!rant to come at all. Already, although
only about two months since the project
_ was first mooted, railwayoffices had been
opened in London, engineers have • been
employed, anti had commencedwoik, and
'' -all that was now wanted to ensure entire
success, was the hearty co-operation of
the municipalities through Which the
road would pass, and which it would -be-
nefit. A ter con sinerable further re-
marks Mr. !Anderson resumed his seat,
his plain, business -like, and unassuming
speech having created an excellent im-
pression upon the Meeting.
Mi. McGivern, President of tbe Wel-
lington, Grey & Bruce Railway was the
next speaker, but we have not room far
a report of his remarks, vrtich were, in a
great- measure a rehash of the i e.narks
made by his predecessor, Mr. Brown.
Mr. Messer, Reeve of Turnberry, was
next called open, he said that the meet-
ing had heard both sines, it was for•them
to judge which of the schemes would
serve them best. In his opinion. epealt•
ing as a ratepayer, he wouldigive his de-
cision in favor of the Harnilto,n road, be-
cause he considered jt the best outlet for
both grain and stock. Hee also consider-
ed its location best suited to the town-
ship of Ttirnberry. The London road,
come what way it would, conic' only have
one station in T-urnberrywhereas by the
other there would be three. . Even the
prospects, he considered, of the Hamilton
road better than the London, as, the let-
ter road runs through a considerable tract
of country, the people of which havevery
_ little interest in it, or need for it, where-
as the former will traverse the townships
of Howick, Turnbereye Wawanosh, and
others, which are in reality, much in
need of railway coMmunication. Tne
London road, it was said, would cost $5,-
000 per mile to build and equipit, where -
3.8 the other could be built for about $6,-
000 per mile,theeq-uipnient beingnirnish-
ed by the Great Weatern Railway, and
consequently not costing the company
anything. Notwithstanding, however,
, that the London road cost 80 much less,
he would give the ektra $1000. per mile
' to the Hamilton road, as he believed the
, people would be atleast that much bet-
ter served by it. If the Hamilton people
delayed, he would then go in for the
- London scheme. The people' of this
country wanted a railway, z-•nd they were
bound to have it. He would therefore
adviae the people to give assistance to
the roan which'would have the first en-
gine run into Wingham, • I
Mr. Patterson of Brentfordnext spoke,
' eernestly advocating the interests of the
Wellington, Grey and Bruce, ann strong-
ly advising the people to have nothing to
do with any other.
Mr. C. Tait Scott, Deputy Reeve of
Turnberry, said. that the people wanted a
railway. His synipathies were in favor
of the road that would go to th sea -board
as the bulk of the products of is Olin -
try naturally went nenhat direction. If
however, We don't get the broad u'age
road, he would favor 'giving a bonos- to
the first nompany that would hare !their
a! road op ned and in running order to
Winglr .
Mr. Campbell, of Lacknow, also spoke
in favor of the 'Wellington, Grey and
Bruceroad.
Mr. Currie of Wawanosh, favored a
roal that would lead direct to the East-
ern market. His township would give a
good reasonable bonus to any road which
would first give railway facilities.
Mn Stewart, one ef the Directors of
the Wellington, Grey and Mime, also ad -
'dressed the meeting.
Mr. Lewis Brace said. they should not
, forsake the Wellington, Grey and Bruce,
as it was the second °tithe list which ap-,
plied.
Mr. Peter Fisher. sp.id that if when he
first came to this secti zi of country some
June or ten years ago any person had
predicted that no w there would he two
respectable railway companies anxious to
run a road through their village, they
would have been considered fit subjects
for the Lunatic Asylum, 13ut since then
times had changed, and he could assure
,• the railway gentletnen present that
whiehever party should be fortunate
enough to have their road. run through
Wingham would not have a lean bone to
pick, as here there was as good water
power as could any place be found, and
the milling and manufacturing interests
were not to be despised. He considered
the Hamilton or Guelph route the natu-
ral one for the products of this 'country.
Mr. D. D. Hay, of Listowel, was the
last speaker. Mr. Hay spoke favorably
a the Hamilton scheme; •
1 At the conelusion a resolution wet
palmed. expressing the preference of the
meeting for the Wellington, _Grey and -
Bruce, and pledging the meeting to give
a liberal bonus to the first railway which
would pass through Wingham. After
votes of thanks to the Chairman, Secre-
• tary, and the two depatatioes, the meet-
ing disperted.
THE AINLEYVILLE MEETING.
On Friday, the 23rd inst., the day fol-
lowing the Wingham meeting, a largely
attended and most enthusiattic gathering
was held in Armstrong's Hotel, Ainley -
vine: The object of this meeting was to
give the London deputation an opportu-
nity of laying before the people. of the
Townships of Grey and \morns the bene-
fits to be derived from the construction
of a railway,. front London through the
County of Huron to Leke Huron; also
- to elicit from the people of these Town-
anips, an expression of opinion as to the
propriety of granting aid. to suck an en-
terprise. The meeting Was organizedAy.
appointing John Leckie, Esq., Reeve- of
Grey, chairman., and J. R Grant, Esq.,
Secretary.
The chairman, in opereng the meeting
said, there was no difference Of opinion
=pest the people of this section of the
esnint7y with regard to the nepessity of
- railway communication, the only differ-
ence of -opinion being as to which of the
proposed roads support should be given.
He had attended the meeting held 'M
Wingham yesterday, in the. interests of
the , Wellington, Grey and Brace Railway,
and he must say that a more miserable
attempt to burk an enterprise. than that
-which the Hamilton people were making
he never knew. These people claimed
that they had a prior right to this terri-
tory, and that they were deterrniued to.
keep out all competitors, but for his
part he had never seen in any of the pub -
c prints or elsewhere a single word,
about building their branch to Kincar-
dine until the Loudon scheme had befl,rt
epoken of. The conduct of the Hamilton
gentlemen at the meeting at tt ingham,
, showed plainly that they were not in
earnest, and that they Were afraid to dis-
cuss the subject, for they would not al-
low a single loCal man who was unfavor-
able to their achemo to speak at their•
meeting, or have anything to say, --they
choked us all off. The chairman collect

they only 'succeeded in carrying i resolu-
tion to the effect that the first road
through would get the bonus. - This was
all the London people wanted. Mr.
Williams went on to show the superior
advantages which London pJseRsed as I;
market, and instanced. the fa that the
mills in London were now idle or Want
of grain. He stated that when Mr.
Brown said that his Company- intended
building a branch to Kincardine. he
stated what he knew to be f Ise'as he
hada telegram in his pocket fr mAlder-
man Dakin, of the Great West rn Board,
tating that that road would t ke no in-
terest in - any branches of th the Wel-
in on, Grey and Bruce Bailw y. Mr.
W Hams anto referred at seine length to
he advantages of a narrow gu e over a
road.
We regret much that th space at
ur disposal forbids us givi a nore
f this gentleman's remar s We
hall, however, on a future occasion
.efer to the points which he touched
upon with refeienee to gua te, Aic.
Mr. N. M. Livingston, i a neat
nd argum<mtative speeeh, referred
t some length to the benefits which
railway would confer po the
eople, and the advantages f h ving
irect cotaniunie-ation wit ood
Markets, and the benefit of av ng a
iine which would _compete it the
rand Trunk. Mr. Livii gstene's i
emarlis were well received, an, had
good effect.
Mr. Kelly, Reeve of Urn is, was
ell satisfied -with the expl tna ions

cost more to the parties conce ed than i
they were to put their hands • to thei
pockets and pay out the amou ef requir
ed. Although he approved'of tocial par
ties among the tnetnbers of a c urch, h
considered that meetings suchi as this
for raising money, looked as ifl the pee
plt who attended were willing to give
few shillings for a cup of tea, a ew cake
and the cause of God, whereas hey were
not willing to git e so much for he cause
of God without the tea and cake After
some further remarks. the rever nd gen-
tit man brought his address to a close all
resumed his seat.
Rev. Mr. Huilburt was thene t speak -
en He delivered a most hum rous and
entertaining aeldrees, which ke t the t..u-
elience convulsed with laughj,er through -
.out. Notwithstanding its hum rolls na-
ture, however, it contained, as r. Hurl-
burt's asldreseesalways do, ni ny good
and profitable lessons, which were well
calculated to instruct as well as please.
The reverend
gentleman congratulated
the congreeation on the remarkable pro-
gress the had matte within the past
few years) He said that he remembered
well,when his friend the Chai an had
the blues ery_badly over the rame of
this-chutc ,. but he, the apes er, had
more' faith in the undertekingt an many
others, an the present flouris ng state
of the con regation ?showed that his faith
had not be n misplaced. The M thodiets
were rema kable more for thedi ersity' of
ways in w jell they managed to procure
ways and eans than for the v y large
contributi ns which they made. Protes-
tant deno • mations have been b oken up
into a ve great number of ections,
and altho gh we all ht Id the 82 e cardi-
nal truths. yet we have out own section--
al interest:, and we can't help i . The
time may ome when there wi be an
Gutward u ion of all those who ove the
Lord Jesu Christ in sincerity and in
truth. T e great convulsion w ch blew -
the Christilan church into so m y differ-
ent fragme ts has not yet been entirely
overcume, aut it is gratifying know,
that those everal fragment a ar becom-
ing day by day more united. '1 e rever-
end gentle an then went on to peak of
t
the influen e of association, and idvocat-
ed the prin iple of making place of lwor-
ship, as -w 11 as places of residence at-
tractive, i • order that the after associa-
tions of th e places might be re ember -
ed with pl asure. There is 80 ething
in the "1 fluence of Associa on " as
lasting as 1 fe-tune. For i tstan .e, if a
man were o go into a very on leasant
pla,ce,the ould not go into it ve y often.
