the Yorkshire -and nativg breeds the best.

them in good condition for the spring's

D 6.th of' Mr. J.': A. Carrall, of
- Stratford.
The statement made, a short time ago,
re4tive to the health of Mr. J. A. ar-
ra' , will have prepared our readers for
puhlish of that gentleman's early death.
th sad announcement we have now to
Th1s deeply and universally -regretted
evee: iit took place at the residence - of his
bru
t
her, near, Woodstock, on the night
of Monday lat. Mr. Carrell was strick-
en down in the very prime of life. There
was nothing a few months ago to give in-
dication against the realization of the
hope of his being spared for many years
longer to carry. out the plans he had ma-
tured. of public usefulness. He had just
arranged for the erection . this spring of
a handeome block of buildings on the
Marketi Square, when insidious disease
seized him and hurried him to the grave.
Mr. Carrall was one of our oldest and
most respected. citizens, and as . Mayor
e p
has held the highest position in the gift
of ris fellow -townsmen. He was also
tholdest racticing barrister in Strat-
funk ae lwas simple and. unostentatious.
in 111s life and -manners, and his kindly
displosition made him a favorite with all.
In accordance with his i wish, the remains.
were brought to Stratford, where the in-
terment took place on Wednesday. The
funeral was very largely -attended, the
_
members • of the Bar, 'both of Stratford
and St.. Marys, beingpresent in their
robes; and the stores and other places of
business were closed. --iBencon.

Crhehere.— The climate is healthy, :
both to natives and foreigners. The
Spring sets in about the first of April.
The snow disappears as if by magic, and
in a few days the prairies are covered
with a profusion of flowers,. and cattle
out grazillg in all directions. We eom-
men6e ploughing from the 8th to the 16th
of A ril, and there is generally no rain
to k sp seedieg• back. Barley may be
*own as late as the 20th of Jtme,and
give a, -good return. 1 Sumner here. is
4initeas warm as in Ontario, but the
nigh e Mostly always cool, and a pleas-
ant reeze blowing acrdas the prairies al-
most every night in the summer. The.
Fall is the most pleasant time of the year,
there being very little rain and 'just cool
enour h for a man to work comfortably-.
One ereat peculiarity about this country
is, that - graiu ' will never grow in the
stook, although left out till snow falls.
/Winter sets in. from the middle of No-
vember to the first of December ; there
is generally very little SDOW IlDt,11 about
Christmas. There is neither thaw nor
ram here during the winter, consequent;
ly th winter is quite dry and pleasant..
It is as cold here as in Ontario, and some-
times M the months of January and Feb-
ruary a little colder, but the weather be-

Breaking prairie is done best in June, so
that if you are coming, you must come
early and get some land broke up for
next year's crops. The land is a high
and rolling prairie. Sprinks in this part
are scarce, but there is plenty of go id
water to be had by digging from 12to 16
feet: Tke land is good to the Rocky
Mountains; with plenty of woad and
water, in many places offering good facil-
lities for settlement. ,11 you bring 'horses,
don't load too heavy from St. Pane's, and
feed well on the way. Oxen will not rc-.
quire anything on the way orcept grass;
and will travel at the rate of 25 msles per
clay. A few good. tools are very homely,
you might also fetch a set of harteiw
teeth and a logging chain, a few devises,
and anything that you might think of.
