Dwtaut from L melon a little more than twenty mites. a?IATlUtD was reached about scone o'clock, where . we were to cheep oars. A short delay eaperieeoad here was devoted to luukiug about us. This town is a great railway caste*, it being the timeliest off the Buf- falo. and Godertoh brands of the Grand Trunk with the Loudon and St. Mary's Ione, and also the Port Dever and Laine Hansa Railway. Good water -power is is one the attractions that should induce manufacturers to locate here, while the railroad facilities wake Stratford espec- ially desirable as • field for industry in the paanufa.Wrutg leu. Aad yet this old town dies not seem to do credit to its privileges. Perhaps had Stratford but a lake pert it would give • better ac- count of itself. This observation is sug- gested by a conversation overheard while on the train. A Goderich and a Stratford gentleman were arguing the re- spective merits of their own towns, and aft. heariud these detailed {t some led h I came to'the conclusion that had" Goderich fa.;ilitits Stratford possesses it would soon outstrip her, while had Stratford the advantages that belong to Goderich the tables would be turned. This wuthe app•rentconclusiun that the aforesaid gentlemen arrivedatooncenaing his own to -n. I was iuformedthatStrat- • ford's present population was suwewhere inithe neighborhood of 9,000, but anyes- tlmate must nucasaerly allow for the tluctuatio-: that appertains to all railway towns, the headquarters of men employ- ep on the line. mrretiELL, talAlOkTH, AND t'LINTON, floriahing towns alone the line, were called at, but inset forbear saying any- thing about them here and hurry un with the train arriving AT connotes at Riau* 4130. This town, laid nut somewhat after the manner of the city of Washington, it is said, is worthy of notice in this regard. The municipal and peace headquarters—Town Hall, Court House, do., (the jail being locat- ed at the outakirts of the town)—are combined in one handsome structure and situate on public grounds called "the square" from which, as the spokes from the hub of waggon wheel, the streets branch off. in all directions—necessarily at angles, to be sum, but with such re- gularity that the symmetry of the town is in no way jeopardized by this pecu- larity. Each and every street leads to the Square. The advantage to be deriv- ed from this arrangement of the town's thoroughfares at once became apparent. Let us look at it for one element (rem business point of view, aside from its symmetrical Stipect. A farmer wuhes to go to town with a load of produce. He drives directly to the Square, disposes of his Marketable commuditiea,whatever they may be, and he now has some pur- chases to make for his household and gl- ee the farm. He he finds all the bus- iness places within sight, facino the Square, and he due* not require to travel any distance to do his shopping ; so great saving of valuable time is thus affected. The street surrounding the Square is a wide one and affords ample aceommtdation fur the traffic on the market days. Aa excellent trade is carried on with the aurroundinp country but more especially as A +ALT }tEra,)N that the name of Goderich has become famous. Goderich salt ie know): far and wide to be the very best for the purpo- sea designed. The ..,t salt spring struck in Goderich waa fund in this wive • -- Some parties had discovered what they thought to be evidences of the ecistence of petroleum in the earth, air rather rock, and had bred down a considera- ble depth for that fluid, when enddenly he drill struck a spring of brim, which upon being tested was found to ontain salt in abundantly paying quantities. A company was at once formed, the neces- sary apparatus was procured, and the work proceeded with. Other companies were formed and researches begun in this and other Localities, meeting with great encouragement. The whole region was found to be full of salt. Salt blocks were reared in every direction. From Goderich to Kincardine the sole enbross- ing subject of coeveraatien was salt. At first good dividends were realized upon the capital invested, but orer•competi- tion soon wrought havoc with the prices and salt fell to a/moost nothing in value, causing a great many to cease operations and entailing no small loss of time and money. But there appetite to be no end to the brine, for the first w.•il sunk in fleeerich is yet in operation and at the Present time yieldine salt in paying quantities.

This was the inviting unction *ought to have prevalent among the young peo- fple attending a picnic held in • beauti- ul grove in O' Ib,rne township, and to which I had been invited. The affair. Was an embodiment of the sociability and good cheer so charwteristic of rural gatherings, and the "light fanaastk" was tripped until far into the morning. This picnic is an annual concern, and the fact that it was gotten up by no particular sect or impelzatiuu, but was a spon- taneous outcome of the general amicable relations existing between neighbors in that locality, speaks volumes for the peace and goodwill existing amoug the people. Lurks.w t'aledesras ueri.ty. ion Monday last the railway commit- tee, Messrs. M. Campbell and D. E. Cameron, proceeded to Hamilton to in- terview the railway authorities in regard to arrangements for Caledonian Day. In company with Adam Brown Esq., they called on the Assistant General Passen- ger Agent on Monday morning and were courteously received by Mr. McClure, who, by the way, is a thorough Scotch - [nen and an enthnsissticlover of Cale- donian sports. The result of the inter- view was most satisfactory and it is like- ly excursions at very low rates will be arranged iron London, Guelph, South- ampton and intermediate points. Mr. Brown was unremitting in his kindness to Messrs. Campbell and Cameron, and generously offered to convey the invita- tion to Sir John A. McDonald to be present at the games. At London Messrs. Campbell and Cameron called on His Worship, Mayor Meredith and other prominent citizens, and were in every case courteously received, the Free Press and Advertiser being specially deserving of Mention. It is likely a large number of the citizens of London will be with us un Caledonian Day.—[Sentinel Nu ystsm of fanning is °ewplete that dtrpaames with closer as a rotation crop Melon, cucumbers and squas'.es ar.l cultivated in the same manner, but they should never be planted sear souk other.
