A good agricaltural Journal in the Provinee of Ontari> is very much needed. It is true that the Globe does its best, with the limited space at its disposal, in the Week ly edition, to supply this want, and other newspapers give acricultural seraps as they best can. But a great deal more is wanted to keep A wiculturists abreast with the rapid improvements made nowâ€"aâ€"days in the science and art of Husbâ€"nlry and its allies. We are therefore glad to learn that Mr. Robinson has taken the matter in hand. The new Journal will be called the Rural Canadian, will be isued twice a month, and will be supplied at the low rate of one dollar per annum, with a reduction to clubs. While chiefly devoted to agriâ€" cultural sabjects and Bairying, Cattleâ€" Feeding and Fruit productions, due attenâ€" tion will be paid to Tree planting, Forestry and the Garden. The services of the well known and experienced agrienltural writer, W.F. Clark, have been secured for the editorial chair of the Rural Canadian. â€"The Syndicate has just shown what it eso do, and what it will do, to secure a perfect monopoly in railway transport through the North West, and to place that country abjectly under its control. The South Western Railway Company hold a charter to build a railway from Winâ€" nipeg to the Souris coal fields, and offercd to build the line on condition that the city of Winnipeg voted a bonus of $200,000 to it. This was about to be done, but the Byndicate stepped in, and so effectively bulldozed the Winnipeg Council that the: bonus kas been granted in favor of the SByndieate branch, proposed to be built in the same direction. Itf the ratepayers of Winnipeg are as casily manipulated as their representatives in the Council, then the only truly competitive railway that eould be built in the North West will be burked, and the Syndicate Monopoly estabâ€" lished for the next twenty years. This is an illustration of what may be expected at the hands of every monopoly. â€"Conkling has been defeated,and all ; ood men will rejoice at the resalt.

Collections of pus have formed | in the course of the wound, giving rise to | exacerbations of fever and general uneasiâ€" ' ness, with symptoms of approaching | pyiemia or pus poisoning. _ However as the .« col ections of pus have been opened and a free discharge a‘low: d, all the alarmâ€" in : symptoms have disappeared, although | the patient continues in a depressed and critical state. _ It is quite evident from the | ofticial bulletins issued,that greater auxiety Iis felt by nis attendants as to the result, | than at any time since the first crisis of the \injury was passed. In the course of the illness of the President, expressions of the tmnst profound sympathy have been conâ€" veyed to himself and his family from repreâ€" l sentative persons in every country _ in Europe, and the other day the following letter, which we give in full, with the reply, was cabled from Mr. Gladstone to Mrs.‘ | Garfield :â€" the assurance of my own feelings and those of my countrymen on the occasion of the late howrible attemipt to murder the Presiâ€" dent of the United States, in a form more palpable at least than that of the messages conveved by teleeraph. _ Those feclings have been feelings in the first instance of tound, and that any one knowingly allowâ€" ing the Black Knot to remain on his Plum or Cherry trees shall be fined on conviction Lelore any Justice of the Perce. To this Act we would refer our correspondent. Our correspondent directs attention to a matter of considerable importance to orâ€" chardists mm the County of Grey : inasmuch as the cultivation of the Plam, aithough . already a profitable industry in some paris of the county, is capable of very great exâ€" pansion, and, as the discase known as | the Black Knot, is one of the most deadly . enemies of the Plum tree. Mr. Roy, of Owen Sound, in his evidence before the : Agricultural Commission, said that from .| 14,000 to 16,000 bushels of Plams, which *\ realised the producers ahout one dollar per *\ bushel, had been shipped last year from _| the port of Owen Sount to Chicago. This, taken together with the fact that the Counâ€" ty of Grey is admitted by Horticulturists to be, as regards climate and soil, specially ‘ | anited to the cultivation of the plum, will at onee show what an important industry: _| this may become, as soon as the railways | now in course of construction in the counâ€" ty are completed, and every locality placed within an easy distance of a railway station. | In the County of Grey the Plum has enjoyâ€" \|ed a comparative immunity from the atâ€" ‘| tacks of those insecte which have been so ‘| very destructive to it in other parts of the |eountry. The Black Knot to which our | correspondent refer«, however, promises to | be as injurious, unless its ravages are stayâ€" | ed, as the eurculio has proved to be elseâ€" | where. Mr. Beadle, in his book on Garâ€" | dening says that the Black knot is most ! prevalent upon trees growing in imperfectâ€" 4 ly drained soils. It first appears as a soft |swelling in the bark of small or medium | sized branches. This swelling rapidly inâ€" | creases in size, presents a rough nneven | surface, becomes black and hard with age, and if left alome, not only destroys the | branches affected, but in a few years causes | the death of the tree itself. Various remâ€" | edies have been suggested, such as the apâ€" | plieation of a solution of copperas, washing with lye, &e.,but the best treatment is cuttâ€" ing out the affected branches and burning | | them. _ A diyersity of opinion _ exists | among Horticalturists in regard to the|‘ nature of Black Knot; some maintainâ€"}; \ing that it belougs to the â€" class|! of fungi, and like all fungi, is propâ€"|; agated by spores which are wafted by the )4 winds, lise thistle down, from tree to tree; | | while others hold that the exerescence is|| due to an unknown insect which pierces the bark, and within its layersleposits its egas. | Whichever theory may prove to be the | eorreet one, one thing is certain,|j that one infeeted orchard becomes a cenâ€"| . tre of infection to a whole district. In the | session of 1879 an Act was passed by the | & Legislature of Ont«rio to protect Plam and | | Cherry trees, by which it is provided, that | the Biack Knot tound on Plam and Cherry 3 trees shall ve evt out and immediately | ; burned by the owner or oceupant of the orchard in which trees so affected are|, Dear m»dam, PRESIDENT GARFIELD BLACK KNOT. his pai Loxnex, July 21 + Agsie m ut dild oi :) qwek ans I by, and on Sunday evening he was taken aatryme ... | home.

To call it "*Williamsford," which its residents say is the proper name for it, also leads to confusion, for that is the name of the Post Office and railway station to the east of it on the T.

To the Editer of the Grey Review. d, | _ Then he must have a Bible Class, atleast {, | once a week, for the benefit of the congreâ€" h| gation. We thus see ‘how the Ministers of | time is taken up, with so much work. But it | we have not merely mentioned them all. t, | It must not be forgotten, when the Minister e i is called on to perform a marriage cerc» d mony, we must not suppose that a thing of s | this kind will be refused. It may be he has d l not far to travel, on the occasion, and the > ; groom gives liberally for his trouble. This e | isencouraging, â€" But it sometimes happens s | that he has to go ten or twelve miles, and e | on the very worst road too, and barely re , | ceives two dollars from the small hearted: d | groom ; in the case of the later it is someâ€" : s | what discouraging. We trust, that in the: n | future, all those who may be requiring the 8 | services of any Rev, gentleman to perform â€" | such ceremony, will most highly appreciate such services, and show the same by forkâ€" ing out a five ora ten dollar bill. This wou‘d only be showing a little of the estimation, | which they attach to the important and solemn ceremony of marriage. â€" Now when ° | we look back upon all the work that the °| Minister has to do, we must candidly say °) that he ought to be well paid, and so he ° | does, but eften, too often indeed, we find him to be an illpaid servant. Though he * | may be promised so many hundred dollars * a year, it so happens that he barely receives t | twoâ€"thirds of that sum. _ It is to be regreitâ€" ‘| ed that so many people are so inconsiderâ€" | ate as to suppose thata minister should live without funds. We find people who will| > { try and pay up all other debts but that of | > | the Church, They seem to be honest peoâ€" |â€" | ple as far as their dealings with one anothâ€"|| | er are concerned, but there is a lack someâ€" , | where, on the part of that individual whose | will is not to support Gospel Ordinances. |! !

If this course was pursued and strictly adhered to, it would save the } Minister the unpleasant task, which he is a often obliged to do viz. speaking on money | t matters from the pulpit.

A Laystar. | 4. _ There are undoubtedly a great many people in the world, who suppose the Clerâ€" gyman‘s life to be one of ease and comfort, and that many enter into this sphere of labor, because it is so. It is the purpose of the writer, (who is not a minister) to show on the other hand, that it is one of much labor, and generally not so well renumerâ€" ated as many suppose. The young man attending a Public School has made up his mind to be a minister. He is very dillhâ€" gent in his studies, nothing short of that will do. He is preparing to enter the High Bchool. An examination is before him, he must exert himself, and do his best, so that failure may not be the result. Wesuppose he has passed. He has now a new courseof study to pursue ; he has to spend many long and wearisome days studying Languages, Mathematics, &ec., before he can enter on his Uuiversity course. â€" His trials are now, only at the commencement. College life is not strewed with flowers. â€" Its laurels are only won by a hard course of study. The man who graduates has paid forhis degree. It must not be forgotten, that it cost him many a toilâ€"spent hour, many a wearisome night burning the midâ€"night oil. When others were having their sweet repose, he was pondering over his books. The young man gets through his College course, and he enters upon his course of Ministry. He gets the charge it may be of a large conâ€" gregation, now he finds a great amount of work to perform. He has perhaps (as the case may be) to preach two or three sermons every Sabbath, and at least to study two of them every week. He is expected to visit each family in his congregation, at the least, once a year. If he fails (unavoidably) to visit one, the Minister is aceused of hayâ€" ing favorites, and thus some are offended. Again it is his duty to visit the sick, in his congregation. He no doubt endeavors to do this as much as possible ; and yet may not find it convenient to visit as frequently as expected. He has to see to the prayerâ€" meetings ; that they are kept in operation, for if not, the probability is that they will go down. Black Knot.

Possibly one of the most curions freaks ’over performed by the electrice fluid was the removal of an won rail from the track of the H. & N. W. Rauilway on Ferguson Avenue, Hamilton,on Sunday.

A high wind was blowing, and before the local fire department could get their hand engine in working order the flames spread rapidly to a barn owned by Mrs. Philip mcross the street, causing a great conflagration. Everything being dry as tinder, the flames made a clean sweep of about oneâ€"third of the village, consuming one whole street, with the exception of one house. The total loss is between $20,000 and $30,000.

The prolonged checring with which the passage of the bill through committee was hailed will probably be taken by the Lords as an indicatien that the measure is one that must be let alone.

No large section of bis followers was quite pleased with the Irish Land Bill, and the Tories obstructed it even more bitterly than the Parnellites. To hold the House to one subject for nearly five months was a great tusk ; to steer the Bill safely past over a thousand proposed amendments was a victory of wisdom and t ct, and never equalled by an English Minister. The Liberal majority never wavered but onceâ€"when the amendment proposed by Mr. Heneage was voted onâ€"and then the Covernment was not opposed so much as deserted by the Whigs, During the follow» ing week a judicions concession of no great | importance brought them into line again.

FaTaL AcCIDENT.â€"Laust Friday a serious accident happened near West Aontrose, by which a young man named Rudulph Zee man lost his life. It appears the young man had been returning home with a mow» ing machine, and on getting off to open the gate his horses started. He sprang to their heads to stop them but they ran over him, drawing the muchine across is ribs. He only lived about two hours after the acciâ€" dent. The mnl heat in Europe, in eli. mates i M y, raises the ues tion whether after all the i tbeqy.., has given of a good lcncum:..o., it is to be a drought year. . English â€" wenther chronicles record many striking instances of intense heat and drought combined ey. tending to the Continent. In 1880 My, Lowe, a wellâ€"known British scientist, tap. ulated and discussed the historic records of remarkable European droughts and frosts from A. D. 184 to the &mm time, and from his Aniu of duata concluded that "every eleven years drought and heat are experienced usually of three years, durâ€" ation. In his Pubhcuuon. ‘"The ‘Jolmng Drought," which he calculated "‘should commence in 1880," he says, "‘there seems every pmmity of a continued drou“m beâ€" ing now upon us, as we have wrived at that portion of the cyele when droughts oeâ€" cur." â€" His investigation apparently shows that great droughts have usually beepn preâ€" ceded by severe frosts, and as frequently followe! by eold winters, or that in the maâ€" jority of cases, so far back as truced, "all the extremes of temperature are in groups of somewhere about five years, followed Y»; & like period in which the heat and cold is not excessive." The present almost simul. taneous extreme tempersure in l‘in;:lund, France and Germany shows that the hot wave has not been local, but widespread in its sweep, and the thermal range, extend. ing in the shade to ninety â€"eight degrees or over ut Paris, indicates un unusually dry atmosphere on the Continent. Had this hot weather occurred a few weeks ago in **was particularly cold and ungenial, but it was from the 18th of July to the Ist of August that the temperature was most deâ€" ficient." ‘The present July is the thermal contrast of that but if severe droughts suâ€" pervene on its blistering heat the damage to vegetation may be nearly as great from the excess as it was in 1867 from the defiâ€" ciency of temperature.â€"London Free I‘ress, Â¥Ausotic sA s Europe its effects would probably have been very unfavorably so the growing . crops, As it is now possibly too late to effect the ripening process disastrou«ly the «rops may not suffer very materially, though it would ssem certain that the excess of temperature, like all marked meteorological extremes, cannot be propitious for agriculturists, Tue memorable July of 1867, so disastrous to British farmers, according to Dr. Buchan Weuthorgnd Crops. +4 @ ++ Burde ch t lood Blitters Cures scrofulay °t #1pseas, »alt sh and all bumors :r....‘ bnood, Cures lnv.:c_fipmpl..v i&, â€" hili nsness, . go drâ€" t"lue’ c Aoiuts, . hows w“ female weskness and o gage. â€" Bitumg Bull seems mo insolent than any of the cln thouglt kind treatment will him that the Government has surrender in good faith.
