During ;the months of March and: April,, when the sun becomes"of more power and the daylight lengthens, the people, aro compelled to,wear colored glass goggles, and the horses green veils," as the glare of the sun on the snow is so' strong that if this .was not done blindness would be, the result. During -a- -greater portion of the'time the sky is, cl'ond less, much more so than- further south; So 'that 'there. 'is a, more continuous period • of Strong light. Every; one going there to re- side should provide a pair of goggles, or they may find themselves in the position 'of many • of the early arrivals at Brandon, where a per - loon who had •been a' resident' of the ,country for two or three years, .took•the opportunity, • when the snow blockade commenced, ; to buy • up all the goggles and overshoes and at once •reated a corner and re -sold athis own price. It ham repeatedlybeen.published that'cattle and horses can do well all winter on the open prairie, but this is far' from the truth. It is Ipossiblei that stock could get (sufficient fodder to exist,, but they could not get„ water to drink, and it is quite certain that they' could knot live long• withoirt, water,'' There are set- tiers who are so lost to all sense of honor and honesty, and so utterly oblivious' of" all feel- ings of mercy for"their stock that they will let them range over ilia prairies=for their liv- ing,during winter. They are thus enabled to. steal hay from their neighbors stacks of hay,. which aro scattered "around, as they • have no barns, and the hay isstackedwherever cut. In . our rambles over, the prairie " we •came. across one such character just .north of Por-' tape •la -prairie. We learned that his horses and cattle weredyingof star tion Y a and" therefore went to view the situation. On ar- rival `we went into a small sod stable, alm_ost buried in snow, and surrounded by seven. or eight stacks of wheat and oats, in which there was a dead horse, another nearly dead, a dead yearling heifer and a couple.of sheep 'with' lambs.. Roaming around there were about ,twenty head of cattle, wine]] - ivect by• depre- dations upon neighbors hay stacks: The, cause, of the death of his 'cattle was shear neglect, as: they, could neither. get water nor food sufficient. • • The isolation .of. settlers, caused by, their t akin p such largee tracts land will': be of very.serious: consequences -to the country and rising generation, a9: the residences ' are thus ao remote; from. each other that schools and churches become very difficult of construction. and Sustenance ;_ in- fact, schools during the winter, will bo almost out ofthe question, as this -number that can attend will be vary limit- e;d,.aud smallones not at all. Churches will also; necessarily,: be-, far apart; and: thus a danger of the population growing up with the .lack of .education and moral training... This isolation has 'also :another very serious. side it—people unaccustomed • to frequent' social • intercourse are less hospitable ;and. Communicative than those who are; of -which we hada trying proof. While tramping south of, Brandon our party got used up and wished to, rest through the night, and,' accordingly, at the first 'house they came to, requested to be permitted'' to •remain daring the night, •without putting them to the slightest trouble or inconvenience, and although they had plenty of room, and nothing to fear, as there were: two: Men in the house, we' were. utterly refused, and had to tramp two or three miles further, when we, came toa small shanty, owned, by the son of a late lumberer at Ottawa, where rest was obtained for the night. The settlers -of Manitoba,. in consequence of being occupied,' have not yet.take❑ • Much thought as to their political position or assumed any definite idea as to what princi- ples would -bo to their -''best •interest, • having, in, a„great-'measure-,;-,-separated :themselves from'their former associations; but in::copse- quence of the disallowance of the charter "of the South Eastern; Railway they : have been' awakened from their`, lethargy and they are now' opening.: their eyes to the fact that if;they are 'to enjoy the rights and liberties df a free people, and the ;proceeds of. their own labor, they must protest "'against and prevent' the carrying out of ,measures that would'.place them for ever.' under t.he weight of a crushing monopoly,. They have found out: by a'. costly experience that it will not: do for them to .de- pend upon one railway,_or that` that railway shall have such vast and unfair vested rights, rind as a proof'thatthey realise theme facts, meetings have been held at Portage la prairie to discuss the question, and at these meetin-s all united in protesting against the monopoly. _Some; say the Syndicate was not wise in their opposition to the'South Eastern, for. if th'y had permitted its construction they would have .pacified _the people and staved off a too close'inspeetion of their business ; besides it would have been a feeder for their western line and no detriment to their eastern traffic,' as, they will have mor 'than theYcan eoinfor- tably'do during certain portions of the year, till a double track is laid through. Minnesota •from St Paul. •I Blit few persons wonlajmagine_that` such immense drifts of snow. would •be heaped up in�_different;places on What appears to be a level prairie, as really was the case this year. Om -the -route -between -Winnipeg -and -Brandon, may'.bo seen banks of snow, dng from' theirail- way, eight and ten feet deep, and occasionally. evendeepei'. This snow blockade is. going to be an immense difficulty in. railway traffic ; during a'blizzard it will be Stopped altogether, and. on the cessation of the wind it will 're quire a 'small army to re•open the road. and ever after during winter•the cut become. the receptacle of the drifting snow A good deal ofi;thoughtleee talk has been"'uttered, abont the constructionof a railroad -to the north of lake Superior, to connect with the, Pacific. That idea'may be utterly abandoned, for even RIR were .built it could not be run .during winter, for wherever there were cuttings they could not be kept :open, for it is notlikely that that.section. will be settled for very many.: years to come and it•would .he almost im- ossible to import enough men and maintain Wein there to, do it.

We expect busy times again when the farmers get through seeding. During the last few months three of the most prominent churches have been undergoing repairs. The Methodist church of Canada has been thoroughly renovated from top to bottom, and now presents a very pleasant and comfortable appearance. The Rev. Joseph Philp, of 73elgrave, preached in the C. M. church on Sabbath evening he discoursed on tho sufferings; of Christ and ,the glory ,that should follow.- The sermon was highly appreciated•., by,. the large audience to whom it iyhs 'de livered, ' The quarterly of the C.M. church met on Monday. The returns from each {appointment show -that the circuit is in a healthy financial condition, only one ap- pointment outof six having any defi- ciency. The board passed a resolution expressing their regret that they were so soon to lose their present pastor, the Rev. Livingstone, and thanking him for the able manner—in which he had conducted the Business of this circuit for the last three years. Rev. Jos. S. Cook, junior pastor, was invited back for a second year, All the laborers in the village have found .work, with ' the exception of Pat Gannon, and Pat` will not work.

At. the, official meeting of the C. M. church on Monday, affairs in connection with the church were found to be in a gen- eral satisfactory state. It is the'umvtrsal. wish of the church ': c that a Pev. Mr. l. Birks, who has labored so efficiently in the cir- cuit for two years, should return again. I3LNMILLEIf.
