This letter threatened pains and penalties to one Archer--who was about to get manied to another--for breach of promise of marriage, and no less » rum than $500 would be re- ceived as an equivalent lor the insult.

Paxton and Farewell could have enlightened the lachrymonious gentleman by informing him of other contracts which bad fallen through with this company, (Farewellnesrly bad a contract) but the blame in"every instance rested with the company. Mr. LAUDER stated the case exact ly as to the contract." Mr. BUULTBEE asserted that if the bill were to cary it would be taking money from the municipalities concerned and putting it ing the pockets of the company. Mg. WQOD, Victoria, was so anxious to perpetrate the wrong that he let bis zeal get the®mter of his good judgment ond rushed in vith sn amendment which bad not eves the merit of being in order. MR. LAUDER struck the nail on the head when ba pseeried that Paxton was working for the railway company against the interests of his own cons'ituents. He is simjly robbing Reach of $8,000, Port Perry of $1,000 and Scugog ol $1,000, and putting that money int) his own pocket ind the pockets of the other members of \he Ring. Mgr. FAREWELL as one of the would-be early contractors gave his aid to the iniquity. He said the people of On- tario did pot require the sympathy of Mr. Lauder.
