and hath suffered as grieviously as did. Vetoer.
The town fathers entered into a contract, with
the 0,P;It. Co. to build for the aouth-weetern
branclIstrtheir road a bridge across the Red.
River, which has a fame almost equal to that
of the Holmesville bridge. The. °eat of •con-
struction was in the neighborhood of $200,-
000, and the mune was to have been corn-
pleted within a time, which baa now elapsed,
and the town iii a prey to the threateninge of
the 0.P.R.Ots., the suits of contractors; bolds
the novel position of being held in execution
for judenients to the amount' of !limit 0140,-
000 or more, while the authorities, repulsed
by bankers! and private capitalists, are sup,
pliants for relief from the provincial treasurer,
and still, with all these difficulties, Emerson
appears to be busy and hopef41, and, if sbe
succeeds in settling with her creditors, bids -
lair to be a prosperous town, We here met
our young friend; Neil Matheson, son of Mr,
A. Matheson, having been placed full con-

This city is full of hope of a great •future,
and "dreaming dreams no mortal" city "ever

With a complete system•of aewerage,, and a

an alarm of fire was sounded, When not a fire
engine from any of the three fire halls has
been able to reach the fire, each and. every
one helplessly stuck in the mud. The'eity is
well equipped with memo for "putting out a
tire, and yet the oitizene are coinpelled•to
pay enormous rates of insurance, beeauseall
the fire appliances are at the merey of the

feature of •qinckly drying.' Wo reached the
city Friday ;miming, when the mad had .ftill
sway, on Sunday morning•the .roads were: in,
-many places dry and hard as oboard. .One
of the principal Rues of buifinesik in the city
is the hotel business' ; we did not attempt 'to
count, and we could. not. earnfrOM, !sestina

et painful thought that. the city with such

Winnipeg are eminently a oliureli-going :peo-
ple. We spent two Oundaye there, and on
comparing notes found .:erowded houses at
both morning andevening services There
is hope when a people put..themeelves . the

in high expectation to the -building of the
Hudson Bay road, and (Trey the, city. coin-

evideuee which has already been given by the
Moet reliable men, efore the (lento:Ogee ap-
pointed. byf the7/4anitoba Legislature to en.;
quire into the practicability of the navigation
of:the Bay, peales to prove conclusively, that
navigation there ifl open from, our to. six.

the railway, Winnipeg is 203; or 300 milts
nearer the' pureopean Markets ha.New York,

Thls scheme is brightening the hopes of the.
whole of the people of the..north•west, . who,
in -the. presence of a great doPressioa,•are
wonderfully hopeful. The growthand nia-
terial advancement.of Winnipeg is a 'Marvel.
The beautiful stores and immense dealt,
which are tube seen along Male streeVaigke
one wonder it they baye riot grown•from the
prairie. Through tha kindness of Mr. Wm.
White, formerly of Clinton, we had the op-
pprtunity of going through the establiehment
of 3. H. Ashdown, wholesale and retail hard-

awe than the bare prairie. There is some
good, land in the neighborhood of Carberry, a
141490 0l goo iAl*bitanto, and the only one of.
any importance between. Portage la rrairie
and Brandon; ate latter point we were
given an opportunity et taking a run up town,
which, for an infant of only a few eunimerli,
gives promise, both by its position on the As.
smibome, 130 miles wet of Winnipeg,. and
by the enterprise of its citizene, of being a
place of importance. • The town is assured
dry streets, 'being placed on toll of gravel,
on the southern bank the river, the Stilin.
mit of the ridge being 10 feet above the level
of low water mark, and thus placed beyond
the danger of flooding; the population of the
Place is now About 4,000. Tire land. lying be.
tween Brandon and Oak (Ake is considerably
broken by bluffs, and'ther soil is a little light.
Qn approaching Virden the land again be-
comes a level prairie soil, good and pretty
well settled. Virden is place of about 100
inhabitants. A shot distance west of Elk-
horn we cross the western boundary of Mani
toba. Fleming there is very.little settle.
meat country, bleffy and patched with ponds.
Around Moosomin the land is a rolling prai.
rie, with a good clay soil; this village ie quite
a large place of abnut 250 inhabitants; there is
a Dominion land office at this.point, The
land west from this point to Broadview is a
rolling prairie, the soil being a little light
near Wapella, mid near,Whitewood slightly
knolly, with bluffs..At and near Broadview
there is a very fine view of rolling prairie and
the soil is good. the train stopped at this
point for 30 minutes, to give the passengers,
an opportunity of being defrarided at what

prairie, with good soil,With indistinct
line of woodland to the south, and continues
of a similar nature until approaching Moose.
