Schomberg.

Some twenty-five men, engaged on the S. & A. railway, are now stationed in town and are busy putting the finishing touches on that line of railroad. The road has been graveled as far as Mr. Pearson's farm just outside Schomberg, the cattle guards have been erected and things seem to point to the early commencement of regular railroad traffic. The employees are engaged in extending the main line towards the depot, leaving the present terminus as a switch. The main line will leave the present track about two-hundred yards back and will run between the barn and house situated on the railroad property which formerly belonged to Mrs. Sloan. The house, which is a brick one, will be converted to a brick depot, and thus we will have a brick depot, something seldom seem on a small place. The barn will be used as a freight shed until it is convenient for the company to erect a regular shed. It is said that the main line will be extended by the company, if they are compelled to do so across the exhibition grounds to Lloydtown. Whether the road will be extended to that village or not will be known on Saturday, as on that day the case will come up before Judge Winchester of Toronto. The decision of the Judge will be awaited with interest in this vicinity. As to there being a regular railroad service to and from Schomberg during Exhibition week we are not able to say. A turntable is also being erected here so as to be in operation by the time traffic opens.
