VioLa Cirvron’s Lady Minstrels gave their first performance before a Charlottetown audience last evening. Owing to the late arrival of the steamer from Pictou, which did not put in an appearance until eight o'clock, the (ompany had barely time to reach the Hall by the hour mentioned for opening, while it was altogether out of the question for them to attempt to put up any stage or seenic effects, consequently the Hall and the *‘Lady Minstrels” presented a bare appear- ance. The Company having performed under such great cdisadvantages, we feel that any extended critique would be premature on our part ; and as they will re-appear this evening we deem it necessary to defer a notice until we have had a more foverable opportunity of ob- serving and noting the numerous points pre- sented.

Wuirs Oars.—The Scotch white oats that were sown on the Stock Farm this year have turned out very well. They were, Mr. Bell informs us, sown on strong sod land early in May, about the 7th if we remember rightly, and a finer growth could not be wished for. ‘They were being cut on Thursday when we visited the farm. They were not dead ripe but the grain was well filled. Mr. Bell be- lieved they would yield at least a third more to the acre than the common black oats and irom ten to fifteen cents a bushel more can be had for them, they are much the more profit- able crop to raise. They, however require better land than our black oats. The straw was beautifully clear and bright. There was no sign of rust or blight on those that we saw 8 ing. Mr. Bell expects to get somewhere about fifty-s:x bushels to the acre from a sow- ing of about three and a half bushels. The oats were imported by William McGill, Esq., who deserves great credit for his exertions in
inging into the Province new and better kinds of grain and potatoes. The seed of the crop of oats that we saw growing on the Stock Farm weighed between forty-two and forty- three pounds to the bushel. We should say that the white oats grown from them will eome fully up to that weight.—Patriot.

Oneida Communists.
A few months ago a number of leading ministers of the State of New York organ- ized a crusade against the notorious Oneida community with the object of suppressing the practice of *‘complex marriage,” as the members somewhat euphemistically term their peculiar social relations. The outcome of the agitation has been the abandonment by the community of their obnoxious sys- tem. The ‘‘American Socialist,” official organ of the Association, publishes a letter from J. H. Noyes, the founder of the sys- tem, to the community, proposing that in deference to public sentiment, they relin- quish the practice, though not the belief in complex marriage, and place themselves ‘‘on Paul’s platform, which allows mar- riage but permits celibacy.” The commu- nity considered the propositions, and de- termined upon accepting them, and it is
announced. that hereafter the ergan- ization will censist of two distinct classes—one leading lives of strict celibacy, and the other composed
They will _ still retain the other communistic features, having their property, business and households in common. Under these con- ditions it will be very difficult to prove any relapse into their former practices of pro- miscuity, should the change in their mode of life, as is not improbable, be merely in- tended as a blind for the public. In the mean time, the ministers, and others, who have been so zealous in the movement for the suppression of the Oneida communists, will find plenty of werk of the same sort lying more directly under their hands and among a class who have not the compensa- ting virtues of thrift, honesty and industry with which the declared polygamist of Oneida are credited. It will be harder and less sensation than the campaign just terminated with flying colors. But if the men who have put themselves forward so prominently as champions of public moral- ity in this matter decline to undertake it on these grounds, they certainly lay themselves open to the suspicion of being actuated by a desire for cheap popularity rather than the higher motives professed.

Mexico has hardly been regarded as a possible rival to her northern neighbors on this continent in the production of wheat, being more associated in the public ind with tropical products and chronic -revo- lutions than with an industry almost con- fined to the temperate latitudes. An official dispatch from Col. Foster, United States Minister to Mexico, states that that Republic has a considerable area of lands very suitable to the production of wheat of good quality. It can be grown at an elevation of from 6,000 te 8,000 feet above the sea level wherever the land is sufficiently fertile. Though at present wheat bread is a luxury in Mexico, it might, under favor- able circumstances, be grown in sufficiently lyrge quantities to supply the home popu- lation. The cost of cultivation and of transportation are the two principal difli- culties in the way. The first of these is be- ing obviated by the introduction of Ameri- can machinery andimplements in place of the primitive Mexican methods of cultivation. ‘The Minister witnessed the trial of Ameri- can harvesters lately introduced, which were attended by special agents of the manufacturers, to note what changes might be necessary to adapt them to the Mexican market. ‘The trial proved a complete suc- cess, and Minister Foster regards it as significent of a change in Mexican methods of agriculture which will render wheat growing on a large scale an important in- dustry. Labor is lew, averaving 25 cents a day, with a small increase during the har- vest season, and the Government has placed duties upon foreign wheat and flour which are almost prohibitive, so that with im- proved methods of culture and harvesting Mexico is likely to rank among the wheat producing countries of the world.
