'dyed wits as follows : The oompany desired to see if they oonld afford to run the line by the Northern route, indepund• ant of the Government bonus, by means of bonne from the munioipalitieo in the matter of the right of way. Upon ih- veotigation it was found that this could not be done and that the Southern route was the least expensive. This then i0 the reason, so far as we are able to ender. eland the matter. The line will run from Guelph to Elmira, Linwood, Menden, Walton, Blyth and Goderioh. Of noose it in not yet built but if it is oouetrnsted, then it will run through or near Monkton. Needless to say the residents of that village ate tinkled to death, and who can blame thrm ? It will mean a great deal to them.
