They can be well spared if they' are • from

OFrrci.ti. VISIT.—On Monday afternoon
Messrs. Hobson and Steffi, officials .of the
Great Western Railway, visitedthis:place
to see about,making•some contemplated
changes at the station :here: •' Mr. Snider
hadpreviously expressedto them the .do•
sirability of lengthening one of the switches
and enlargieg_the waiting room and office
in the depot, in order to accommodate the
increasing traffic, and their visit was to
see what could be done • in the matter.
They did not coin,nit• themselves to the.
enlargement of the station for thepresent,,
but stated that some improvements would
be made in the yard room. The office is
by no means large, for. Mr. Snider and his
assistant,. Mr, Irwin•, and it 'Would cep'
tainly'be an advantage if the waiting room
was enlarged, because it is altogether too
small, sometimes travellers having to wait
outsider As the officials of this road
have always been very attentive to the
wants of the travelling public, and extend.
ed every possible facility thereto, we have
little doubt but that, ere long, they will
make the proposed improvements in thein
own as well as the public interest. The
Paymaster of the road made his periodical
visit 'on Tuesday, to sad gratification of
the eniployoes.j
PAssED AwAT.—We regret to notice

NI W-SAFn.—Mr. Manning has receit ed

Tile \cerium,_" As changeable as
the weather" is an expression, that has
longsince• become a proverb, and it is the
only expression• which fits the climate of
Canada, at certain seasons... On. Saturday
last the atmosphere was quite mild, rain
i and the probabilities indicating a
total suspension of sleighing. , During the
night. the. wind changed around, and on
Sunday blew a genuine nor -wester, ' the
thermometer going down to*zero at night
Monday was• blear and sharp. Tuesday
was somewhat moderate, and on Wednea=
day a snow storm set in. •.
IN n BAD Ftx.—A few nights. since as
Mr, A. S. Cox, traveller for T.'Metier-
wick, of London, was on his way to Blythe
the rear bob of his sleigh broke .while o
ing up the long hill. the other side of Lon
desboro, He had ona"heavy load ,ofcbie-
suits, etc.; and the horses were. unable to
pull the sleigh, in its broken condition, to
the top of the hill. As the vehicle was in
danger of upsetting, he took hold of one
corner, and heldit tip. Then he began to
realize the unpleasantness of his'position ;
the night.. was• bitterly cold, no one in
sight,rand.the nearest' farm house farther
away than his voiob would reach; to let
'go of the sleigh would be to 'capsize the
whole.: load, and 'his only• resort was to
hold on in hope of somebody coming`along
the road. After waiting what deemed, to
be an age, a 'man 'came along with an'
empty sleigh and teaiii, going the . same
'direction.. Mr,. Cox appealed to •him for
help', e p, but the man demurred, saying it was
too cold.Cox offered to pay hiin well if
e•would,only take. his load of biscuits to
Blyth. No, the fellow .would not do even,
that, and all requests for• assistance were
futile.' The'trave]ier, naturally indignant
at the.contcuiptiblo treatrnent•of the other,;
told him' that. '' if he could only lot go of.
his sleigh "fora moment, he'd try Biddulph
onaiim,"•but•this`hed rio . effect, and the
.unfortunate peddler was left shivering in
the cold. 'Soon• after,however," another:
man came along, and, Cox ".got hind •to go
to•a;farrnhouse, get the farmer to hitch
up hie team and take; his load into ..Blyth...
