They are handsomely painted, and when lighted will add considerably to the appearance of the place in the evenings. They are placed as fol- lows ;--One at corner Huron and Main streets, one between W.

His family remain in Exeter un- which he contended the Company were ignor- til he can secure a ho ;se in Norwich. ant of. Ho had no idea that Exeter was such an impo'tant place as it is, and probably the same lack of knowledge on the part of the other officials accounted for the imposition practised upon the town as the matters of freight rates. •I'he buyers do not favor making any cninprom- ise. They think that the Company wouldonly aeeommodate them until the present agitation died out, when they would be at liberty to im- pose on the town again with impunity. A little bard work is all that is necessary to place the G. W. R. in such a position that it cannot again take the advantage of the town, and retard its growth in population and;wealth. Sics Hones,—On Friday last, as Mr. Jelin Welsh, of Usborne,was drawing a load of wood to the TIMae office, one of his horses became sick with the colic and fell on the street when near their destination. A smart application of the whip Was necessary to rouse the Pros- trate animal and compel it to go the few extra rods necessary, where it was unhitched and given over to the care cf the veterinary sur- geon. In the eveliug the horse was able to go home all right. GooD AT PRouistxo.—Mr. Sea.

ENTHUCiASTIC MEETING IN DREW'S HALL,— AN INTENSE DESIRE FOR A BRANOH OF THE GRAND'IRUNE RAILWAY. According to posters issued by order of the Council, a public meeting was held in Drew's hall on Tuesday evonin • for the purpose of giving the people of the village an oppottuuity of discus- sing the question of increased railway accommodation for Eget r and the surrouneing townships. The meeting which was large and a representative nue in every respect, was called to orcrr by the Clerk, lir, M. Eacrol t, an pouncing the object of the meeting• and ask-il g that a chairman be Reprinted, when Mr. D. Johns was nominated to that poyitiol;, which he accepted and filled admirably. Mr. Geo, Willis was the first person called on. He eointed out the exnee- tatiouts which had been formed when Exeter banused the G. W. R., bet we had been disappniued owing to the ex- orbitant rates charged by the oompany. £bo buyers were not able to pay Rs uigll prices as please on the Grand Trunk. The G. W. R had failed to chime up to the expectations formed of it. Tilers were at present 110 oars of grain lying at the station which it was impossible to get away. There t' ere only three oars of grain loaded last. week, so badly were we neglected by the G. W. R. In the matter of rates Exeter was pl•,ced at a great ;noon t eoienee. ; t, \I, rye has an advantage of 3 cents per bushel. The farmers get as much for their wheat in St. Marys as the buyers here could sell for. The merchants also lost by the high rates imposed. `Ilse custom which belonged to Exeter now went to oilier towns, and unless this could gain be secnrnd, the town would remain at a staud still. Iu St. Mary's when a by-law was pas- sed granting $60.000 to the Credit Valley R. R., the O. T. R. carne 20 terms with the town, which paid high- er 'nixes then, and we needed some- thing to courteraet that. In the mat ter of flour it costs $250 more to shin 50 barrels from Exeter then from St. Marys, and Mr. Pickard oonld get iron shipped to Lnoan 10 ehillintfa per ton lower tllten to Exeter. All these things warkiug together drove the p • ifs to St. Marys. They went from near the towu, anti it ought to be stopped. The ouly way that could be accomplished was to have a eeuond road, $20,000 be th ,ught would be necessary from Exeter, and if we got the G. W. R. for that figure it would he the well spent money. He thought action ought to be taken at once. , Mr. John Renton, connoillor, .was one of ( the prime movers in oallinc the meeting. and thought that he etas justified. The Couueil ehogld be leaders in sash affairs, sit they were t the representatives of the people, Headverted to the history of the L. H, d; B. R. We had bonnsed that road expecting to be greatly bene-• fitted. and we were for a while, until within the last couple of years, when the G. W. R. has neglected us and enbjeotod no to many ineonveuiencee. the passenger coaches on tbe line were diose which were worn out on main hue, ars the reople on the L. H. & B. R. Count put rt''with them. They were plenty Rood enough tor as. Theoare on the morning train north and the afternoon south were digs graceful, and it was a shame to put ladies in them. In the matter of rates we were shame- fully imposed upon by the company. Wiag- ham, which has the advantage of being five miles from si competing line, which is avail- able for teams, shipped flour at 7 petite per barrel less than Exeter, Clinton has an ad- vaatage of 20 tenni per ton on coal. The other day he knew wipre a part of a car -loud of wool was Rh/lopedExeter and teamed. to Lnoan, and whets Oreached its destination the buyer west? b • r offthan if he had had it *hipped' by the t3', , R.

He cid not realize the ex. tent to which the busineie Of the town was crippled. But lately he could not help notio. ing it, and when tho reason was explained to him he felt that the necessity for a second road was very pressing indeed. Some might object to giving a bonus to the G. T. R., bat they ought to consider the fact that we are pad ing a bonus of about 57,000 a year to the G. W. R. in high rates, and will continue to do so until we get a competing line. The only course left open to the people was to make an attempt to get a second road. Exeter increased for four yeaas, and he believed that instead of retrograding during the past two yeare,it world have ootitmuea to increase had we been justly dealt with. Mr. Fenwick was in favor of bonneing the G. 1'. R.. It crippled him in his business, while shippers in Wingham conld ship flour for 47 be had to pay 55. All other places on oompeting lines had the same r n rg:s. He could not sell flour to some pr' I Montreal because Exeter was not on th 0. T. 1. He had an offs of a good contract a w) i d ship faom Seafortb or Clinton. In eut..,,.sr,Ogilvy, of Goderich, could ship by G. T. It. for 28 to 30, and was allowed to put on 50 sacks more to the Car more than he was, while he has to pay from Exeter 38 to 40. Howland & Co., of Toronto, would give him 10 to 12 cents a bars rel more for flour if he could ship by G. T. R. In lumber, the G. W. R. will carry lumber to St. Thomas from Kincardine cheaper Chau from Kincardine to Exeter, which made it plain that an advantage was taken of Exeter, Mr, James Swinerton was in favor of the ' G. T. R. He had felt the iueonveuience that he with other buyers was put to. Tberates were too high, and nothing would but a second road. That would restore the trade whieh was lost. • The great bulk of Usborne Trade fe loot just }treatise the G. W. R. impales oil Exeter. He v'as in favor of securing competition. Jemos Howard agreed with the speaker 4rho had preceded him. If Exeter was expected to grow we must have incraaaed railway soeoinL modation, We had an unequalled country x11' around DS, and it was a pity that its trade should go to other places through the imposi- tion of the G. W. R. He would stopped ebb - bonus. lib - bonus. Mr. Piokard said that he endorsed the senti- ments of the gentlemen who 'had spoken. What they said was correct, and he was pre- pared to suppers a branch of the G. 1'. R. Mr. John (mould, Mr. !t. Drew and Mr. Jas. Willis, all spoke briefly tint all in favor of sn• other zailroad, and favoring the immediate ap- poinimeet of a committee to manage the ars rangeniente. It was then moved by John Gould; seconded by Wm. Fenwick, '.t;That this meeting fully approves of the actionpf the Council in calling this meeting, that ,ve, are fully convinced of the necessity of a branch of the 0. T.
