The story is told by an exchange that

The Farmers Institute on Friday
and Saturday of last week was one OF the
best that has been held in this place so far.
The attendance on Friday evening was
large, but the sessions Saturday and Sat
urday night were hummers in point of
attendance, on the latter evening there
being scarcely standing room left. The
discussions throughout were spirited,
and the talks by the imported speakers
were far above the averag, the farmers
in attendance taking home with them
many valuable hints touching their busi-
ness, which will stand them in good
hand in future. Every phase of agricul-
ture was touched upon during the two
days sessions, and without doubt much
good will come of the late farmers in
stitute.

one OF air, and he showed how they af-

brain and its action as they govern hu-
man conduct. A number OF musical in
struments were exhibited to show the
effect of sound in all its variations. All
in all, the lecture was deep, serious aud
uplifting aud the audience was enrap-
tured with it. This lecture will be given
in the Court House Saturday evening,
March lst.
