Brooklin has long been waiting for a boom but we trust it is coming
at last. The proposed Western Ontario Railway from Port Hope to the
lake Huron shore passing through the counties of Ontario, York,
Simcoe, Cardwell Grey and Bruce, can scarcely avoid coming through or
very close to us. We are certainly on a direct line with the places
through which they propose building and ample room could be procured
for a large station here.

What might have proved a very serious accident happened to Mr. A.
Ketchen on Thursday last. He was hitching up a team of colts to a set
of harrows on his property at Ashburn, and while fastening the tugs
one of the horses stood back and knocked him down on the harrows and
then fell on him. He was rendered insensible for a time and on
recovering found the horse standing and he lying under it. He very
miraculously escaped with a few bruises and is able to get about
again.

The members of the R. T. of T. came out strong on Monday night.
Four new members were added to our number. The participants in the
debate were on hand and proved themselves primed and prepared to deal
with their subject. The time allowed for each was much too short and
it was with reluctance that they gave up the platform when time was
called. The decision was left to the lodge and put to vote resulting in
a tie. The other part of the programme consisting of readings music
and singing was of a high order.
