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. , Letter from Manitoba. - I The Woodstock Review publishes a let- ter f'rom Manitoba, in reply to inquiries madh by a gentleman, residing.* Wood- stock, respecting that Province, and she indu sine -lite it offers to settlers,--frem m whin.' we ake a few extra.as 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.

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- ing -'steady and dry we do feel it any Coldc2f than we did in Ontario.

They are steadier and •easier fed. ln summ r, after working them day, you h ve onlv t� take them out on the prairi and they are jest as fresh as ever in the morning; in the *inter they work well on hay, whereashorses 1 require lenty et gram both winter and. a summer.

There is 1 pleutyl of land for thousands, hut I would ot take the responsibility of advising any one to come ; von must use your own bscrction about that. There ere plenty • of fish and game,—geese, ducks, prairie chickens, snipe, etc. There are iienty of gcod chances for building and fencing. 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.
