In saying fehii, however, it mutt nob be supposed that the other meoi^eri of the corps did nothing on the contrary, .tor one and all worked Ike Trojans and assisted to make the entertain meat—wheh is a more itting term than a eonesrt—such a great success. The opening item was a ohoruß by the Miontrfjli", which went very well, and then Mr Schwartz—who throughout asbftd as loterloouter~B»ve,'Apbolenft Snow' which wa« wtll received,' ths chorus being very pretty. Mr M J Burgess sang 4S»Uy Homer' with maeh taste, his fine tenor enabling him to do fall justice to the softer notes. Measra Bray, Budkio,'Flower, Anderson aad Slock, ftlto contributed coloi, which were much appreciated and mostly encored.

I Intend again to use Clarke's Protector daring the coming season. Gzorge Grant, Farmer, Southbrldge. I am pleased to inform you that the Clarke's Wheat Protector I obtained from you list season has proved successful, being, superior to bluestone* m every way. The latter dressing only gave 6 bushels per acre, whereas the Wheat Protector gave 18 bushels. It is a preventive against Bmut and the small birds nuisance, and I shall continue to use it.—-Yours sincerely, ■ Jas. Brown, Horarata.
