Our contmnporary of Owen Sound goes into llysterics on the Railroad question. Although we stated hereto- fore that the (‘ouncil imposed a. tax. --etr., we still assert, it. to be the case. as it was nothing.r less than imposition on the part of thOse who were appointed to secure our intc rests, to take part in the enactment of such measure as would be highly detrimental to our in- terests. inasnmch as the. heavy burthen of taxation for a Railroad, will prevent the local improvements which should necessarily be made to develop the re- sources of our country previous to the introduction of the railroad. It is when we become paralyzed by succes- sive years of heavy taxation that we are to provide for ourselves facilities for reaching this proposed railway? No! Let us adopt the means which are within our reach,â€"then We. will be in a position to render assistance to the Centralor any other railway which offers greatest inducement. It will be at least four years from the commence- ment of said railway until it will be finished; and where, we ask, is the market to spring from, that will bring those high market prices, about which the “Times.” makes so many prophe- .\ cieS, without the least likelihood of DURHAM CHRONICLE The ()u e11 Sound Times keeps up an incessant. but 1nefieetn e discharge of scuriility against the Reeve of Glen- elg, merely because he would not suc- cumb or aequiem: e to certain me tsures pmpo5ed at the last County Council.

The season there as here is very backward and the showing was not up to that of more favorable years. The work is going on just the same, how- ever, and the experimental plots are receiving a full share of attention. The lectures on this department as well as on others by special professors must have been highly beneficial to the farmers who availed themselves of the privilege. South (lrey and East “'ellington had their annual exvursitm to the Model Farm at Guelph on Saturday last. return tickets holding g(,)(,)d till any train on Monday. The day was an ideal one and about eight hundred, it is estimated, took advantage of the very cheap and pleasant. outing. Un- like most excursions the train arrived at its destination on time and gave visitors the full‘benefit of the time ad- vertised to see the sights about the only great provincial institution that is carried on wholly for the interest of the farmers. The big lunch room which holds about eight hundred was two or three tinu-s filled by the visitors and a, good substantial supply of sandwitches, crackers, cheese and cot‘I'emvcre passed around frvely.

The strange conduct excited Mr. McDougall’s suspicious. and he informed the stranger that he ; would have him arrested .on suspicion :of being the murderer of an Orange- lman. in the township of Camden, some time ago. The stranger then bent his way towards Mt. Forest closely follow- ' ed by Mr. )chougall, who gave the.‘ alarm, and some others interrogated him concerning his trade, residence,E etc., when he unsuspectingly admitted himself to be a blacksmith from the‘ lower part of the province. He was immet‘liately arrested, and brought be- ! fore. Magistrate Kelly (lenient man): when he was identified by the descrip- l tion given of the Camden murderer. Mr. Kelly (e1hpartner-in-relighm,) said , it was a frivolous affair, (how supreme i in imagination.) and would not admit; of this innocent looking man (although i he looked hideous) being detained un- ; til evidence, he, brought from Camden. ’ \\'e are informed that this tender‘ hearted magistrate took his team and I gave this unknown personage a ride toward Guelph. no doubt to euablel him to escape the hands of Justice. ‘ T 1w past “1301‘. bps been must favor- {lblt' for the crops and fanucrs antivi- patc an abundant harvest.

Among the features of Dominion Dav in Durham is to be a Marathon Road Race beginning three or four miles out in the country and ending in town. This will take place in the forenoon and particulars of prizes. 10- cality, etc., will be given next week. The race is to be open to South Grey only, so local runners may be getting into practice. A busy afternoon of racing. sports, ball games and a carpi- val of music of endless variety from the 48th Highlanders’ Band is all ar- ranged for followed by a concert in the rink, of surpassing excellence. Usual prices. \Vatch for opening of the plan and further annoencements. This was the aspéct of al'frirs 0n \Vednesday but the President. willing to give the Company every opportun- ity to right themselves delayed for- warding the papers till he had notified Mr. Mc'\\'illiams of the proceedings that were being taken. In reSponse Mr. )l.c\Villiams at once put himself in correspomience with Mr. Farquharson the result of which was that another meeting of the executive was called for Monday evening. Mr. MC Williams addressing the meeting admitted that grinding had been done as complained of but he eXplained that it had been done against his orders and in his ab- sence. He gave assurance that that would not occur again and that while he regretted the necessity of doing considerable work on Sunday he would do all in his power to make the amount of Sunday work as small as possible. Under these circumstances it was agreed that the complaint be dropped and so the question at issue was hap- pily settled. Even the influence of a. little child should not be disregarded. The faun- ine suffering Chinese have Opened a. sympathetic and responsive chord in the hearts of many who are contribut- ing towards their relief. Little Mar- garet Matthews out at Ritchies’s chool undertook to do something for the support of the sufferers and collected five dollars and twenty-five cents which sum has been handed in to us and we have turned it over to Mrs. Brooker and Mrs. Torry who have been interesting themselves in the movement. The following list gives the total receipts at this office all of which has been paid over to the ladies mentioned:-â€" In this way matters were drifting till on \Vednesday of last week a meet- ing of the executive of the Lord’s Day Alliance was called to consider a com- plaint that the work of grinding ce- ment had for some Sundays been car- ried on during either the whole or part of the day. A letter from Dr. Shearer was read stating that the act- ing Attorney General had signified his willingness to prosecute the parties concerned, as soon as a statement of the facts complained of was presented to him. After due consuleration the president, Rev. \Vm. 1*‘arquharson, was directed to forward to the Attor- ney General a formal complaint, thus the die was cast and the feeling was general that the legal hattleywas begun. (Received too late for last week.) One of the penalties of industrial progress is the loss of quiet restfulness and the curbi‘ng of personal liberty. The ideal condition under which mighty darkness brings repose, and »each recurring week gives to the wearied ,toiler a day to spend with (those he loves in exercises that calm the mind and repose the soul, is rudely pushed aside by the introduction of steam cars and manufacturing pro- cesses that are continuous. For long we have heard of the problems which the new conditions necessitate, hut it is only since our town began to take rank as a manufacturing centre that the seriousness of the difficulty has really been felt. The manufacture of cement requiring intense and continu- ous heat turn night into day and de- crees that wheels shall turn and work be done on Sunday as well as on Sat- urday. \Vith the necessity of keeping 11p part of the work on Sunday. it need be no snr prise though on the one hand the Operatms should find it convenient at times to do work on Sunday that might as well be postponed, or though on the other hand those outside should have suspicions that some of the work is done because those in authority have less interest in securing the day of rest for the men than they should have.

At a meeting of the trustees of Maplewood cemetery lately. they decided to sell the old school house and have it removed and clean up the grounds, which will improve the appearance of the cemetery as the old building: begins to look pretty shaky. They also intend to put forth an effort to have he head scones marking the places of the departed all straightened up. A number of them are lying flat on the ground and if fiXed up would also improve the appearance of the place. We hope they may. succeed Mr and Mrs Arthur Clark from Hanover Visitvd at the farmer’s pa- rental home from Saturday until Sunday night. Billy Bryans has been doing a lot of swapping horses lately.
