In 1879 there were 24,682 cattle, 79, © 085 sheep and 4,745 swine- The rapid and highly satisfactory extension of this important trade must be gratifying to all but itis of paramount importance to tho farm- ing community as it places stock raising on a very different footing from what it has been in the past, making as it does the raising of superior stock the'most remunerative department of our agricultural pur- suits, while at the same time it offers the farther advantage of relieving the farmer of the necessity of ever lasting crop, croping his lands till both the lands and the hands become exhausted.

Spinks, I'sq., It affords us much pleasure to meet with youin your pleasant howe after your retire- ment from the public duties which you have xo faithfully discharged for a period of twenty-one years. Wo have taken the liberty of assembling here for the purpose of testifying to the high esteem in which you are held by the people of Cartwright, not only on account of your invaluable ser- vices as Reeve but as a good citizen, kind, obliging neighbor, a triend to the friendless and counselor to those who need advice. -- It seldom falls to the lot of a public man to have the confidence of a municipality so unanimously conferred upon him for so long a period ag you have had ; for seldom indeed, has even the shadow of opposition or the least murmur of complaint<been brought against you, but year after year you marched nobly into office unopposed amid the com- mending plaudits of your grateful con- stituents. We have watched with much satisfaction your course not only at this municipal board, but in the Counties' Coun- cil and have been pleased with the great amount of interest you manifested in the welfare of all. As a member of the very many committees on which you served your influence was always exerted in what seemed to us the right direction tending to the public good and general improvement, but always with a view to economy. Allow me on behalf of your many friends to present you with this Gold Watch us a slight token of the high esteem in which you are held by them and asa kind memento for coming years.-- We trust you will not value it because of its intrinsic worth but on account of the kind- ly feeling which prompted your numerous friends and acquaintances to present it to you as a mark of esteem and approval of your conduct during your long term of oftice. Allow your many friends to indulge the pleasing hope that you may be spared many long and happy years amongst them and that the evening of your useful life may be passed in hapiness along wi h your amiable partner. Signed on behalf of the Com. Jony MONTGOMERY. Mr. Spinks, on rising to reply was receiv- ed with repeated rounds of applause. Calm having been restored Mr. Spinks, went on. Mr. Chairman, Laidies, and Gentlemen, -- In rising to reply to an address at once so flattering and unexpected I can sca.cely find language to express my appreciation of the high compliment thus conferred on one who knows his own shortcomings, snl when I look at this handsome present, this valuable Gold Watch, I can only attribute those manifestations of .espect to your generosity and not to any merit on my part, but be assured that I shall ever appre- ciate most highly these kind expressions of pproval and this ibl, ifestaion of your esteem and liberality. I leave the council at the admonition of that faithful monitor--Time, but I leave it with regret at being deprived of that social intercourse which frequent repetition only tended to make more dear. Yes; my friends, during the many years in which you have honored me with a seat at your council board I have with the other members of council, passed many interesting and I hope not nnprefit- able hours altogether exempt from the bitterness of personal jealousy or peity divi- sion, an intercourse quite compatible with unshackled freedom of speech and * action.-- To these pleasant hours IT will ever look back with satisfaction and pride. Your kindly reference to my actions as a "neighbor," "friend" and "counselor" gives me unbounded pleasure as Ihave always thought that a person who is unable or unwilling to perform tho#® homely, social duties is ill fitted for the higher offices of life. T am conscious, allow me to say, that If I in the slightest degree merit the honor couferred upon me on this occasion itcan only arise from the anxious desire with which I have been influcne- ed to upbold the true interests of our Town- ship and County. You will please accept my grateful acknowledgment of the kindly mention made of Mrs. Spinks in the excel- lent address with which you have favored me. I need scarcely add that it affords me the greatest pleasure to meet with all pre- sent and whatever it may be to you it is to me one of the happiest events of my life. Mr. Spinks now resumed his scat amidst applause, The reeve of the municipality, Mr. Parr, was now called ou and made an excellent speech in the course of which he paid a well merited compliment to Mr. Spinks and en- dorsed the sentiments of the address.

If there is any question here for Congress to consider, it is not one of hazing or of cruelty in its ordinary forms, but it. is the question whether the West Point Academy is a school for the training of soldiers, to whoseadvantages all American citizens are entitled on a footing of exact equality, or a seminary of aristocratic pre- tensions and a nursery of snobs in uniform. th pre eecn Palmerston.--Many years ago an Irish peer named Temple, while riding through the streets of Dublin, was thrown from bis horse and very severely injured.
