Two new aeroplanes Lav* popped up this week, one iu Toronto and one in Stratford. Of coarse both macbines are going to be successes â€" can't help it, you know; but neither have yet made a flight. We will wait a Httle longer before placing our order, to see what fatarederelopementa may be. 000 A number of the strikers from Nova Scotia are leaving for the west to assist with the harvest. The trouble with Ihe present system of western harvest help appears to be in the poor dis- tribution, some districts Laving too many and others hunting for more. If 80 me better manner were found of distribution there would be less of the dissatisfaction that has been noticeable other years. 000 The Toronto city council is not one to be moved by trifles. This has been proved in the past repeatedly. It re- quired a disastrous fire to introduce fire engines and a ten-million dollar conflagration to install a high-pressure system. Last week's disastrous Are at the island was no trifle and demonstrated the need uf a modern fire tug, as many previous water front blazes had done. Doubtless, the council will now make the plunge and purchase one . 000 Bands out to the managers of Toronto's fair, who have seen fit to leave the beaten track and are omit- ting the usual "thriller." Last year's accident was followed by a revulsion of feeUng against the ads, and the managers have decided to omit the fool things this year. Manager Orr states that the nearest approach to the sensational will be a dog standing with one foot on his master's hand. We believe the managers are wise in their actions, and that the public will not regret the omission. 000 The peculiar antics of hotel keepers at law breaking, or to put it milder, "evasion of the law," are legion, but the latest comes from the boundary line between Quebec and the United S tates . An enterprising law-breaker opened a hotel immediately over the bouudiay line, and when his bar was inspected by Canadian authorities the booze was all iu Uuited States, and vice versa- The authorities got to- gether and both raided the place at the same time. The Canadian in- spectors made the seizure, and the hotel is "dry" now. 000 We wish every success to the lugersoU "Old Home Week," but they had better beware of using too much license. The scheme has been tried in other places, with good success, but not with good eiTeot. There were large crowds, but they were hilarious and carried it too far, as regards drinking, and disorderly conduct. Keports from Ingersoll give the hilarious side of it and it is up to the police iu that town to keep it in bounds, or another will bo added to the list of those places that say "never again." 000 A deepened prejudice against mov- ing picture shows will be cue result of last weeks fire at Uaulau'a Point, as the fire originated at such a place of entertainment. A little prejudice against the usual order of highly sensational and often degrading shows will be right iu order. It is a pity that better films are not uied. The common films are all similarâ€" a crime is committed and a chase ensues, in which the laugh is frequently on the pursuers. The Audience at a moving picture show is always largely composed of childr«Q who are not benefitted by such scenes. It would seem to me that the door of opportunity is open for anyone who will introduce good, educational and opliftiug films iu place of the usual debasing and demoralizing ones. If a better class of pictures were shown one would regret the prejudiceâ€" but nntil then let the places be fi owned down where these shows aro held. It is all very well for laboring men to fight for themselves and to secure t'leir rights iu the best way possible, if such are denied them. But it seems to me that wheu the strikers ate allowed to incouvieuce the public as has been done by the Fort William stri kc, and when it is necessary to shed blood.Jthat things have gone a little out of bounds. If a strike cannot be settled without blood shed there is something wrouj< with the system, and it can generally be attributed to un- reasonableness. It is not my intention to say who is in the wrong, but the matter should and could be settled amicably by a little submission on the part of both the men aud the company. Since writing the above I am glad to note that the strikers have got their backs down a little, aud that the G.P.K. has also conceded a trifle â€" and that the opposing factions will arbi- trate, and the matter will probably bo closed without further blood-shed.* 000 The Rural High School at Flesher- ton, referred to in another column, is a pioneer institution of its kind in OntJtrio, and much credit is due to the foresighted people of Artemesia who 80 heartily fell into accord with the scheme. Nowhere else in the province have there been found four school sections with sufficient enter- prise to embark in the new scheme, as they did here. The up-to-date Artemcsia people who so readily grasped the opportunity, stand as examples to the rest of the province, and an example which will speedily be followed. At first there were numer- ous doubters, but as the scheme became better understood, aud the liberality of the Whitney government (in the matter of grants) appreciated, opposition wavered and gave way, so that to-day we have here the nucleus of a modern high school, with every prospect of rapid and healthy devel- opemeut. The trustees entrusted with the enterprise are far-seeing gentlemen and can be trusted to do what they consider best for the cause, aud their judgment may be relied upon. Here's success to the new institution! â€" S. Our Scrap Book « Grey's First County Council. Tlie first County Council, for the County of Grey, which was a provisionnl council, met nt tlio rcsidenco of Jimios Coleman in the town of Syilenhani (now Owen Sound) on April 15, 1852, pursuant to II pnicliimiition from His Excellency the Itiylit Hoiiornhlo the Eiirl of Elgin (intl Kincrtriline. Tlio Council wivs com- posed uf eleven membere luid was called and a warrant issued to George .John Grange, Es(|. Thomas Lunn, Esc|uiro, Reeve of the Township of Sydenham, having taken the Chair, proceeded to read a warrant from George JohnGraiige, Esquire, appuhiting him to preside at the first meeting of the said Provisional Council ; and having done so, called upon the muml>ors present to iioniinato a Provisional Warden. The members present-Messrs. Lunn, Jackson, McNabb, Carney, Grey, Allen, Smith, Uoliertson, Beachell, Jones and Pringlo. Mr. McNabb moved, seconded bji Mr. Smitli, tliat George Jackson, Es(i., be Provisional Warden of the County of Grey.â€" Lost. Moved by Mr. Carney, seconded by Mr. Allen, in amendment, that James Beachell he Provisional Warden of the Provisional County of Grey. â€" Can-ied. James Beachell there- upon took the oath of'oftice before TlioniftH Lunn, E8(]., and his seat as Provisional Warden, and cfkUed upon the Council to elect a Provisional Clerk. James Gale received the appointment ef Clerk, and Thomas Gordon Treasurer. The sUmding rules of the council of the County of Waterloo were adopted in so far as they were applicable to a Pro- visional Council. The Provisional Council met three times during the summer of 1862, the business Vteing the selecting of sites for county Imildings and adjusting finances l>etween the counties of Grey and Siinooo, In connection with this it might be of interest to note that Elias B. Grey, a member of the above council, built the first residence iu Flosherton, a log house. He was elected to the provisional council by three votes, all that there were. It is said of Mr. Grey that in the early days he sent a man out to collect a dollar from every pioneer aa^ taxes, al- though there was no assessment at that time, and ho collected the dollar, too. Mr. Thoi-j) Wright's father was the man who did the collecting. An American sheriff threatens to arrest aeroplanista who exceed 20 miles, 1 the speed limit for automobiles.

The County council of the county of Grey is perhaps the niosc economical institution iu the world. Tho County constables are required to chase tramps and other unfortunates away, rathor than to put them in jail. This plan saves ipiite a lot. Now they have in- structed the keeper of the House of Refuge to give the inmates skim milk, on their breid, instead of the whole ar- ticle, and say it is good enough for they have tried it thnmaelves Cream will make butter, and it is either a case of no cream on their poiridge or no butter on their bread. â€" Walkerton Telescope. An Italian banana man from Shelburne came to Dundalk Thursday of last week and disposed cf some fruit to the dealers. He afterwards sold some at private hous- es and Chief Hemphill was soon on his tracks. For peddling without the prop- er credentials Squire McGregor, P.M., imposed a penalty of 820 and costs, amounting in all to 823.70. The foreign- er dil'nt know the law here, aud what he learned on Thursday he considers rather expensive knowledge. It was high-priced all right. â€" Herald. A particularly sad fatality oocuired at the farm of Thos, Eraser, con. 8, Proton, Tuesday afternoon. The little son Wil- bert was assisting in haying operations and in driving down the lane with a horse attached to a hay rake without breoohing straps, the rake is supposed to have run onto tho horses heels causing a run-away. In going through a gateway the rake struck a post aud the little fellow was thrown off and was injured iu the back. The grief-fctricken parents have the heartfelt sympathy of all in their sore aiHiotion. The funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon at two o'clock to Ventry cemetery,â€" Herald, Magisterial Decisions.
