A correspondent of the Pari S Trans-
_
Cript, who has recently returned from a
trip to Missouri, writes as follows !;
Having had ample time, I visited many
Canadiaus, and among otherS Rev. D.
MeRuer, Messrs. Walter and. William
Gladstone, John and Hugh Wallace, Pe-
ter McPherson, _R. Pringle and De Man-
ley, all formerly from Ayr, in the County
of Waterloo, and Mr. Thomas
Shilhug-
hW, froni Hibbert, County Of Perth.
They are all well and doixig well, and
seem quite contented and happy. All
have good houses; to live hi'and there is
an evidence of thrift and prosperity
among them all qaite pleasing to note.
They have all good stoeks of cattle and.
hogs, and great stocks of poultry. The
poultry is consumed at home, as they
ave no profitable market for them
Talking about hogs, he says Mr. MeRti
er has 45 that will weigh 300 apiece
bat as yet they ai-e only, as his reverenc
calla them, wind -splitters," as thin a
shads. In addition to these, he has 50
young, ones which he intends to keep
over. It will take 150 biashels of con
to transform. a wind•splitter into a 300
poand fat hog. They have a war o
fattening hogs out t4re which is rather
repulsive, but it is profitable, -When
they put the steer e up to fatten or feed,
they put a certain' number of hogs with
them to eat up the droppings, and get
the good. out of unniesticated corn. Corn
is quoted at 35 cents, but will not realize
maeh more than 15 e4nts per bushel.
while rye is quoted.at 65 cents. Fall
wheat gives a very large yield per aere,
ancl the crop this year loots well. There
are considerable patches of timber here
and there, bat not -in auch poaitions as
to break the view. The houses are built
on. the high ground, to keep u.ra as much
aa possible, from the dampness so prev-
alent in the low bottoms in the evenings..
From one of these houses 60 or 70 other

STiP,PociATED. IN* A...40SM —Tiara pool,
England, has also been the scene of a sad
event, very similar to that of the il, istle-
toe Bciugh. A. gentleman by the name of
Kelk, cashier to a building firm - here,
had recently got married. He g, ve a
partylat his house. "His young *ife,"
says al paper, " in .her anxiety to ge out

dwellings can be counted, and the loneli-
ness of a Canadian backwoods is not
felt, and the constant twinkling of the
house lights over the prairie at night
presents a cheery aspect. The growth
of everything is great, and th4 of the
native prairiegrass something, marvelous.

"A Good Hammer."
Twenty-nine years ago, svhen David
Maydole was a roadside blacksmith at
orwich., 14 ew York, six carpenters came
to the villaaea, from the next county to
work upon a new church, one of] whom,
having left -his hanun,er behind, came to
the blacksmith's to get one made, there
being none in the village store. I
"Ma:keine a geed, one," said the car-
penter, "as good- a one as yo4 know
how." . ,
"But," said the young blacksmith,
who had already considered h. •;:;; ers,
and had arrived at SOIDO notion f what
a hammer ought to be, and had al proper
contempt- for cheapness in all its forms,
"perhaps you don't want to payf for as
good a one as I can make."
"Yes, I do; I -want a good. hal-Omer."
and so David Alay-dole' made la good
hammer, the best one probably t A had
ever been made.suice Tubal Cain, nd one•
enter.
J.next day the.maa'a five companions s
dame, eaeh of them wanting : just Isuch a
hammer, and when they -were done the o
employer came and. ordered two more.
Next the storekeeper of the village order- t
ed two dozen, which were bought by a - a
New York tool merchant, who !left a e
standing ordea for many such hainmers t
as David Maydole could make. Anal g

Crime in Ireland.
A great mass of information as to the
social condition of Ireland has just been
ublished in some criminrl and judicial
!
rav*.er descriptions of crime are still on
tatis ties by Dr. Wilson Ilandcock. The
. he decrease, and the number of indict-
ble offmces last year was one-third per
ent. less than in the previous twelve
onths. Assaults and the minor erimes
-hich are withiu the summary jurisdic-
t Ott a the magistrates, however, are in-
-c easing at an alarming rate, and the
umber of cases disposed of in 18.3 was
2)3,843, no fewer than 12,373 more than
I; the previous year. Dr. Handcock at -
t finites the rapid growth of these offences
to the greater indulgence of the people in
iAtoxicating drink, and observes that an

1873 -was 30 per cent. as compared with
( S.7 per cent. in England and Wales, but

G aracter. The Belgian etatisties slow a
