C'LISTOX AS A PORT OF ENTRY.
Some time ago,. the people of Exeter
• took steps towards making that place
a port of entry, and petitions in favor
of such were sent to. the Government,.
but we understand were not fe,,vourably
received, owing to its railway facilities
not being suftieient,• since that tine
the advisability of. making our own.
town a port of entry has been consid-
ered, and a committee for that purpose
has been appointed, and petitions are
now being nyurerensly signed in the
neighboring towns and villages, That
Clinton is the most central point in the
county and has thobet rail way facilities,
all will agree. The ports ROW convenient
are Stratford and Goderieb. In a great
many cases,. goods, shipped by the
Grand Trunk Railway and destined for
some point on the London Huron $<
13tuce, are very much delayed, either
by being kept at Stratford, and then
again at °lintel' Station, for shipment
on the other line, or else going on to
Goderich and coming back again,. caus-
ing also a good deal of unnecessary
expense.
Clinton is therefore the: proper place,
as goods may be shipped hete by either
of the lines, pass the officer and go on
to their destination•without any.further
delay. We understand that all the
other villages are strongly in ..favor• of
Clinton, and that the petitions are .be•
ing signed by :very person interested,
We Hope the Govorument may see fit
to give diem careful c.onsideration',, Incl
take steps immediately to the request
contained therein. •

Grand Trunk and Great Western Rail-
