The fall wheat alone, of which a wide acreage was sown. has ‘ taken up so much room in many in- stances that farmers have been com- pelled to thresh out a portion to make room for the later crops. In 21'" in~ stances where this has been done the reports are of the most encouraging kind. The yield of grain is even larger ; than expected. In most cases the yield per acre thus actually verified is found to be between 30 and 40 bushels per acre, while in other cases it is even higher. An instance is given in a Ham- ilton paper in which the enormous yield of 47 bushels ttythe acre is repontâ€" mi ’ Farm Produce and Manufactures, on or before the 30th insh, and Horticul» tural Products, Ladies' Work and Fine Arts, on of‘liefore the 6th of Septem.- ber.

The story told of the jury who tried Mainwm-ing toss- ing up as to what their verdict should be is denied. The iury say that when they retired, in order to have a regular discussion they agreed to appoint a chairman, and as the foreman refused to preside they cast lots for the position of chairman, and this was in all likeli» hood the foundation of the story. The London papers generally agree that there is a probability of a reprieve be:- lng granted the prisoner. a curious fact, and one exceedingly creditable to the architect of that fan)» ous tower, that the lighthouse which Smeaton erected in 1759 is still as firiii and serviceable as it was at first. The storms of 130 years have not loosened one stone of the building, or given the slightest cause for believing that it is now less Secure than it ever was. But while ocean has done its worst against Smeuton's masterpiece, and has failed to find a weak point, it has been more successful with the rock on which the lighthouse stands. This has been so “much shaken that the authorities of ' Trinity House have felt Constrained to make provision in time against any possible catastrophe, and have entered into arrangements for the erection of another structure about one hundred and twenty feet south of the present one, and on the largest rock of the reef. This erection, the foundation stone of which, as we have said, was laid on Tuesday last, is much larger every way than Sueaton's, but is constructed on exactly. the same plan. It is calculated that the new building will be completed in abontfour xmpedfiilLMAbout $59,“. Tim foundation stone of the new Eildystone Lighthouse was laid with appropriate ceremonies by the Duke of Edinburgh on the 19th inst. Very few of our readers can be entirely ignorant of the famous lighthousezwhich for a hundred and twenty years has stood upon the Eclilystone Rock, not very far from Plymouth, resisting all the ten» pests which during that time have swept in from the Atlantic, and by its ‘ warning light saved many a valuahle cargo and crew from destruction. It is his farm and with the proceeds stocks a village store. Not unfrcquently the venture is successful for years, and when the times are propitious, and na~ tural talent for business is developed into a valuable experience, the ambition of the storeltevper in gratified, and la- beconies possessed of an :lSsIu'Hl Compeâ€" tence, perhaps of great wealth.

By all means let farmers’ sons become storekeepers or engage in any other field of business enterprise towards which they have a nalmul bias but let them begin early to iit themsel- ves for the occupation it is proposed to enter upon."
