We received last week a piece of maple
sugar from Mr. Byrou Francis, of Poplar
Point, Manitoba, formerly of Usborne town-
ship. The sugar is of a lighter color than
that manufactured here, but has a similar
taste. It was made on ttue banks of the As-
s°niboine Riyer, about thirty-five miles from
Winnipeg. People in Ontario !who are of
the opinion that maple sugar cannot be made
in the prairie country, aremirtaken, as it can
although in small quantities compared with
what is made in Ontario. The trees are
small and in some places quite numerous,
but do not seem to be a good sap -producing

, yon have labored earnestly and incessantly,
both in the church aud out of it, your only
aim seeming to be to benefit yoar fellow

to our common Creator and Redeemer ; and
we rejoice to know that your faithful laborer
have been owned and blessed by Him, who
