Meeting ot the Ingersoll Branch of the U. C. Bible Society WM held iu the Baptist Church, Thames Street, on Monday evening, 21st insti, at 8 o'clock. Tho opening devotional exercise* w-rc conducted by Rev. J. Dempsjy, pastor of the church, after which the Secretary wa* called upon to read the financial and statistical report* : sales cf Bibles and Testimcnta in the depository during the year, ^SG.3G; the amount of monies coUe.-ted by the I Julies Committee, $152.79, it being somewhat leas than tta previon* year. We regret to say that at a meeting of the Indies' Committee W d at the reaid coco of the President, M«. Thoe. Brown, Dec. 11, 1877, it was resolved to tender their resignation M A Collcctal Committee into the haiuUoftta general committee, leaving them to make aneh arrangement* „ they may see fit for tho pur­ pose of collecting funis for the Bible Society. It would appear that they were led to take this *tcp from a feeling of discouragement arising from a difficulty of securing a suffici­ ent number of collectors, that their appeal* to the chnrchei had received a very slight rcipotue ; that sumo of the churches were not represented by ■ solitary collector; * state of thing* deeply to fa regreted, t specially iu view of the Bible Society being purely nniec- tarian; and whose motto ia '‘The Bible of the World,” it should be icgardcd not only aa a duty but a privilege in which the lover* of the Bible should cordially unite. It is sincere­ ly to be hojied that lady committee* will re­organize and receive such cordial *upport from all the evangelical churches of this town that they may ta encouraged to resume the noble though arduous duties of collecting fund* for the Bible Society. I^ev. J, Kay moves! the adoption of the re­port with lotne very appropriate remarks. Among other things ta tuggeatod that tta Bible Society tad greatly tended to protftote the harmony and kindly testings now existing among oil professing Chrirtfam. For fear of tresparaing on your valuable space I roust be brief. Rev. J. Gardner seconded the adop­tion of the report; he expressed a hearty sympathy with the Bi We Society.

After ample justice had been done to the good things provided, by the lusty Scott* and their friend* around the tables, the cloth was removed, and tta remainder of the evening was spent iu a very happy msnaer. The chairman, A. Oliver, Esq., said be occupied his position at the h«ad of the tabla by virtue of his being the lost Presi­ dent of the Caledonia Society. Without any lengthy remarks he would proceed with the bnsmess of the evening, ami asked the company to charg* their glasses for a toast which was always received with enthusiasm in Canada by Scotchmen, Irishmen or Englislrmen. The toast he wa* about to propose was " Tta Queen." Received with three cheers, and followed with ” God Save the Queen" by tee company. The next toast WM “ Tta Governor-General of fta Do- minion and Ilie Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario." This toast was duly honored and followed by the song—“ They are Joly Good Feb lows." * The House of Commons and the Legislative Assembly of Ontario " was next given. Col. Skinner, who was called upon to reply, said he was not prepared to make a speech, and so would curtail whatever re­ marks he might be expected to make in order that mare limo might be given for the singing of soma cf Ribbio Burna’ songs. The lost ho heard of tee H OUM of Commons was that it wa* iu the enjoy­ ment of good health.

He asked thorn to drink "To the Memory of Robert Burtts, the Scottish. Bard.” The toast was duly honored, and was re­ sponded to by Mr. AV. K.

HILIADOS, Town Clerk. for himself, be labortit not so inneM to R»t J people out of ball as to gel heJ out of Ihe people. The only hell ha believed in was a place of future retribution, where men would be paidslied for tha pnrpneo of pari- fyiuR them, with a view to their nhimata Mslrntion. He piried say educated man who believed in a bell in the con ven Ilona I sense. The Jews of Chrirt'a time did not believe in an endless bell, but merely that men would be purified by punistRnent ns Gehenna, in the Vale of Hiumiu, was purified by fire. The teima which have come down to ue as synonymovs with hell were originally merely usvd in a symbolical sense. There was not io the Talmud any idea given of the .'•ell now generally accept ed, and ila pages shewed that the punish- meat fw Gehenna Was only temporary, oven for the worst of sinners. Whan men talked of eternity, tl«y had no aec'irals notion of wbat they were saying. To iaJ{ of endless torment, simply for the puipose 01 ^nuish- went, was an outrage on every human h- stinet. His idea was that there would b® punish meat simply for purposes of refor­ mation—such pmiishmeut ss wo gave our children merely forlhtirgood. The thought of endless punishment was roi»n?naHt to all. There might ba some Lmndaiiou f<>r the doctrine of the annihilation of tho wicked, but it wai "difficult, il not iinpcsrildc, to really believe 111 al tlu-y would bo everlast­ ingly tortured.

It was then urged that as on act of coarity iu return forihe vart amount of enr dairy prodnets imported into England without duty, the duty imposed by this country on English salt ought to here- pealc 1; and accordingly a resolution to that cffeA w.-u mloptsd by the convention. Prof. Euglehart of Syracuse then followed with » atymtifle essay on salt and its uaes.ttd showed by chemical analyses that theOaon ilago dairy salt is the purest known in the trade, and be also gave a number of tosti uionials in its favor, as being oqunl to any imported. 8o the salt eueslion IWIMDS on- aetficd j thn vohvention f.wotiwg free trade mid free hpioione, TASTVAE LAND AND OUAME9-. Dn N. 8. Townsend of the Ohio Agricub turnj- College, Ited been appointed to address the wn^utiad on thia anlijrtt> but being nniiblb-to be present ho sent W brief letter setting forth the importance of improvement in thia direction ; to increase the fertility of dairy pojturca by plowing, manuring and dr.iiuing, and then seeding with a variety of grasses, instead of timothy alone as is the c mi mon practice, Waving other varieties to come in with the weeds. Mr. M. 11. Bateham of Painesville being in- Invited to speak on thia subject,raid he hod in- a, acted mwy xJ the dairy pMtnrm in difler- ent counties'of the Western Reserve the past cumiucr, and be found that most of them were fast decliaisg in productiveness so that with­ out a radical change on the part of the dairy fartnen they would soon fail cf ruppori and the foil! dat'm of this whole business would be giving way. He said theaMJUiKs' returns of the dairy counties ia Northeastern Ohio showed a dceliuc in tlio productive capacity of pasture lands wuounting to one-third or tnofa, Iba past ten yeara; arid on account of this de elin-j dairy forming was becoming unprofitable. Ifo said the lands were originally quite fertile, but uol deep, and tho vcgeatablo matter at tlic surface had been all exhausted ; and no plowing or means of reiteration being nsed, the clay roil had become very compact from treading white wet, and the gra-.a.'s killsd out by constant feeding off or over-stocking—then worthless weeds came in. He raid the old pastures would have to be broken up, and sn- riched in some way, and when seeded down, > mixture of grasses should be used, in accord once with the English plan, though he would not rcccommcnd using as many varieties. The following h B believed would bo found adapted to most of the clay tends, and would form n good mixture for dairy pasture. Timothy, Red-top, Blue grass, Orchard gras', Meadow Fescue and English Ryo grass. White clover might bo added with advantage, where it is known to flourish. ON waxenox or cows FOR THE DAIRY. n good deal W.M said, not in favor of any par- tienbir breed, but tl at the faimjra should take more psi us to raise or procure gco.l milkers of common or grade stocir. Mr. Horr of Wel- ligton, O., gave some tailing fae:s from Mtc records of his cheete-factory. and his own farm experience, cent resting the annual’ yield and profits of different cowCand dairies, show­ ing that some cows Were worth three times as ■nuchas others for dairy pa i puses, mid that the difference in this respect w.-u often so great between different herds M to make all tho difference between a fair annual profit and actual loss to the farmer. rms or DAIRY REFCSX WM the subject of an craay from Mr. Vanduser ot Elmira. He gave some useful hints co the use al whey and kuttcamilkas food for calves and swine, giving preference to the latter ani­ mals, os the most profitable and convenient for creamery or factory men; but, adding that the profits from this source wero generally less than tho dairy fanrcis imagined.
