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. • EDITORIAL NOl'L'."'
