We have before us an old minute book. of what we. hum reason to bo- licvo is the first organized Agricultur- al Society in the then province of' Upper Canada. When the scorotnny- shipof tho Brockvillo Electoral Dis- trict Agricultural Society passed into the hands of the present incumbent, B. LOVGI'lD, all the books and papers of the society were transferred to his keeping, and in soartilting for the old records the minute m, only went back to Jam. 20th, 1858, and all oil'- orts to trace the operations of the agricultural society previous to that date were nnovailing. A few weeks ago while some workmen were enga- ged in pulling down an old building [in the rear of G. T. Fulford’s drug store they came across a vault in which were a. lot of old books and papers, and amongst them the minute book above referred t0. As this is without «ionbt the only authentic history of the operations of the early agriculturists 01' this district, and as many of the names given and inciden- ts related will no doubt prove interes- ting to our readers, as forming a con- neeting link between the early settle- ment ol'thiu county and the present, we have decided to briefly give same of the mast prominent facts. Going back to the old record we find that on the 12th day of May, 1830, a number of the farmers of the old Juhnstowu district men at tho res- idence of Mr. Titus in Elizalmthtowu, and anointed Capt. Joseph Wiltse as V chairman and Fiorencq Mel/arthy secretary. It. would appear from cer. tain resolutions passed at that. meeting that, the Legislature had, at a session hold a few months before, passed an Act making a grant for the enconrngv- ment of Agricultural seeictiea, and :from the tone of the resolutions there ‘adoptod we are led to believe that the persons assembled at that meeting Were the first. to take advantage of the proposed grant, and they then OLD RECORDS BROUGHT 1'0 LIGHT. and §hc§c orgziinizcd the District Johnatown Agricultural Spcictrx. subscxiption list was Opened and the sum of £48 103 6d subscribed on the spot.

A number of our young men have boon rusticating at Charleston Lake for a wool: or two. and according to all accounts have bid a. glorious time fishing, sloopingmoking and fightingâ€"â€" blue toiled flies and moaquitoos.’1‘hc stories they tell about. the quantity and size of the fish are something wonderful. It is said that one morning last week a party of the young men referred to get up very early. am} “after putting themselves outside a, light breakfast, started for the fishing ground, first eneasing their heads in cowboy hats, their shapely nethors in knickerboekers and their feet in canvas pumps. which with blue flannel shirts trimmed with pockets constituted their a (a Charles- ton suits. The morning was perfect lâ€"golden with sunshine sifting through .the scattered, fleecy clouds as through Y!!! nmanu O!‘ mannuon. ‘v-w â€"v_--v_ a. veil of lawn; a. wanton wind wrinkling the burnished surface of the lake. On such a day the angler may hope for sport and be confident of seeing and feeling black flies. The Charleston block fly is smaller than the bull frog, but has the advent age of being able to bite with both ends. and while feeding simultaneously ‘ works six pairs of tieklers with his‘ legs, Some spm men prefer the bite to the tickle; [in our boys say it is a» matter of individual fancy. Both may be enjoyed at the same time. Charleston black flies prefer to get in {their finest work just almft of the ear, iand any one of our frienda’ ears afford- ed ample accommodation for about seven dozen, with standing room for us many more. These black flies take exactly three seconds to raise a lump that will last seven days. Justus Smith, the champion oars. man of the lake, said to our reporter the other day that there wasn’t a single black fly in the neighborhood of the lake. This was strictly true. The black flies at Charleston are all mar- riml. They are born, married and be- come great-grandfathers in nine hours. But to return. Our heroes started out detemnined to capture enough of the tinny denizens of the lake to pro- ‘vision the guests at the Duflield house on the Glorious Twelfth. Silently and with muffled oars they made ‘their way across the Big Water in the direc- tion of the Hog's Back. No sigh breathed 'from the branches of the pines, and the humming of the bees could be heardmo deep was the silence. ' A heron, austere and stately, flapped‘ heavily as he settled lazily in a little bay, and stood contemplatively watch- ing the passing skiff“ A. little yellow and white butterfly floated across the reeds, and a kingly salmon leapedand gathered him in. Silently the anchor was let down in proximity to this spot, and the lines were quickly dropped into the water. The silence was en broken for the space of four minutes, save once when the mathematical mas- ter fetched his car a swipe by which four dozen promising black flies and nine industrious gallinippers came to a. miserable end. Again a, hush. Ani activc‘ 111iddlo-agcd worm was woven on the fresco painter’s hook and lower- ed to a watery grave. Two hours crept by in the blaze of that July day. A faint wind stirs the lazy leaves, .nud ripples roll arcamily shorowdrds, to tinkle among the wave-worn pebbles. A mud hen careens over the flood from afar. floats downward and aliglxts. A fresh brigade of @ch flies makps f. Building ‘ {out in store. The fish was divided in lmlvon and placed on the plates.

The following account, cepied from the Morrislmrg Herald, of the silver wedding that took place reconuy at. the residence of Dr. Chamberlain, M.P.P.. wil! be read with interest by a largo number of our readers. Farr mersville has the honor of claiming the doctor as one of her sons. and when the people gather to do honor to such a one it is fitting that she should feel proud of the event;â€" _.- .‘ It may seem strange to dried up old bachelors or crahlmd old maids, but it is nevertheless a fact thdt the longer a. properly muted pair of lnnnztn beings enjoy the society of each other the hex-pier they beconle. The very happy gathering that took place at the real. dence of Dr. Chmnberluin. M.l’.1’., on Wednenlny evening last, being the 25th anniversary of the marriage of the happy couple, attests the truth of the statement above made. The beautiful grounds surrounding the residence looked like a fairy scene, decorated with Chinese lanterns &e., which made the place resemble a iyoun -, though well developed garden lof laden. As the richly attired guests promenaded around the. lawn to the soul btirring strains of the Morrinburg brass band. the scene was one of more than ordinary enuhnntment. The good things which, though a. unrprisu to an editor's internal orgnnimtion, are always relishel, were served with :n’lmimhlv taste on a portion of tlm lawn enclosed for the purpose, and Were discussed with greet zenl hy the numerous guests gathered to do honor to Mr. and Mrs. Clmmherlnin.
