Canadian money has been wasted
n projected railroads, and he asks the
he ieople of I:fur= to pause before they
throw away their hard earnings.
Mr. Cogswell does not wish us to if
that those gwindlere have sold the de-
oU bentures of Hay, Ifullettt &a.,” but he
ose simply states that the not. of incorpore.
the tion, or, in other Words, the act of Par.
'lea 'lament,- says the debentures shall be
handed over to trustees, withiu six
tG weeks after the hy-hov is . passed, and
vay- sold. &a. We have a good reason why
;tee those„clebentureswere'not demanded, be.
nee- cause there is no legally formed com-
pany to hand them over to nor, until
I recently, were any trus,tees ippointed.
ncl Nor does Mr. Croswell in his letter
000 assert. that all the projectors of the
road are swindlers, but he does say, and
brings positive proof, that quite a num.- °
her of those projectors have exhibited
ay themselves as sharks of the worst kind.
No person but must admit that there
can be an honest difference of ovinien
upon the advisability of the building of
1e/re this road. krom the tenor of Mr. Coma
a well's letter he is strongly opposed to its
y being built, AS R line affording no advan-
to t tages to the farmers of Tuckersnaith and
a Stanley. But, as a public roan, holding
-ou the Ace of Reeve, he is bound to see, it
1-a7 a majority of the ratepayers slibuld vote
a bonus, that every security be given
ecl that the monev. shall only be applied for
rs J the purpose Mtarided. I, therefore,
a think Dr. Sloan'a criticism on the I
the length of Mr. Cresawell'S letter,
harsh and. unjust. For my part. I con-
e sider the whole of Mr. Cresswell's expla-
in
nations pregnant with sound sense and
to plaiu facts. He deserves the thanks of
y, the people if Tackersmith and Stanley,
who will be enabled thereby to give an.
ial intelligent vote when the question comes
tou.

-With regard to my assertion in refer-
ence to the ,holders of the $20,0(X) of
he stbck, I find in the Doctor's hands my
en meaning so distorted al not to be .recog-
ild nized. I will, for his enlighteninent,
th- put it in other words. No person in
London could be -found who would in.
his awn capital in the undertaking.
of The Great Western railroad officiahe
by however, is a bribe to obtain possession
the of the Port Stanley road, advanced
ry, funds, lint, at the same time took care
of that a majority of the Board of Direc-
tors shoakt be their agents. Now, above
Cart all things which we have most to dread,
Os is the uncontrolled influence of a grasping
corporation like the Great Western
Railroad. °
44 The promoters of the London, Huron
not and .Bruce Railway claim'that, should. it
I be built, freights would be lower, - and
ieh better accommodation afforded shippers.
hat This I affirm will not be the case. We
t I have an example in proof. The town of
Paris has a crossing of the Great Wes -
me, tern. and Grand Trunk, similar to that
we proposed for the London, Huron and
Rus leruce Railroad,. and Grand Trunk. I
icat ask are the freights lower there? No
Are the accommodations -tter there
than in other places ? .Answer. no. In
fact, the very worst accommodations
for passengerson the two lines are to be
found at that point, as those who have
traveled to Hamilton by rail will bear
me out in saying. As I hope to be fa-
vored • again with a space 111 yout col-
umns, I will bring my letter this week
to a Close. Yours, STANLEY,

The Story of the NoTthffeet.
We now know the facts connected with
ere,, the late terrible - collision off Dungeuess,
Fele.
by which 300 lives we sacrificed; The
arortrigeeta-the ship run into by a steam-
st er the name and whet- abouts of which -
are as yet unknown -was bound for
ou'r Hobart Town. Therewere nearly 400
ad emigrantson board, and, at the time ot
the catastrophe, most of them were
t asleep in their bertha. The weather was
thick and the wind foul, so, after getting
out of the Thames, and gtoping hie way
wrild as far as Dungeness, the Captain gave
orders to bring the ship to anchor. In
the dead of night an outward -bound
steamship, running at tull speed, dashed
straight into the 1:1-orthfleet, striking her
amidahip, then reversecl. her engines, Eio
as to get clear of the sinking ship, and
quietly steamed away. - The extraordint
ary thing about the business is that,
despite the shrieks and deadly peril of
hundreds of fellow-beihgs, threatened.
with a cruel death, the officers Of the
steamer, through whose criminal careless-
ness the accidentloccurred, should have
had the heart thus instantly to take
their vessel out of the way without at-
temptingto be of the iea,st help, even to
the extent ofspitching o-verboarcl. a life-
pteserver or a hencoop. The latest ad-
vices give no Certain tidings of the .
steamer's identity ; she is, however,
supposed to be Portuguese, and it is
thought that, through the pilot in charge
of her, who will, doubtless, some time
retorre her name and character will be
discovered. --
The scene that' ensued after the collis-
iou must 'have been shocking beyond -
desoription. Tbe orthfieet, being cut
clear to the water's edge, began to settle
instantly. Lights svere burning all over
the deck, and the passengers and crew
sprang from below to try to save them: -
selves as soon as they felt the shock.
There were seven boats, and for these a
rush was dieectly. made. But the usual '
dreadful misfortune happened, aarel only .
two of the boats could be launched. The
passengers then began to fight for places
in the -boats, and the wildest mansion
prevailed. But Captain Knowles sud-
denly appeared on deck, and, revolver
in hand, threatened. to shoot any one who
tried to get in a boat before she -was
launched, or before proper efforts were
made to save the tvcmen and children.
Some still doggedly pressed forward, and
the Captain cocked, and presented his
pistol, Hold_ hard, men," he cried,
"or I fire ; the first man who goes over
the side dies." A passenger shouted in
reply, " Shoot us, would you ? -We may
as well be shot by you as drowned with
you."- They did not stop, and the Cap-
tain began to fire. One ina,n was hit in
the knee and another in the breast, and
the yells and imprecations of the poor
creatures, mingled with, the screanas of
women and ,ehilnren. and the hoarse
shouts of the sailors, must have been an
awful scene. Some sixty were saved,
but all the rest perished. The .,-Vortis-
s(xei stink, as one of the survivors
described•it, like a stone." All around
the sea was lined with struggling human
beings. The number of women who
were trying to save babes and. small
children made the spectacle pitiable in
the extreme. Captain Knowles put a
cork belt round the waist of his young
wife, and sent her down into one of the
boats. As she was passed over the side
she said, " Good-bye, my own love,
good-bye." " Good-bye,' she sobbed,
" I shall never see you any more,"-ana

she did -not, for the gallant fellew went
down with_his ship. He etood on the
poop giving orders until she stmk, and
he never afterwards rose to the surface,
_ The Eorthfieet went clown in , eleven
fathoms of water. Renee, some who had
sufficient agility and presenceef mind to
do so, took refuge in the tops, and were
ultimately taken 5ff by the Princess, a
pilot -boat from Dover.
A few tito were lucky enough to get
hold of spars, chairs, and other articles
capable of supporting them, and who
were able tie endure the piercing cold
and buffeting sea, were preserved ; but
there has hardly ever been, except, per -
hap?, in the case of the 1?oya2 George,
•an instance of foundering so close to the
shore attended by so comparatively great
a loss of life. Had the unknown steamer;
stood by -as, if men, instead of brutes,:
had directed her movements she would
bave donea-probably nearly all would.
have been saved. The cold-blooded bai-
barity of the steamer's officers is almost
without Na. parallel, and if there is any
Fossils* way in which severer punish -
man can be meted out to theru than
that of the unbounded contempt of pub-
lic opinion, we trust it will not be spared. '

Extract from a Private
We hive not received a mail for two
weeks. The Stage cesispany's.horses are
sick with the epizootic, and they have
to bring the mail from Breckenridge with
oxen and degs-if they cau get them,
and, if not, they. let the mails stop
wherever they are,• and that is the case
now. There is one mail now at Grand
Forks, two at Pembina, two or three
more- at Moorhead_ and more yet at
Breckenridge, I suppose we will 'get a
mail sometime before next spring.
-We spent our Christmas and New
Years at- Rat 'Creek, about Ieight miles
above the Portage. We were sent there
by Mr. Dennis, to traverse the river,
across four sections, and take the im-
provemeuts along the bank. While there
we stopped at a Mr. McKenzie's, who
hu a very nice place. I think I will al-
ways remember the 1st of January, 1873,
for I came as near blowing-irriyselinto
eternity on that day asit was posible:
Mr. McKenzie had seven or eight /guns
in a rack in the kitchen, and one of our
men thought he would go out shooting
in the afternoon, so he took down one of
the guns to +an it, and while clean-
ing his gun the boys and I went to look
at the rest of them. I asked them if
they were loaded, and they sail no,' so I
was trying them all to see which was
the best. One of them happened to be
loaded. I pulled the trigger, te see if it
was good, anel off it went. Right Above
it, up stairs, there was a efin..of powder.
The shot passed through the can, which, ,
of course, exploded, and such a noise I
never heard. It blew the whole roof off
the house, and when Bottle of the roof
fell down again, it broke the beams of
theceiling, and one of them came down
on my head and stunned Me for a few
seconds. I never saw such a emash in
nay life. it moved every log in the
house, and blew every atom of plaster
off. aud such a screarning of women and
children -every one of , theat. thought
they were shot., but it /was very lucky
that no person was hurt, except myself,.
and I not bad. It °ply made my head
ache for a short time. Mr. McKenzie
would not hear of such a thing as our
paying for the damage. He is a rich old
Scotchman. R. MeP.

_ NEVs YORK HORSE MARKET.
TuESDAY,- Feb. 18, 1873.
The horse trade has •been iraproving.
Market business was fairly active, and
the deniand well distributed among work-
horses of all values. Heavy truck -horses
meet with ready sales and high prices
were paid for a fair amount of bone and
substance. Big and extra powerful ani-
mals, weighing ' from 1,300 to 1,500
pounds, -commanded frequently from
$400 to $550. Ordinary truck -horses
range from -$250 to $350. The average
• price paid for railroad and stage horses
remains about $165 per head, while Can-
ucks or common western draught horses
bring from $125 to $200. In pleasure
horses there is thus far hardly -anything
doing ; but leading dealers Assert that
this class will probable be held at higher
figures as the season advances. Ordin-
ary road homes are abundant, and can
be bought pretty • cheap in tire Bull's
Head Market, at sales stables* generally,
as well as under the hammer of the more
• prominent auctioneers. In Orange Coun-
ty, N. Y . , Mr. George B. Alley .has sold
a span of fast trotters to Mr. Frank
Work, who, it is presumed, acts for Com-
modore Vanderbilt. The rice said to
have been paid is $10,000 according to
some, and $7,500 according to others.
