Great Western Railway

We learn with much satisfaction that nearly ten miles of the right of way for the Sarnia branch of the Great Western Railway, has been, purchased by the Company,and that the exact course is now permanently established. The opening of spring will be the signal for active operations along the entire line. “Hope deffered” will soon give way to the tangablenoble realization of the good things in store for us;and the snort of the “iron horse” will daily cheer the solitary occupants of our Western forests.
