• THE LONDON, HURON AND -
ARUCE RAILWAY.
The all -absorbing topic of conver-
sation in this section, at the present
time, is the proposed "London, Hu -
''16t _ ron and Bruce Reilwaly.'Letters
are written about it, meetings are
held for the purpose of densidering
and discussing the scheme, and every-
body is talking of it. Although
there ate a few who lookupon the
project with distrust, and profess
their inabiItty to‘see in what way it
is to be a benefit to the couatry ;ye,
. the greater majority are heartily in
its favour, and Will do all in their
petver to encoprage and ad 4e
scheme.
We are pleased to rank ourselves
with the latter class. We -believe
that railway enterpriSes, generally,
benefit the country,110 matterin what
part they may be :ecated, and that
they should receive all du.e encour-
agement We believe that the pro-
posed road from London through the
Counties of Huron and Bruce- will
tend to develop and vastly improve
the large -and fertile tract Of cotmtry
through which it will pa.se. We also
betiere that if this railway be ex-
tended threirgh the Northern town-
ships of Haven and the feefet town-
ships of Bruce, to Lake Huron, that
it will pay, and pay went as a finan-
cial speculation. True, 4 cannot be
built without entailing cOnsiderable
pense upon the municipalities
through 'which it may pass. But we
hold the t this outlay will be much
more than made -up to the people by
the advantages it will confer upon
-theta. Now, even supposing that
each farmer holding one hundred
acres of land in any of the townships
throagh which the road may pass be
°required to pat', an annual tax of $8
for twenty years, in order to build
the road, would he net make at least
three ti es th•at amount br haviug
a market fcr his produce- within .4
few miles of bis door, instead* of re-
quiting to 'team k -fifteen or twenty
miles? Those who are noav conve-
nient to rail waycommunication will
likewise be benefited; as it will not
only give them a choice of mar-
kets, bat a choice of roads as
well, so that they will not at all
times be at the merey of any one
railway company. If sane does net
give -satisfaction, they have the pri
vilege of using another., To the South-
ern townships of the county it will;
iinmistakea.blybe a benefit; but miot-e
especially will it an • iuestimable
boon to those of the North. Tothem
it will not only give a' convenient
-market for their produce, but an out-
let and a market for the almost in-
exhaustable supply of timber with
vehich their country abounds, and
which is now valueless, simply be-
cause there is no means of sending it
to market. The majority of the peo-
'ple kiibw all this, they see the ne-
cessity of a road,' and the benefit
which it will be to them, and they
are willing to contribute liberally
towards its construction. •
Much, however, as this road, wiJI
benefit the farmers of Huron, itrill
be of much more service to the7peo-
ple of London.' In fact to them it '
is almost -a necessity. This being
theicase, it behoves them to be up
and doing,—to strike the iron while I
it is hot. They*are the ptomoters of I
e scheme, and will derive the !

EUROPEAN WAR SUMMARY,
Below will be found a daily digest
of the telegraphic , news, anent the
Franco -P, russr n War.
1 T URSDAY.
The reports f be military oper
ations along the river Loire are of ti
somewhat contradictory character,
,both -sides, as usual, claiming the ad.
stantage ; but it is clear that the
French are ity no weans as badly
beaten as represented by the tele-
grams received through Prussian
channels. On the contrary, they are
evidently offering a determined re
eistance in their slow retreat before
the enemy The defence has been
desperate,- but the French have not
been routed as iepresented some days
ago. The situation is considered so
good by Gambetta that he has -de-
• cided to go to Bourgesto inspire life
and actiyity into the second army,
and improve its organization. DiAu-
relies' army fought well in the en
gagement neat Beaugency, holding
their ground bro,vely for four hours,
and.at last retreating in good. ordet.
One correspondent says that for three
days Prince Frederick Charles was
repulsed, but in the end he gained'
the advantage The Parisians still
manifest every disposition to hold
out to the last When Bitmark's
overtures come time ago were re-
ceived, there was a siight disposition
on the part of Mr. Picard to endea-
vour to effect a peacefularrangement;
but Gen. Trochu eloquently pointed
'out the conscious weakness of the
Prussians, and insisted that there
were excellent preepects for France
if Paris would but resist the invaders.
• His advice prevailed. It is said the
oom bardment ot Paris has been fixed
positively for December 19, next
Monday, so that the karisians will
pass a stranee Christmas and New
Yea-. Phaaourg, a fortress in the
Vosges, has eurrendered.
PRIDAY. .
There are rumours that General
Trochu has made anothei grand she -
tie, in greater force and with mere
steecessfill results than attended the
laSt desperate attempt; out no par-
ticulars are furnished. The people
i
at Bordeau were immensely excited
avourable reports, and were
by the sudden change of for -
their side, though they may
pre pare Tor disappointments. A -Lon-
don telegrar11 announces that the
Prussians have certainly ocCupied
Blois, but the statement that the ad.
vance guard had occupied a subarb
of Tours is denied. They have pur-
chaeed their advantage dearly, as the
losses of Princ Frederick Charles's
army in the engagemts between Or-
leans and Blois are . reported to be
enormoes. He evidently; finds the
1
eneuntr nuch stronger than he ex-
pected, as .General Manthuffel has
ueen yeealled from' his advance on
Havre, in order, it is said, to go to
the assietance cf Prince Frederick
Chariese The inhabitaets of Havre
have this, for the present at least',
escaped the urpleasant intrusion of
the tonquerers. Montmedy has sur-
rendered, the walls baying been
breached by a heavy fire of solid shot.
It is imported that food is scarce, in
Paris, and that 'there are seritme
(panels between French officials of
high rank. These reports are from
Prussian sources, and there is good
reason for the complaint of the "In-
dependence Beige" that of late the
• Prussian reports have lost their cha-
racter for truthfulness. Both par
ties are endeavouring to place mat-
ters in the most favorable aspect for
themselves, with little regard for
veracity.
-
The New Year is to be ushered in
to the Parisians by the commence-
ment of the long -promised- and fre-
quently deferred bombardment from
the cordon of the Prussian batteries.
. .
The guns now mounted are said to
be effective, and there is a scarcity
of atnu kiwi owing to the bad state
of the rads preventing the necessary
supply lbeing brought forWard.—
Heavy siege guns have not been
placed around Paris from the same
cause. Strange and terrible wP1 be
the New Year greetings of two of the
most highly civilized nations of the
world, in view of the beautiful city
where only a short time ago there
was a' grand demonstration of the
truth that " Peace hath her victories
no less than war." The Parisians
are iepresented tobeyhta

sorties, believing that
they will make the Prussians un

npon the Prossians, who are retreat-
ing. The commandant of Toors,who
got frightened and abandoned that -
place before the enemy appeared,
has been displaced. A court of en-
quiry rs to investigate the cause of
the surrender of Strasbourg and
Metz. This is merely a formal pro-
ceeding as far as the brave Ulrich is
concerned; but respecting Bazaine
it is said the result will be Serious.
The Marshal can, however, feom his
place, of safety, complacently watch
the proceedings of the courC and re-
ceive the verdict with indifference.
TUESDAY.
Count Bismark has clearly never
heard the song "Woodman Spare
that free !" as he has ordered the '
destruction of the fine forests at Ver-
sailles and other places around Paris.
However this may be regretted, the
present result will, it is said,' be be-
neficial, as affording fuel for the
poorer classes of the ,French. The
Prussians have abandoned Amiens,
promisieg, however, to return at an
early day. Besides this movement
and the concentration of the Pros-
- sians in the valley of the Loire, there
have not been any military events of
-much importance.
WEDNESDAY.
The Prussian advantage gained at
Nuits is out of the principal theatre
of the war, and will not have any
imp trtant effect upon the results of
the campaign. The general impres-
sion formed from perusal of the war
telegrams is that the Germans are
.
getting tired of the wae, and the spir-
ited aaid obstinate resistance of the
French, which was not apparentiv
expected. The Prussians are said
to be retiring before the Lo;re army;
and the forces around Paris are re-
ported to entertain apprebensiins
lest Trochu shculd again assume the
offensive.
