So many of these wise men are coming forward throughout the country that it is im- possible to keep track of them. The auusually mild weather of the past two mouths has made the weather prophets sprout like a second crop of laspberrics aud apple blossoms. practical contrivance of this kind, if, tlie moclmnical geniuses would apply , tliemgelves to ilio question. An in-- vcntor of a safeguard of this nature would not only be a benefactor of mankind but would reap an enormous pecuniary reward. Tlie session of Dominion Parliament which opens on Jan. 20 will not be so strenuous as the last, when the pre- liminary skirmish to the elections was on. As a bit of information that is now widely known, wc migiit mention the fact that neither the preliminary skirmish nor the battle proper were successful in dislodging the entrenched enemy at Ottawa. It is the custom now a-days for those desiiiug honorary oilicep, such as the Waidenship for inbtance, to got out and pull wires in order to make Xhe position sure, and we frequently 309 in our eschant^es snch statements \s this: "fleevp Blank was in town loaking after the Wardenship." Does it ever strike these gentlemen that the bonor, when secured in this manner, is a very small one indeed? It docs not require any great ability to pull wires or canvas for votes, and the man who does these things knocks off a big percentage of the honor pertaining rightfully to sacb a position if ho is •uccessful. The East Grey Agricultural Society baa undergone quite a thorough re-i organization and considerable new blood has been added to the director- ate. If all those who should be in- terested will second the efforts of the new board a degree of life will be instilled into the society that will be a matter of surpriite to outsiders. The new board takes hold with the one objeci of making the East Grey fair the best in the county. Tbcir aim is high, bat a worthy one, ; and we (rust their hopes and desires will be realized. Let every citizen of tbs place, at least, lend a band towards this end and the result will nndoabl- «dly bo satisfactory. Tbe terrible level eroising fatality at Grimsby, in which five persons lost tbeir livei, has stirred this country from end to end with the horror of it, and tbe level crossing is again coming ia for some bard knocks. Among the inventive geniuses of this country sorely some one can be found who will invent an automatic gate that would effectually close a crossing on (be approach of a train.
