Saturday and Sunday last were two af the coldest and most stormy days -we have experienced - for several years. The country roads which. have been so good during the early part of winter are now in many pieces badly drifted. We understand, however, that sonth. of this, and near the lake, there is yet very little snow,_ barely enough to Make sleighing. Dar- in, the whole of last week farmers from the direction -named were, taming to ttown with wagons., ,There i now, how- ever, in that quarter a little snow, but not enough to make good sleighing. The snow increasers in depth towards the north. There is a much greater depth in the neighborhood of Wroxeter, and the roads are much more drifted than they are in this vicinity.

There is a good sum in the hands of the Treasurer to the credit Of _the Society, and: a considerable list of new merabere to commence the new year with, and notwithstandiug the fact that a heavy expenditure had been incurred last year in enlarging and fenc- ing the show around, the liabilities of the Society are gradually diminishing.. It is the intention during the coming sea- son to erect a large addition to the pres- ent building, which will afford largely increased accommodation for exhibitors, and which will materially assist' to ren- der the coming exhibitions mcire success- ful and -attractive than those which have hitherto been held. 0 THREE years ago I purchased a Flor- ence Sewing Machine, which has been used ever since at all kinds of work:* It has given the best - satisfaction.

The wood was beech and maple, and the time taken to perform the work was cer- tainly very short, and we dare say there are few that could accomplish such a task. If -we had a few more like these in our district, sawing machines would be at a discount,- and, probably, the price of fuel might be diminished.

The first annual show of agricultural implements under the auspices of the Huron Farmers' and Mechanics' Associa- tion was held at Brucefield on Monday, 7th inst. The day was pleasant, and brought out alargo number of onlookers, especially of the genus knoWn as ma- chine men. The merits of the several machines were duly discussed, particu- larly the straw cutters, some holding that they were invaluable, others charac- terizing thein as litunbugs, as straw is straw whether cut or uncut. In some respects.the show was poorly sustained, several departments not having an ex- hibitor. The following is a list of ma- chines on the ground shown by Mr. Maxwell, Paris, Mr. 0. 04 Willson, agent : 1st. A neat farmer's sawing machine for four horses, much admired, said to cut from 25 to 40 cords per clay. 2d. A power straw cutter, with. revers- ible feed, length of mit under control of operator while in motion. These new -features do away with the last objection urged against power cutters. 3d. A hand. straw cutter. Shown by Thomson & Williams, Mr: Jaines Oke, agent. lst. A grain crusher of the usual pattern, substantially got up, which did its work well. 2d. A power straw eater. also well built, but lacking the new features of the Maxwell. 3d. A hand'straw cut- ter. Shown by J. Elliott, London, Jas. Corton, agent. 1st. A hand straw cut- ter, newly- patented, which was quite a favorite with the crowd, but found no favor with the judges. It VMS sold on the :ground. Mr. Whiteley., of Paris, and Mr. Forsyth, of Dundas, had ea& a power straw' cutter on the groan , but retired from the contest after seeing Mr. i Maxwell's machine at work. Mr. Max- i well was awarded the first prize in both :\ classes. Thomson & Williams tecondl prize in both classes. Of sewing ma- chines there were onlylour entries, Mr. Norsworthy, Clinton, entered a Grover 1 & Baker manufacturing machine. Mr. l Millar, Brucefield, showed a manufactur- ing Warmer. Mr. Cameron,_ Brucefielcl, a Webster family -machine. The Wanzer and the Osborne were declared the win- ners, the Osborne being very highly recommended• as a family machine. Wisner & Bro., Brantford, showed an improved seed &till, with an ingenious contrivance, patented, called a shifter, which enables the operator to throw every alternate tooth six inches ahead of the others while the team is in motion. This is an advantage in rough, soddy land. They also exhibited a patent seed run, said to render impossible the breaking of seed passing through, thus overcoming a great objection to the seed drill. The judges were W. Bell, 13. Smillie. J. Ross, Jas. Logan and Jas. Londesborough. _ ,.... Winigham.

Poamts.—A large.. and varicd as- sembly met to hear Mr. VanNorman hold forth on his " sentiments " in Gof- ton's Hall 'last Monday night. As this was his first meeting in Howick a large crowd, composed. principally of his own supporters, collected from all parts of the township of Howick: The meeting elected. Mr. Henry Perkins to the chair, and great credit is due to that gentleman for the impartiality he showed to the candidates, and the good hearing he obtained for both. Mr. VanNorma,n spoke first, and in a long harangue en- deav red in many ways to prove the ex - atray ance and incapacity of the Ontario GoAernment. He dwelt greatly on the Agri4ultural College " scandal," the Canada Central Railway, the Central Prisdn, .&c. With regard. to the Central Priseki, Mr. VanNorman stated that Mr. Elliot, his father-in-law, has a just claim of V0,000 - against the Government, which he, Mr. VanNorman, had no doubt hal been paid at the mo- ment he was now speaking. He wound up by -saying that he was not z a rabid partian, but that he was a mod- erate Reformer, and. that if elected he would support good measures, no matter from what quarter they came. Mr. Gib- son. then spoke, and in an able manner (OPPOSITE THE MARKET. i AT HOFFMAN BROTHERS' CHEAP CASH STORE, SEAFORTH.

Mr. Gibson dwelt at leregth on the Orange question, and ex- plained why he recorded his vote against the Incorporation Bill. As Mr. Van Norman felt indisposed or unable to re- ply, he called on Mr. Farrow, M.- P., who, in his usual rambling and meaning- less style, harangued the crowd at great length. He began by glorifying that fallen hero, Sir John, and played a won- derful tune on the fence round. the Par- liament buildings, until the audience got tired. and were leaving gradually. The remainder gave three cheers for the Queen, the Chain -an and Mr. Van Nor- man, ancl the proceedings then terrai-nated. —On Wednesday afternoon, Hugh Ferguson, a farmer near Amberly. Coun- ty Huron, was returning home from the village ,on horseback, when the horse stumbled and threw him on his head on the hard frozen road. The blood flowed from his ears, nose, and mouth, and im- mediate aid was sent for, but it was of no avail. He died next morning. —A fatal docident happened to a man a few days ago, by the name of J. floss -ie. It appears he was employed as sawyer in Snyder's saw mill, situated on the town line between Maryborough and Mornington, and by some means caught him by the smock, throwing him acioss the log, cutting one lee-t'off below the knee, the other above the knee, his body was then drawn across the log, the saw passing clear through and throwing all that was left of him out of the mill over forty feet. What makes the matter -more painful, he had only been married about two months, and when his wife was informed of the accident her feelings were beyond description. She has the heartfelt sympathy of the neighborhood --The lichborne claimant is to be em- ployed as a tailor, and is to finish his sentence at Dartmoor.
