P. R.has treated them. Free Press says : "Man's iohuinanity to man makes coutless ihnusaiids mourn," and the policy of the C. P. Railway, if it dues Dot cause mourning, causes curses both loud und deep co be showered upon tho managomont of that corporation. For two weeks the Owen Sound branch of the railway was snowbound and the engines \ were suj)plied with water free of charge by J tho village nf Shelburno. Now Shelburne is sulFering from a fuel famine and there are several cars of coal between here and Toronto consigned to this burg. They have been on the road, not merely for weeks but for months audit was expected that in return for the kindness of the tuwn at least (me car would be rushed through. Tho blocado was broken and on Sunday a '.rain of ten car loads of freight reachtd Shelburne. With eager ox|)eotancy the citizens empiired for coal but were informed that not an ounce was onboard" Then as if to drive the dis- appointment home further informatinn was Hiveii that three cars were loaded with Masaey-Harris harvesting machinery ! ! !

A strong, clear and steady stream of water has been struck on the farm, which t!ie engineer in charge ot the work, Mr Noil MoGulphan, of the Toronto Wind- nidl Co., Kays is suflii.-ient to supply a town of 2,0000 inhabitants with a complete Byatein of waterworks. The value of this never failing spring cannot Ho easily over- c.-tiinated, and th>s excellent How of water is aho iiivaluahle, the like of which is seldom struck. The well is situated about 7C ro Is from the tank, almost directly l>ehind the house of refuge, and and the tank is ten rods north of the liuii'lin-;. So strong is the flow that two lix inch stjunre pumps were kept working two days endeavoring to empty the well in order to fucdi<atu operations in sink- ing ihs crib, but men are now eiiKnged in tinking tlie crib in the well without re- i.iioving the water, which is a most dilheuir task. The windmill at the well, t'lu frame-work of whioh is now erected, has n Ifl-loot whuel.and wa-s minufactured by the windmill, Eniiine ami Pump Com- pany of Toronto. From the spring the water will bo discharged through a two inch pipe to the tank, op tho top of which ii si'iiuied a tower Co feet high, and the li-iuht from tho ground to the top of the tower nil!

The steel (uliiliuoture under the tank is built of 8 inch by \ inch angle.^ on corners, 4 inch angles for girls, and th.i main sill on lop is .34 inch "I" beams, 80 (Mmud* to the foot.

A neeting nf the dirncton of the Huron ftiid Oiiturio EleotrifR Railway Co., wah called to meet at the President • office in Walkertoo on Friday afternoon o( last v« k to meet Mr. Mcpiioald of Qaalpb, «Ko «•« to Imi pTWritf ladi»cu« the pas- sible transfer of the charter of the Elec- tric Railway Co. to the parties who pur- pose building n steam road from Hanover to TeoBwator as referred to in a previona issue of the Post. Mr. McDonald of Guolph, and Mr, Cameron of Meaford, sec'y. of the Electric Railway Co., was unable to got through from Guelph in consequence of tho snow blockade, and wore thus prevent^vl from attending the meeting. A full meotinn of the direcutrg of tho Electric Railway Co., is to be called for about ApriMst. It would appear that somebody is in earnest in connection with the matter, and we are ii: hopes that Hanover will secure a competing railway line which will prove a sjreat boon to our nmnufttciuring interests, besides being of great advantage to the town at lar«o. If the road is to be constructed, and if, as is supposed, that the C. P. R. is at the bot- tom of the enterprise, we would hko very much to see the road constructed oast- ward to Flesherton or some other point on the Owen Sound branrh of the Cana- dian Pacificâ€" Hanover Post.
