bed with his wife's corpse. He did the same the two
following nights, after which he returned home no
more, but sent a letter by post to IL Vigneron, his

has been eiperienced during the past nopronedently
dry season in procuring scfficient pasturage for sheep,
the stock ware not in such good condition as usual, and
failed to produce prises equal to those obtained in
former years. Your pens of tine full-mouthed ewes
were first put up, two of which foaled purchasers at £3
per head. There were 18 pens of 10 each, the principal
purchaser of which was the agent of Lord &delay, to
whoa. eight lota were knocked down each at DI pre
bead, and two others at 38a. per Iliad. The yeller
lambs were put up in seven lots of • score each, and one
of ten. Two score were purchased at 255. per head,
five at 26.., and the remaining ten at 21s. In the
letting of rams, with the eaception of one animal, there
was not much competition. This ram—a four-year-
old—after a keen competition was knocked down at 15
pantos. The other prioes obtained varied from CIO to 111
guineas. The first or Great Levee sheep fair, which is
the most important fair of the description bold in the
region of the Bouthdowns, took place on Wednesday
on the Bpittal Farm, in the outskirts of the town. The

Chairman' In proposing the toast of the evening,
" Secoseeto the Vale of Bonham Agricultural tier ety,''
paid a high tribute of respe:t to the Illustrious Prince—
the Due d'Aumals—who preceded him as president
of the essosistioi, and expressed the pleasure be felt in
aosepting the invitation to be their president for the
current gear. He spoke of agricultural societies as
calculated to maids men to bring forth the pettiest and
richest products of which the O&M is capable, and said
he was delighted to fled them supported throughout the
length and h of the lend as they are. There was
no district where such • society had a better chance of
nurses than in the Vale of Eveshase, where were as
good formers as could be found in the island. Sir John
then introduced the question of long leases, and
expreeeed • Wrong quit* that they were the only
means at giving farmers that security to which they
were entitled Wore expending large amounts of capital
on the cultivation of their farina Tenants objected on
the ground that they had soulidenee in their landlords,
and landlords were opped to it because they were
anxious to retain their "power over the land." Fie
repudiated the notion of a man putting his trust in his
landlord, and advised him to treat the emitter as any
other commercial transaction would be treated.aed to put
his trust in • written document. With refersoes to the
landlord, if his power over the land referred to game, he
thought that soy man who kept an unnatural and
explosive quantity of pine ought to pay for it. (Rear

He mid that "the cods" drawn up by the Vale of
wveshani Society would prevent landlords' property from
being impoverished, as some feared. Sir John concluded
by quoting figures from a paper presented to the
Oxford Farmers' Club by Mr. Sanderson, which proved
that in the north farmers had offered much higher rents
for farms on twenty-one years' leases than for the same
form on fifteen years' lessee, and the farms lei (or

ermines than those bald on short tenancies.
