Light Wanted at Boughton Island.

Siz,—It must appear plain to the least observant, and conspicuously evident to sea-faring men, that the Government ‘should, a8 soon a8 possible, place a light- house on the southeast point of Boughton Island, for, situated as it is— north of the entrance to Georgetown and Cardigan River, and lying out as the farthest head- land between East Point and Cape Bear; and, moreover, having two dangerous reefs on the outer side, stretching for a consider- able distance into the bay, it thus natural- ly demands that for greater security to life jand property, and for less apprehension and difficulty to navigation it should be guarded,

It is unnecessary to here mention the many accidents which have from time to time occurred here, and owing (it is alleged) to the absence of a light; and it is to be trusted that the Government will, although we are reluctantly represented by men who @re not in a position of influence more cal- culated to obtain our rights, establish this much needed improvement.

Yours, &c.,

Self-Help the Best Help. The American Agriculturist for January, contains the following which is well worthy of consideration :—

** State aid to agriculture is commendable when properly administered. We fear, how- ove, deal hiniia & ipeetnga ae common tendency to call for public appropriations for carrying on work which farmers shoatd do themselves. We see the same thing in the demand for the enactment of laws to regulate

A CowarpLy Act.—-Two weeks ago, says

a Greenville, Miss., despatch, Col. Paxton’'s

residence, near Arcala, was destroyed by fire.

Seven colored servants, five men and two wo-

men, were arrested. They confessed that the

cook drugged the coffee, and but for the fact

that two members of the family were absent

at supper time the whole household might

have perished The prisoners also confessed

that one stood at each door with an axe or gun

to kill any member of the family that tried

to escape, but the nearness of fire alarmed

them and they fled. The seven prisoners dis-

appeared somewhat mysterionsly on Monday night.

IMPROVEMENTS Out W est.—Victoria seems to have awakened to the fact that if she de- sires to maintain her supremacy as the com- mercial centre of the Province, she must in- augurate euch municipal improvementsas will enable her to keep up with, if not abreast of the times. Consequently import- ant measures looking towards this end are being set on foot. An electric street rail- way through different parts of the city and a complete sewerage system seem to be assured facts, and will do much towards her material advancement. Then she has lots of enter- prising and progressive citizens, let adverse critics say what they will, and her future looks pretty comfortable. At least that’s the way that it occurs to us.—Nanaimo, B. C. Courier.

keenly alive to to the fact that the National and State Governments owe an important duty to the agricultural interests, but we are aleo firmly convinced that farmers owe a duty to themselves. Self-help is always effectual.

What we learn by our own effort is always of more value to us and has a greater influence on the _ public walfare than similar knowledge ained through assistance from the State. t us

not run to the Legislature or to Congress un- til we have done our whole work as farmers and as citizens in behalf of desired reforms or improvements. State appropriations to agri- cultural societies, for instance, are of small value if the farmers who comprise these societiea do not take an ‘active interest in the

welfare of their organizations. Indeed, an independent society composed of active, earnest, public-spirited farmers generally

does far more for the promotion of agriculture than state-aided institutions. So, too, we find that those States where the Patrons of Husbandry are most progressive, that the farmers in th s organization are doing, through their own éfforts, a work which eclipses, in practical value, the generality of results at- tained through organizations that receive State aid. We must not permit favors from the public treasury to sap our individuality, earnestness or public spirit.”

School Examination and Concert.

Sir,—The semi-annual examination of the Annadale School took place at the achool-house on Monday, the 24th ult. There was a large number of visitors pres- ent, aleo a good attendance of pupils.

The examination was very interesting and keenly contested. The children ac- quitted themselves creditably; and reflect- ed great credit on their teacher, who has trained them up so thoroughly. Prizes were awarded by James Norton, Esq., to some of the best scholars.

On the 26th ult., a grand concert and literary entertainment was given by the school children aad others, which was a great success, ani shows great improve- ment and deveiopment in the youthful minds of those who took part in the coa- cert. The Executive Committee deserve great credit for their well-filled programme, consisting of both vocal and instrumental music, speeches, dialogues, and recitations. The songs by Mr. W. Nicholson, Mrs. Howlett and others, were excellent.

The Cheapest Growth.

The cheapest growth, says the American Agriculturist, is made on young animals. After the maturing period the cost of gain increases rapidly. If we double the time needed to grow o hog, about three- fourths of the food is used for maintenance, By doubling the time of feeding we halve the profit of feeding.
