The Finance and Assessment com- mittee gMiujilud with the question of qimli/.uti<jii at (lie County Council last wt-ok. and managed to malic a gcu- ml rednotkm of obout 30 per cent. all round. Tho clumps in any one township will amount to \vry little in reduced or increased taxation. Of course Mmford retained the IJOU.OOO decrease wliicli the Judge granUil it last summer. We believe the com- mittee in taking the muttu in li .r<i Lave done as nearly right as it wi> |>08iblc for them to do ; at least they Lave saved the county money by at- tending to it themselves.

Another important railway meet- ing was held at IVicoville on Tuesday afti nioon, at wliii-h about forty rut. l>;i\ TM and deli Ljuti'H Were pn * nt from along the proposed route, HHMIH,' them being Mayor and Heove lirown, of Ihirliain, who uro both enthusiast lioally in favor of the road. For a cjld day it was a good turnout. Not only was the turnout nood, but the unanimity displayed as to the advan- tages and feasibility of a lino from Kincardine to Tlioinbury and Mea- fird via \Vall:( i t'Ui, I>nrliam, Flesh - qrton and Kimborhy, was almost sur- prising. All of the many speakers united in the belief that this line could be built. The agitation appears t" have started simultaneously and Hpontancoiuly at Walkerton and Kinibcrlcy. The towns to tho west are fierce for connection with the C. P. H. and will leave no stone un- turned to secure it. To tho north they are equally anxious. This line as proposed would bo about 70 miles in length. It would open up a section of limbered country which has at present u market for but a portion of its product!*, nn. 1 which in not fully de- veloped. Added i > this it would bo a cross country lino which would sec tiro a good passeii.v r tnttVic, and which lias been a ciying want for years. Committees have been formed to get til touch with the promoters at the west, aud nutters will take a practi- cal shape in a very short time. Af- fairs are in the hands of men T/ho lire energetic and determined to push things to a climax of some, kind, and men who feel that, as this is the uiDst practical route yet suggested, their labors will not 40 unrewarded. Some Lope was entertained that Mcaford and Durham .gentlemen interested in the other scheme pioposed would fall in with this plan and support it. It is probable another meeting will be held very shortly in l>tirh;nu to com- plete organization. The County Council last week ap- pointed a committee to gather stalls ties with .a view to submitting the question of building a House of In- diistry to the roU payers at next elec- tion. That was the proper mode of settling thi.-i momentous question. / ., .,!// 1,101 Currei>oii<!' nt. .lu.l.'ii.j fr ,111 the aiiiiiimt of Rand, briik, limber etc., that it la being drawn ami prepared fur building purpose** tins vicinity in in a prosperous condition.

The chief topic at present is the ad- visability of running either Mr. Jackion or Mr. Turner neit year for mayor of this town, the popularity or responsibility of either gentleman is autKcient reeoiin- datii'ii for them, that is for tint present. The party at Mr. John Itridle's on th* evening of Jan. tho -.lid was a decided success, where the lovora of music could have their hoit's desire, and also the lovers of light fantastic could enjoy them- ti Ires. \V are pleased to inform the young and aim tho old ladies of tin- surround in,.' country of the arrival of two accomplished young lady dressmakers.

Mr John Duiicnn intend* moving into hi' new house shortly. Mr. P. Quiijg was near sustain- ing a serious up*et one day last week by his hone upturning his cutter. Mrs. Quigg still bears the mark. W* are glad nothing serious occurred. The Patrons of Industry are still swarm- ing like bees in July. They intend hold- ing their weekly business meeting in the future in the town hall, which will b.< more convenient than walking two miles. Tho very severe weather seems to be putting new ideas Into MM of the boys, as wo often hear them Haying, I am soon going to stop living alone.
