After much earnest discussion. and very full eoursitlerntion of the circumstances, both of the Toronto, Grev, nnd Bruce Rail, vuy Company, and of the people interest- ed in the running of the road, in fair and feasible fintuteial edit-me has been hit upon. To secure the ratepayers for the total honus of $1,000,000 required, the Company will give that amount in Second Mortgage Bonds, the interest on which will, in time, make I sinking fund that will pay them off. It is safe to say that this is the very heat offer the Company can make, and to wait for my better in needless. It would he a mistaken dependence. too, to suppose that if this company be not able to renew and run the road, some other Com. peny will. Ifpeople won“ bat think that the Grand Trttnk.tor instance. canhl not inn . ear to Owen sound until the whole uuuge was ehrnged, they would see the folly of such an expectation. But the Grand Trunk Could not change the gauge and renew the rails without Nsetulirtemore money thnn the T. G. & n. Company No- Prse to spend. To look to that quarter for ttst/tMarte Is utterly foolish. The people must thtmseln-s n me to the front, if they wish to retain the road and the benefits it brings them. SAD END or' AN ARTE}!

The utter pewerleesneu of the calm. niator to injure the men he tndueu is aptly repreeented in Grip'l when of last week, which pictures Mr. Blake shaking oft into the fins the viper of enlumny that has {manned upon him, while amnzement is pictured on the countennncen of the tat. tered barbarians about him. The lesson so well conveyed is no new one. The number of those who have been perm» nently injured in reputation by the shaft of the slander" is very rmull indeed. It more often happens that the missile be. comes a boomerang, which infliets on the person who hurls it the mischief he intend. for another. Nor rhould this occasion nurpriu. The Ipirit of fair play which animate: the majority of men in every we no matter how degenerate, 'rtdfiees to pre- rent slander, and ulnmuics, known to he web, from lowering in their estimation the man Against whom thoy are directed. l And seldom it is that a calumny is invent. od which does not either hear its refutation on the face of it. or finds itself promptly overtaken with the truth. No man who is conscious of reetitude in the course ho pursues has the slightest occasion to fear tho Voice of tlwdetruetor, except for the temporary annoyance it iufliets. Time, the great re,torer mun squares tlseaeeount bctwecn the reviled and the reviler, and the hitter so often get» the worst of it its to make it appear nupprising that those who find their frequent attempts only re- coil on themselvs do not, even form ino- tives of policy, learn to curl, their malig- nance. The foul breath may cloud for an instant the surface of the mirror, but the Int-til bvneath retains its polish, and shines with all the more lustre for the temporary detiletucut, Any man who istrue ofheart and iirm of purpose can afford to trout his detractors with contempt, knowing that his reputation is safe in the hands of his follow cttizvnn. nomad; It A Stark, Reeve 01' Derby; A Brown, Reeve of Koppel; R Nona.

A mootinguf the deligntes appointed to confrr with the Board of Direetorswas held at the umces of the Company on Thursday the ttth November, to consider the best steps to be taken to change the gauge and improve the railway by the laying of steel rails. It isinudc in some quarters a ground of complaint that so much of the spcvclies at the lit-form picnics was taken up in deal- ing with what are termed "pcrstmalelmrg. cs." This attitude is most unreasonable. It is to be expected that men in power will be eritieizod, nor is fair criticism to be de. precated; but the stream of abuse which has been for tour your»; poured out inces- santly on the heads of the present Minis. ters; is not fair ertieism, and however true it may be that slander cannot in the end injure any one vxeept the sUnderer, it would be in the last degree unwise, mallow his tactics to go unexposed, and leave him to revel ttneontradietvd in calurunious fab. ricntions. It is the more necessary to take notice of such charges and refute them. luccnusc those who mnusocttUm studicmsly [ aim at producing such an admixture of truth and error as will be likely to delude if not convince the pul2ie.

It is unucssary to say which clement is found predotuinating.-- tilcbe of Tuesday. The great speech delivered by Mr. Blake to his eonstitntents at Teesewuer-the only one, we regret to add, he has been able to dcliver-does not seem to have been at all agreeable to those who elamoured so long for its npneumnee. After having for years served as a target for the missiles ot his urserupalous enemies, it is not surprising that a considerable portion of it should have been taken up with the refu- tation of charges which will ncrerneed to be refuted nguin. A more effectual rejoinder it would be hard to conceive of, and this no less in ureount vfhis Well-known abil- ity to defend himself than ofthe utter base. leusness ofthe shinders with which he had to deal. Heneeforth they will take rank with the "Proton Slanders" and "Speak Now's" of other days. never to he recalled to mind except to "pomt a moral" by showing that the slundereris as powerless for mischief as his oceupation is unsuvoury and degrading.

The cluthing was identified by a witness " the examination as the same as worn by George Puller. One witness testificNI to seeing Fuller leave his house about nine o'eloek on this April evening, when he had promised the witness to go titslting with him, and that was the last that was seen of him, while Baker claims that he saw him about eight in the evening with a pan dressed in dark clothes, whom Fuller said was a chum, and that they were go. ing to Lexington. Other witnesses testify thnt Baker attempted to put Fuller on the hack road to go to Bad Ax, which mu? nearer, about two weeks before in iii; It is to he hoped that the ntepeyere of the townships along the Toronto, Grey * Bruce Bailwey, who will be culled upon to say whether or not they belie" it to be their interest to sustein end improve an undertaking which he: nlreedy greatly profited them, will not be frightened by thebugbeur notion that changing the page means something extraordinary and un. precedented. The fact is that circumsteu- l cos have greatly elunged since this Itail. way was built. Then there was one gauge for Canada and another for the States. and what has come to pass in simply this, that the country of smaller population Ind tndtie has had to eonturm to the gauge adopted by the country which wee the greater in both these respects. The 5 feet 6 inches gauge was “opted by the Great Western, the Grand Trunk, and the Cann- ilinn Government, but otter many years tried it ltcd to be abandoned, for the sake of ttninterupted connection with American railways. That this road of ours, as well as the Intercoloninl and other great roads above mentioned, should require change gauge is nothing to make n wonder about. It mew” just this-that some things have. lmppenetl which were not foreseenlvy great railway men mul statunmeu, in England as well as in Canada, a number of years ago. Thursday, October 25th, Seymour Wood. hull. working in the camps in Oliver town- ship for MeAlister, lumhcnuan for Woods. & Co., having felled a tree, he was thug. ging the top ofit along when it raked up some clothing. and upon searching further among the haves he found a human collar bone, and what i..: _ Leen identified by Dr. Bakins, of Fun Crescnt. as a hmhun rib. There were other bones, but the doctor was not positive that they were human. There was also found an ironwood club about three feet in length. with dark stains upon it. It is supposed by some that the body has boon dismembered, as a pair of long-legged boots which the missing man wore cannot be found, and all the clothing that has been found is ripped up the back. Others think the remains have been de. voured by bears, traces of which are seen about the vicinity. The neighlmrs, ever since Fuller's dis. appearance, lmve been on the alert to dis. cover smne news or find some trace of the missing man, whom it was reported by Baker's family had gone to Lexington to buy some more land, and that he went away in the night, so that one Shaw, n m ighbor, Would nut get in ahead and get the land. It so happens too that the change can very conveniently be made. New rails must be laid ere long, if the road is to be kept mining, and the extra expense of lay. ing them 141 inches npurt further than be- fore need not be very great. As we have before shown, the present in really a great oppmtunity for doing very cheaply an im. portant work, the benefits from which will be permanently scoured, not only to our- selves but to those who Ct me after us. Not for many years back have railway mate- rials and cost of construction been at so low figures as at present, hut a great rail- way revival has begun, and tho favorable time may pass ore we are nwnro. We no- tice these two things-a present opportu- nity of getting a great work done at mull cost, and also the best prospects of such a revival of railway business as will make the investment a. paying one. The change of gauge is but a trihing inci. lent in the course of our efforts to place and to keep ourselves in close commotion with the great markets for our produce. We are not now advocating: any more sup- position, we can point to facts, and ask the people of thrvse tuuniciyalities to look at the example of the Grand Trunk and to follow it.--oranpuu'lle Adcertiscr.

Since the 26th of April, 1876, George Fuller has not been seen or heard from, and it is now believed by all that knew him, that on that April night he met his death, pruclly, fur from friends and relatives, in the dense recess of that Mich- igan forest. a. victim to thecuqridityofuaau, who, fur a, few hundred dollars, cmumittod one of thr most eoWblooded murders ever perpetrated in this part of the State.
