tura Club met on the 9th inst. at the residence Of
I Mr.. Nelson X. Mlcs all the members present cx

rotary. the regular secretary OF the Club, Mr.
/ Thos. Gorsuch, having gone To Europe. The
yield Of wheat aud oats the subject of CONVEX
sation the former, u was thought. would not
equal last years. That which was blown down
and did not mature will lower the average. The
necessity of united effort on the part Of the men,
bcrs and their wives In the arrangement of the
wagon display for the next A grieultnral Fair, was
urged. (The trouble and time required to properly
arrange n wagon for exhibition calls for the labor
Of many hands and minds, and for the labor ca
pended think the premiums offered by the So
ciety are too small, even if the highest premium
Is obtained. There should be \ premium for
every wagon cxhibiied.) Al . o'clock the club adj
jodrned without taking up the question for the
evening. which was slow best farm with profit"
The ladies Of the house provided bountifully In
the way of edbics. Mr.. Miles thought his yield
