Don't you Wnk BwU ever will Utter be? the pnMnM of either of tlurta eubstance* will MUM the water to be unptereant for a oousiderable time, and will prove th* cause of mu ah annoyance. There is a prevalent nation that a well should be ventilated for ihe purpose of allowing noxious gasses to •Mape, and that water is better for bvi>;p exposed to the air. I hardly need atato that the ouly noxious g uses in a well (thri is, gases which render cho water unwhole some) are the products of the decomposi tion of organic matter which Las found its way into the well in ways which Lava been deaaribod above ; aud Chut water aa it flows in its subterranean passages is more per fectly aerated than it can be in any other (Graphic). Marti EstMetKi. The former’s home may be mode a place of groat interest and attraction ; or it may bo as repulsive os any one'could well im- azino. It is not necessary for us to dwell on tho repulsive features; those who have never felt them have viewed at a distance the shabby premises, the incessant toiling, the almon co of home oom forts, tho worn-out, untidy house-wife, the rough and soiled far mer and bis men. Fortunately, many of vs live In neighborhoods where very differ ent scenes are witnessed. We could cite many examples where farmers, even in quite limited circumstances and still in debt for their land, make country life and country homes the source of mack enjoy ment and often tonnes of exalted plaatnre. Out of twelve working hours each day, they can devote a tenth to brntbing up their premises, and adding to their garden or or- namontul plants, and to their collections in natural history. Tho female members of the family may not bo able to traverss ths Tillage iu idle calls, bat tbo farmer who has good horses can, if he has the spirit of civilization, give them many pleasaul rides at times not iatsrferia; greatly with hit work, and even if there is samr interference, he bears in mind that sueli onj >ymoat may be really more valuable ami more perfectly fulfilling the purposes of a short life, than merely rolling together dollars and cento by uninterrupted work. The present con dition and Itfa of tbo farmer, taken as a whole throughout tbo country, is constant ly improving. With occasional drawbacks and financial reverses, there has been a great increase in means and facilities,in culti vation aud ia appliances for tho perform ance of farm tabor. A powerful agency is constantly at work throughout the land, tending to au elevation of the character of conn try residents and rheir appreciation of their surroundings. This agency is public * school education, and tho remarkable in crease in tbo number of Iba higher class of these schools, the academies and seminaries and their improved instruction and influ ences arc sending out al! through the com munity a large number of young peraomr who arc infusing an improved element into country life. Wo already see a distinct change within the past t wenty years. These public institutions, largely or mostly at tended by ths sons and daughters of far mers, arc silently and powerfully advening the respectability of our agricultral people. A great drawback in tho coinfort of a far- mcr'slife, more especially to the female por tion of the family, ia the very common practice of boarding and lodging a largo number of hired men. Tbo result is that th# former's wife is compelled to keep n per petual boanliug-houSte' She has no rest. Hence, we sometimes see farmers' wives worn out twenty years before their time. Hence, also, the aversion which some far mers' daughters lave to marry farmers, •with the certain prospect of such a hard life before them. Wo have often urged, as a preventive of tbit evil, the erection of work ingmen’s cottages, and the employment of married mon as farm laborers. Long ex perience shows that this method ofsnpporl- iug laborers is much cheaper than the per petual boarding-house plan. Hi* hardly reasonable that the wife of the owner should work like a slave to board a hired man, while the wife 0! that hired man ia at hotna doing nothing, not even providing a meal for bar own husband. A change in this particular would prove a great and .es sentia! improvement ia ths farmer'* life. Willi some ot these discomforts removed tho educated farmers' families may have within their reach, al their own homes, an iunoutft of interest and enjoyment difficult to obtain by tbs proposed plan of moving into village*.—Country Gentleman. to lake * Wen.

They will only bo open to the counties of Oxford and s Middlesex and the City of London. This has been made necessary owing to tho late ness ot tho season and the shortness of time in .which to make the aunonucements.

NEW CATHOLIC Cncnca.—It is proposed to build a new church for tho Roman Catholic denomination in Ingersoll and . vicinity. A large ainonnt—exceeding we beliovo 87,000—lira already been subscrib ed far too purpose, and »□ have no doubt the full amount required to put up a hand- some and eotumodioufi structure will bo easily raised. DAIBY FAIR IS THE WEST.—A grand exhi bition of dairy products implements is to I bo held at Chicago on tho I3to, 19to and 20th Decomber, under tho auspices of the U. S.

The bottara is beiog leveled and put into proper condition to receive the water, and the fonniatiou is being con. stnictcd ns fast as possible. When com pleted it will be ono of the largest and finest structures of tho kind in Western Ontario, and we understand will east about 84,000. Ingersoll never docs things by halves. ROWDYISM. — Ingersoll is perhaps ns moral a town as wo have in Canada, and to keep onr reputation unsullied shall bo our determination. White we seo but little .crime in our neighborhood there nro a few elements at work if left unwatched may develop into sotnetoiug serious. Wo re gret to-sny that there is a class of vonng boys who generally makb it convenient to elub together in public place?, commit uuisauoes, and generally annoy those around them. We think it high time tort this matter be accorded tho attention li roqnires, by tho proper authorities. FULLMAX GATTIE CABS.—A now venture, in too interest of both commerce and hu manity, is the introduction of “palace can" for cattle. Several of these known, as Me* Pherson's palace stock oar«, passed through hero the other day. Tho cattle have the advantage of light, air and comfortable stalls, and they are abundantly watered and fed on tho cars, instead of being ro- moved two or three times to be gorged at filtliy stock yards on tho way. The result is that, white each car carries a greater weight of cattle than tho old box-cars, the shrinkage Is found to ba some 40 per cent, less on arriving at the destination. NEW LOAN SOCIETY.—The Ontario Gaz- stto of Saturday contains an official an- noancement from the Provincial Secretary that letters patent have deen issued under too great seal of tlio Province of Ontario, bearing date tho 5th day of October, A D., 1877, i'corporsting Ilie British Mortgage Loan Company of Ontario, too head office nf jii?b Is to be in London,Ont.

A WHEAT PEST.—There is considerable alarm and anxiety foil among the fanning community of this section by reason of the ravages of on insect which ie now preying upon too tender toootfl of fall wheat. Some fields are alro«dy much damaged, the wheat plants being killed iu large oreos. The In sect attacks toe plant at too firet joint above the root, in some plants or Walks as many as five or more bring found. The insect is of a dork brown color, andweems to be en cased in a shell. The work ot this insect has Ixen noticed but a short time, But it UM already done much damage, and it promisee to destroy the wheat crop abnovt entirely in some seettoos. ed that one of the lungs and tlio heart of the deceased were’more or less diseased. The fltom.ich.was corrugated, an effect commonly caused by excessive smoking. In his opinion death had resulted from wautof proper nourishment, in conjunction with poison from ixcvssivo smoking- The jury returned a verdict to tout effect. THE MODEL FAKH.—A eorreopondent in Attendance at tho Agrieidlural Coltedge at Guelph gives tlio following particulars in regard to it: The Model Farm ia now in a thoroughly organized condition, an.l to oil appearance is making rapid prepress. The land i» being drained and cleaned, nnd ft portion of it is laid out for the express pur pose of experimenting as to tlio effect of too different kinds of manure on grain, roots, Ac. A number ofdifferont breeds of cattle, sheep, swine,poultry, Ac., are kept. Flow ers are cultivatod to'a considerable ex tout, which renders, the placo more attractive. Accotmnoilntion for 83 students has been provided during tho post season, which is all taken np. It is expected that witbin a Jew years the good effects of the College will be visible in too more scientific culti vation of the soil of Ou tail J. BEV. F. II. SAxn?.sox Oct WnsT.—The Dos Mniuos (lowp) Ilcyi'stcr snys;—The pulpit of Centenary church was filled last Sabbath evening by the Rev. F. H. San derson, of London, Canada, end now iu our city visiting in tho fnmily of his brother-in-law, our respected townsman,A. Howell, Esq. The rev. gentleman's tbemo was the Bible, and if our opinion is of nny account, wo venture to say that in point of fluency of utterance, convincing argument, moving eloquence, and mental power, the effort was ono that would not suffer materially by comparinon with the best ■■fforts of many older and more experienced divines standing in the front rnuk of nnlpit orators. From a mere log, at he really is, such au intelligent treat was a complete surprise to the large congregation whose rapt attention he held fur about tliree- qnmters of an Iionr, and when •‘Aman" was reacheil, it seemed the universal wish shut tlio sermon trad been longer. Mr. S. is certainly a young preacher of great pro mise, and should his faithfulness prove commensurate with life ability, as we trust it may, wo cau safely predict for him ” brilliant future, and wo Iicnrtily wish him God speed iu his work for tho Muster. THE LATEST BOOK.—-“Foundations of Success nnd Laws of Trade" is tho title of a new work, published in Loudon, Ont., by Scliyler, Scwiili A Co. Il is said to be the most valuable compendium of business kn?wledgo ever issued in ono culume, containing information witlii.-. its covers that enuuot fail to place evary tnan who buys it on toe road to wealth and afiluouce, ease and enjoyment. Tho amount of knowledge it embraces would require years of experfacca to gain ; nnd only by grouping the experience in the lives of a score of the most successful business men of the nge aud tho authorities on legal matters who have attained a world-wide reputation, and who mo undisputed and endorsed by too entire Law Society bos it been possible to compile so complete a Guide and Legal Advisor iu nil matters pertaining to Busi ness in every walk nnd department of life. It is devoted to business and its successful p/asecution, embracing every detail, from the smallest to the greatest, each being practically considered in ite proper order,1 forming c progressive business guide ami haud-book of reference for mcrcbatils, mechanics, farmers, j’onng men, clerks, and the household. Tho publishers, know ing tbs great importance and valm> of the work, agree that they will refund tbc price of tho book, on its bei.'g returned to them In good order by any purchaser, who, after examiniug the same carefully, shall feel or express too opinion that it is Any thing less than one of the best parchaset of his life This is a guarantee never before offered by any publisher to our knowledge but wlHch they havo no hesitancy in giving in reference to this invaluable work.—Tuo book will be sold only by subscription aud cannot ba purchased in the l«ok stores. Sir. McKay is now canvassing the town aud panics wishing this valnaWo hoik should give him their ordur when called upon by him. of God.” Tlw Doctor proceeded to dwell npon the doctritM of U10 personality of the Holy Spirit, e^li by most conolnsivo reaanuing proved chat tho Holy Spirit is tint an inlhi- enoe, which carnot reason, feel or act indo- penitently, but n living and glorious per sonality. He proceeded to remark that wo aro now under the di.spcns Hion of the Spirit. Ho was often painod to boar the Holy Spirit roferre J to by tho word “ it," as if wo woro spnaking of a th ng. In tha Saviour'* dear statements, in John’s Gospel, Ho uses tho personal pro- noua '• He,”—“ When Ho, the Spirit ol Truth, is como. Ho will guide you into al! truth." Tho possibility of grieving tile Holy Spirit proves His personality, for yon cannot grieve an influence. Wo are tboreforo depend nut upon tho Spirit for an appreciation of Ilia work of Christ. He (too speaker) referred to Uio impor tance of tho woik of toe Holy , Spirit, and said that ono strong proof that the soul of man was in danger of clamed 'niffering was to bo inferred from tho groat suffvriug endured by Cbris> for himr-as ftRp lb’ cfosdesS filro fir Che sJvai?>hi of men evinced by too Holy spirit If 'there w<re no such danger why *ncl» n waste of love and mercy ? Why such an expeulitufo of treasure to Savo him ? The Doctor, in applying liis cogent rea soning, throughmit tlio whole sermon, made some powerful appeals to both saints and sinners to follow tho teachings of th Holy Spirit and not grieve Him by r<jo Cions and indiffcrcncp, as has loo often baon tho case. Tho evening discourse. was from too words : “ For lie had respect to the recom- penso of the award." Hob. 11, 2G. This Was au able disconrse on Clio choice of Moses, its motives, conditions and results. We regret not having spneo for even an outline of this sermon. Suffice it to soj\ that tbc largo and appreciative congrega tions which assembled at both services were hold in daopast attention through nt tho delivery of Ujo sermons, and Ibero can bo uo donbt but many will bo tho wiser and better for having beard them. On Monday evening tlra annual ten meeting was held in the schonJ-room of the church. The atlan-.lanca was large- some say larger than far many years—and after partaking of the rich and abm lant repast provided bj> the ladies, tho people repaired to tho body of the church to enjoy tho intellectual part of the programme. Tho chair was taken by the llev. Mr Kay, pastor of tho ehnreb, and after the opening prayer by tho Rev. Mr. Clmppol. short addresses were given by tho Revds. Messrs. Stringfellow, McEwen, Gardiner and-Grant. Tho very efficient chair of the clitirch did ample justice to their high repo tation by singing several anthems. Special attention sho 11 id bo called to tho rondori ng of a selection from Hayden's Oratorio of the Creation, the principal solo being taken by Mrs. Andrews, whoso voice, so well adapted for that class of'music, was heard to good advantage, as aha all too oilier”. Tho pastor and congregation are to be congratulated upon too success of these anniversary services. It was stated by Mr. Kay timing the nveuing that printed circulars, containing a statemant of all the monies received and expended by tho church during the year, would bo distributed in a few fays, amongst tho families of tho church. This is as it should be. “ And God said let there be light." Jngrreoll, Oct. 23, 1677- The cheese market to-day was pretty wd attended but no business was done.
