Important to Farmers.

Having leased the warehouse No. lis
King street, (now occupied by John
Reeve as a coach factory,) and intend.
ing to move thereto between now and
March 25th, weare desirous of reducing
our stock of goods as much as possible
in order to curtail expense and trouble
in moving. We will, therefore, now
offer special inducements to purchasers.
Our stock embraces almost every tool
and implement used on farm, and
will be sold prior to our moving at Il
decided reduction in price. Now is the
time to secure bargains in pIows, har-
rows, fodder and hay cutters, farm tools
and machinery. Thanking our friends
for their liberal patronage in the past,
we hope to merit continuance of their
favOrs at our new and more centrally
located stand.

Thinking and Reading.

Those who read everything are
thought to understand everything too
but it is not always SO. Reading only
furnishes the mind with the materials
OF knowledge ; lit is thinking that makes
what we read ours. We are of the ru.
minating kind, and it is not enough
that We cram ourselves with great loads
of recollections. Unless we chew them
over again, they will not give us
strength and nourshment.
