of town were also present. The offices of
'the company will _soon be' moved to the :.
building, a description of which .has al-
ready appeared in the NEW ERA, and the
travelling public will thenceforth use it;
while the building is a vast improvement
on the old one, a mistake has been made
in having the office; too. small. 1Seaforth':
station, which is identical with Clinton,:
was formally occupied last Thursday. A
car running out Of an open switch at

train- for an hour. Brakesmen are _now

STEALING A RtnE.-On Thursday last
while the train hands were unloading
car of way freight at the station here, that
had come from Wingbani, they Were .s ir-
prised to see tivo active negroes "rise up

a bolt for liberty. Theywere soon over-

being brought before the 11layor•,; charged
with stealing a ride; they gave Lve tlieii
names las William and Philip Smith, and

The Mayor had no option but to Pirie
them, which

SOut GRAIN.—Statements.. often ap-
pear in the nor'western papers 'about the
laage amount of grain marketed in some
of the new districts, but people forget that
there the places are fa_apart,_and grain
is hauled in from a large extent of country.
Considering that there are So many grain
markets in the conntry, we think the
amount annually bought here will coni -
pare very favorably with any other place.
As we are not in a position to give the
amount purchased. by all the buyers, so
far this season, we take Mr. Irwitl, as a
sample, and show what a single indivi-
dual has done. Since the fith' of Sept.
he has shipped front this stating about
120 cars of grain of all kinds,which would
average 460 _bushels of wheat to a car, 800
Of thttS and 700 of barley: This represents,•
a pretty large quantity of grain to handle
