have effects to forward, (other than live
stock), would do well to have them on
the way as soon as possible. It would
nettle wise to ship live stock here for
'some time yet, as the road between here
and St. Paul is in such a demoralized
and over -crowded condition thatteait
-should be allowed some time to kork
itself clear and get the track in' good
•order before being trusted with any such
perishable freight as horses and cattle.
Besides this, the Winnipeg horse rattr-
ket is somewhat overstocked just now,
as people do not care to buy till they
tan take the animals oat on the plains
.and use them. I have no doubt,however,
that as soon as the prairies are in such
a condition as to render travel practica-
ble, the demand for sotuad, useful
horses here will be excellent.

engines, and was composed of several
other trains which, had been snow
bound, and had been picked up on the
-way and consolidated. Some of the
people had been four and five days on
theroad from St. Paul, and experienced
considera.ble vicissitudes. It is to be
hoped that this will be the last experi-
ence of the kind this season. It is esti-
mated that a thousand people came in
yesterday. There was a busy scene at
the depot in the afternoon, when some
two thousand people assembled to greet
. the newcomers: Many expected friends,
and others were there pimply through

A HEAVY Loss.—Seeing that there
was no chalice of his recovery, Mr.
James Horton put an mad to. his
valuable stallion "Lord Lothian," by
having him killed, and thus relieving
him of the extreme agony he was sub-

Colquhoun, of Hibbert. Mr. Brown
will travel this horse during the coining
season through. the townships of Hib-
bert, MeiCillop and Logan. The horse
is a good one, and Mr. Brown is such a "

well liked by every person, that he will
be sure to do a large business, go where
he will.

CLINTON.
The Spring Show of the township of
Hullett Agricultural opiety, was held
in Clinton on Tuesday last, and was
very largely attended, farmers mani-
festing a very great interest therein.
The exhibition of entire horses particu-
larly in the throe -year old class,was un-
usually good, and the judges had no
easy task in deciding as to the superi-
ority of the different animals. In moat
cases, however, their judgment seemed
to be sustained by those outside the
ring. In Durhams there were only
three entries—these, however, of good
quality, and they plainly gave evidence
of the great improvement made in this
class of stock during late years. The

The Perils of a Winter Journey
'in the Northwest.
Under date of Qu 'Appelle, March
1st, a correspondent gives the following
thrilling description of a journey re-
cently made in the Northwest. He
begins: "On Sunday, Feb. 19, a party
men under the command of Mr. W. T.
0. Bourchier,who are on their way to the
foot of the Rocky mountains, or there-
abodts, arrived at the elbow of the Sas-
katchewan river. They heard that two
men were lying in Mr. Lumsden's sur-
veying camp dangerously frozen, and
that their condition was critical. It
happened that one of, Mr. Boarchier's
party, Mr. Henry S. King, had some
experience in the dressipg and treat-
ment of wounds. He , immediately
offered to go over and see what he could
do for thent. Upon entering the little
hut where they were lying, he found a
sad sight. Upon a rude bed lay one
man, Smith, with both his feet frozen
front the ankles down, also the tops of
the fingers of both hands. His feet
presented a sickening appearance, for.
owing to their having been frozen and
"thawed out" three times, they were
in a terrible chndition, the left one was
almost skinless, and had already began
to mortify at the heel and toes. Mr.
R. C. Macdonald, the other, was not
quite so bad a case. He had both feet
frozen from the insteps to the toes, his
left foot being much the worse of the
two. The two cases presented a mark-
ed difference. Macdonald, who is a
small hard looking little fellow of about
28 or 30, was quite cheerful, and seem-
ed to keep up a good heart in spite of
his trying position. Smith, on the
other hand, appeared to have received
a shock both in body and mind, as he
was perfectly helpless, and at times
wandered in his mind. He Gould not
move hand or foot without aesistance,
and could retain noth ng on his
stomach, not even water, of which he
drank large quantities. Irr. King saw
at once that the only chance for saving
his life was to amputate the left foot
and most of the toes of the right. But
unfortunately not an instrument was
within three hundred' miles—not even a
start early on Tuesday morning, Mon-
day being occupied in preparations for
the journey. At first it • was decided
that two men would convey the frozen
men t� Qu'Appelle, as it was almost
impossible to spare more. Mr. King
explained that it woutd be necessary to
dress their feet every day on the jour-
ney down at least two or three times,
and that they would require very care-
ful treatment. Smith had to be fed
just like a child, being as helplesain
every way as a two week' old baby,
and it would be a difficult matter to
get a man to dress his feet, owing to
the terribly oppressive smell which
they emitted. He (Mr. King) *as
himself suffering from a lame knee, the
effects of a sevete fall on the ice, and it
would be a matter of great personal
risk and inconvenience for him to turn
back from his party and
acemaPantv
the injured men to Qu 'Appelle. How-
ever, he volunteered his services to Mr.
McDonald to attend him on his jourt
ney down, which was most gladly ac-
cepted. Owing to the critical state of,
the sufferers, Mr. King considered it
necessary to travel night and day if,
possible. On Tuesday night they;
pitched their tent, at dark, aS the pa-
tients were rather fatigued with their
long day's journey. During the nigh
Smith raved in delirium, and at time
became so violent that he had to b
held down, yet during his ravinge h
seemed to regain' the use of his arm
and body. On Wednesd.ay mornin
they started at daylight. Smith wa
quieted and seemed not to suffer muc
pain. All through the day, at interval
he would wander, and at night it wa
necessary to camp again on his)acoonnt
No sooner had he eaten supper' than h
became, like the night previous, a ray
ing maniac. As nomme had been abl
to sleep the night before, and as it we,
necessary that McDonald should have
sleep, a sleeping draught was adminis-
tered to Smith, which had the effect of
sending him into a good sleep.
On Thursday morning he awoke and.
appeared quite rational. He thanked
Mr. King for the great kindness he had
shown him, said he had not power to
express his gratitude, and hoped be
would forgive him for all the trouble he
gave. He complained very much
of his head, but eat a hearty breakfast
of prepared coni and brandy (which by
the way was the principal food on which
he lived since the Sunday ' on which
Mr. King first saw • him, It was the
only thing which his stomach would re-
tain, and Mr. King made it fresh for
him every day on the journey.) Dur-
ing the forenoon of Thursday he seemed
better, his feet gave him less pain, but
a change then took place, and be began
wandering. Every five minutes the
sleighs had to be stopped, to either
give him a drink or to shift his position.

—On Monday night some one bro e
into Morrison's tore, in Bayfield, a d
stole therefrom t o cemplete snits
clothes, even to •oots,, leaving part of
their old clothes behind. There is
clue as to who t e thieves were. -
—On Wednes ay morning about t
o'clock the inha itants in the neighb r -
hood of the Ex ter tpost office, were
aroused by a fea 1 explosion, and al-
though one oe two got up and looked
out, they neve suspected the true
cause. An exa ination in the morn-
ing revealed the fact that the safe in
the post office ha been blown open, by
a small hole beig bored in the pot,
powder poured ii, a fuse attached., and
the flame appled. The conoussien
t, blew the window in the rear and the
e: larger panes in iront completely out.
A number of the glasses in the outside
of the letter bo es were smashed to
t: pieces. The par uitions were consider -
g • ably sprung. Th safe in the exprees

h: was not heavy, only a few poste e

At 4 o'clock they stopped for dinner,
and it *as seen that Smith was in a
sinking condition. Mr. King made him
some hot brandy and tea, but he could
-only take a small quantity of it, and:at
4.20 he expired quietly, apparently
without pain. This was a terrible
shock to the whole party*, especially
MoDonald, who became very nervous
and excited, although Mr. King inform-
ed him that he had told Mr. Lumsden
before they started that he did not ex-
pect Sinith would. live more than half
way down.
The party were still about 180 miles
froin-Qu 'Appelle, which they reached
on Sunday night at 11.30. It was
necessary to rest all day Friday owing
to the tired state of both men and
horses, BO that the long journey had
been accomplished in the wonderfully
short time of five days, which is quite
a feat in this season of the year, con-
sidering their loads and the roads they
had to travel, which were very bad.
At times they were plowing through
snow up to their hips, at others walking
on crust, which was very trying both on
horses' and men, and cutting the poor
horses' lege in a terrible manner. At
Qa 'Appelle McDonald was handed
ever to the charge of Staff -Sergeant
Holmes, in charge of the police hospi-
tal, where he received every kindness,
but incredible as it may appear, they
are totally without instruments of any
kind. They have applied expressly to
the department for such things, and it
is taken no notice of whatever. It was
therefore necetsary to send McDonald
on to Brandon for surgical treatment,
and Inspector Steep, commanding at
this place, most kindly allowed a ser-
geant and men to couvey him thither,
whence he started this morning, after
receiving every kindness, in charge of
Staff -Sergeant George Frazer. Mc-
Donald was most anxious that Mr.
King would accompany, but this, he
said was impossible, as he had to make
his way back to join his party. Too
much praise cannot be given to Mr.
King and his two assistants, McCoulley
and Gatterneau, for their unselfish
treatment of these poor men, who,
though entire strangers to them, were
treated as though they had. been broth-
ers. It is hard for, those who live in
old settled places, *ith every comfort -
for travelling, to form an adequate idea
of the danger and perils of such a jour-
ney as they had just accomplished,
with two helpless men, who had to be
lifted. in and out of their sleighs, wash-
ed and dressed like children, and in
danger of dying at any moment. It is
to be sincerely hoped that McDonald
will reach Brandon in safety and will
come through the, operation safely; It
will be necessary to amputate his left
foot and part of the right, owing to his
being unable to obtain surgical treat-
ment sooner.
Smith was handed over to the pollee,
and Hospital Superintendent Holmes
made an examination of the body, and
stated that deceased died from blood
poisoningmand that death must halm
resulted from his injuries in any case,
as he could not possibly have stood the
surgical operation which would have
been necessary to give him a chance
for life. On account of his being an ex -
policeman, he was buried by them with
Births.
