those on the gallery seats can have as

ment which is much required is the
covering of the stairway leading to the
entrance door of the hall. At present
A is actually dangerous to descend, the
stairs in the dark; and especially so
in a crowd. The stairs should be cover -
so as to keep them, il.ry and clean; and

the directors of tit- South Huron 'Agri-
cultural Society I ave decided, to hold
• the anneal spring how, for the exhibi• -
tion of entire stoek, at ' Bruce field, on
• Wednesday, 22d ad April. The :prizes
• this year are more liberal then they have
ever bee i before, and we anticipate the
• show wid be one o• the best 'ever held
under the auspice of the society. • On
account of the number ef excellent ani-
mals which have been imported into the
• County during it' pest year, we • may
safely predict that the competition will
• be keen, and, that he stuck lain be of e
quality tot to be s 'passed in the Pro-

- A meeting of th • ratepayers of Sea -

Hall, on the cycling of Thursday of last
week, for -the jpupose of considering
matters conhect cl, with the construction
of an extension of the Ontario and Que-
bec Railway fr m Port Perry to God-
erich, with 10, lprai th from Brussels to
Sarnia, via Seaortii. The meeting was
called by Mr. Joh Fowler, the projec-
tor of the scheme. The attendance, ow-
ingf to the shortno Me given of the meet-
ing, was not ve y 1 rge. The Chair was
i
taken by Mr. tens p, Reeve, who •
duced,Me. Fowler ()the meeting:-.; Mie
Fowler explained t ttitire was now hs,vr
Mg a bill pa -sed through Parliament, in-
corporating the s henie he advocated.
The scheme wa to construct a railway,
to be called theHuron and Quebec Rail-
way, from Goderie • to Port Perry, there
to connect with he proposed Ontario
and Quebec Rail ay, with 'a breech
from Brussele '[tc., arnia, via Seaforth,
and to connect wir • American lines of
railway at iS ' nia. This- would be a
through competing line . with the Grand
Trunk. By t es ro te the distance from
Seaforth to M htre I would be some 30
miles shorter tl1cuir y the Grand Tnink.
,
It would-be a ;nue easier road to con-
struct than the G and Trunk was, ow-
ing to its passing through a more level
country; and could be constructed for
about one-third lessIthan it cost to build
that road. After showing the benefits
which his seli pee w uld confer upon the
country in th ' we, of competition, &c.,
lie referred to the amounts which would
be required. from the municipalities.
The Company would require in bohuses
from this Ceunty $5,000 per mile. He
said that $4,0(0 per Mile had been &rant-
ed in bonne s to the London, fiuron
and Bruce Railway, and contended that
this road would be , f very much great-
er advanta, 0 to the people than that.
Besides the 5,000 per mile from the
County, he ould require a bonus of
$100,000 frq Godnicehne. and.,_$20,.000 ,
from Scfo th.-----: It- he would only ask
hese boriuse On condition that the mu-
nicipalities which had already granted ,
bonuses to the London, Huron and
Bruce, wouldibe relieved from, their ob-
ligations to that Company. He believed
he could make arraiigenuents with that
Company by whicl this could- be ac-
complished. 1 The Foaci which he pro-
posed -would be of ten times more ad.-
-.vantage to I ondoni than the road they
proposed to build 'themselves, as rune
would hegiven to the Lou -
over this road.- The bo -
d, he said, would only
amount to about 4 nulls on the dollar of
assessment, or $5 hn each 100 acres
ot land, and he felt _atisfied that there
was not 3ne owner of a hundred acre
farm in the 1:nunty ho would not will-
ingly give more tha $5 a year for the
benefit whi h such a road would
confer on him. i e concluded ' by
stating that iso soon as the charter of
the road wa sanctioned by the Lieuten-
ant Govern fe he ould call another
meeting when he•wo ild more fully dis-
cuss the project, amul lay his plans be-
fore thud. The tutt1 amount of bonus
