thIs winter, several farmers metat nelgh- bor's house and formedsa North. Cornwall Farmerss Club, and every year since a has been reorganized and held its meetings with more or less regalarity,as circumstan ces permitted. At first the meetings were held at the different school houses; but the farmers found it rather cold comfort to build their own fires and spend Il cneerless hour or two iii the discussion of some dry subject, leaving their wives and daugh- ters enjoying the cheerful home fire side Atiength the practice of meeting ut each others houses accompanied by said wives and daughters was adopted, which added greatly to the success of the club. At a recsnt meeting of the club a committee was appointed, consisting of N. Hart, J. P. Brewster, E. M. Rogers and Elias Scoville, to arrange for holding meeting to cele lbrate the 25th anniversary of the Formation of the club. and MT. T s. Gold was reques- ted to prepare an historical address for the occasion. Mir. T. s. Gold generously invi- ted the committee to accept his residence as the place of meeting, and. last Wednes- day evening, in response to invitations given, his parlors were filled by some l5O of our towns people and invited guests from abroad. srlsa 94a.

 ,, After an hour of friendly intercourse, the company were called to order and Mir. Gold read an interesting let ter from Mir. H. M Hart, the preseEt Pres 1ident of the club. who was unable to att tend on account of ill health Mr. H. re- counted something of the early history of the club, stating some facts of special inter- est, ,one of which was that this club was the originator of the State Agricultural Society. Mir. Gold then occupied some tel, or fif- teen minutes in giving general review of the labors of the club, referred to tho changes among it's members now living, and allu.le,l with great deiicsley aud, much feeling to the dead and those who had bur- ried their dead, and to the living who had learned patience in the school of suffering.

Pleasant and improv- ed dwelling houses, commodiousi barns, and neat stone, fences. give evidence of thrift and prosperity that will always fol-. low in the train of Intelligent industry.
 Dr. Gold remarked concerning the preju- dice with, which improved machines had been received, instancing the introduction of the first horse-rake. At the, bare sug- gestion of the introduction, of moving machine the community would have con, sidered him q fit subject for lunatic asylnm.
 Altogether, the occasion was. one of great interest, and no one apparently en-, joyed, it more than Pr. Gold, who, has all, ways beenia pioneer in every enterprise for the public benefit Did time permit, a heightened detail of all the remarks
 wouldbe very interesting, but suffice it to say, all were excellent and to. the point, and showed unmistakahly the high esti, mato the speakers entertained of agricuIz tural pursnits, and the advantage of bring. ing to bearf1pon them the result of re. search and the zinterehangea of thoughts and details of praotics. 1sd taIt asa aa9 on 3dz vfa44ti+ # --4-.-4 444 T sYg ,Eus t9E 1nlad INVESTED mob svad bIBo, 4Apafty of young men composed of bank.
