lire.• -I am in receipt of yonr favor and I
Int -ten to reply. Wo IMO had a Aplendld
winter so far, having had no storms of any
ateao nt. We have about ten inobos of snow
on an average, or, perhaps less. The ther-
mometer has been low'taveral areas, down
to 300 and. once •15 , but no wind. Our
wheat has been good in quality and quantity
and prices remarkably gnutl compared with
other marimba in the United Status and Eas-
tern Canada, No, 1, 72ote ; No. 2, 65 to 67e;
inferior qualities, caused by being out too
seen, varying from 48 to 570 per bushel ;
oats 30e., and barley 25 to 300 ; there is not
lunch barley for sale on account of tho de-
mand for pork, which is selling lively at
66,60 to 37.00 per cwt. The following will
give you an idea of how farming in this Pro-
vince will pay, I have taken particular pains
t0 a,0ertain the correct wages paid for tite
various branohea of work done on a feren.
I will give you just the profits) of a nitre spec.
ulator i{1 farming, who did non° of the work
himself t --Preparing, breaking, and back-
settifig an acre 35 ; Seedier an sore, $1.50 ;
Patting in ;crop, 31 ; Cutting an,). binding,
90c.; Twine used to the sore, 35e.; Stooking,
260.; Stacking, 31; Threshing, 31.25 ; Mar-
keting, 61,76 --Total, 613 ; Ptioo realized
from produce of an afire 616.75. Profit,33.75.
You will nation that in this list breaking is
Included, whish costs 63,50 an aero, and.
should not bo inoluded, as the same remits
ea/.be had in after crop if oars it taken in
work. This you will see that at least 07.00
an acre profit can be realized out of an expen-
diture of $13.00 on land which can be bought
for from 35 to 310 an acro. !You will also
notice that the wages paid are fair living
wages, which the farmer earns himself if he
does his own work. What may be done by
al farmer and ono hied hand, a binder,
sulky plow, harrows, three horses, and a
yoke of oxeu. He can handle from 150
to 200 acres of crop, thus making a clear
profit of at least 38 to 310 per acre on an
average as the figures I have given for
work wilt pay for machinery, &a., used on
the farm, hi*ed help, neo., and keep up the
running expenses. I want you to show
these tlgares to some of our friends who
think we aro remaini ghore enduring hard-
ships for the chance f some day fishing
for a whale in a horse trough.
Remaining, yours truly,

Another Pioneer Gone.
One by one the old land marks, so to
speak, are passing away, and very soon there
will be none left to tell the talo of the diffi-
culties encountered and the privations en-
dured by our sturdy fathers, who, by their
energy and perseverance have made this fair
Canada of ours what it is. It is our duty to
keep in fond remembrance those departed
ones, whose early struggles in the rude for-
ests of Canada have left us the rich 'legacy
we now enjoy. Among those who have thus
labored and passed away to their reward, we
must give au honored plaoe to the late Rich-
ard Delbridge, of lot 8, oon. 8, Ueborne, .who
departed this life on Feb. 18th, '85. Deceased
was born in Linton, Devonshire, England, on
the 13th Juue, 1803, and had therefore
reached the ripe age of 82 years. For sever-
alyears previous to coming to this country;
he was engaged as a shepherd at Exmoor
Forest. In 1835 he married, and 14 years
- fer, together with his wife and four chil-
dren, emigrated to this country, settling in
the township of Lobo,, Middlesex, • on the
farm at present occupied by L. E. Shipley,
Eaq., where•he resided•#our years. In 1853
heremoved to Ueborne, coming here when•
this township was a veritable wilderness;' ho
having to underbrush a road through the
woods to allow his oxen to pass from Elite -
villa to the lot whish he had aeleoted for ,i is
home.. From that • period to,his death he
a atohedwith, pleasure, and materially as-
\elated the growth of this township„ to its
resent prosperous condition, saw the forest'
fag, all around him, as it were, by magio,end
raw nby his hard labor and aseistanee he

ife&nd him ha quietly . pegged away,
leaving a bright testimony benind him of a
hope 10 a glorious resurreotion. Deceased

d was for'beverelyears: a Sundae 'school

in connection with the : Bible Christian
