A deputation representing the rid- ing agricultural societies of this 1'roviuce will wait upon the Minister of Agriculture, at the Walker House. Toronto, cu Thursday next, Feb. 18, with a view to securing to such societies a distribution of the $10,000 which has heretofore been made by the Legislature to the Agricultural and Arts Association of the Province and which will be partially withdrawn this year. This ten thousand dollars, if equally divided atuoag the riding societies of the Province, would allow of each oue reccving a fraction over one hundred dollars. This snug ht- ile mm would b a great source ol strength, and there in no doubt what ever but thai the money so dis tributed wouJJ do the greatest possible amount of.WiefU thus distributed over the largest possible extent of terri lory. l in to be hoped that the united efforts of the various riding societies will at least prevent this amount of money being granted to ajiy of the permanently located city exhibitions, and that the local govern meat will toe its way clear to divide AJit- money in the manner indicated with the several electoral district societies. This cannot be done dur ing the present year, u set forth in a letter from the Hon. Chas. I)nirj from the fact that the grant to the A and A. Association will not bo wholly withdrawn this vear, at it will n quire Hf veral thousand dollars to clear uu the indebtedness, but this is the proper time to make the request in order to secure it hereafter. uan taking the Globe u^uiarly hait ome to be strong r.iiuia facie evi- nee of liitt respectability and moral worth." It is scarcely probable that he time will i-ver arrive when, in the 'orouto 1'olice Court and other .ourts, the deicnce of preview* good Character will rest wholly upon the jin-stiou of whether the accused is a subscriber to the Globe or i.ut I bach self-aduUtion is calculated to engender a nauseous sensation juat tbove ones bell. Mr. Brown's bill which has paused its second reading in'thc House o ' ommous, entitled "an act , to maki further provision as to the prcvcntioi >>f ciulty to animals, and to annu chap. 172 of lli.- Itcvised HUtues of ' Aiiu'l.i," is one which will attract i n r ood deal of attention, and will receivi ..>|i|>ositi(jii from Certain quarter!. I makes it an offence, subject to a fine ' f lifiy dollars, for any person I "keep or use any live animal or biix I'or the purpose of being used an a target, or to bo shot at, cither fo ..inn- i;.' .it oi as a test of skill in marksmanship," or any one who is i party to such offence-.

The Canadian Nation, the new Third Party organ, has this to say : The Globe's maudlin and pitiful ap- peals -to American journals,' is scarcely less creditable than its ab- surd and vulgar defence of Arch- bishop Ch-ary . Both are sad illustra- tions of the extent to which paityism, in the sense of an indecent and in- sensate scramble for the power and pelf supposed to be connected with office, can degrade the press of even an elightcned and virtuous com- munity.'
