The want ofcom- munication` by-telegraph with Orillin has long been keenly felt, both by parties in Barrie and Toronto. The extension would most assuredly be a great boon to the inhabitants oftliat locality, particularly those engaged in mercantile and lumbering operations. 1 Orillia is improving rapidly and no doubt the citizens of` that ambitious village piook forward to being recognized -as `a county town at no very distant period.

Between Angus and Dtllllam lies as tiea section of country for making 3 railroad over as any part of Canada. _ But from Durham to Owen Sou'nd, I am satise.-d you could not get arai'road across without enor- mous expense. The next line is one from Stratford,rttnning back into Bruce; and the next, the exlettsitin from Collingwood to Owen `Sound. These" four are independevit of the line whichl advocate before you to-day. Sometime in March last, I thought that an opening there it-as'for a litte from Torcnto to Owen Sound. It would have a good ter minus by starting from the principal city in Upper Canada. and. one that is likely to be so for some time to cotrie. Then it would have a good terminus at Owen Souitd--one of the ha-tbours on lht-!'Bll0l eS ofthe lake- From To-' route to there, theiline would r.ot exceed 105 miles in length, .allowi ig for curvatuers; it would run the way of Weston, Caledon, Motto ' and Amaranth, and away up in tlte neigh- borhood of the Sidsnham road to Owen Sound. lsaw in an Owen Salllllti paper..a sketch _ol the central route, and I. then determined to write a letter for the paper, stating that I was organizing a company to get a charter for this road and build it; and I did so. I i do not come here to agitate for the building of that road solely for pect' to ntake somezliitig out of it myself.` (Hear and cheers.). I was asked by letter to attend meetings on l_lle_FI)hjB(`l antl approv rig ofthe `project. The first letter was from the Secretary of the Railway Committee of Owen Sound, (Theleiter was read by the Secre- tary, and contained an approval of Mr. F_ow- l_er s project.) Art-ompanied byv Mr. Tait atid Mr. Beacliell, I started'up. going by the way of East Caledott, Mono Mitts, and from thenceto Orangeville`. Tlteie I felt the dil culty of crossing the` Caledot: Mountains would be a very serious one, not Mr. F Shanly,-whom I met there, showed me from Mr._ I`ully s report that it would be practicale to cross--the Caletlon Mountains, and we ac- cordingly examined the country ititlicated by Mr.Tu|ly ~s mop. Near Mono Mills I did not like the look of the country. But ofI'"to the"rt_ght, in the` neighbourhood of the Hum- ber, I saw that by making a curve. in the di- rection of O`rangev'rlle' at line could he run, The rough country we` had seen cotild not ex- tend over. 10 miles. and all the rest was as` fine` a country to make a` road through as could be wished. All that we asked for, he said, was their assistance in securing a re- newaloftlte charter for the road; and` I ex- plained that if the-inunicipaIities subscribed the 2,000 per mile ezch, which they were willing todo-. this sum, with a Government grant of land of '15 000 acres per mile- which would at half a doilar an acre. pro duce an eqnal_sum-awould lite qtiite'sothcir-ttt to induce capitalists to take up the undertak- ing. Now if this road is made to Owen Sound` it would open out at otice a new way for litm- her. This is one item which would make a large business for the railroad. The roztd I promise is the shortest cut from Lake On tario_ to Lake Huron and Chicago, Luke Su.~ ` perior and all that "part of the count.ry-thle business of ,which was very large, and would be still larger. It was shorter than going by the Grand Trunk to Sarnia, `and [tom -there.up the lakes to Chicago, by 160 miles, and would unquestionably draw it largethnrotiglt business. The Central will not run within" 30- tniletrof the Northern. Be- sides, as a business "precaution, we` should keep as far from the Northern as possible. I ask of you, izen:temen-'not money--but your aidin petitioniiig for a renewal of the char ter. As to the `profits of the road, why. for" ten years 'tocome it would malre a prot l"-om carrying oordwood alone; and you, too, will be the gainers by it. your intere`st.s-l ex- ' :_ fi.We haveigreiat pleastjreiin calling -attention to . the card otheventerpriziiig rm` of Mulcaby cl; ,Q7a"shman'l.',_.To`-meet _the`wants'of their'ctistomers, t and the requirements of a rapidly growing trade, they have enlarged, extended, and otherwise im- proved the storeilately `occupied by Mr. Henry Hunter, and they have added a Millinery Departl ment to their cheap and popular Dry Good Estab- lishment, and also have tted up an elegant and commodious show room._ The shop altogether is very tastefully arranged, and when it is borne in mind that it contairisarf immense stock of every- thing costly and beautiful-=-ein Ladies Dress Goods Shawls, llrlantles, Bonnets, Hats, P_arasols-and also `that Mr. Oashman,one of the members of this rm gives his personal and particular attention to the details of the business, it is scarcely a matter of surprise that the establishment is attracting n. 1 large share of the public palrohage.

We have tlte reports` and prots `of the` lines from our engineers, and I can. tell you that $90000Owrl| build that road as against the $3 500.000 rvquiretlilor the central line; and, as I said before. it is certain to securea dtre.:ti_v rerriurrerati-e trade. for it represents something like art annual net income necessary to ;pay 6 per cent, of but 550.000; while thetnther scheme would acquire a net income of S220,- 000. Which then can go on the market wltlt the best credit ?- I do nut think any one can hesitate for a moment as to the answer. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Fowler made a great mistake if he thought that while I eat here as-the repre- seritatrve` oI- Engli~h capitalsts he could frighten me by the ntateineur that tliisuas only `the comrneucenrent of` the ham` . I am too old aisoldter lor that, and `understand the meaning of threats of CUBICIOD far too well.- And I retort to Mr. Fowler. by saying that there is no coin of sufficiently small denomin- ation in our decimal currency that we wil waste on him to stop his agitation. (Laughter and cheers.) As I understand there are many herefrom Grey. I-may state that I believe . these" eiglitsouthcru townships of Grey are prepared to contribute with great` liberahty to- wards thecon.-'tttuctton ol the Grey and Simone line. That leaves the northern part of the county of Grey not _only unreserved. but also unburtlened by the cost of that line. If We also are prepared to contribute liberally towards the construction of a railroad, will you extend your line from Collitigwootlf I` naturally en- quire lheleeling of Owen Sound in the matter- '1`|iere are gentlemen here to day from Owen Sound to promote the scheme of Mr. Fowicr. and I` ask t_hem.and every gentleman from Grey and the citizens of Toronto to say whether lam right or wrong in the` statements I am about to make ! No one who knows Owen Sound or Goderich but must be `aware that it was by the back country they were lifted up to p'rosper.i.ty. It had been the case with Toronto, and we int'end to make it more so by the addition of this trade. This description` of trade had built _up' Olven Sound.

Some two years ago Mr. Jackson obtained a charter for 3 Railroad to the counties he replngemg, and he laid down a line from Angus to Durham. In is.

And even accord- ing ioihis, (although the line must be p,3,,i;_ _pttl l"po5e5_ _ t lII8cl carry rteparietl trom and make the matter I .,.,,;qe,) Mr`.

I have now, in my books, accounts from as far west` and south as Mount Forrest; This beirrg the case, the interest nlthe Northern road in the business of these counties Chang so great, I appeal to the citizens of Toronto, whether as proprietors in that line to the extent of 50,000, you do not regard this as a rival line, which would` depreciate your . interest in the Northern road 7 instead of . being 'l05 miles long. Mr. Fowter s line will, I say. be 110. -According to liisoiin estimate it will cost $3,500,000 to build. is it, l would ask, wise, prudent, or honest, to initiate a system to destroy existing interests in which the city is so largely interested? ls it wise to try anti trepany any capitalists to put rnonpy, into a place wherethere is` no new trade in of the road must be most active and ruinous competition.

If this is the case -with an ttndtspttted poiuession of the? trade. what will he the fate of these two roads, i." another he built to carry away so much ol its trade?
