A Toes+inn of the Reform Assoc- iation of East Huron will be held at Wroxeter, on Tuesday, Febru- iery 9th, at 1 o'clock p.m. A large attendance is requested as busi- ness of importance will be trans- acted. THE Ontario Legislature was formally opened on Thursday of this week. A busy season is an- ticipated. AT the opening of the County Council last Tuesday, V. Ritz, Reeve of Stephen township, was chosen Warden. He was opposed by T. M. Kay, of Usborne town- ship. - JANUARY is about over and noth- ing has been done in reference to the formation of a Farmers' Insti- tute. Gatherings of this nature are being held all over the country and a very lively interest is being manifested in connection, and we think a visit from some ofthePro- fessors of the Agricultural College and some of our more noted agri- culturalists would enthuse the farmers of this section and result in an Institute being formed. There is 0310 thing certain without trying we will never succeed and if the farmers of this section of the country desire anything of this kind they ought to speak out and give expression to their opinion on this Scatter. Tar. defeat of Lord Salisbury's, Government by such a large ma- jority will have a tendency to draw the attention of the pubhc, more closely than ever, to the political situation of the mother country. The probabilities are that the Government will resign and the country may be thrown into the turmoil of another general election. It was generally thought that the Irish question would bethosticking point but that knotty problem had not come up for discussion. Parnell and his following hold the balance of power and as Parnell is a cool, level headed man he will not 0111 in with either party unless he sees that his project—self rule for Ire- land—is carried out, or somolegis- lation brought about to remedy the political situation of the Em- erald isle. MS'. Colling's amend- ment, on which the government was defeated, expresses regret that no lneaslc•e2 etre announced in the Queen's speech for the relief of the sufferers by the depression in trade and agriculture, particularly in re- gard to affording facilities to farm laborers, etc., for obtaining allot- ments of small holdings on equit- able terms as to rent and security of tenure. Wei hope the Directors of the Grey Branch Agricultural Society will not Ica the project of selling the old anr.icultural grounds and purchasing more: desirable prem- ises fall through. The majority of the Directors agree with the plan proposed and what is wanted is it united push to attain it.. The Listowel people are arranging to purchase 20 or 80 acres and will add new features to their Fall ex- hibitions and will have their show last for three days, in all probab- ility. Our Grey I3rancll Shows have been marked by a largo de- gree of prosperity and we want to see this continue. There is only one way, that is by securing com- modious grounds where modern arrangements can be made and where the novelties, used with such good effect at other places, can bo introduced. Why not have a committee appointed, at once, to wait upon the Caledonian Society, and other persons who may feel an interest iu the scheme, and get the ball rolling. There are energetic workers enough to carry this plan to a successful issue if those who are at the h end of affairs will give tho word "go." The success or failure of our shows in the future depends very largely on whether new features are introduced or not. The Provincial and Indus- trial )exhibitions will make a big- ger effort than ever to draw the people and the more people who attend these big gatherings will tell against smaller shows unless something out of the old rut is in- augurates Norris Council fleeting.
