For the Spectator.


Mr.. EDITOR :-On all hands it is acknowl-
Road is the great enterprise upon which the
future of our Valley is based. Without it we
languish-with it, and the advantages we would
derive from 1t 10 the developement of our re-
sources, agrlcultural mineral and manufactu-
ring, 1t would be difficult to estimate the a.
mount OF wealth which would fall into the pos
session OF the present owners of the lands of
the great Valley Column after column of
your sheet might be exhausted in telling the
well understood tale, but at last we kaow that
the construction OF the Road is dependent up
the raising OF the necessary capital, and
that again upon the names and remit alton of
the men who, as the leaders and conductors of
the enterprise, are to disburse it, The writer
has nothing to say IN disparagemens of the
gentleman "hoaup to this time has had charge
of the fortunes OF the Read, He has done his
part we'll and faithfully In arousing attention to
the claims OF this Road to general and local IA
vor. 1t is believed that his efforts ia that be-
half have assured the subscription of The nee
essary capital and now the question arises,
who shall be hesleader in the prosecution of
the work to its completion-upon whom shall
the meeting OF Stockholders, convened for the
18th OF October next, devolve this important
duty. We have In our own Valley great and
mighty name-a name famous throughout the
civilized world in its connection with science
and works of practical utility--a name which

Country Advertising

We rarely see SO much sound sense in small
space as marks the following paragraph, which is
taken from as address by Joseph AIedill, of
Chicago, before the Convention OF Indiana Ed
itors and Publishers :t.-.e@ s.
Establish a living scale for advertising, and
adhere tenaciously to it. If your neighbour is
so foolish as to cut under you aud refuse to lis
ten to reason, 90 not follow his weak example,
for he will hurt his own business far more than
he can yours When publisher puts down
his subscription rates, people begin to suspect
be is hard up, and they decline to pay in
advance, lest he may fail I; and if he reduces his
advertising rates below customary prices, it will
be taken as a confession that his circulation is
dlmlnutive and declining. Such are always the
effects of the cut-under game Of the player; for
# you set a low value on your services or paper,
the public is sure to place lower. How, then,
are you proited by insane efforts to cripple or
kill your neighbours paper? Rather live and
let live be the sentiment that governs your &C.
ton, Stand by your rates, and do as nearly
cash business as it is possible Long credit is
the bane that destroys SO many country papers.
1t Is this slow poison that kills them, or causes
them to drag out miserable, sicky and I'M
remunerative existence All the expenses at
tending the publishing business are cash, and
unless you receive cash for your labour, how
can you expect to succeed or pro- per?
