DEAR Sn,—I thought n few lines from
ms to let you koala how I have been get-
ting along would not be out of place. I
left Ethel on the 21st of March, at noon.
The oar with my goods and ohattels arriv-
ed at York station, east of Toronto, at 11
o'clock the soma night. After an hours'
delay we got the car ren Clown to the
cattle yard and unloaded the horses and
nettle, and took them to a friend's place
where I left them, and then drove oat
home to let the folks know we had erl•iv.
ed. Next morning teams were on hand
and hefine noon everything was out of
the oar ready for the march to Wexford,
where we arrived in good time with
everything in good order. I found the
roads in a fearful condition ; they were
nearly impassible. There had been no
snow since Christmas and the frost came
out and the rota were nearly axle deep.
In some places there had to he brush and
straw used before teams Could get along
with even half a load. On Good Friday
rho weather changed and the roads were
frozen up again for some time. Between
the frost and strong winds the roade dried
up until they ware as dusty as they are
in the summer ; there was a snow storm
since then, and weather has been plate -
ant since, Seeding is well advanced ; at
present quite a number are done ; I have
five notes of oats to sow and then I am
through. Before I olose I wish to tender
my thanks to those friends who helped
me to take my goods to the station and
load them in the oar ; and to other friends
for their hind wishes when bidding me
good bye ; also to Mr. Heyd, the agent at
Ethel, for his courtesy and kindness. I
oleo send my best wishes for the success
of TEE POST and all connected with it.
