Of the three French members of the cabinet who were said to have re- signed last week, two are still in the fold Mr. Oaimet and Uaron while Mr. Angets is gone for good. Mr. Anger's resignation will necessitate a rrconstrnctioa of the cabinet, and we hope the. government will find the time opportune to grant- the petition of Dr. Bpronle's constituents and gracefully do the correct thing by giving him the portfolio of Minister of Agricnltore, for which he is so admir- ably, fitted. iugs." There have been a couple of instances ibis summer one in the London conference and one in the Toronto which appear to indicate a desire to set this matter right before it goes any farther. A London charch raised a groat hubbub because the man whom they wanted was not sent there, and now the Davenport Metho- dists, near Toronto, utterly refuse to accept the pastor assigned to them. The Davenport Methodists ought to go without a pastor for the present year, and it will be very nnwige to submit to thoir demands. Dut then, as we Lave before pointed out, this is tin- only outcome that could possibly be expected from tbo fish and flesh policy pursued by to Methodist church for the past few years. The thin edge of tbo wedge has been in- serted, and it must either be removed very suddenly or driven in up to the head. Going out of Business . . . The Grant Case. Should the drouth which we have suffered from this summer continue to be a feature of this country farmers will have to look around fur some mean* of irrigation. The Valley from Fjecherton to Kimberley is pecnliary adapted to this, mountain springs and streams taking their course through ncurl) every farm. The Advance had the pleasure on Tuesday evening of examining two fields of grain and hay belonging to Mr. J. I. Oraham of Vandeleur which have been irrigated llii summer, and we venture to say that nothing finer ever grew in this country. The oat field is up to one's waist with robust stalks but not yet beaded out. It is a very heavy crop and will be wlieu 'full grown as high as a man'* bead. The same gentle- man has five acres of hay that will yield a ton to the aero. In this time of Htuntfd and sickly growth it is a pVamire to the oye to ret upon green and luxuriant, fields such as these, which show the possibilitk's where streams aud springs can be utilized The back of the drouth has at last been broken, and we have enjoyed a c xiple of fine showers which wen- general over the couuty.hut it came too late to save the hay crop. The othci crops will not be much injured by UK- dioulh. In Otipr-y township, it if gratifying to leurn that all kinds of grain is an excellent crop ; hay it about half a crop. Oiie gr nth man livinj in \itcuic*.*. iufornu us that bu cut ten acres of hay and did not have a ton to stow away. Fgrtbci north, in Holland and Sullivan town- ships, farmers have turned their cattle into the grain fields, aud other* have ben jutting underbrush in tin- buNli to feud them on It is gratifying to know that this dn.aijr dryness ha* not Jone very serioiiM damage '.lu-pngli out all of Ontario and that thero will yet be sufficient in the Iai\d .01 man and beatt It will no doubt conu lr jli. but what is one nun'* jo*-? is another man's gam. The Methodist chinch is now reap- ing the frails of an innovation which should never have been countenanced by the conference board., unless it was intended to make it geiwa.1 and adopt it into the system of church polity. We refer to the "ctUim;" system. The larger and wealthier churches are allowed to state their wislii:>, and can ,'eneialljr rest assured thai Ihry will be attended to by Uie statiqnjug committee, while poorer churches are not yet supposed to, bave arrived at yuan of discretion, a*d must bow to the jndgmsut of the committee as tu who shall preach to tlsm.

HILL, FLESHERTON. the bmsini KS if all such patrons would come to the same conclusion As a rule, in the older dkiry district* partie* who tamper with th milk are among thote whu don't understand the first principle* of successful dairying. They ket- pa few scrubby cowi that are badly fed and cared for, and because they Jo not milk a* well a* their neighbors' cows, are tempted to make up for (heir own neglect by adding water or taking off the cream. Sometime* when a patron of a new c-heoie factory in lined fur tampering with milk, ignorance of the law in pleaded a* an excuse f >r so doing. In this age of Christian enlightenment and ethical cul- ture it should not b* ueccaoary to compl a man to be honest. He ihould surely know that whun the milk sent to a fac- tory ii "po-ile-1 " together it is ss dishon- t tu iup|ily deteriorated milk to that factory, an to take, uiidur cover uf night, gram from a neighbor'* granary.
