VOL IV.-NO. 33. ) ®bc ©rforrh ©ribnitt, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1877. Wb print in this issue a report of tho meeting held in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening last for the discus­ sion of the proposed additional aid to the Credit Valley Railway. The matter, as we have urged before, should be made a careful study by every ratepayer. Mr- Noxon was the principal speaker on the occasion, and his remarks, although of necessity somewhat lengthy, give a lucid explanation of the projiosed By-Law and the .agreement thereto attached for the exchange of the debentures of the town for* the bonds of the Company. The arguments of Mr. Noxon in favor of the scheme were not successfully met by its opponents in any one particular, and he showed plainly that the requirements of the town demanded increased railway competition if we would keep pace with otherbusincss centresin the march of pro­ gress, and that by making the proposed grunt we were not paying too deatly for the relief which this scheme was to bring in Thus view should settle the question in the minds of the ratepayers and we feel convinced, that upon a care­ ful and unbiased study of the matter before them they will arrive at the same conclusions. Tho time to." *he election is fixed for Monday, the 6th of August, and we hope every voter in the town will be prepared by that time to record his assent in favor of the scheme. It is desirable to make ftc vote as large nnd decisive os possible, and although there may be some opposition yet we have no fears that it will be strong enough to negative tho By-Law, but we would urge upon all who take an interest in the wealth and progressive prosperity of the town to record their votes, and run up the majority for the By-Law to ns high a figure as possible. By so doing they will strengthen the hands of the promoters and the Com­ pany, and as the eye of all tho Muni­ cipalities along tho line of tho proposed route are turned towards Ingersoll at the present moment a large und . decisive majority will have great weight with them in’ deciding what action they will take. From a careful scrutiny of the votes wo feel morally certain that the By-Law will be carried, and the only question now is, by how large a majority shall it be carried 1 For the reasons given above we hope it will be as large as possible and so nearly a unanimous vote that it will give no uncertain sound. ikirto nLtatit, * boMtUol marine. »i« 14x10, In srrai.deiusd; uHUakta ifturfc«C, WhiuMrwnUdM,‘gk.iH.r4.ra* AL the B O O K JOB PRINTING I H Into I Unequalled Facilities INGERSOLL, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY. JULY 25, 1877 Tila Teleoraph bring* us repirta of the devastations, destraction of property and loss of life by the railway atrikra in tire United States. At Pittsburg’on Sat­ urday and Sunday these strikes culminated in a terrible crises, tn that city the utmost anarchy prevailed, and it was given up to bloodshed, incendiarism and pillage. All kinds of railway property fell a victim to red-banded ferocity. The torch was applied to buildings and long trains of cars loaded with oil, coal and other mer­ chandise. The armed mob put the mili­ tary to flight, and a general scene of con­ flagration, sack and murder ensued. The hillside overlooking the city was dotted with tho dead and dying. On the track and adjacent to it there were three miles of continuous flame and fire. The total loss of property is estimated at 84,000,000, and over 100 people are reported killed and wounded. A regiment of soldiers were driven to bay in a round house, and ferocious attempts were made to burn them alive. Military reinforcements are hastening to the scene of carnage, and the War Department is all activity. It is pre­ pared to declare Pennsylvania, Maryland and Wert Virginia in a state of insurrec­ tion. On Monday the insurrection spread with rapidity to lines of railway in other States. The trains on tho Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad were left by the em­ ployees, and the Toledo and Wabash men struck in sympathy. A 8150,000 bridge was burned on the Lebanon Valley Rail­ road. In east Buffalo extensive disorder commenced, and worse was threatened. Trains were abandoned on the Ohio and Reading Railroad, and troubles began on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern. There is n most general railroad blockade at Erie, Penn. A general strike is threat­ ened by the New York Central men. Gen­ eral desolation is reported at Pittsburg, and there have been further collisions and slaughter. The Hornellsville strikers have made an offer of terms, and the Federal authorities aro reported now as taking de- eisivf action, This is a more summary of the terrible work that has been done, and we fear the end is not yet.

Hard Tim: WHOLE NO. 18» The Ext raordinabt ovations in honor of Sir John A Macdonald which have taken place during tbe Inst few weeks, tell fa tale as to the general opinion of the country regarding that gentleman. Never before iu the history of Canada has such a spontaneous burst of enthusiasm been manifested on behalf of a single individual, end be, too, not in a position to offer any thing to bis followers as an inducement or reward for those popular outbursts of en- : thu»ia*m. The late ovation in Montreal ; seems to have been unprecedented in tbe 1 magnitude and brilliancy of -display, and ' this in a city whose members were elected i *s the avowed supporters of the present 1 Government. That a change in public . sentiment is pervading the people no un­ prejudiced person can deny, and this change, like the lump of leavan, will soon • permeate the whole body politic. That a change is nocessary no lover of bis coun­ try can deny, as the incompetency and political dishonesty of llis men now in power has bo thoroughly disgusted even their own supporters, that a change iu tbe pertonel of our administratora is looked forward to M a necessity iu the interests of our country. Thera ovations in honor of Sir John point most unmistakably in that direction, and prove that all the efforts made by hi* political opponents to destroy him have been the mean* of placing him in such a position before the *l*cvor* a* to enable him to show up the wretched mis­ management at those at present in power, proving by comparieon tbe distressing contrast our country present* by their un- patriotic and extravagant administration of sffairs over th* time when b* so ably dis­ charged the duties of Primo Minuter over a prosperous, happy asd contented peopl*. Tbe time is near when ho will again bo sailed to the stmo poet to dovira a way and means to raise u* out of the stongh of despond brought upon us in a great To tho Editor of the Tiuifxa Eighty Thousand Dollar* for ten miles of opposition railway from Ingersoll to Wood- stock. Four Thousand Eight Hundred Dol­ lars per annum, to be raised from this town by dirtel tajmtion for twenty consecutive years I ! ! Amounting to the snvg little sum of Four Hundred and Eighty Thousand. Who will venture to assert after that that Ingersoll knows anything about hard times. Nevertheless, dealers in iron, grain, cheese and goods, mechanics and laboring men, all cry hard times. Consequently, times mnst be hard. In short, the fact is, baid times universally exist ; factories, refineries aud other industries are fell victims to frre trade and gone to a more genial clime. The country is ovei stocked with form im­ plements, doing the work of farm laborers, thereby driving myriads of men into onr town, only to assist in crying, nothing to do. And now, while tho country is iu such a prostrate state, almost bordering on despera­ tion, we arc solicited to hang eighty thousand dollars on the “ ragged edge of expectation,’’ in hopes to better our condition. Will it do so T Many of onr prominent citizens say it will—they, being largely (some, perhap*, peculiarly) interested, make the wish parent to the thought,—while quiet going taxpayers entertain grave doubts. Hri* too true, that present discriminating railway rates seriously militate against our trade—yet those restrictions overcome by a competitive line—past sxpcrience of other roads, taken in connection with tu and all our surroundings, warrants us in saying, that while one tenth of our freeholder* will be largely benefitted, the other nine-tenth*—who may not happen to be worker* in iron, merchants, traders or pill men—may revel in the cool consolation of being live partners in making up that little fvur thousand eight hundred dollars a year. In conclusion ; ratepayers, think I If y< u cannot <hu>k, get some one to think for yor, ere you vote for a scheme that is more hole-y than righteous, and only intended to fill other pockets than yours, and, when unmasked, will *h >w more side* than one. Fbkxhol dbx. Ingersoll, July 24, 1877. Judging by aPPEakances.—Oa one oc­ casion Webster, the American senator, was on his way to In* duties at Washington. Ha was compelled to proceed at night by stage from Baltimore. He bad no travelling com­ panion, and tho driver had a sort of felon look which produced no inconsiderablealarm io the senator. I endeavored to trauqnilizo myself,*' said Webster, and bad partly succeeded, when we reached thodark woods between Bladraburg and Wash­ ington—a ptoper soen* for mmder or out­ rage—and here, I confess, iny courageagain deserted me. Just then the driver turned to me, and, with a gruff voice inquired my name. I gave it to him.“Where are yon going?” said he. The reply was: “To Washington. I am a sen a lor.”Upon this the driver seised me fexvently bytbe band, and exclaimed : “How glad I am t I have been trembling iu my eeat for tbe last hour ; for when I looked at you Itook you to ba a highwayman.” From Rev. Richard Eves, of Bolton Maes.

The Mayor read the 1 requisition, asking him to call the meeting, ' and then desired tho meeting to appoint a ' Chairman and Secretary. On motion, the Mayor was elected Chair- j man, and II. Rowland Secretary. < On taking the Chair, His Woiship said 1 there were pros and cons—some warm for (the By-Law and some warm against it ( The By-Law bad been published, and ] though some minor discrepancies may have 1 crept in, ho, however, thought it was now ] before them in pretty correct shape. On ( this matter ho hoped no ono would allow j prejudice to creep in. Let their aim bo I Ingersoll. This was n matter of groat mo- ■ moot to tho town.

(Applause.) 1 Mr. Duly beirg called for, ho declined to , make any remarks at this stage of the I meeting, but would defer what he might Lave to say until he had beard what wus 1 to be said in favor of tbe grant. Mr. Noxon, on coming to the platform wus loudly applauded. He stated that on an occasion of this kind ratepayers are ex- ' peeled to be treated with oaudor. Ha did not intend indulging in clap-trap assertions, : but only such that would bo accepted and < justified by {acts. It is true that he had ; taken a prominent stand in tho promotion . of tho Credit Valley Railway scheme, and | bis solo object in going into; the Council : this year was to assist to provide some means to bring tbe trado back to ns that ' has been diverted away. Years ago, in the | curly history of Ingersoll, wo had similar , contesW to tbe present, wo bad similar j meetings likewise, to consider whether wo , should grant assistance to build tho gravel j roads that now extend id every direction from tbe town. By the libera’course th< n 1 pursued in providing excellent roadways to our Market wo were able to prosper as few towns have prospered and could compete successfully for tbe trade of this section of 1 tbe country with any of the towns around us. These roads, although still useful to the country, aro now serving to divert busi­ ness from us to other pointe more favored than we aro in cheap railway freights, and I conceived the duly of tho hour with tho people of Ingersoll to be to secure improv, ed railway facilities, that the outward flaw of trado may be arrested and the current’ again turned to our doors. We appear to have closely recognized this duty when four years ago we assisted to obtain a bonus from ths County of Oxford to the Credit Valley Railway Company, in the expectation that they would run their line to 8L Thomaa, but omited to limit the Company as to the time when tho road should bo completed. There were nt that time seven hundred thousand dollars of bonuses voted to the Company by tbe various Municipalities along the line, and now the charge is made that the Co.’y has broken faith with the Municipalities, He could not so regard the action of the Corr* pany. They said they would build tbe road and they still assure u* they will build it, and until they abandon the road orcease to make all proper effort* to secure its con­ struction they caunot be charged with a breach of faith. No definite time was ever fixed when the road would be built, and the very fact that the Company has been manfully contending with and oversom- ing tbe great financial difficulties surround-ing all railways at tho present time is tbe best evidence of their good faith in carry­ing out their engagements with the Municipalities. It is not charged that a single dollar of the bonuses voted has beenmisapplied, but it is ad mi ted that tbe very greatest economy has been practised in building tbe road, and that good value has been received in useful work performed forevery dollar that has been spent. Now what is tbe position of the road? By a return made to the Government of Ontarioit i* shown that 8940,205 have been expend­ ed on it aud that it reonirea 82,137,833 to eomp'bte it. Tbe feaeibiltiy of the Com­pany building the road was so snoseMlully established under the moat Marching in­ vestigation of Mr. Molesworth, tlieEngineer of Public Works for Ontario, , that the Government and Legislature ■granted them a subsidy of 88000 per mile 1 over the whole road. So careful was Mr. I Molesworth in preparing his report to tbe 1 Government on the position of the Com- 1 pany that ba made a personal inspection of 1 tbe work performed, and carefully eeli-mated its value for himself before submit- ing it. Tho Company applied to tbe City of Toronto for a farther bonus of 8250,000to com pls to their financisl scheme a* had been already detailed to Government, and this was granted by the people of Torontoafter the City Council had employed one of- the moot competent railway engineer* in the country to gn over the road andestimate the value of the work done that tho Council might ba eatiafied a* to th*ability of the Company to build the road. After tbe Company baa succeeded in satis­ fying both tboGcvernment of Ontario andll* City of Toronto that they are able to build the road wo certainly may accept tlita point h i having been snflkfontly, demonstrated. Tba Company bar* now 1458.000 of Govarmnent boons, over : 1500,000 of Mnofeipal bonuses, and> 91,624,000 ef bonds (or say in all 1 92,880,000), avaflabte for tbe completion of L tbs road. Now, making all reasonaH*• allowaneas far discount un bonis it most be Himited there to here • safitetentlv• strong financial basis shown to justify very be a heavy, if, any burden upon tbe rate- | payers. In the first place the Town Was i under an obligation to furnish the material Ifor a warehouse and also the right of way < through the Town. # When tho road Was Ibuilt, let it bo sooner or later, tbe Town ’ was under obligation to furnish these two < items—an obligation which cannot be Irepudiated. The Engineers of the road : estimate the cost of the warehouse when i completed to be considerably over 85,000.The right of way into tho eastern part of < tho Town as located by the Company cats , through from twenty-five to thirty different <lots owned in most instances by mtn who have labored for yoars to build up a homefor their families, and would involve a very <large expenditure. In many coses tho road would pass so near to the buildings onthese lots as to destroy their value, aud when yon como to deal with each of those parties by arbitration, it will be found thatthe amount saved by giving the Town the cbeice of running ths road down through the pond an J clearing the most of theselots altogether, it would be not less than 84,000, and probably even more, therefore the amount which appears in theBy-Law as a bonus of 810,000 is not a bonus but an amount offered in commuta­ tion of the obligation of the Town to theCompany in respect to the warehouse and the right of way through the Town. Some persons were led to believe that as soon osthe debentures are issued under thisBy-Law they go to th* Company nnd era applied at onco on theroad. This is not tho cose. Tho deben­tures of the town, a* well as the bonds of tho Company, aro placed into tho hands of threo Trustees appointed by Government,nnd having no interest in or connection with tho Railway Company. These True- tets aro the Hon. John McMxrricb, Hon.G. W. Allan and Howland, of Toronto. No more honorable men are to be foundiu Canada, and these Trustees covenantwith the town of Ingersoll that they will hold tho debenture* of tho town iu trust nnd subject to tho conditions entered intobetween tho town and the Company as to their disposal. Now, the conditions as to their disposal aro that if tho Credit ValleyRailway Company does not grade, bridge, fence nnd furnish with cattle guard* andcnlverta, all being mado ready for the tiesfrom Woodstoek to their «tntion in Inger- soil on er before tho 1st of January, 1878, and does not complete tho said section ofroad up to aud so as to be in a position to make oounection with tbe Woodstock andPort Dover Railway, and doesnot open tho same for traffic on or before the 1st day of September, 1878, then tho said Trustee* aroto hand back to tho town of Ingersoll thodebei t ires depos.ted with them, in trust, for cancellation. It will thus bo s -ou that i «the Credit Valley Railway Co. does not fulfil its agreement by tbe time specified, tho Trustee* covenant to hand tho deben­tures back to the town. More ample security than that not a dollar of tho de­ bentures of the town can bo touched bytbe Company until their road is completedin the terms of their agreement with tho town, it is not possible to obtain. When th* Ran ray Company has completed theiragreement .vitliin tho time specified, then the Trustees ap^°int a day for the exchange of bonds, and ilo.'ify tho town and thoCompany to appear by thoir representa­tives before them, when, li aH parlies are satisfied to relievo the Trustecfi ik'm their trust, the bonds are simultaneously hau.tedto the representatives present. It will ap­ pear by this that every precaution has been taken to protect the internets of Ingersoll,nnd ha knew of no way in which any more ample and complete protection could be secured. Well, the question naturallyarises what are the bonds worth after we do get them? I* there any value we can attach to them ? aud these aro questionsfrequently asked. Wo are best ablo to judge of their value bv comparing them with the bonds of other bonus built rail­ways. Take for instance tbe Toronto,Grey & Bruce Railway, which is built on the bonus system. With all the difficul­ ties encountered by this road, they havebeen able regularly to pay tbe interest on their bonds, aud they ar* quoted in the market at about 75 cents on the dollar.Then again take the Toronto & Nipissing Railway, whoso bond* nre being rapidly taken up at 85 cent* and upwards, and theinterest ou them Iwts been regularly paid. We have toe Whitby A 1'orl Perry Railway meeting the interest ou its bonds punctu­ally, and there is also the Woodstock A Fort Dover Railway paytug interest on it* bonds, and tho sain* selling in Englandfor 84 or 85 cents on the dollar. All of those nre competing railways. Now, not one of them is as favorably located forbusiness a* tho Credit Valley Railway. Not on* of them pass** through tb* same number of populous town* a* are on itsline, and compared with these railways , there can be no doubt of its ability to pay the interest on ita bonds. Tbe bonds, of the town of logvrsoll only rail for 85 cents on the dollar, standing no higher i than the bonds of some of these roads,. nnd I have no hesitation io saying that if , there is a loss at all in tbe exchange ot t bonds it will be so slight as not to be worth. taking into consideration in this oonnee- , tion. He had the opinion of tbe Hon. Mr. k Benson, who expressed hl* confidence in, tbe C. V. Railway paying the interest on . ita bonds, aud who also said that he c>r/ (dially approved of tho exchange, but cau-. tinned against allowing th* d«b«nture* of r tbe town to pass into tbe hand* of the . Company until they had performed theiragreement. Ha had also discussed the matter with Mr. Howland, of tbe ImperialBank, Toronto, and he exprn**od himself to tbe speaker that he would have been glad to . see Toronto take even a largeramount than 8250,000 of th* bond* of theCompany than have given tbe boon* of tba eame amount, aud that in bi* opinion tho towa ef Ingersoll would be perfectly safein taking the bonds of the Company pro­ vided proper care was taken that the town received from tbe Company tbe stipulatedconsideration bafore tbe bonds of the town should paeainto tb* Company'* band*. Hahad great confidence in tb* sagacity aud business sip*ri*noe of these two gentlemeniu *ecUnti*s of the kind, and was firmly ofthe opinion that thar* could be no low to the town in making th* exchange. TbeBy-Law require* that we eball raise six mill* ou the dollar to provide for the Inter­ vet an<l nuking food on tbe debenture*burned under it. Bat it must be remem­ bered that tbe interest th4 C. V. B. Co. isto pay u* ou their bond* will be equal to 8| mill* ou th* Mtar, which will l*ev* only mill* or >8,000 to be raised ou tbe__ * l.sL—.1- Wbv, the banara* granted by the town ofWoodstock to the Wood .took A Fort Dover the property in th* two towns was ahou the same, only a trifling difference between them, but now the assessed vain* of realand personal property and income in tho town of Woodstock is nearly 8400,000 greater than iu Ingersoll. Do we wantany stronger evidence of what a compet­ ing line of railwiy would do for the townof Ingersoll than this ? and yet there has been no increase in taxation in tho town of Woodstock from tbe construction of its competing lino of railway. Our debea- pays only 15 cents per 100 lbs. ortores have twenty year* to run, acd tho] class of good*. Mr. Dan.lM hi rate mentioned in the By-Law io provide a f • ------------------------------------sinking fund would raite th* Whole sum i necessary to pay the debentures in a little (ever thirteen yean, while wo do not re- tSniro to use it for twenty yean. There is tlereforo a margin of seven years which j we can use to favor tbe town until such (time as the (3. V. Railway shall have been completed from Toronto to St. Thomas. I jwould not advise that tho rate ba imposedto raise the sinking fnud until tho road has <been completed its whole length, and When < this times arrives, as it soon will, tho as- > seraad value of the property in tb* town 1 will have sufficiently increased so that the Jsinking fund can bo raised without any in- j sroaso in the present rate of taxation. He ; bad no hesitation in saying that tbe road 1can be constructed without adding to the ] burdens of the town. Even when we do j raise the sinking fund it can be anpliad to jpay existing debentures as they fall duo— < all will agree that these mnst be paid—so i that not a dollar will be needlessly collected , from tho rate-payers. It must be rorncm- ibored that we receive from the Company (ten year 7 per cent, bonds for our 20 year , 6 per cent, debentures, making a gain in ]our favor of 8500 a year. The policy of , the Company iu issuing the 7 per cent. , bonds nt tbe short date, is that it may ba ,an object to the muuicipalitiea to take | them, while at tho end of the ten years ■ the road will ba in a position from its ■credit and standing to issue longer data | bonds at a lower rata of interest to pay thebonds now being issn«d. What is tho inature of these bonds? They are first i mortgage on tho whole property of tho < Company, road, bod, rails, rolling stock !and plant of whatever kind, and iu cojo ihore should bo a failure to pay interest tho jbonds can bo foreclosed, ami tho property of tbe Company sold to satisfy them. Tin road is to be laid with sfetl rails through­out, aud iu case it was sold by the bond­holder* tho rails alone would be worth nearly tbe whole amount of tho bonds ths Oampany has authority to issue. Tho Com­pany can only issue bouds to the amoftnt of 812,000 per mile while tho road when finished will cost 820,000 per mile so thattho town of Ingersoll will hold property to tbe valae of 880,000 in security for tho 850,000 of bonds we tako from the Com-E . At the end of ten years wo shall tho option of either taking onr money f >r tho bonds of the Company or of takingother bonds in their place, nnd when the twenty year* come round and our deben­ tures have to bo paid wo will see the bondsof the Credit Valley Railway a* high in themarket as any other, and can, if necessary, be sold t* payoarowu. Some one had ■aid “Wbat uso was there in exchangingthe debentures ?—Only sit down and do nothing and the railway Will come to ourdoors." In tho next breath they say “What is the uso of exchanging bonds the road will never be built.” He was boundto say that tho parties who uso thesearguments nre not tho true frienls of Ingersoll. They aro tho enemies within more dangerous to tho success and prosparity of the town and its industries than all the enemies without. Tbe kind of argu­ ment used is not that of honest nnd candid men, an'l floe* not need any one to com­bat it. Tho road is certain to bo built from Toronto to Galt. The Company now have two locomotives purchased to go on with the work of construction, and gang* of menare now »t work on that section of tho road. When built to Galt it will wait there until it has bnilt up a traffic and establisheda credit, so as to enable them to uso their bonds to build the rest of tho road. Pro­ bably this might tako five years and mightba ton. In the meantime tho projected Toronto and Ottawa Railway to conu«ct with tho Colonization Railway of Quebectouching the three great commercial centre* Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto connecting with other principal lines, cast and west,would become a fact. Thon we *11*11 have the Canada Southern Railway with its Con­ nections with Manitoba and the Pacificcoast in tho west, and tho Toronto aud Ottawa Railway and its connections with the Northern Colonization and Inter­colonial Railway* to the Atlantic 8*a board io the east; forming another great Trunk line across this continent With theexception of tbe short link of the Credit Valley Railway from Galt to the neerest point on the Canada Southern Railway.Sit down aud wait until this i* accomplish­ ed and the powerful railway Interests in iho east and west beeome paramount to all localinterest*, and the further course of theCfedit Valley ’Railway from Galt will bo dictated by them. In this event is not it*course likely to be on a straight line across to tho Canada Southern Railway and this ' western part of the road altogether aban-i doued. The City ef Toronto wishes con­ nection with New York as well as Chicago by the Canada Southern Railway, aud by1 calling to their aid the City of Brantford, a powerful local influence can be secured to make the rood direct across from Galt asdescribed. Is it wi*e in ns by delay to incur this risk, and this is tho great and threatening danger hovering over Uii* rail­way project that may dash it from ua for­ ever. Once get the Credit Valley Railway Company to build a portion of its line inthe Oouuly of Oxford and we shall have a substantial guarantee that tho lino will go through to St. Thomas. While tbe peopleof Ingersoll are delaying they stand a great Chance of losing their only cbanoe of par­ taking ot the benefits that would accrttefrom such railway connection. If this By- Law is passed there’ is an excellent prospect of getting th* road dompleiedfrom Woodstock to Drumbo next vear, thus making direct oounection with tbeGrand Trunk Railway at that point. It iaalso asked what does it signify building a short line when our prodnea goes to Liver­ pool. When this shortline i* bnilt we ca*then have our good* laid down her* from Liverpool in car load lot* a* cheap a* theycan be laid down in Montreal. It will give us conwction with th* great competing line* of [railway and th* [benefit* accruingtberefrein. It » said that tb* Great Western Railway to now giving »* Londonrate* at lugereoli. This however is only on outward bound freight* and th* in want freights ar* equally important, bnt on thesew* aontinn* to pay full retoa. Ev«n thts fo a anneestion steadily refnaad to th*boauMNO ttiea td I tiger* JI far th* test twenty years, and only onnoeded now to defeat tbe Credit Valley Railway. If,therefore, a tn*r* threat of tbe aoustructfon Woodstock at lower rates than from lu- gersoll, we are male to contribute to their trade and prosperity. AH tbe conditionsof future succewi to the trade of Ingersollare against us soflong as ourcoinpetitors are ' handicaped in the race against us. To <show how this affects our trade, would mention a few instances t Mr. Gayfer pays 1 25 cents per 100dbs. for goods laid down • here from Montreal, while bls competitor j iu the same line ef business in Woodstockpays only locants per J100 lbs. on tbe same ' ---■ - -- L-. ass to pay 81.50 more per hogshead than his compat- ;itor at Woodstock has to pay, and on thisone article in the bands of a single dealer 'the people of Ingersoll pay 880 a year for ! the want of railway competition. Merars. Stuart & King bought a large quantity of peils in Woodstock and Ingersoll, and paid ■2 cents per bushel more for those bought in Woodstock, yet the peas' bought inWoodstock at tbe higner figure, cost 1 when laid down In Liverpool 48 cento per 100 lbs. lo«s than tbe peas shipped from Ingersoll, and bought at thelower figure. Uadci^ these circamitances is it any wonder that Woodstock is pros­pering ? Tho opponents of the By-Law say there is no grain market in iugersoll,and do we need to look further for the reasoa ? Nover more will there be a grain market here until we get oompetition in railway freights. We are not worth?tbe name for spirit And enterprise made by tho people of Ingersoll iu the post if we willingly submit for a day to a system of wrong in railway freights that is fobbing usof our trade. Then take the article of cheese. Early in tho season Mr. Casswell bought a lot of 4,000 cheese, and had onecar load of them delivered in Ingersoll, and had arranged to have the whole lot shipped from hore. When lrt> Went for hisbill of lading for the ear load shipped ho was charged 102s. freight to Liverpool, while at tho same time he was offeredfreight from Woodstock, Norwich or BrownsviKo for 79s., Ha remonstrated against the charge, but in vain. Did hesubmit to it? No. He immediately gave orders to have the whole lot of cheese de­livered at Norwich instead of being brought to Ingersoll) tho result in this one instance being the sending of 130 teams to Norwich instead of coming here. Themoney to pay for the cheese, about 832,000, deposited in the Bank at Norwich instead of Ingersoll. The patrons towhom this cheese belonged, about 400 in number, have to go to Norwich to draw their money instead of to Ingersoll, andin this way a very largo amount of trado is drawn away that legitimately belongs to us. Can wo remain listless and idlewhile our trade is being repelled from us, and not this only, but handed over to rival bnrineas eanlres,that will, in course of time, if the present condition of railway rates continue, crush ns out of exi stance. He is no man whowill not exert himself to rescue tbe trade of the town from the great injustice inflicted upon it, and the only way this can be doneis hv the construction of the C. V. R.. hy which we may obtain competing rates. We can get freight as chenp from Toronto asfrom Hamilton, and from the Eastern Pro­ vince to London a car of Iron costa about 118, and it costs 811 to get it from Lon­don here. No town can long survive the disadvantages under which we labor, and as trade is crippled anddestroyed property will depreciate in value, rente will droop, and labor must seek employment elsewhere. Wehave the power to free ourselves from all our difficulties, and if weavail ourselves of the opportunity now pre­sented in the offer of tho C. V. R. Company wo shall, within tho next twelve months,place the trade of Ingersoll on as favorable a basis as any of the towns or villages around Us—be would say, even morefavorable than that of London itself. Weshall also secure the expendiiurs of a large sum of money in the town and vicinitv within the next few months, which willgreatly help, to tide over the pressnt hard times, while the increase iu tbe value of property that Will follow the constructionof the read will provide all or quite all charges in connection with it. Mr. Norris was the next speaker. Hesaid tho subject should be viewed in a calm and dispassionate manner. Tile clamor and bombast about entorpri^*should have no weight with intelligent men. When yon are asked to put » mortgage of ten per cent, upon your town,you should know who it is that makes this demand. Is it for the benefit of ono rnqnor for tho whole community ? Does Mr. Noxon run this town ? [The demonstra- tinns of tbe audience at this remark folly showed that the meeting were not preparedto have their tint* taken Up with personali­ ties.] The speaker returned by referring to the falling off of the grain trade and tbeconcentration of tbe energies of the farming community in tbe production of cheese. The wealth of tho community was notlessened for tbe farmer* had large balance* to their credit iu the bank*. Tiara was mor* wealth iu the community now tban lh«rowas a fow years ago as is exemplified by the increased banking facilities—now there war* three banking institution* in the town,whereas, only a few years ago there were only two.

Few farmers realize the importance of early sowing, or, in fact, its absolute necessity in tho production of maximum crops. In fur­ therance of this theory Prof. Haborlandt, of Vienna, has long been engaged on a series of practical experiments on the influence of late or early sowing on the yield of summer grown grain. Nine specially prepared plots of ground were'planted with grain at different dates during the months of May and June; all the factsand products were carefully noted, and his conclusions arc thus given: (1) The later the sowing the smaller the crop. This is especially marked in the case of rye and wheat, but less with barley and oats. (2) In direct proportion to this loss in grain is an increase in the weight of straw. (3) Tho quality of the grain falls off in proportion to its quantity, tho absolute weight and tho spcific gravity of tho ears both decreasing. (4) The decreased yield consequent on later sowing is generally attributed to want of moisture at periods when it is most needed. (5) Tho want of moisture is not the only cause, for, even if it be provid­ ed by natural rainfall or irrigation, yet the later sown crops suffer from tho attack of smut, mould and mildew, and their develop­ ment is more hindered by plant lice than earlier in the season. (6) In consequence, tho grain is not only small in quantity and poor in quality, but is also thrown bock in point of time, especially as regards its ripen­ ing. (7.) It is claimed that this retardation in late sown grain is largely caused by the reversal of tho ordinary progression of temperature to which it is subjected. We have nj doubt that plant* should get well started in tho cool,’moist weather of spring, and before the days lengthened and the heat increases, both iu intensity and duration. Tender shoots can better withstand fourteen hours of daylight in early May than the fifteen and one-half hours of sunlight during the last of June. JLOQ m TO, IN ADV ANCE. H. BOWLAND, Prop.

Forming Bupports tho world; it there­ fore, from necessity, must pay; yet few, if any of tbo great interests pay so poorly. It is not that no large crops are raised, or even profitable ones—sometimes very pro­ fitable. Every farmer docs more or less of this. If be did not his farming would soon como to an end. Ho must not only be a producer, but do it at a profit, or tbo in- vestment will fail. Aud what locality has not instances of this?—where land changes it* owncratip from necessity? And yet largo crops may have been grown, and the land not of the worst—oven good iu some cases, ax everyone must know, aud made to pay well as soon as it changed owners. Why then the fuiluro? Thtro are many things, well known, that cont i nite to this. But there arc some that, unexpectedly have a large bearing, and sap the foundation till lhe superstructure falls. How many crops are raised, whether good or poor, that pay not tho expense laid out' on them. The manure, a commercial article, may have been spurious or inferior ; or, if good, not adapted to the soil or crop ; the manure of the farm itself may have been neglected, permitted to wash out its substance, and id-applied in lumps and unevenly. Often late sowing often defeats n crop, or bod barvesting. Iu a wet Beason it is sel­ dom that a paying crop is raised on an un> drained clay soil. It is tLe same in a drouth. In the former cose it is laid to the wet season, when it is the land needing drainage that is tho cause. This is a common error, and defeats many a crop for the ex­ tent of the necessity of drainage is known by comparatively a few. How often do we see crops uusuited to tho land from an ignorance of tbo relations of tho two. There is much more of this relating to the soil. Then we have tlie management of stock, in which often »n equal amount of Iom is sustained. At the present time, with the competition we have, scrubs will not pay, neglect of young stock is a ud loss, though ILtle understood. The prin­ ciple may bo carried farther, so as to cover all that relates to farming, aud in the aggre­ gate the expense overbalances t’je income. Were it not tor the hard labor of the far- aaer—who counts bis work nothing, and •nstains fife—there would be many more failures.

As tho day wore slowly away, her restlessness in­creased, and she p.iccd the floor until herlimbs trembled from weariness. Deliber­ ately she recalled -all the instances of tholong residence at the Parsonage; mid stroveto live again tbu happy season, during wbisli tho young minister hud contributed so largely to hor perfect contentment. Thewhite pots they had tended and carressed togith<r, the books she had read with him, tho favorite passages he had italicized, thesougs ho loved best, tho fluw«rs he laid upon her breakfast plate, and now and thentwined in her hair ; above all, his loving, persuasive tone, quicit, gentle wordi of af­ fectionate couuso', and tender pet namefor her, “my white dove." How fervent had been his prayer that when ho returned, he might find her “un­spotted from the work’.” Wus she ?

She conld think without pam, of Mr.Lindsay seleeting some other lady and learning to love her as his wife, forgetting tlie child Regina; but when she forced her­self to reflect that her guardian would soon be Mrs. Carew’s husband,' tho tUrlnreseemed unendurable. Ua'orking a drawer, she spread before her all tho little souvenirs Mr. Lindsay hadgiven her.

She would never see her guar­dian again, and when ho was married it wonld be siuful even to think of him then, and her duties and new lies most help herto forget him.

Giremo the tetteri.’ Mrs. Orme tossed back her hair which had been unbound, and as tho letters wore placed in her hand, she seemed almost toforget them, so abstracted was the expres­ sion with which her eves rested on thedancing waves of tho Bay of Naples. The noise of the door closing behind Mrs. Waul seemed to arouse hor, and glanc ng at tho let tars, sbo opened one from Mr.PalfDO. Tiie long and harrowing vigil whioli hnd lasted from the moment of Lidding Gen.Laurance^ good-niglit, on tho previous evening, had left its weary tia-es iu thebeautiful fooo; but rigid resolution had also set its stem seal on the compressedmouth, and tho eyes were relentless as tuosoof Irone, waiting for tho awful con- summation in tho Prophyry chamber atByzantium. 'llio apint of revenge had effectually banished nil the purer, holiur emotions ofher nature; and the hops cf nn overwhelm­ ing Nemesis beckoned her to a fearful »nc- nuco of womanly sensibility, but just now, nothing seemed too fajred to bo im­molated- upon tho altar of ber implacable hate. To stab tho hearts of those whobad wronged her, she gladly subjected her own to tlie fiery ordeal of a merely nom mal marriage with her husband’s father, resolving that her triumph shall bo com­plete. Originally gentle, loving, yiddiii" m nature, injustice aud ndversit* hadgradually petrifiad her character; yet beneath t.10 rigid exterior flowed a lavatide, that now and then overflowed its stony barriers, and throatcucd irremo-lu-ui<* ruin. Fully resolved upon the revolting scheme which promised punishmout to thefamily of Laurance, and “ SeL’-xuldoJ with torn * trips of hope,’ she opened the New York letter. The first few lines riveted her attention. She sit erect, leanol forward, with eyes wide and strained, and gradually rose toher feet, clutching the letter, until her fin­ gers grew purple. As she hurried on, breathing like ouo whoso everlasting des-liny is being laid in the balance, n mar­ vellous change overspread her conutc- uance. The bleed glowed in lip and cheek,tho Wild e -arklo sauk, extinguished iu the tears that filled hor eyes, the hardness melted away from the resolute features,and at last a cry liki that of Borne doomed spirit suddenly snat shed from tho horrors of perdition and sot forever at rest uponmoods of Asphodel and Amaranth, rolledthrough th- room. After so,many years of rcckleaa hnpe-tes^nesfi, the transition was overpowering, and the miserable wifo and mother rescued npon the extnmi verge of utter lifelongruin, foil forward upon her knees, sobbing and laughing alt wuatcly. ° From tho Lour when shp learned of herhusbau J’s second marriage, she had cessed to pray, abandoning Lerealf completely tothe cynicism and vindictiveness that over­flowed her soul lik? a wave of Phfogethon ; but now tho f. untain of gratitnda was un­sealed, and s.'.o nour-d out a vehement, pxwfonato thanksgiving to Gdl. Alter­ nately praying, weeping, smiling, sheknelt there, now and then re-reading nor- tions of the letter-', to nssnr-herself that it was not a more blessed dream, nnd atlength when the strai.-i relaxed, she droppid her head on a chair, and like a spent feeble child, cried heartily, unre­strainedly. Mr, Palma wrote that 'iffter rears of fruitless effort he had succeeded in obtain­ing from Puleg Peterson a full retraction of !tie charges male ngninst hor name, w.iercby Gen. Liurancn hnd prevented a suit against bis son. P'denion hal madenn affidavit of certain facts which nobly exonerated her from tlie heinous imputa­tions with whch she was threatened,should sbo attempt legal redress for her wrongs, and which moved that the de­ fence upon >h c!i Gen. Lnuranc« reliedwas tho result of perjury and bribery. In addition to the recantation of'Pcter- son, Mr. Palma communicated the joyfulintelligence that Gerbert Aadro, who wns believed to have been lost off the Labra­ dorcoast fifteen years before, had been dis­covered in Wa hi igton, where ho was oc­ cupying a clerical desk iu one of tlio de­ partments ; and that be had furnishedconclusive testimony as a wilness of the marriage, and a friend of CuthbertLaurance. The lawyer had carcfu’lv gathered allthe necessary links of evidence, and was prepared to bring suit against CuthbertLaurance, for desertion and bigamy; as­ suring the long-*sff?riug wife, that her name and life would be nobly vindicated. Within bis letter wus oue addressed toMrs. Orme by Peleg Peterson, and a por­ tion of the scrawl was heavily underlined. ‘ For all that I have revealed to Mr,Pelma, aud solemnly iwora to, for this clearing of yonr reputatation, you mar thank your child. But for her I shouldnever have declared the truth ; would havegone down to tbt» grave, leaving a blot upon you ; for my conscience i« too d*s-lto trouble me, and I hale you, Minnie IHate you for the wreck you helped to mike of mo.

It is to clear her, and give herttio name she is entitled to, that at last I have spokm the truth. She i» a noblebrave girl, too good for you, too good for her father; far too good to own Rene Lew- rance for for grandfather. When be seesthe child he paid me to claim, he will notneed my oath to satisfy him, U*at iu body, she is every inch a Laurance ; but where•he got her white soul God only knows, e-rtemly it is neither Merle nor Laurence.You owe your salvation to your ■weet,brave child, at* 1 have no causo to thank me, for I shall always hate you.’ Had some ministering Angel removedfrom her han Is tlie bemiocks of that ioatb- some vean ceuee she bad contemplated, andsubstituted the nectar of how* and joy, the renewal of a hfo unclouded by the dread at Aingnan that had hung over her like a pallfor eeventeen yearn ? When gathering her garments about her *0 plunge into a darkgulf replete with seething horror, a strongband lifted her away from the fetal ledge and she beard the voiee of h®r math call­ing her to the almost forrotten vale ofp-oce; while supreme among th* thronging Ytstow of toy, gioamed the fair firoe of her blue eyed danghter. II1d she brev utterly a monomania that would finallyhava ended in downright madness? Once uominaDy the wife nf the man whom «U« so thor­oughly abhorred, would not reason have fled before the horrors to which she linkedherself ? The rebelliuue bilternesa of hersoul melted away, and a fervent gratitude to Heaven fell like dew upon her arid stonyheart, waking word* of penilef.ee and praise to which her lips had kng been itrangora.Adversity in the guise nf human injurlioe and wrung generally indurates and embit-tei* ; and the chaslisemcuU that chasten are those which cum* directly from the hand of Him “who doeth all thingswall.’ When Mrs. Waul cimo back, Mrs. Ormewas still kui^lTHg with her face hidden in her arms, and the letters lying beside her. Laying the wrinkled hand, on tho guldenUnir, the faithful old woman ueked: ‘ Did you hear from your baby ?’•Ohl I have good news that will makeinc happy as long us I live. I shall soon see my child, and soon, very soon all willbo clear. Just now I cannot explain; but thank Goa for mu that theso letters camesafely.' She rose, put back her hair, and rapidly glanced over two other letters, then walked io and fro, pondering the contents.•Where is Mr. Waul?' • Reading the papers in our room.’ ' Atk him to come to me nt once.'Sbo went to her desk, and wrote to Gon. Lanranco that letters received after their last interview compelled her to hasten toParis, whither she bad been called by a summons from tho manager ef the theatre. Slrn bad determined in accordance with her,own earnestly expressed withes, that from tho day when the world know her as Mrs. Laurence, it should behold her no moreupon tho stage; consequently she would hasten tho arrangements for the presenta­ tion of her own ploy “Infelite,'' aud afterho had witnessed her rendition of tho now role, she would confer with him regarding tho day appointed for the celebration of their marriage. Until then sbo positivelydeclined seeing him, but enclosed a tress of her golden hair, and bogged to hear from him frequently ; adding directions thatwould insure the reception of his letters. Concluding Odillo Orme, hoping by the grace of God, soon to subscribe myselfLaur.mce."‘ Mr. Waul, I have unexpectedly altered my entire programme, and instead of going to Pxstum, must start nt once to Paris. This fortunately, is Tuesday and theFrench steamer sails for ifarscillca at three o'clock. Go down at once, andarrango for our passage, and bocareful to let no ono know by what route I leave Naples. Ou your way call at thn Telegraph Office and see thatthis despatch is forwarded [ romptly and do send mu a closo carriage immediately. I wish to avoid an unpleasant engagement,aud shall drive to Torre del Greco, returning in time to meet jou at Che steamer, instead of ut this house. See thattho baggage leaves hero only time enough to be put aboard by three o'clock, end I shall nut fail to join you there. When GsueralLaurancu culls Mrs. Wuul will instruct the servant to band him this notapwiih the in­ formation that I have gone for a laruwclldrive around Naples.’ Hurriedly completing her preparations, she entered tho carnage, and was soonborne along the incomparably beau ifol road that skiits the graceful curves uf theBay of Naples. But the glory of the sky, and the legendary charms of tho pictnrcs- qno scenery that surrounded her appealedin vain to senses that were wrapt in thelight of other days, that listened only to the new canticle which hope, lung dumb,was now singing through all the sunnychambers of herheait. Returning again and again to tho per­ usal of tbu letters, to assure herself thatro contingency could uiise to defraud her of her long-delayed recognition, she felt .that the galling load of half her life hadsuddenly slipped from her woiry should­ ers, and thu world nnd the future wore that magic radiance which greeted Millam,as singing, she 1< oked back upon the de­ struction esctip al, and on toward the re­deemed inheritance awaiting her. Reunion with her child, and the trium­ phant establishment ofhor unsullied paren­ tage, glowed us ilia silver stars in her newsky ; while a baletul laud haze r.umninded ihu thought of that dire puirisbmont she was enabled to inflict upon the men whohad trampled her prayers brueatb their iron heels. She recalled the im tge of the swarthy,supercilious, be-diam nkd wonjau who sat that momorable n g it in the minister's box, claiming as husband the bmiasomelistless mau nt her side ; and u* she pic- tuied the dismay which would follow the sudden rending of the name of Lanranco from the banker's daughter and her help­less child, Mrs. Orme laughed aloud. Slowly the day wore on, and General Laurance foiled to call at the appointedhour, to urrmtge the preliminaries of his marriage. His servant Lruught a note, which Mrs. Orme read when she reachedthe steamer, informing her that sudden aud severe indisposition confi ted him to 1-ia bed, and roijnesting an interview on tho earning ur ruing. Mrs. Waul had re­ceived the note, and despatched iu return that given her by her mistress. In the magical glow of that c’oudlessgolden afternoon, Mrs. Onue saw t'io out­ lines of St. Elmo fodo away, Capri vanish like a purple mist, Ischia and Procida melt insensibly, into the blue of the marvellousbay; and watching the spark which trem­ ble'1. on the distant summit of Vesuvius, like tho dyiug eye of that cruel destinyfrom which she fled, the rescued woman exulted in the belief that she was al last sailing through serene sent.Dreaming of her child, whaio pureimage hovered in the mirage hope wove before her Bh* -wne-t *11 euthtr matter* to t-nrrt.

Over these harrowing letters she had weptlong and bitterly accusing hermit o ntinn- ally of htr nuwortbine** in allowing another image to usurp the throne wherethe missionary should have reigned su­ preme; and the ouly consolation afforded was in the reflection that Douglass had d:edbelieving her faithf il—happy iu tho per­ fect trust reposed in her.

Palma and Olga only’knew thatRegina had lost a dear friend, whom shebad not seen for years, and none but her guardian understood the nature of tho sa­cred tie that bound them.

The storm, now of sloet, now of snow,darkened the air, and the globes of 11mchandelier, representing Pompeian lamp!, were lighted above the oval table, shed­ding a bright yet mellow glow over thequiet room. Upon a bronze console stood a Um -cot­ta jar containing a white azalea in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers breathed like a benediction on the atmos­phere; while in the tall grass beneath Mrs. Orme's portrait two half-blown snowy camellias nestled amid a fringe ofgeranium leaves. Close to ths flre, with her feet npon aPersian patterned cushion, Olga reclined in the luxurious easy-chair that belonged to Mr. Palma's writing desk, and open on herlap lay a vol u mi entitled the “ Service of the Poor."

The following towns excel us in amount, via: Belleville, Brookville, Chatham, Guelph, Lindsay, Port Hope, Stratford and Windsor r while the following towns aro below ours, some of them a considerable amount, viz.: Bairre, Berlin, Bowmanville, Cobourg, Col-" lingwood, Dundas, Goderich, Napanee, Owen Sound, Sarnia, St. Mary’s, St. Thomas, Strathroy, Whitby and Woodstock. We think this a strong proof .of the stand­ ing and efficiency of our public school, as payments by tho Government aro now made more upon results than formerly. We hope that our Public and High Schools will long retain their present high standing, and that our Board of Education will keep every teach­ er in the staff np to the mark in his or .her seven.I positions, treating them with that liberality thorough and efficient servants are entitled to, and demanding from them a con­ scientious and faithful discharge of tho high and important interests committed to their The public arc quite willing to submit to a liberal expenditure of money in support of the schools, but will look fur results in proportion- We may well be proud of our schools ns they stand, but let no reasonable effort be spared to make them more and more efficient, in accord, ancc with the progress of the age.
