In the Legislature Mr. Ross expresS-
ed his belief that wooden railways
would prove a gigantic failure, and the
money expended on them would be
thrown away. They would not even
'be servicable as a step to iron roads
afterwards, as the latter required an
entirely different bed. To his mind
they were cheap but nasty.
Government intend adjourning Par-
liament over to Saturday from Wed-
nesday, from Satnrday to Tuesday, arid

There has been quite an excitement

A meeting was held last night (Tues-

close a collection was taken up which
amounted to something over $50. The

One township council have granted
$400 to Assist in building ei bridge
over the river at Wroxeter. Would
it not be well before paying over the
the. m.oney, to bind the. Messrs Gibson
to keep the bridge in repair, also to keep
it passable as it frequently happens the
street is so blocked- with logs as to
make it almost impossible to get
through, and in one instance when
one of the above gentlemen were re-
moinstrated with for keeping it in
such a 'state, the reply was This is
private property, if you do not like
it you can go round,' which at that
time was all very well; but what is
the use .of us building a bridge if we
are only allowed to cross it by :the
courtesy of the proprietor of the same.
I understand some of the ratepayers
intend entering- an action against the
council for their action in the matter.
There is rid doubt but the townshipS
have a right to build the bridge pro-
vided Messrs Gibson will bind them-
selves to keep the dam in repair, arid
keep the logs out of the way so that
teams may pass at any time.
HIBIERT, March 21st 1869.
To the Editor of the Expositor.
• DEAR Sm. ---Would you allow me a
•few * lines in your valuable celumns; re-
specting your enterp,ising and-riiing
village l Could you not persuade pone°
of your enterprising .men to erect stab-
ling or a shed in the locality of the
ithirket, as it is the casein every other
market, for I should think it would
pay very well, and I am sure that
there are too many on the front street.
During, the lase six weeks farmers have
suffeced a great deal for want of
such. I speak, on account of the se-
venty of the weather; while in surnraer
the hot scorching sun renders it as bad,
and not even a place to water our
animals. Parties corning from a disb
t ince, especially, feel the want of such
accomodation, for they start when the
moon rises and get in early with their
horses steaming and sweating. For
tee sake of the poor beasts, ta.ke any
offer that's given, after which they go
to the storehouse to upload, where per-
haps they have to wait several hours
for their turn. " I would submit that it
is nothing more n.or less than cruelty.
Now if stabling were convenient, far-
mers would chive their loads to the
market square, leave them their for
inspectionevt up there horses at once,
watching their lo`ad at the same time,
and take there time about selling.
Again many get in late in the evening,
when the buyers are all gone except
one or two. Did such accomodation
as I allude to exist, the buyers could
exaraine the grain, though they did
not get a bid, until it came out on the
square, and in the case of its being
• raining or snowing, other business could
be trarsacted in the meen time leaving
quest or the defendant, to reeable him,
to receive evidence from Ireland. ee
At the same court, in the chargepf
rape preferred against Dr. Fenwick,the
grand jury returned no bill. The 'tee-,
timony of several of the leading mem-
bers of the medical profession examin-
ed' befere the grand jury, went to show
that the girl Wison was a subject of
hysteria, and that it was, therefore,
in the nature of the case that ,she
should have fancied that the assault
had 'really be,en committed upon her
person. Only one medical gentleman
held a different opinion.
• -A very .serieus robbery occured in a,
fLmall hotel kept by a man named
Gigge. ,While he and his wife were
asleep, some unknown person was busy
extracting a parcel' of money from un-
der his pillow, which awoke him, up-
on which the inVader fired a pistol
which entered the breast of Mr. Griggs,
and the robber escaped. It is reported
that the robber had an aecomplice in
ethe person of some of the inmates of
the house, and several an-ests have
been made in oonsequence thereof,
Mr. Grigg's case evas at first considered
dangero but he is now recovering.
On t e night of the 22nd, a thief got
into tie Post Offiee, and took there-
from about $30; The Times thinks he
wae green at the "bie,Tas there was
1,u-ge =taunts in the safe which did'nt
attract his attention.

IT is now understood that the Nova
Scotia elections will take place on the
20th of April. Mr. Howe's sevel'e
mess and long -continued inactivity can-
not but tell heavily against him at.the

• On _Monday a row took place at
Bothwell amongst a number of roughs,
who had spent the Sunday previous in
gambling. In the affray, one ma,n was
dangerously wounded. Four of the
pa- ties implicated have been committed
to Chatham jail.
On Saturday morning last, a tal-
man Jeeping car, on the Great Western,
ran off the track, and over, an embenk-

the car rolled over several times, no one
was killed, but seventeen persoes were
more or less injured, some Of them
