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.

This epring' 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.

Through tha kindness of Mr. Wm. White, formerly of Clinton, we had the op- pprtunity of going through the establiehment of 3. H.

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 has been Styled a lunch rem.
