SEAFORTII, FRIDAY, Aug. 5, 1881
The Dominion Census.
The returns of the Census taken last
spring by the enumerators have at
length been made public. The result
is very satisfactory, skewing, as it 'doe's,
that our Dominion has at least made
reasonable progress Within the last
decade. The population of Ontario is
given at 1,913,460, being an increase of
292,609 knee 18717 Quebec shows a
population of 1,358,469, being )an in-
crease ,of 166,953. The present opula-
tion of Nova Scotia is If40,585, being an
increase of 52,785 in the ten years;
New, Brunswick's population is 321,129,
an increase of 35;5.35; :Prince Edward
Island has a population of 107,781, an
inereaee of 13,760 over 1871. The
population of Manitoba, that is the old
Province before the extension of the
boundaries, was 49,509; and British
Columbia. has • a population of 60,000,
being an increase in the ten years of
26,414. The total population of the
Dominion is 4,350,933, being an increase
since 1871 of 664,337. In the Province
of Ontario there was a decrease of pop-
ulation in 12 electorial districts ;* in
Quebec 7, and in New Brunswick 2. In
the other Provinces there were no de-.
creases. The counties in Ontario which
show a decrease are: Frontenac, 1,=
317; Lennox, 76 ; East Hastings, 261;
West Northumberland, 347; East Dur-
ham, 34.; West Durham, 759; Ni-
agara, 248; Harldimand, 416 ; North
Wentworth, 1,400; Halton, 676; North
Middlesex, 8.76; South Perth, 362.
We are glad to notice that our own
county Shows a good increase. The
population of the South Riding is put
down at 23,385, being en increase of 1,-
873 since 1871; the population of the
Centre Riding is 26,479, an increase of
3,688, and that of the North Riding i8
26,127, showing an increase of 4,265. It
will be noticed that in so far as pepula-
tionis concerned the three Ridings are
very nearly the same, and the larger in-
crease in the North and Cen‘re Ridings
over the South, is due to the fact that
portions of them were newer and more
sparsely settled in 1871, and have con-
' sequently filled up since. The total
population of the County is 75,991, and
the increase in the decade is 9,826. We
notice here that while South Perth
shows a decrease of 362, the North
Riding has added to its population the
very large Immber of 8,851. The
following table, which should, be pre-
served, shows the population of each
electorial district in Ontario and: the
increase made by each since 1871, the
year the last official census was taken :

Notes from Norquay,,Manitoba.
To the Editor of the Huron Expositor.
DEAR :-We are having beautiful
weather here at present. By all ap-
pearance the rein of this seasonis about
over. The crops of all kinds are look-
ing splendid -especially the wheat I
think I never saw better spring wheat
at this time of the season than what lies
between here and Township 7, Raw°
12, west, a distance of 18 or:20 miles by
the trail. *The root crops also look
well, and there is great prospect of
large yields this fall. The wild prairie
hay crop ie plentiful, and the anxious
and industrious settler is digging into
it with all his Might at present -securing
his share for next winter's feeding. We
had a slight frost on July 9511, but it
did not injure the beans nor potatoes.
Some of the old settlers here after
getting their patent or deed for their
lands are now 1selling at a pretty good
figure. One tqati named J.. Erie sold
his hall faction for $2,000 cash. The
land is inerea4ng in value very fast
heie. The roads are very good at
present. One, can drive over the
prairie anywhere.
Hien WATER. -The water in the As-
einboine River has been .higher this
summer than it was ever known before.
The houses in Grand Valley had three
feet of water in them, and owing to the
sudden rising of the river two ferries
were taken aveayethe -one at Smart's
crossing and Tee at Hamiltoneacross-
ipg. However," they were seen ey the
officials onlionee of the boats and were
tied up until the proprietors conld. get
them. The cause of the high water is
said to be heavY rains out west of here
near Devil's Lake, -which eattsed the
Lake to overflOw and etarted a channel
to run into the river, and now the
water of this Lake empties into the
Assinboine, which it never done before.
This will likely help the Northwest
Transportation Company considerably,
as they'will be able to run their boats
much later in the season than they
fornaerly could.
