Chamberlain. At noon a bountifnl supply of good things was served all the membersandguests, af ter which the men strolled out of doors and viewed the poultry, garden and orchard, while the ladies prinied up for the meeting, which was soon called to order by the president. Fortwo hours questions most important to the fanners„at this time of tlie year were discussed. Theu a little time was given to the discussion of the merits and demeiits of the Agricultural College. It was the feeling amoug speakers that if the college is not doing all it ought for the farmer, not to give it up, but to probe it on to its fullest amount of good. Altogether the meeting was a success. The next meeting will be held at William Ball's the first Saturday in June. The topic for that meeting is, "'Shall we have the Income TaxV:' Mr. Cooley Iteeves, of Dexter, will take the afflrmative, and Mr. Amos Phelps the negative, in the discussion. A lively time is expected, as usual.
