Th e severity of the winter is being felt in England. The cold has not been so intense for many years. In Pall Mall and Piccadilly there are embankments of snow five feet high; in the country dis- tricts the roads are actually on a level with the hedges, while there are drifts fully fifteen feet deep in many places. The Thanies, above the bridges, is frozen over, and thousands of skaters are en- joying themselves upon its icy surface. In the poorer parte of London scarcely any drinkin4 water is procurable. Noth- ing like the present weather has been known since the great beet of 1814, when bullocks were roasted on the ice in the completely frozen -over Thames, London ran short of colds, and the Sol- way was frown over.

ACCIDENT.- last week, un Monday morning, Mr. Lochert of the Maitland concession, while engaged in chopping wood on the farm of Mr. Wm Wade, cut his foot very badly. The axe glanc- ed to one aide, and struck his toot just inside the instep, making an ugly wound about two inches and a half long, and one inch deep. He is improving slowly. The light spoken of in last week's issue of the Ilsoorti, and which takes place back of McGregor's farm, on the 6th concession of Goderich Township, can be distinctly seen from some parte of Colborne. It is supposed to be some gaseous eruption, but why it appears every other night is a mystery. A few years ago in the County of Waterloo, Ont., such puteous eruptions were quit• frequently disturbing the rest of a few nervous parties who resided there. On a close examination in the day time uothing, absolutely nothing, could be discovered. In some instances the gas would take wings as it were, and fly for end 4 mile, resembling all sorts of things and frightening hundreds. We suppose that the one spoken of above. is something similar. Some one else glee us their opinion on this subject. -[Com. Gc!)citele Mitrnect. - The members elect for the Township of Colborne met in the Township Hall, on Monday, 17th January.
