THE Agricultural Society had a meet
ing last Saturday according to adjourn
ment, Mr.. John Hall presiding. S. A.
Wood presented the proposition of the
owners Of the piece of land selected by
the Committee at the previous meeting,
being Is acres of beautifully located
level piece Of land, close to the City
lines, overlooking the city and the river
for quite distance. The price is fixed
at $4,000 per acre, with the addition of
the expenses of sale. It was then sug
gested that the farmers of this county
should generally be invited to form a
stock company, for the purpose of pur-
chasing and owning the said land, and
that committee consisting of the Chair
man of the Board, the Treasurer and
CLERK In each town be requested to visit
every citizeu within their town, and in
Yite them to take stock in the enterprise,
each share being fixed at the price OF
$40; and that each stakeholder shall be
entitled to free admittance to the fair
grounds at all times and to his pro rata
share of any surplus revenue from said
property.
Now will these several town officers
named comply with these suggestions
and repeat their success to the president

OUR RAILROAD.

The construction engine for our wes-
tern Railroad arrived late last Saturday,
| on the schooner Mediterranean, which
went up to the Railroad dock on Sunday
morning, and commenced to unload on
Monday.
The locomotive has very appropriately
been called the 'BENJ. JONES' in Just
and grateful acknowledgment of the emf
nent services rendered and large sacrifices
made by that enterprising pioneer of our
City, in behalf of the same Railway
which is now SO happily fastening to-
wards completion,
The work on the road bed is pushed
forward With: great energy, the bridge
across the river is now fully completed
with double track the embankment
at the north Of the bridge will be finish
ed within this week, and the bridge
across the ravine beyond that embank-
ment during the next week; and then
the road bed will be ready for the ties to
within halt mile OF the Branch, a dis
lance of seven miles where large gang
of men is busily employed in filling the
intervening ravine. The long bridge at
the Branch will be taken in hand within
two weeks, the spiles, timbers etc. for
the same being mostly on the ground
already; two gangs Of men at the Branch,
and two other gangs beyond that point
are hard to work completing the road
bed, and thus the whole enterprise is
going ahead as rapidly as heart can wish,
giving the assurance that the most
sanguine expectations Of its friends will
be soon more than realized All hail to
the President and to his interchangeable
co-Workers.

since the late timely rains. and now pre-

Winter wheat and Rye look splendid as
also Spring wheat and Oats, although
the latter have been kept back more BY

IS that OF potatoes, although our farm.

A CHANCE TO MAKE A FORTUNE
We stated last week that Mr.. S. A. Ben
jamin offered his splendid farm for sale,
situated in the town of Cato, at a very
low figure. We would also say that it
has the advantage of most farms by its
good watering facilities, and large guam
titles of maple growing upon it. This
polnt-if we are not mistaken-was once
the property of the old railroad company
which they had intended to make their
watering station. Mr.. Benjamin offers
this for sale because his extensive bust
ness in Brown County requires his whole
attention. This farm of 100 acres is
situated about one mile below what is
called the Cato Corners and is largely
improved. Anyone wishing to purchase
can gain information by calling at this
office or at the -four store of P. P. Smith.
