Official Paper of the County.
t FRIDAY, JANUARY q, 1871-
Seafoeth and the New Railway.
There is scarcely . a day goes by
but we bear the remark, "should
the proposed Landon, Huron and
Brace Railway pass through Sea -
forth, it will injure it, if not 'kill
it dead.". Now, we cannot see the
matter in this light. We have giv-
en the whole question most earnest '
and se ous consideratien ; we have i
-viewed it in all its bearings, and
the conclusion we have - arrived- at
is, that should such a road he built,
and we have not the slightest doubt
. On this point, it will :prove an ines-
-timable benefit taevery resident, as
wellasto eveiy property -holder - of
Seaturth, to have it pass directly -
through our village. In order to
prove pis -assertion, it will he nec-
essary, in the first place, to shove
what the probable loise tie the village
may be should such a work . be car-
ried out, and, in the second place, to
estimate the probable gain, and then
strike a balance 1treen the two,
and see 'upon whi 1 side the greater
weight will be. In the first place,
then, should this road be built
through Seaforth, we will, undoubt-
edly, lose a portion of the trade,
from the ,North aud South of .us, as
grain merkets will be established at
points whem there is now no.. sure
market for produce, for the reason
that . there is no railway to carry it
off. But this is all that we can pos-
sibly lose, and even this is not so
great a loss, when it comes - to be
looked into, as would at first appear,
It is a well-known factthat neither
the Northern or Southern trade,
from a distance greater than twelve
or fourteen miles, is wort much to
us. Of course, we geth-the grain
trade from a much greater distance.
but it is merely the • grain -trade.
Those parties who do not live. con-
tiguous to Seaforth come -here and
sell their grain, get their mone?;
and hike it away to A inleyville,
Wroxeter, Exeter, and 'other places,
and vend it there, instead of leav-
ing it with our merchants. This is
quite -easily underetpod, as the far-
mers of those distant tawnships run
bills, during the summer with the
merchantand -teadeamen of these
villages, and are in duty bound,
when they have money, to patronize
those who accommodated them dur-
ing the summer seasob, when, per-
haps, the exchequer was l o V7. Th is
is an established fact, and will, we
fancy, oe reedit); assented to by a
majority of the k basinese men, not
only of Seaforth, bat cf the neigh-
boring villages we have mentioned.
Such being the case, what are eve te
lose by having the railway? Simply
that portion of the grain trade which
now can -not conveniently or prof-
itably find its way here, and noth-
ing mem
In opposition to this loss, what
are we to gain? By this railway
passing through Seaforth, there will
be a mitcht better market for all
kinds of produce than there now is,
foe the reason that we will haveenot
(Ay a choice of routes, but a choice
of markets: We will have the priv-
ilege of shipplag our- produce either
by the Grand Trunk to Montreal,
orhy the new tine to Port Stanley;
and from thence to the bestAmeri-
can' maikets. Not only this, but as
Seaforth will be a crossing, and con-
sequently a COU3peting point between
the two roads, freights will be much
iower than they now are, and lower

THE EUROPEAN WAR.
GAI•IBETTA TO RELIEVE PARIS -750,-
000 FRENCHMEN UNDER ARMS.
Saturday, Dec. 31 —The eve' -ac-
tive Genhietta has returned to Bor-
deaux, and has set to work with re-
newed energy to devise and early out
means for the deliverance of the
couutry. Reinf -rcements have been
sent- to the front with additiohal
supplies and artillery of a new pat-
_ tern. Gen. Chausey has assumed
the offensive with successful results,
and Bourbaki is to march to the
east, with the intention of operating
on the Prussian lines of cominUnica-
don. Another report states that
Bour'oaki is to unite his forces with
those of Cnausey, and with all the
troops of France in the western de-
partments, make a desperate attack
main the Prussian investments
around the capital, and endeavor to
relieve the city and supply it with
fresh food, of which he is said to
have gathered an im na en se quantity
It is asserted that „the French- have
750,000 men under arinseand if
they have anything like these figures
they should make a bold and ener-
getic effort to drive back the hither-
to successful invader.
TRE SIEGE BEGUN IN EARNEST.
The Prussians are reported to be
withdrawing their forces from the
•easterr. departments and concentrat--
iug them around Paris, leaving only
sufficient to keep open communica-
tion. It is evident the Prussians
heve commenced siege opmations in
real earnest, and severe fighting, of
the most desperate and destructive
character May now be expected be-
fore -the walla of Paris. A dozen
shells have eli•eady been thrown
iiito the subu cos of La Villette and
Belleville, by the Prussian guns, at
a range of 7,000 yards. Reinforce-
ments from Germany to the extent
of 150,000 men are stated to be
hurrying forward to Paris.
FRENCH SUCCESSES—THE POPULATION
j RISING.
Monday, Jan. 2.—The towns of
Auferres, Gray and Vesoul have
been evacuated by the French, un-
der the command or Generals Bres-
soles, Bremes and Garibaldi. The
army of Bordeaux is to march di-
rectly on Paris. As the French ad-
vance, the inhabititnts hasten to join
the ranks, aud thus the army in-
creases rapidly in'numbers. Small
er towns now resist, as in the case
of Tours, which was not occupied
by the Germans. At Cog the Prus-
sians were repulsed by the popu-
lation.
• GERMA),TY WEARY OF WAR.
The Prussians are now sending to
the front the Landwehr of the sec-
ond ban, aged 42 and 43. It is con-
sidered that the utmost effort which
Germany is capable of making is
being inade. Though the system of
outlaying a vast army is admitted to
be admirable, it cannot obviate the
dissatisfaction and distrust' which
exist in considerable sections ofter
ritory. Notwithstanding official
statements.concerning-the victualing
and clothing of the troops, the popu-
Jar instinet, appreciates the difficul-
ty of the situation in its proper
light, and although no sign: of dis-
cour..gement is perceptible, the for-
mer entlillSiiI8111 has ceased to exist,
and a strong desire for peace is ex-
pressed.
THE FINAL STRUGGLE.
The Prussians are bringing up re-
serves of Land wehr, and concentrat-
ing around Pa.iis, to prepare for the
final struggle. Prince Frederick
Chailes has retired to the besieging
army around the capital, and will,
no doubt, be closely followed by the
French forces in the western de-
partments.
THE BOMBARDMENT.
Tuesday, Dec. 3..—The Prussians
have, at last, got ready for the born-
ldardment, and the great guns are
to open in terrific style from the
western and southwestern lines of
investment. There are, it is stated,
some 1.500 guns of all sizes placed
around the capital. -
GAZBETTA. AGAIN.
Gambetta tells the people they
must not confound the Republic
with the persons who had been
forced by events to assume power,
and assures them that; the members
of the Provisional Government
would, as soon as the Prussians
have been driven from France, re-
sign th,eit offices. and thus give the
nation an opportunity of expressing
its ()Onion upon their conduct. He
earnestly advocates the largest lib-
erty Of opinion, and maintains that
speech must be as free as thought,
with some essential qualifications as -
to those licentious - a,giottois who
seek to arouse esiti.rit of lthstility

FORT AVRON-7THE WEATHER.
The abandonment of Fort Avron
is reported, and has caused same
despondency in Paris. The weather
continues cold, and the troops or
both illations have suffered sevet•e
losses through exposure to the .in-
clemency of the season.
PRUSSIAN DEMANDS:
It is beyond doubt that the Prus-
shalt wilt he satisfied with nothirg
less than the capiailatien of Paris ;
but i is equally cle-1-1- that the be-
siegers will not tine this as eesy of
accom pl ish me n t as they apptiar to
have anticipated.- The 1 avisions,
accut•ding to despatches to the last
of December, are eagerly urging
General Trochu to make a sortie -
with as large a force as possil)le, and
thus break up the enemy's lines. As
the Prussians are reported to be re-
tiring from the Loire towards tile
capital; followed by the French un-
der Cheusey, ic is not improbable
that Trochu v ill, thorn -nuiiiitary
reasons alone, gratify the somewhat
sanguinary desires of the citizens.
itis stated that in the latest ad vices
from Paris that the citizens are suf-
feting from want of coal. The sup-
ply of that necessary articie is 18-
lquired for the mills and the manu-
factories of cannon and srriell arms.
The people Jare therefoie, in tlieir
extremity, cutting down the trees of
the isois de Boulogne, and the Bou-
levards. The beautiful city will
thus be deprived of one of its great-
est charms, and in this respect alone -
will long bear the traces of the fear-
ful ordeal through which it is now
passiiig. One of tbe Paris papeis—
the Electeur Libre—has been dis-
cussing the advisability of continu-
ing or terminating the struggle ; and
attacks the Provisional Government
for not adopting more energeticmeaures in defending the city.
Some of the other jonrnals elso criti-

- Extensive Cattle Stealing.
For some flute past numbers of
cattle and sheep disappeared very
mysteriously from the Townships of
Warwick and Plynipton. What
became of them it was for a consid-
erable time difficult to ascertain;
but ultimately two men, named
William Simpson and Henry Sew-
aru, residing in Warwiek, not far
from Watford, were suspected of be-
ing connected with their disappear-
ance, . and their movements were
closelY watched with the view of
bl'illeing he crime home to them.
Suecient proof of their guilt was
accordingly obtained about ft week
ago, and both were arrested and
brought before Jessy Kenward and
Thomas Saunders, Esquires, Rt Wat-
ford, on Monday last Thi eiantina- •
tion. tit the examination, Joshep.
Cook testified that he saw the pris-
oners driving four head of cattle, all
about three years old, which they
offered to sell him for $100. An-
drew Edwards testified that about
two months ago Sirepeon took to
his place twenty sheep, 'asking to
have them put into his ft eld Per-
mission being graned,
ted, hey remain-
ed a week, a hen they were sold to a
man named Irwin. Ile next brought
seven head of cattle, some of which
he sold, and others he .1)u tehered ItIld
sold at Petroliit. . Edwards stated
that he saw . two hehd purchased
from H, Crone, but doubtless all the
others were 8tOlell: .0enry Haley
testified that he saw tlie prisoners
butchering a. number of cattle and
sheep this fall, which he • thought
were not honestly couie by. One
circumstance which excited his slia-
picion, was that they never brought
cattle home in the day time, but al-
ways at night.
The evidence of their guilt being
fully establislied by Seward's con-
fession, 1)o th prisoners w -ere cornm it -
ed to jail on thb 26th inst., to await
their trial for the offence. After
their committal both expressed a -de-
sire to be tried sinnmarily, and they
evere brought before Judge Robin-
son, Judge of the County Court, on
Wednesday last, ler trial. The
charge agaitst Sim pson was for steid -
ing our heed of cattle from James
Simmons—to which he pleaded
guilty; and was sentenced to Eve
year's tiry.

been in Simpson's employment for
two months, helped him to drive
and butcher cattle and sheep, oa the
