We ®lad to see that this project is
being heartily taken up by the press and
people aleng the proposed line. When
Mr. Fowler left here he drove through
Blyth to Brussels, where he held a meet-
ing, and it was his intention to pass over
the entire route so se to be able to speak
from settle' observatton of the facilities
which the country afford for Lb, suie.
struction of a line of railway, andlo gist
the people stirred op to take hold of the
project. The meeting at Brtumels was
very enthnaiastic, and a mutation simi-
lar to that passed here was adoPtod
ominously.
That the oeustruction of the road will
prole of incalculable benefit to Gode-
rich, and with it to the whole County of
Hnron, cannot be denied. The strong-
est point made by Mr. Fowler in favor
of granting liberal bonuses io that the
line will be able to accomodete local
treffic in winter. We all know how
much the country, mid this section in
part:mule:, suffers by the difficulty in ob
taining cars to ahip grain. The Grand
Trunk owing to its Western connections
and the preference it has always shown
for through freight traffic, requires all
its rolling stock in winter to accomodate
its through buainess. Grain buyers sre
unable to give the farmers the same
price for their produce whelk they are
obliged to hold it for weeks before they
can send it to market and realise on it.
The new road will require a large amount
of rolling stock to forward the freight
brought by water to Goderich during the
'lemma' of navigstion, and having no
Western oonnections its csrs will be
available in winter for local traffic, just
et the time they are. required. In this
way alone the farmers will gain more in
• few years than all they will be asked
to grant in the way of bonuses, and we
trust when the proper time comes they
will be prepared to act liberally. Any
sum they will be asked to give will be
amply repaid in a sfiort time by the bene-
'fite couferred.

After the last South Huron election,
when the charter selling part succeeded
in carrying the town through miarepre-
mutation and falsehood, some of them
acinounced their intention of introduc-
ing politics at the corning municipal
elections in the confident expectation
that they could put their own men in
sod carry everything their own way.
10te more prudent of thern saw it wonld
never do to declare their intention open -
1r, and their organ denied what every-
one with any perception could see was
their evident desi,gn. The temperance
question was called into requiaition, and
we are sorry to say some of our Reform
friends have allowed themselves to be
led away by their zeal in this matter to
support certain Tory candidates who are
always reedy to sink their temperance
peinciples for the sake of party. We
hare always obposel the introduction
of politics into municipal matters and do
so still, yet we feel we are only doing
our duty when we warn the Reformers
of Goderich to be on their guard. We
would not oppose • suitable canelidate

Canvassing is going on actively for the
' variona positions. For the Mayoralty,
Horace Horton and S. H. Detlor are the
candidates. Mr. Horton had annoenced
his intention of retiring from the posi-
tion which he has hale for the laat two
years, bin a numerously signed requisi-
tion has been presented to him which
be felt he could not refuse to comply
with, though he has done so with much
reluctance. Mr. Horton has made an
• efficient Mayor and we have -no doubt
he will be re-elected. Were look upon
Mr. Detlor u • very uneuitable peivon
for the position, and we would further
caution the ratepayers against throwing
iway their votes on hien as it is not like-
ly he you'd hold the position, the gov-
ernment having very properly expreseed
their Juin, that none( of their officers
phould engage in municipal contests.

water gave out, but did not throw the
water as far as we expected, owing per-
haps to the distance it had to draw the
water, 22 feet.
The engine was then taken to the dock
and the suction pipe put into the river
with a drsitght of 8 feet. Engine work-
ed well and threw water to the distance
of 185 feet after forcing it through 600
feet of hose with a 11 inch nozzle.
They then attache(' three branches of
200 feet hose with 1 and & inch nozzle
and forced water to the (distance of 140
feet. Number.of lbs. of steam pressure
on each trial Would average 90 lbs.
This closed the trial 'nn Friday. Satior-
day morning the engine WY again taken
to one of the tanks, but as the water had
to be lifted from 14 to 29 feet it eid not
throw water as high or as far as it did
at the dock. le sununing up your com-
mittee would say the workmanship and
running of the engine is fully up to the
mark, but the water throwing power as
regards distance is somewhat behind our
expectations.
All of which is submitted.

Trial of Marshal Bustle.
Marshal Bazaine who oommamied the
French army st Metz during the Franco-
Prusaian war, has been for some time
past undergoing trial by court martial
for having surrendered with his army to
the Prussian force which was lieseiging
that city. • few days ago the• trial was
concluded, with the result ststed in the
following extrsct from the telegram an-
nouncing ita close :-"Af ter long de-
liberation, ths Judges declared Basin°
guilty of the capitulation of Metz and
the army in open field without doing
what was prescribed by honor and duty
to avoid surrender, and unanimously
condemned him to death, and to be de-
graded from hilgrank previous to execn-
tion. After judgmeot had been render-
ed all the members of the Court aigned
an appeal for mercy for the prisoner,
which the Due D'Aumale immediately
conveyed in perion to President Mc-
Mahen. Bazaicie was greatly agitated
when he heard the declaim' of the
Court."
It is said that President McIlahon
will commute the sentence to twenty
years seclasion. The verdiot givollgreat
satisfaction to the people of !France,
while a number of the leading English
papeoe think the Marshal has been
sacrificed to French vanity, No doubt
the people were glsd to have e large
share of the disgrace attached to the
disasterous result of the war put npoe
his shoulders, for in all human proba-
bility had he not surrendered and thus
left the Prussian force at Metz free to
assist in the Beige of Pans, the gunson
in the latter would have succeeded -in
breaking through the iron rtng of Prus-
sians wiliCh surrounded it. Whether
Bizane is ddserying of the seotence
which has been pronounced against him
er not, one cannot help pitytng him in
his misfortunes.
The Riel ease hae assumed new
phase. Our readers are aware that the
Grand Jury at the late sitting of the
Manitoba Superior Court found True
Bills against Rio' and Lepine for the
merder of Thomas Scott. Lepine is in
custody awaitingtrial, if it sh,ould be de-
cided that the Court has jurisdiction,
but Riel is still at large. A bench war-
rant was issued for his, arrest but the
Sheriff was unable to find him as he was
out of the jurilkliction. The Attorney -
General then stated to the Coert that
the first step had now been taken to the
end of proclaiming Rtel an outlaw. roe
second step which he proposed taking
was the issue of a writ Capsas ad respon-
dendurn. If this did not bring forward
the prisoner, outlawry in his case would
be proclaimed, and then he would, ioso
Auto, be convicted, and therefore ell f Anenswe Gosrme-Alex. Anderson,

An socouot of 13 men attending test
of engineota‘ounting 148.50, was pre-
sented and ordered to be paid, notiiith-
standing the fact that authority was
given to employ only 9 men at the test,
and that several whose names apeeared
in the account "assisted" by looking on
with their hands in their pockets; also
that the Council passed a resolution
some time ago that all accounts shotild
go before the Finance Committee befote
being paid. As an election is pending,
that wt11 probably account for the way
in which accounta are now nailed
through.
The Council then adjourned till Mon-
day evening, after a further test of the
engine has been made.

there will be no alternative but for Mr.

Ora Tooresstere, Prof. Ferguson, has
been out on a professional tour through
the Western part of Ontario. He visit-
ed Orangeville and this is what the Sun
says of him :-Mr. Ferguson gave one
of his popular musical entertainments
on the Irish Union Harmonic Pipes, in
the Town Hall, on Wednesday evening.
Owing to the shortness of the notice
given, the attendanoe was not as large as
It otherwise would be, or as the excel-
lence of the entertainment merited, but
nevertheless the hall was pretty well
filled with an intelligent and highly ap-
preciative audience. The programme
included selections from Moore s Irish
Melodies, and popular English, scotch,
French and German Airs, in all ef which
Mr. Ferguson displayed the full powers
of the Harmonic Pipes. On this instru-
ment he haa no rival, and the hearty ap-
plause with which every piece was re-
oeived, attested the pleasure and satis-
faction of the audience. Should Mr.
Ferguson visit Orangeville again, he
may rely on haring • "crowded house."

The following report of the Gravel
road and Bridge Coninrittee was read:
Tpe Committee, having examined the
;various documents subutitted to them,
report as follows : 1 -That no action be
taken on the petition of William Hut-
ton and other", asking to have Graham's
bridge, near Wingham, rebuilt. 2 -In
reference to the Clinton bridge, on the
London Road, referred to in the Engi-
neer's reportAthe Committee recommend
that the contract be let at once, and
that the bridge he built SS eon as pos-
sible. They witted further recoruinend
that it he built -with atone aleitnients,
with a small Wee Truss superstructure
erected thereon. With regard tO‘ the
Exeter bridge. the Co:inmate reoom-
mond that the abutment be rebuilt next
summer. With rCeard to the Brussels
bridge, it is reconimended that this En-
ginetir let the contract for building new
bridge: ea 80011 as convenient, and that
the abutments be of stone, built in a
substautiel manner, with a small -Howe
Trum superstructure erected thereon,
and of a sufficient width, but not to ez-
ceed 22 feet at the extreme width. With
reference. to the Bannockburn bridge,
we recommend that • new superstruc-
ture be rebuilt as soon as practicable.
In reference to_the bridge between Hay
and' Stanley, as the repairs appear not
to be of • pressing nature,the Committee
recommend that it be deferred te the
Jaimery meeting. Wit'a reference to
the Itathwell bridge, it it recommended
thee the Engineer's sugeestion be a-
dopted, and that it be du permed with.
Regarding the bridge at '‘.1 urner's mill,
it is recommended that the Engineer
have it rebuilt apthon as practicable. In
reference to the lleridim on the buundary
between Grey and Ilowick, it ream

RAILWAY likely to become an, inde-
pendent line, and it appears that the
Board have been able to secure running
powers from London to Port Stanley
and from Wingham to Kineardine. The
survey and estimates have already
been made for the deviation into Lon-
de* and the Board have abundant
means to build the road. There will be
but little chffinulty in selling or flatting
the bonds with the termini at Kincar-
dine and Port Stanley, making the route
about 130 miles in length and through
--Rot ene of the best -bet Witholli doubt
the best agricultural portions of On'
tario. The freight and passenger traf-
fic on this line when mute built must
pay better than any other single line in
the same distance le Ontario if we at all
consider the large surplus which is year-
ly exported from this section of country.
Should the projected continuation of
the Ontario and Quebec Railway from
Port Perry to Goderich become a fact,
(and which we earnestly hope it will),
it would have the direct effect
of opening up an extent of country in a
direction which no other road has yet
done or can do, and will else have ,the
effect of increasing the facilities for end
producing a much betferclass of farmers,
thereby Increasing the quantity a pro-
duce, probably in tines three fold, and
even mere. The great number of lines
of Railway which it would cross would
beoome feeders to it with produce for
the•east while it in turn would feed the
other lines with iniportations
all kinds of freight, snd tioderich being
the Western terminus would receive an
impetus in the way of .prosperity which

acconiplished fact, Godericli would be
in the direct line of the carrying trade
of the far west and a vast amount of
business would of neceasity be done.
Tfie principal Railroads through the,
County of Huron once completed, no
other section of Ontsrio could offer inch
facilities to farmers, and as a cense.
quence to ntanufecturers of agriculturel
implements ; also the Salt interest
would of necessity be increued by tlie
opening up of a greater amonct of terri-
tory and better markets, and probsbly •
lessening in rates of freitilit. We fear
however that the largo amount of money
which will be needed will be very diffi-
cult to Se got, but the benefits to be de-
rived would warrant the granting of2a
large bonus. The competition which
the different lines would necessanly cre•
ate would bring the rates of freight to
just a paying peint and the better and
more economical martagament of every
Rail Road would be a certain reault.
The question of giving a liberal bonus
by the County or rather by the farmers
in the Coniny should not be thrown
lightly aside, every Rail Road that is
made gives more than treble the henefit
to them then it doe& to any other class
in the community.

To the Editor of tie Hurito
DICAR SIR, -You deserve the thanks
both of the people of Goderich and ef the
farmers living in its vicinity for the in-
dependence you have manifested in your
endesvuurs to point out tho shortcouo,
ings of the produce buyers of -your oorn .
As another illustration of the panie
evil I may mention that yesteraky 1
went to r lielench with a load of pork
which I sold for 15.15 per cwt., upon
the assurance of the • purchaser that that
wax the highest price going that dal.
My two nearest neighbours in the direc-
tion of Clinton went -the seme day to
that village with pork end received, the
one at the rate of 115.60. per cwt., and
the other, whose hogs- wore about the
same weight aa mine received at the rate
of ro75 per cwt., a ditthrence in price
hich 111 had received fur tutine, weeld
have added 54.3.; to my receipts ou that
load, a little too much for the nleasure
of viewing that beautiful structure the
thederich market house. While I arn
writing I niieht mention another cir-
cumstance which happened to me onthe
28th of last October. I went re, Gederich
on that day with a load of wheat and ori
going to the market could find no one
whatever to make me an offer. After
some difficelty I found one individual
who as a favour would pay me $1.05 per
bush. foc the same kind ef wheat 'which
I had sold in Clinton a few days previ-
ously foi 11.12, and for which 1 could
actually have received on that day 51:15.
Continent is needless. Now Sir, I und
you these facts, for they are suck, not
necessarily for publication iu thie entde
form, but I thiek for the good Of yoiar
town such things should be generally
known and that a speedy remedy be de-
vised, if not,all the railroads that can be
