Truly we are never satisfied, but dispite our growling, Dame Mature wears a smiling face, and the fields are ' luxuriant with emerald green. The crops' on' the hills are * especially good, and at no time have we had promise of a better harvest than now. To all appearance the yield willbe' heariy] double that of last year, where justice has been done to the soil. A lecture, entitled' " Life from the Dead," for the purpose 1 of- raising funds to purchase Sunday Sohool library books', was delivered by Mr F. Joseph' in the Bchoolhouse, on Mondaynight.
