From Algoma.
PORT FINLAY, ALGOMA, Aug. 29th, 1885.
DEAR EXPOSITOR;—I have now been
here for nearly three years, and always
intended to write you a few lines, but
wanted to wait a while until I would
see a little of the country. I have
treveilled the roads now from Thessalon.
to,Sault Ste. Marie, a distance of about
sixty-five miles; and over two-thirds of
the land in that distance is fit for culti-
vation, and is first-class -farming and
grazing , land. The- soil, as a general
thing; is of a red elay, with the mostof
it covered with,from three inches to a
foot of black or sandy loam on the
top. I have also travelled over the
greater portion of St. Joseph's Island,
and it is about the same, with about
two-thirds of it fit for cultivation, and
the remaining part is occupied by rock
and small lakes. . The crops here are
good this year. The fall wheat and
barley is all cut and in, and quite a bit
of the other spring grains is cut. This
month has been very wet here, and on
the,13th day of August a 'tremendous
hail storm t visited a part of this town-
ship (Laird); , destroying Mr.- Wm.
Headly's wheat and some of hie , other
spring grain. It cut his wheat down to
the ground. • Mr. Headly Was formerly
of Goderich. It also destroyed some ,of
Mr. John McLeod's grain. He was for-
merly of Bruce county. Worst of all, it
completely destroyed about fifty acres
of crop for Mr. Jas. Bruce: formerly of
Woodstock. The storm was only'about
half a mile wide, and the hailstones fell
as large as goodsized hen eggs. On the
night of the 24th we had a. slight touch
of frost, but it did not do much harm,
only blackened soneeeof the potatoes a
little and someeether garden stuff. It
was worse in the small clearings where
the wind could not get. The -root crops
are good; the hay was light on account
of the dry weather in May and June,but
the wild hay meadows are pretty good,
only where it has been cut for many
years it.is run out. This grass, blue
Joint, as we call it, grows very high and •
thick. 1 pulled two stalks on father's
place, one of them measuring ten feet
good, in length, and the other eight feet
and ten inches, and that you will belie'
me I will send them down to you. It
makes splendid fodder for the cattle in
the winter. This is a good place i for all
kinds of berries and wild fruit. There
are wild plums, currants, gooseberries,
huckleberries,' low and ' high bush
cranberries, straw and raspberries, and
several other kinds too numerous to
mention. There are also lots of hazle
bushes here, and they are well loaded
- this year. The land is very easily cleared,
as a general thing, the timber bein

There are also lots of valuable overflow-

It is an iron spring, and . the water is
very healthy to drink., Now for the -

Nott, an ord Hullettite, say* that he
never had better crops in his time than
he has this year. He has a noble farm
of about 575 acres, which is situated on
Bear lake; but a short distance from
Port Finlay, where there is a store and
post office; and ' he is about 30 miles
from Sault Ste. Marie, or about 15 miles
from the &nee mines. He and his
family are well; and doing well. Any
person wanting land up here ought to
come up early this fall,—after harvest
they will do ebest. All that is wanted
here now is a railroad, and I am sure we
willseon have that now. We may thank
the Mowat Government for building us
roads through this country. With these
few remarks I will now draw to a close,
and thanking you for a space in your
valuable paper, 11 remain yours truly,

Mission Work in'the New

tianity could not aecomplish as great a
work no as in the days ofthe apostles?
It is our privilege and our honor to
aid in this great and glorious work. In
the brief time allotted to me, I shall
speak more particularly of my own
sphere of work—the New Hebrides, part
of one of the South Sea Island group*.
Work was begun there 37 years ago by
two missionaries. The whole group was

frighful accident occurred near
Lake ld in the county of Peterboro,
on F iday morpizig 'last. Two men
whose names are supposed to. be Morton
and S mrnons were pi oceedieg along the
road ith a team of horses and waggon.
The aggon contained twenty cases of
clynan ite which by Home means or other
exploded. The men and the team of
horse were blon-n to pieces, The shock
was f t for miles around in the surround-
ing co ntry,a.nd it was thought there had
been n earthquake. The force of the
terrifi concussion made an excavation
in th road and surrounding swamp
fully 50 feet wide and at one place not
less than ten het deep. Not
fragm nt of the Wagon, . excepting the
tongue, is to be seen, but the horses,
which1 were hurled 50 feet from thespot,
ate ly ng one on each side of the road,
in the swanap torn and mangled beyond
descri tion. The shoes were actually
torn fforn their hoofs and the harness
stripp d into shreds and scattered far
and • ear. A search in the bushes
aroun however,brought to light ghast-
ly pr ofs of the terrible fate of the men,
althot gh in fragments so email that some
diffic lty was experienced in finding
them. In one place, more than a hun-
dred ards from the spot, the remnant
of a h nd torn from the arm was picked
up; and hilly 60 yards from the Beene
of the eiplosion the scalp of one of the
victims covered with bite& hair was
foiled . The parts of the bodies 'were
-scattered so far apart and were so small
in size that they gave no clue whatever
as to 1vhothe men were. The men are
said t be named Morton and Simmons,
and t4 have lived. in Tweed.
