; Any way you will not be, misled by the

the young Duchess's expeditious feat.
'She has yet to make herself popular with

bit of gossip for exactly what it is worth,
andI do not ask you to consider it anee

drills of all sizes, and the length of the
drills taken in depended on the width.
They also took three aVerages. The
practice of judges for other societies has
been to measure off a square piece, and to
take in four drills in width, irrespee ive
of the width of the drills ; and also 'oily
took one average. The difference in the
figures given by different sets of judges,
is thus accounted for by the differe ice
in the modes adopted for measurement.

We find that carrot, mangold and, tur-

cept those of Mr. James Dickson, where
the rows for both carrots and mangelcls
are not quite 21 inches apart, thereby.

American Railways.
It appears from t. statement, recently
published in Amen i an Railway journals,
that the effects of t e panic iu Septem-
ber, 1873, have no ceased toinfluence
the 'finances of nited States Rail-
waye.. .On let J. nuary, 1874, there
were eighty-nine ailways which had
made default, in he payment of in
tercet on their unded debt The
nehcle amount of bonds on which
default was ! madu was $386,403;668.
That Dumber I has ow been reduced to
one hundred tnci e ght ; and the whole
amount of bonds or which interest has
been passed * now $497,807,660. It is
estimated- that $1 0,000,000 of these
bonds, or 30 per cc t. of the whole,. are
held" in foreian co ntries. Only about
one-fourth of these ines are likely to end
in foreclosure and t ital bankruptcy ; the
rest are all either eeking to fund their -

The Stratford nd Huron Rail-
a,y.
The President lel Directors of the
Stratford and Lakej Huron Railway ad-
dressed a large meeting -of the ratepayers
of Listowel and vi linty on Oct. 28, in
order to ascertain itheir -views l with re-
spect to a beams. ll1he ratepayers unan-
imously declared tleir unwillingness to
entertain any otheui scheme than the or-
iginal one of a Graid Trunk connection
with Stratford until jthis scheme was shown
tobe impractible. e followingeesolntion
was moved by Mr. LW. C. Lewis, of Wal-
lace seconded by lr. George. Draper, of
Listowel, Resolv41, that having heard
the addresses of the President ard Direc-
ters of the Stratfoed and Lake Huron
Railway, and tindilng that they have DO
practicable schemes we desire to expreets
ourewant of sympiithy with any scheme
other than the original one of a Grand
Trunk connection with'Stratford if it can
possibly be obtaine 1." This is- the first

kicked badly.
The City of Winnipeg.
For a-placeof three thousand inhabi-
tants, the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba,
is pretty well provided --with tradesmen
and merchants, as witness the list -given
below. In 1860, the only store there be
that of the Itudson Bay Company
was a log shanty, and there was but one
hotel. Now there are- 10 grocery stores,
4 dry goods stores 4 hardware tstores, 2
watchmaker's sho )s,. 5 book gores, 19
general gores, 3 dug stOres, 4 furniture
• stores, 2 tobacco s$ores, 3 boot and shoe
stores, 2 fur store, 6 bakeries and con-
fectithiees shops, milliner's shops, and
to end. up with, 6 newspapers. But it
must be borne in mind that these vari-
ous concerns find customers from among
a much larger" constituency than the
town alone. The population of the
Province is some seventeen- thousand,
and the most Of its trade is tributary to

Of your valu.able paper, and never seeing mer of North Dunwich, was driving
anything in it from our thriving little some cattle to t
village, I have been led to wonder how it
is. It cannot be because there is noth-
ing to write about, neither is it because
there is no person competent of writing.
I think we can compare favorably with
any of the surrounding vdllages, both in
improvements and enterprise, and for our
future prospects of imparvenaent, I Think
we are not behind, having ithe Toronto,
Grey and Bruce railway running through
the village. The station being located
at rather an inconvenient distance from
the village, the people thought they
would be the better of a siding in the
village for storehouses, and made arrange-
ments with the Company for one. The
village was ,to do the grading and the
Company to complete -the work. Accord-
ingly the people went to work, assisted
by. a large number of farmers (shewing
that the farmers of Howick have an
interest in Gorrie) and the grading is now
completed and the rails will be laid down
in a few days. The ground for several
Istorehoules has been bought, and some of
them are now in course of erection.
, When these improvements are completed,
there will be a splendid opening for grain
buyers, as there is aS good a grain grow-
ing country round Gorrie as there is in
the Dominion. The village is also well
supplied with manufactures, having two
first-class saw Mills, two shingle mills,
one planing mill, a foundry,—in which
there is now new machinery going in—
and a first-class grist mill with merchant
bolt. The mercantile business is well
