. A NEW FENCE. —Mr. W. 13, McLean,
this town, has invented, and has had paten
ed, a new wire and iron fence, which is de
tined to become popular, as it is simple, ea
By eonstruoted, cheap and durable. T
principal advantages over other fences
that it is constructed with iron or ste
posts. These posts are so constructed ph
the wires are held in their place by a ratch
in front of the post, which opens and cloa
like the blade of.a knife, and is held in i a
place by. a spring pin. This attachment oa
be taken out" so as to admit or alter t e
wires in a minute, while the wires are so a
ranged on the posts, or held to them, as ,n t
to interfere with the contraction and expa ,
sion occasioned by heat and cold. The co
ner posts, a so,on which the principal strai
comes, are, by a very simple contrivanc o
made so secure that sagging or giving is i
poasible. The posts can be used with an
kind of veil*, either plain, barbed or we o
and the fence can te taken down, if desire.,
easily and cheaplyeand without injuring it,
iu the slightest. .The posts are also so mad
as to be per ectly rust proof. The aclvan
ages of this ence: are, first, its cheapnes
being about half,_ the cost of an ordinar •
wire and pot fence, while it is much mor
durable ; is fire and decay proof, and can b
reinoved without. injury, while it presento
better appe ranee than the ordinary fence
It can be us el in any place, and is admir
ably adapte for prairie countries, as well a
for this dist ict. It is the best thing of th
use. We hope Mr. McLean will make hi
kind we hay seen in fences, and will, w
have no dou t, very soon come into genera
• pile out of it, as he , certainly deserves to
It should be seen for, its advantages to bil,
appreciated, as no deecription on paper ea
do it justice. •

THE LATE JAMES :NI c(iA RTN EY. —We

of Mr. Hugh McCartuey, of Brucefielcl, Mre
John McCar ney, of Grey, and Mr. Robert

Monday mor ing he complained of being

serious was wrong, and called her youngest

could get to the house his father had breath-.

Thi at ction, it seems te us, is not

with other harmful in uences. If this

should say woul be p rfectly proper to
