And on the following morning all that re- mained of these worke were a few, blacke ened fragments ol the walls, and some smoking tinbers within, A feeling of kind- ly sympathy lor the proprietors who had been heavy losers by the calamity, with the lamentable' oertainty that at leat two hundred people who depended upon these works for subsistence would thus be depriv- ed for a long time of this source of support cast a universal gloom over the town. And while the hands, and their faniilies had the vnfeigned commiseration of the whole town the proprietors whose many good qualities bad secured for them the esteem and rz- pect, not of the town's penple alone, but of ths entire County bad the re sympathy of all, and there was manifested a universal anxiety to have these works rebuil without delay, and that they might go on. The owers, Reapers, Plows and other Agricul toral Implements "manufactured at these works had become 'universal favorites throughout the country, The leading men of the town, not satisfied 'with offeri sort of $3mpathy whose only recommenda- tion is its cheapness induced the proprietors ilo set about rebuilding, and gave such as- «sistance and encouragement in the re-estab- lishment of the works as a, once evinced "The highi esteem in which the proprietors were held by their fellow townsmen and Imauifested 'a most commedable spirit of generous liberality in all concerned.

The 1st seven sections in the Bill, all referring to the appointment Jqualifications, s'laries, &e., of Superintendents, will be very easily disposed of, except it may be that part of the fifth section, where it sets forth :-- That each County and City Council shall nominate one person to be Superintendent.

Geo. Smith, Brown, Edwards, Marsb,Amey, and a host of others. The medical profession wag well represented by Drs. Wilson, Gil- lospie, and Hawk (Surgeon Dentist). Alter partaking of a plentiful repast the tables were cleared and the ceremony of pro- posing and responding to toasts was entered upon with considerable spirit, After the Queen and Royal Family had been given in the chairman's usual happy style, with the opstomary loyal toasts, he gave the"Army andjNavy and Volunteers,' paying a well-merited tribute of praise lo the noble defenders of the hearths and homes of Britain and her colonies. Capt. Cowan being called upon to respond, thanked the chairman for the manner ins which he had introduced the toast, and said he felt proud to have his name asscoiated, however shghtly, with ae good a class of yolunteers as ever was rais- eds The Captain took a glance at some of the'roble deeds of daring, and' victory acheived by the army and navy of the Em- pire in ancient as well as in modern times. He followed the couquering army over the bloody fields of Agincourt, Cressy and Poi- tiers ; and dilated with pride on herPeninsns lar campaigns, which closed with the palin of victory nailed to her standard. Hurrying over Watzrloo, and through the Crimea, the speaker bronghit us home to our own volun- teers, thowing that they had done all that was required of them, and were ready to do moreghad it been necessary. Sergeant Walshe was next called, who gave a capital recitation--a Sea Bight. The chairman next gave the Learned Professions. This was responded to in a short bat nest speech by Dr. Wilson. The I'ress was given from the chuir and responded to by the Elitor of the Opscrver. The Agricultural interests of Canada were proposed by us--and thie, embracing as it did, nine tenths of the com pany, fairly open- ed the campaign. A number of very ex- cellent responces rere given,.nnd several capital songs were sung. Latterly, however, the subject was changed, Agriculture was forgotten, and the epeakers drifted on to the railway track, and never left it 1ill the road was graded, the rails laid and the cars ron- ning. Altogether it was a pleasant and not un- profitab'e time. The Company were the guests of Mr. H.

Mr. Daniel King presented the petition of 144 ot the Electors of Brock praying the Counell fo te~submt 'a by-lasv. for crapnne aid by'. way of bonus to tbe extent of $58,000, to und in the cousiruction of the Toronto & Nipissing Railway. - Mr. King saul the: petition. contained the names of must of the heaviest rate-payers in the townehip, and that notwithstanding that the number was pretty iarge, reveral of the lists did not com in time and gonse- quently'. these wmames were not upon thie petition, but there was one feature in the petition wouthy of notice, that imperfegt as the:can vag hay beanj there. were no. fewer than "44 furies dn the, etition, of Parties who either voled against the by-law or je- mamed neutral when the by law was voted on. 14 " The petifion was received and the signa- lures read over. The Reeve went over the chief business transacted at the County Council. Mr. Bretbour fallowed in.a similar course and closed by urging the importance of de- cided action on the part of the people of Brock, ard from the very important petition which hae just been placed before the Coun- cil, he considers that the Council would not be doing its duty in refusing to re-submn the by-law. A rambling discossion took place in whieh 'several paities present took part, the chief topic being whether $50,000 or $58, 000 should be submuted, all being equally anxious to have ihe road, the chief question being whether or riot $58,000 would carry. The prevailing opinion seemed to be, 1n tavor of having the necessary conditions ip- serted in the by-law. After a long and tedious discussion, the Reeve remarked that the amapniiso lat. waa' a.constderable item and would no doubt press somewhat heavily upon many of 'the ratepayers; but he conerders thatthe benefits 'Which the road 'would 'confer 'Would far more than com yi salepayere for the amount hey would have to puy fo: it--for his part, he said, as Reeve of the municipality "this railway mauer hud cost him more trouble and more anxiely of mind. than anyihing he had ever uiklertaken-~this he said was irrespective of the actual outlay which nl had cost fim, and this was far' from being a trifle, though some of the enemies of the scheme endeavored 10 insinuate that he sustained no pecuniary loss by it so far. Ail he would say to such as make insinua- tions ot this nature is that it speaks litle in favor of their intearity jt appears much like ag if such parties Were for sale. Mr. Wm. Cowan said he would like to say a word after the conncil had all express- ed their views on the matter, and being per- mitted to epeak said that notwithstanding that he appeared ns it were on the opposi- tion. he was by no means opposed 10 the toad, he was'as anxious as any ohe present to get the road, but he did not beheve iy paying:more for it than there is any neces- sity for, and he felt certain that if" $58,00 were submitted again it will be voted down by a mueh larger majority than it was last time ; but if the council would submit a By-law for $50,000" it would eucounter very linle opposition. , Here a decided farce took place. Some enemy of the scheme had wtiempted'té play off a prank on Mr. AVm. Cowan by pre- tending to buy him over to the interests of the scheme--but the farce was so tyanspar- 'ent {hat it could riot éven raise a laugh. In the first place every one knew that the party who was attempted to be implicated in the dastardly act was well known to be entire- ly above abythiug of Ihe sort, and: ngver could stoop to such meanness--and in the second place no one having even the sliglit- ort» Eowledge of Me Cowan would ever, : \ ae hy 6 tack ns think of attempting «2 Lop usd 2 eliher to corrupt Bn by brive; Qeercd Lim by threats.
