This Grand and Important Plan is particularly deserving of attention from every class of the community in Canada and various parts of the United States, whether directly interested in Railroads of not. It has been projected as a great public advantage, that of opening a Railway communication across the Peninsula to the Far West, in connection with the Lines now finished from New York and Boston to Osewego—thus rendering the Northern Route, by Toronto to the Western States, shorter than any other by several hundred miles—the distance across the Peninsula being only about Eight Miles, thus avoiding the circuitous and danger route by Lake Erie and the Southern shore of Lake Huron.
It is presumed that when this Line of Railway is finished, it will be the best paying Stock in North America.
Applications for Tickets (enclosing remittances) to be addressed, post-paid to
