" Three of li^ riTers of Leelaod, tbe ' Barrow the Nove and the Snir, afcfr " devions cunrses through Talteys nn- " sorpassed in beaaty and tertility in "any country whsre sununers are " green and luirvests yellow, nnite " togethei: and form the yitst breadUi ' of water that sweeps tqajestieally to " the sea abreast of Waterford. It " advances to Tipperary, we go " westward, taking the riv«r which " branches on the left, the Uoir if " gcing eastward or north-east into " the county of Carlow, enjoying by " the way the borders ot Wexford and ' and Kilkenny, W9 keep to the right- " hand river, the Barrow, and if " advancing into the heart of Kilkenny, " we take Uie banks of the Nove. "The Nove is a river of clear watej-, " of a size siuiiar to the tweed at " KbIbo, the Clyde at Glasgow, the " Thanies alOxford.the Trent at New- " ark. In condnctivg the reader up " the Nove, I will not waste his time ' further than to let him see that h$ " is iu Ireland. If we look only at " the noble trees which overshadow " the road and occasionaly conceal the " river and again at the gentle " eminences, now wooded, now crown- " ed with corn, luxuriant and green, â€" ** eminencos that give beauty and " variety to our journey, we see what " is ncet with m the river valleys of " England, and which, when seen in " England, call forth as many praises '• and visitors. Looking narrowly* at' "the soil and its products, we may I " eoncludd wo are iu Britain save, " i»deed, tha/t the fertility o^ soil and " th^; luxuriance of crops surpass what " we have hithertoo seen, except in " the finest districts of Scotland or " Eengland. It is " already evident that m beauty and " vanety of landscape, fertility of soil, " and luxuriance of crops, there isj " everything to be pleased with. But " amid this beauty and fertelity, there " is what there never was in any other " country of the world. How is it " that we see a field of eight or ten " acres, or sometimes three or four " fields together of as many acres " each, lying without a crop save the " rank weeds, while others around are "cultivated and full of beautiful " promise for the coming haryest "How is it that we see houses in "ruins, the substantial stone walls ' (for here are no mud cabins, all are " good stone-and-mortar houses) â€" "how is it that these are roofless and " deserted, while the stooe and mortar "of the walls tell that decay had "never taken hold of them, that their " age was not more than from twelve " to twenty ye«rs.? How is it that t^^in " some uook of the road, under shelter "of a tree or beneath a hedge, a " family of six or seven or more per- " sons, from the aged grandmother to " the sucking infant, are sittisg " houseless and hopless, and yet " within half an hour's journey of the " spot where they were bom, and of " land a lease of which was ^eir legal " inheritance Why do we meet on " every, mile of road constables with " carbines, bayonets,; and ball-eartri- " dge How is it, that, with so much " mineral wealth, Kilkenny has no " tradiiig communication with the "sea, â€" neither by river, which is " navigable half way between the " town and Waterford, nor by canal, *- nor by railway? {^ow there is a " railway to Waterford.) Why, m a '•district so rich above ground and " bqluw, occupying one of the finest "positions ^ey bocupied by an inland " town, has Eilkwiny no trade Why " do able4d3ied men assemble each " mozxiing by sonzise from the country " many milee^roimA, in the market " place, to tiie number of hundreds, " and go home again imem^oj«d and • penniless and hongry, tmagli w2I« " ing and eager to work at sii^eiioe* " day f Why .the etoeeli ZMooi ** fnth the hoMetmm^uad mam* **ei foliMÂ¥A»«hlmid(i^«j^ ihi honseeliintifiedfMr.koi^ that the **barridn eaanot ecmiam, and the " barraeks loop-hoied for defence, and "provided with ammcnrtion and " stores as if for a sie^e f Let some "reomt oeearrenees of agrarian ** outrage" rej^y. 'Patciek Brag of Bonnet's Bridge "held three small fields,about eid^teen " acres. He had a lease of thirty-one " years and bis own hfe. He succeed- " ed his iatber in the oeenpaoer of • the rm, who had been on the estate "many years. Bmg's motiier, an » aged woman, bordering on eighty, ** was bom on the farm so long held «• by Her husband and son. Thus there " was a stioBg attachment to the plae« " Previous TO the accessipn of the pre- " sent landlord, m 1839-40, they had " been on the best of terms with those "to whom they paid; their rent; " and having the land at' a moderate •* rate, they had never fallen into ' ' arrears. Bnt the ejection of Patrick " Biug and many mure was resolved " upon, "As iie owed no rent, and no possible " reason for getting rid of him as a " tenant could be assigned, nor was " ever offered until long after proceed- " ings had begun,* a bold stroke was ** requisite, and was struck. The " lease specified a certain day in May " and in November as that on which " the half-yearly rent became due. " Those days had been strictly adhered " to, and no one knew this Letter than " the landlord. But iu 1841 he ob- " tained a warrant of distraint, and " seized on Bing on the 6th of March " for rentalleged to be due on the 25 th. " It might have been a hard enough " misfortuue to be distrained ou "the 'day following that of the " rent being due iu any case, especially " in spring, when the cattle and "implements of labor, as also the " seed-corn and potatoes, the articles "distrained, were required for the "duties of seed time. But when such " a^stramt was made ou sueh.articles " so indispensable^ in their • usea ,6veu " for a day,^to say nothiiig of weeks, " and no refit nor debt of any I kind " owing, the case was peculiarly a hard " one;. â- . i • "Bing entered a replevin with the "sheriff, that is, gave security that he " would pay tko rent, if rent were due, " as soon as a trial sit quarter- session "or 'assizes could be had, that- he " might in the meantime get the use " of the ' property upon which ' the " distraint lay. At the trial he proved " by his lease that he owed h'otbang, â€" "that no rent was dew until tMay But " before that was done, May had com- " menced, the rent was due. He " paid it punctublly, and proceeded " against tiie^ landlord for damages, " or rather fsr the costs to which he " had been exposed at the trial. This, "being opposed occupied much " time and before it was " settled the landlord once more "^strained for rent, alleged to "be due on the 29th of September. " Again Bine repleviued, and proved " his reut day to be i n November and " May and not in September and " March. The cap.e of ihe costs and " second trespss?. camo to trial in " respect of both a jury and a jndge " had certified trrice by their decision " that the teuan t was right and tiie " landlord wrong. "The damaf;es awarded were very " moderate, £12 uid costs; bat ihs " tenant looked on theverdiot as chiefly " important in setting as he thought, "the validity of his lease aind the " period of bu, rent days at rest. That " tibe damages were too moderate as " regardec^ the landlord was manifest " from the fact that he again distrain- " ed in March for rent not dne until " May. /He now, it being seed time ** took a more effectual way of crif^lmi " tt:eftenant than before. He S9^SM[ " on th^farm property, of whi^ tile " manureipile was m his eyes the " most important..

BBPOBT ON HOBTIOULTUBK. To the Worthy Master and Members as sembled in Grey Division Grange Your Committee on Hortioulticre beg to report as follows 1st, that they cannot do better than reiterate their report of July last, especially as to the pleasure and profit of small fruit culture. With our climate so well adapted for fruit culture there is no reason why any patron should not have abundance of small fruit from January to December in the summer m their natural form in the wmter either in the form of canned or evapor-. ated frtut. It must be borne in mind that it is not necessary in preserving small fruit to use a veiy considerable quantity of sugar. Nearly all our small fruits may be dried or sealed up from the air and thus preserved for years. Your 3ommittee would recom- mend that any patron who has not. already planted small fruits to do so. Your committee looks forward to the establishment of ' canning factories in our towns and villages which will give a great impetus to small fruit growing â€" an occupation at onee lights profit- able and pleasant. To be Roccesefal in fruit growing, a careful selection of yarieties is abscAutely necessary, and SO" much depttods on this, that na planter shoi^d ever depend on agents recommendations, as many agents and dealers m nursery ^tock have very limited experience as growers. Every planter should consult experienced growers in his own locality, or as near it as possible. Then plant add culti- vate well, especially for a few years. He should prune himself, as eyeu though he may have limited experience he can always prune l»etter th%u his cows can. Your committee are pleasel to be able to rCpart the growing favor of our fine hardy Golden Basset in the European mfu^t. Last fall tho average price -of â-  Canadian -Golden Bassets was fully five shillitigs ster- ling per barrel more than other winter varieties, and dealers in England informed your committee that tue market cannot be gluted with Golden Bassets. Indeed Canadi/Ui applea are Ux vaxae popular and command higher prioeein Britain than tiuxse grown in any other country.
