We copy the followiog interesting -letter
from the Hamilton Spectator
I left Hamilton July 20th, 1880, an ar-
rived in Winnipeg on the 24th of the same
month. After a stay of IITO dap to purohasa
horses, carts and supplies I proceeded on the
$0th on my journey, and arrived at Fort
Mice on the lath of August, a diotanoe of
$110 Milton a monotonous lourney-nothing
but the egiteak of the Bed River (saris from
3Morning till night, then eamp. At the Fort
I otopped one day an4 bouteht several artiolea
for myself and patty: Then we .otarteil on
our watt, and arrived at the work on the 21st
of Augtist. The weather was fine, though
there waa e good dee' of rain 'between
the Otith of Auguat and tho 7th
.01 September. After that fine days

and • olear weather. Nothing particular
then but hard work;Theweather for the
season wae ais fine as I have seen it in On -
