The roll 5f students numbers eightyâ€"seven, The curriculum is a very extansive one, emâ€" | bracing Agriculture, Veterinary Science, Chemistry, Geology, Botany, English Litâ€" erature, Surveying, &c. The chjects of the Institution are to. give a thorough knowledge of the theory and practice of| husbandry, and to conduct experiments on the farm connected with the School, which may be of material interest to Agriâ€" culturists. The Hon Mr. Wood, in the eourse of his address to the students, reâ€" marked that "he could not agree withthe idea that the school was for farmers‘ sons, and farmers‘ sons alone. It was designed to give young men an agricultural educaâ€" tion ; to prevent, if possible, young men from deserting such an honourable occuâ€" pation as husbandry ; and is was designed if possible, to tempt others to join the ranks of agriculture. ‘They need nevor think to see the Agricultural Collegeo and Farm pay. It was not the expcrience of any such college‘ that it payed. By far the most suceessful College of the kind in the United States was the Agricultural College of Michigan, and what was its condition? It was endowed with two hundred and seventy thousand acres of land, had an annual revenue of $17,000, but this did not suffice for its maintenance, which besides cost the State $13,000. It that was the result with them, who had twenty years‘ experionce, was it to be exâ€" pected that here we could conduct our College with a pecuniary profit? No. But when their young men were seatiered over the counties as educated farmers, then would it be found that the School did pay."

No trace of him could be found, and the search was kept up without intermisâ€" sion, the neighbors joining the prrents in their efforts to discover the lost one. Foars were entertained that he had been carried off by a bear, as fresh tracks were seen near the house, but the tracks could not be followed up to any great distance, and this doubt held the minds of the searchers until Saturday last, when the body of the unfortanate lud was found in Willi&ua" lake, about threeâ€"quarters of a mile from his home. 1!6 was found about seven feet from the shore, which would indicate that he had entered the lake immediately after dark, and finding the water deeper as he went in, he had turned to go out, fnlleui and smothered in about a foot of water, The untortunate boy was about 17 years of age, and was halfâ€"witted, and was quite a favorite with the people for miles around.

Reasons for the protest and appéal of the Rev. Mr. McMillan and others to the Synod â€" of Toronto and Kingston, come to at a recent meeting in the case of Mr. John Martin, Mount Forest, were read ; the case being that Mr. Martin, who holds the Patent Deed of Knox Church, Mount Forest, refuses to deliver up the same to the Trustees of said churcl, and the decision of the Presbytery having been that it was not their duty to interfere in the matter, on the ground that the question involved was one purely of civil right, and therefore beyond their province. Answers to said reasons were also given in by the Committee appointed for the purpose, and read and adopted.

They base their defense of increased expenses on greater charges for advertising, in conseâ€" quence of the tod.pmwmont of the county examinations, by orders from the Education Department, and on additional meetings of the Boar:, one object of which was to give an expression to their sentiments in regeard to the Education Bill then preparing.

Mr. Greig eaid that his resignation, which was a very painful maiter to him, was not owing to any unpleasant feeling subsisting between him and the congregation, with whom he was in entire harmony, but to other cirâ€" cummstances which made it a duty on his part. â€" Commissioners from the congregaâ€" tion all expressed the great regret felt by‘ the congregation in the prospect of losing: their ministers faithful services, which they: had so long onjoyed.

As a general rule the pulpit is allowed a mohoâ€" poly in sermon making: but while this is Notwithstanding the mbove heading we have no desite to eneroach on the funcâ€" tions of the pulpit. The press and the so there may be special cireumstances in which exceptions may be granted. At the present time a more than usual interest is being felt in matters religious and lay preaching is as likely to become the rule as the exception.. This is satisfactory so long as the preaching is of the right stamp. That it may be so is our earnest wish. So far as our sermons are concerned we shall endeavor to give them point and brevity, and ‘if the cap fit either individuals or bodies of individuals let them wear it humbly until they outgrow it without railâ€" ing at us as being cither the capâ€"maker or headâ€"maker for the cap. _ The subject of our first sermon then is sECTARIAXTSM. â€" ‘The are two kinds of Sectarianism. One \ kind may be described as minus the "ism," the other kind including the "ism." To be nonâ€"Sectarian is no proof of piety, neither is it any proof of religious liberalâ€" ity. The man who while a member of a seet yet boasts that he eares for no one soct more than another, that his views are broad, liberal and monâ€"sectarian. â€" Let him. own down and not be ashamed of it. If the denomination he belongs to is worth anything it deserves his hearty support in preference to all athers, If it don‘t, let him leave it and be sectarian enough to profer one seet above all the other sects. When a sectarian runs about, however, and tclls every one that his church is the only scriptural church, that their mode of worâ€" ship is the only true mode, and more than hinting that outside of the church and its ways there is no salvation. That is sectâ€" arianism and worthy of unspiring conâ€" demnation whether it is found in a Baptist, Presbytorian or Methodist Church. _ At the présent time we have too much sectariâ€" anism and too few sectarians. We want men in a humble way to be proud of their church and coginizant of what she has done and is doing. We want no ignorant or halfâ€"hearted Baptists, Methodists or Presbyterians. _ Members of. whichover denomination ought to be so from an inâ€" telligent convietion that for themselves they have made the best choic>, but they need not therefore think, fir less sray, that becanse their own church is good that the othors are bad, that beeause they believe enrtain "ormulas therefore you‘ll be damned if you don‘t believeacnd pra tice them too.

In an able article on Sir John‘s proâ€" tection resolution the Cobourg World aptly brings into prominence the subjoined extract from a recent meseage of the Govâ€" ernorof New York to the State Legisiature : â€"*Individuals and corporations engaged in the varieus branches of manufacture, taking advantage of the necessities of the Government, rushed to Congress, and, by every means in their power, procured, each for its own benefit, the levy of what were called protective duties under the false proâ€" tence of raising revenue for the Govern. ment, but really to compel consumers to pay exorbitant prices for the articles thus protected. Under the wing and stimulus of this soâ€"called protection, new entorprises were undertakon; new and extensive factories built ; new and needless railways projected and undertaken; new mines and foundries opened, and armies of laborers allured by high wages to these enterprises from fields of agriculture and other sober and radonal employments of life, The few notes of warning raised against the certain consequences of this wild overâ€"ne. tion were unheeded. Extravagance of exâ€" penditure, the absence of everything like frugaiity and economy, oltained in all directions. The empty and delusive bubble thus raised could not enguire, and although kept afloat by the whole power of the Govâ€" ernment so long as it was possible, it met nt last the ivevitable day O doom, Imaginary fortunes vanished in a moment, ill advised railway schemes, mines, mills and fretories wore susponded, and tens of thousands of innocent and unfortunate laborers were left without employment or the means of subsistence. Instead of the high wages by which they lhad been enticed from other oceupations to these enterprises, | they received no wages at all."
