Ind Dinctoro the antipathy to Wood- villo we think has vanished, and we may hope for n moon-lilo attention to our requests. Mr. Cox is a liberal business man and anything which would be conducive to the mutual bene- fit both of the town and railway will undoubtedly receive his careful uten- tlon. The scheme moat favonublo and at the came time the lmt costly would lie to build a switch (mm the mnin line at the neuron-t point to tho‘villugo, Now that the air in filled with schemes of railway construction and ex- tensioa would it mt be well for our 71853341! to amuse thenmelres and conâ€" Iider the possibility of obtaining rail- way connection with the village lrom in» Midland. The season is now at hand when the‘ annual railway mania Isiaes our citizens and could the intemst be directed into the proper channels possibly something would be nccou:~ plishecl. The history of \Voodrille and the Midland railway in too well known hem to requim any rac‘apitulatlon, and it is deeply to he regretted that the czmpany were induced to retaliate in the manner in which they did. Howâ€" ever the deed Was done, and now all that remains in to remedy the evil as best we con. With the old Munngor This is an injunction applicable to every ugriculturulist in this fair Doni- inion,but to none more so than to those living in these immediate townships. Newspapers and agricuitural periodicals in abundance are annually distlibutei but their good efl'ecls are almost imper- ceptible. Occesionally we find amen who has some enterprise, but in the majority of cases our farmers are conâ€" tented with very common acrub stock. A few days ago MixDonald McCiinnnou of Eldon, sold a fine colt to an American dealer for the sum of $200. ‘The colt was a fine one and of good parents, and brought a handsume price. During the past four years Mr. McCrimmon has derived from horses [red by him the snug sum of $1,425. This is an exmu- ple of what may .be done by careful bleeding by every farmer in Canada. There is an unlimited market for‘filst- class animals with good prices, and see ing that it does not cost any more to keep them it is somewhat surprising that more interest is not manifested in their increase. Wi:h little extra. tron- bio and expense on the part of farmezs- the old scrub stock might soon be 18 placed by a clam of animals which in every point of view would be more de- sirable, and we hope Mr. McC‘rimmon's experience will prompt many of them to endeavour to impmve the grade of their stock. Money, “ the root. of all evil," is caus~ inS many an aching head and worrying many it fertile brain as to the easiest. method by which to obtain it All branches of industry and trade are inâ€" vigornted by a liberal application of this, i“ the necdt'ul." The neWspnpi-r is no exception to the rule and depends for its existence on the small annual conâ€" tributions of its subscribers. \Vith this week’s issue we enclose a large number of “ dunners” to our subscribers and from which we expect a speedy remit- tance as we are much in need of money. “'8 hope shortly to find our pnnts pockets overflowing with specie and for which we shall be truly grateful.

IN perusing the Various accounts of the progress of the war in the Transvaal there me very few people who have it correct idea of the 'true meaning of the word “ Boer." Some assert that "Beer" is a Danish name and means silupl} in- habitant. This is not 30. Beer means nothing else than “ Beer" in “Plattr tlutsch," or “ Batter" (peasant) in Gen man. The Doors are descendants of the Dutch. who. in the year 1652, umlcr Jan Van Hit-heck, populated the south- pm point of the 'African continent, and there, as well as in old Holland, stick to German customs.
