which was unanimously carried, Mr. [ansoN--to whom indeed is chiefly due the credit of having taken the initia- tive in the matter--~thereupon rose and said that he would have much pleasure in giv- ng a ble plot of ground for the site of the proposed church. He had reserved one for the purpcse which was well calculated from its central and elevated position for the object to which he trusted it would be applied. The value of the lot was over 100 dollars. * Mr. Ianson then stepped up to the table and wrote down opposite his name the very handsome sum "of $200, as his sfibscription towards the building fund of the church. Messrs. Ganton, Tait, and Dr. Kunowlys followed each subscribing $50. Mr. Gaston promising also to give all the" lime required for the building. Others contributed less sums, as they were able. Thetotal amount was nearly $400, exclusive of the lime and the ground! The hymn of dismissal being sung and the benediction being pronounced, the meeting dismissed--every one highly satis- fied with the very successful result of the proceedings. SPRING SHOW, The Whitty, and East Whitby Union Agricultural Society, held their Spring Show at Brooklin, on Thureday, 7th inst. The weather was very favorable and a large number of larmers and others taking ad- vantage of the good sleighing, furnished by the snow which fell during the night, came in considerabe numbers to the fair. There were not many caltle shown-- but those that were thown were first class. The show of Implements was rather slim. There was a capital show of Grain and Seeds--and of first rate quality.

No! but to make the |r above Society to have every thing go oft | band vantages to all concerned will far more than compensate for ie in n- convenience it may "Add forther at that hour re Beaver the Officers, Direc- tors, and members may all sit down together and have a regular Agricultural Dinner--a thing which cannot be had by eur present system. Inthe above instance it i a little tedious to wait (xl three o'clock for dinner, it sharpened our apetites all the more and enabled us to do ample justice to one of those excellent dinners which " Mine Host" of the Globe Hotel know how to get up. Let us give the plan a trial at our next fair. | TO THE FRONT. It is begining to be whispered, rather audibly, that at least'2,000 Volunteers will be called out ere long for sctive service cn the frontier. The Gazelle, referring: ro the rumour of calling out the Volunteers in Upper Canala trusts that the authorities will not again commit the stu; us blun« der of sending artillery corps into the feld with their present old smoth-bore guns, es- pecially as the Fenians are known to have acquired a number of rifled field piecer, and if they should move as now appears fo be anticipated by some, the consequenses would be serious. ® <r rt --r ee THE YOUNGEST OF THE SCIENCES. Geology is not only the youngest of the sciences but tbe least understood and most abused. It is certainly bringing its votries into difficulties by it seeming eccen- tricities--but they are only seeming. The fault is in the student and mot m the science, Geologists incautiously asserted that gold could mot be found in certain specified situations, and in some of those very situations go'd has been found at Madoc and that ipAafge quantities. The Evening " Telegraph" rays: A "New discoveries are reported every day. We have certainly not only & wile immense wealth. What is required infos - the Government to take possession of alh- the lands where gold is discovered, reim- burse the proprietors, as is done in Nora Scotia and other countries, and throw them open to miners paying a small license. If it allows the Madoc gold district to be engrossed by the class of speculating scoundrels that got possession of the Ceaudiere, in return for their votes in Parliament, enterprise will be strangled, and discovery will be fruitless."
