OUR RAILWAY.
St. Marys, April 8, 1870.
To the,Editor of the Trulls,
SIR, --Tile one question of the day
with us -even to the exclusion of the
Tariff -is the railway ; and, unlike must
issues, this ouo has been grappled with
in a tlloro' practical way. Since the
question of extended railway facilities
wire first mooted -about New Years
last -when a committee was appointed
at a public meotini-that committee
has f,titllfully worked, till now they are
ready to ask the Municipal Connell to
Submit a bonus by-law to the property
holders of the town. In this matter
the committee have been ably seconded
by the people of Embro, wtio feel deep-
ly interested in tile work. That the
road will be an important one to the
localities through which it may pass is
fully evinced by the feet that several
6eetions are even now clamoring for
both its starting point and terminus.
While Woodstock and Lleersoll each
claim prefereuce to the former, God -
Bayfield, and Pork Frank ask
the latter ; preseut appearances, how-
ever, iudicate Woodstock avid Purt
Frank as the probable successful ones,
the line as proposed, passing from the
former,t•hroagh Ent bro and Lakeside,to
St. Mary's, which may be considered
the central point. From St. Marys the
western extension will probably run
through Blansbard and Usborne, to
Exeter, and thence, touching Grand
Bend, to fort Fn•auk, when it would
terminate till found convenient to pro-
duce the line to Sarnia, thus ulaltiog
a lino of vast importance to this section
of country, bringing the counties of Ox-
ford Perth, Huron and Lambton into
close connection, and giving a great
impetns to industry all along the line.
Meantime the general success of the
scheme rests materially with St. Marys,
where, notwithstanding a large major-
ity of the people are in favor of the un•
dertalting, it has not failed to meet a
species of opposition • frorn such as ig-
noring the benefits to be derived from
the road, affect to be hngely alarmed at
the extent of the proposed bonus ($60,-
000), that is $50,000 for road construc-
tion, and $10,000 for work shops, &c.,
in connection with the Railway. These
men would, however,certainly appose a
bonus of $20,000, from peculiar mo-
tives of their own. The by-law for the
bonus will be advertised in a few days,
and a vote will settle the question, so
far as our town is concerned, ',for all
time ; for, should the opposition suc-
ceed in defeating the by-law, it is not
likely another opportuuity will ever of.
fer again, and the rood, which will un-
doubtedly be built, will pass far enough
beside us to destroy the future hope of
St. Marys, leaving us an embro city of
magnificent churches, extensive and
costly school houses, but NO TRADE.
However, we look for better things.
There may be %itch of selfishness and
not a little stupidity in sur town. but
we have sufficient enterprise and good
sense withal, to counterbalance these
elements. Of coarse, the western ex-
tension to Port Frank will rest with the
municipalities along the route. It will,
therefore be well that Exeter, if she
would not prefer Creditgn to take away
her chance, stir herself in the matter.
It is well known that several localities
look to the central points for action, by
which they are much governed in
these matters. Let there be no delay
in procuring a survey of the route from
this town westward ; and as this can-
not be done without funds, we feel cer-
tain the spirited people of Exeter will
see that means are provided, in which
they will doubtless be aided by the in-
terested municipalities along the line.
The ball has fairly been set rolling by
St. Marys ; let it not stop till the shorn
of old Hurou is reached. J. A. B.
Granton.
To the Editor of the Turas.
Sin, -The general readers of your
widly circulated and influential journal,
must, folie the last two or three weeks,
have felt very much disgusted at the
tone of the correepOndent of this vil-
lege. I confess, therr e fore, that it is
with some hesitation hat I ask for
space in your columns 'to make a few
remarks with reference to it, There
are, however, occas ons when it be.
Domes absolutely n e' eery for a man
to say a word in se efenco,' and this.
I venture to think eR one of theme
What are the factaih Connection with
this matter ? A Omit time some of
the members of ti eeMethodist Church,
here,;a having greit regard' -for their
minister, desired to give expression to
that feeling in a tangible form, and to
that end promoted a subscription for
the purpose of presenting hint with
some token of their esteem. Others of
them, for reasons best known to them-
selves, and with which therefore ib is
not for mo to quarrel, thought it un-
necessary. Very well, they were clear.
ly within their right in so thiuking,and
in taking r10 part in the matter. Those
of us, on the other hand, who took au
opposite view were as clearly within
our right, and perfectlyjnstified in act-
ing accordingly. Au anonymous cor-
respondent of yours, however, has
chosen:to take umbrage at ourinuocent
proceedings, and to make us general-
ly, and me especially, the object of a
very grass and offensive personal at-
tack in your columns -insinuating that
I was the sole originator of the presort-
tation, and that I had been so merely
for the sake of advancing my own pe-
cuniary interests, and acquiring for
myself.a reputation of sanctity. .1. did
not originate the presentation, but very
willingly assisted in a proceeding which
commended itself to me as a right and
proper cue. I reaped no pecuniary
benefit whatever from the transaction.
The articles were not purchased at my
store. As to my being identified with
"Observer." there is no one who knows
better than yourself, Mr. Editor, that
1 have never written you a single line,
on this subject, and I now state poli=
tively that, up this time, I have never
authorized any person whatever to
write in my name, or 1n my behalf.
