R- Fciwcett. Editor. FLESHERTON : THURSDAY, FEB. 5, 186&. 'RAILWAY MATTERS." The Standard had a mild editorial under the above heading in its last week's issue the usual wishy-washy style which has ever been its leading characteristic under the management of the present proprietor. Mr. Win. Brown has a letter in the same issue, which, if erroneous iu some respects, is far more to the point. Mr. Brown endeavors to show that the route by way of Markdale is a more practicable one than that via Fleeherton and Eugenia ; while the Standard tries to make it appear that the former route would pass through a veritable land flowing with milk and honey," with fine timber lands, grand water privi- leges, magnificent scenery, *c., Ac. all painted up in the roseate hues of the rainbow, bnt drawn from bis im- agination. The roat by Mtrkdale iiuty ! practicable enough, bnt the country it would pau through is not to be compared at all with that through which the route suggested by us would pass either in fertility of soil, timber, water privilege!, grand scenery , or anything else . Mr. lirown is not as foolish as the Standard in that he docs not attempt to show such superior advantages iu the Markdale route. Naturally enough he supports a scheme which would benefit bis own village, and, consequently, his own property. He suggest* possible bonuses for the municipalities in- terested which will certainly not be ii uii. '-il until the present railway tax- es are paid off. Imagine Artemesia giving a bonus of |15,000 to a rail- way running across one corner of the Township ! or St. Vincent $25,000 ! ! or Ktiphraaia 140,000 ! 1 1 We are not BO sanguine as to imagine any biich tiling for the next ten years at least, and, as we said in a previous article on this subject, possibly not then. The day of bonuaing railways is about over ; but supposing that there was a possibility of the bonuses mentioned by Mr Brown being grant- ed, it would be a hazardous experi- ment for any railway corporation to undertake to run a railway through a section of country already supplied with ample railway accommodation. And it is to he remembered that oqr great railway corporations have en- ough on their hands at the present time without adding to their burdens by "taking hold" of a scheme origi- nated and fostered by a number of inon living within'a radius of four or five miles of a small country village. It will ahortly be seen whether we are right in oar conclusions or not. KIND WORDS. Our old friend and former "boss" Mr. Farewell, Editor and proprietor of the Thornbury Statuiardh&B the following remarks, in the last week's issue of his spicy and energetic paper, ui>- ni TDK ADVANCE : "Tin- FWierton Advance last week contained more local news than any other paper published in the County of Grey ; and the news was highly in- teresting aud spicy." IMPROVED. The FLESHERTON ADVANCE came to hand last week considerably altered in make-up and general appearance. The change is quite an improvement, and is evidence of the go-ahcadative- nesa of the proprietor. The MIRROB may at times differ with the ADVANCE, but we welcome it as an interesting and lively newspaper. Meaford Mir- ror. The above compliment is all the more gratifying to THE ADVANCE man coming, as it does, from one of the most enterprising and best conducted papers in this Province. We consider it in the light of a genuine compliment, and not that species of fulsome flattery so often denounced by our energetic confcre of the Durham Chronicle.

A kind in- : vitation is extended to all to deal with C. TBEADOOLD, Fleshertou. The Standard man says he didn't write the letter about the markets. Of course we knew he would deny the statement notes of interrogation do not count with him' He generally denies our statements, because its an inherent principle in his nature, we suppose, to oppose anything we may chance to favor. \Ye are becoming accustomed to his sly tricks and there- fore weren't surprised when he told us we prevaricated, .fust like him 1 "The Novelist" in the characteristic title of new paper just started iu New York, by John B.

Out of 8.000 patients treated during the put six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured I thin stubborn malady. Thin is none the less startling when it is remembered that not five per cent, of patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefited, while the patent medicines and other advertised cures 1 never record a cure at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scientific men that the diseaes is due to the iir.i-nce of living parasites in the tiasne, Mr. Dizon at once adapted hit cure to their extermination this aecnmpluhrd. he claims the Catarrh is practieally cursd, and the | n-r- maneney Is unquestioned, aa cures effected I by him f< nr years ago ar eires still. No i one >-le has ever attempted t* cure Catarrh ' in this manner, and no other treatment his ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy u simple, and can be done at home, and the prxeent season of the year is the most favourable for a ipedy ind permanent 'cure, the majority of canes being cured at 'one treatment Sufferers shnild correHpond I with Messrs.
