To the left spread a r lling BY PETER LISTOWEL pilairie where field after field was al eady sawn, while many acres still remai ed to LILLICO, . be put in with later crpps. The first place we arrived at ,was Mr -T omas Todd's, near whom his father and brother and also a Mr, Rothwell are settled. This is on thernail road, and Mr. Rothwell is postmaster of an office called Eillview. I can readily under- stand the name, for the country lay spread before us like a panorama. The prairie here is rolling, and this gives some of the finest 'situations for grain fields possible, has the slope is to the eolith and east. We enquir- ed the way to the farm of Mr. John Bond, a _former well-known resident of .tkrallace, but now one of the prosperous pioneers of this great country. We were shown his place about two miles Leaving Listowel on the 7th April and arriving in Toronto, I took the N. & N. W. Railevay to North Bay a small place of about 200 inhabitant , but it has the appearance of becorni g a flourishing town, it being the junc ion of the N. & N. W. and C. P. R. t The bay, from which the place takes its name, is a fine sheet of water, 60 miles long, and 20 miles wide, with a sloping bank of about 8 feet high, heavily timbered to the water's edge. Leaving North Bay ire run along the shore of Lake Nipissing, until we reach Sudbury, a flourishing little place of about 200 inhabitants. Passing GU, we reach Cha.pleau ; here are situated the round-howie and work- shops of the C. P. R. We are now corn- ing to the rocky and mountainous coun- try around Lake Superior. Passing on we pass White River, Heron Bay, and Jackfish, and other small stations, we reach Scribner, the centre of the mining district of Lake Superior, the copper mines being about 4 miles from here. The country around here is very rocky anti mountainous, and the scenery along the lake shore is „arand. Passing on, we rua along the lake shore, passing Mazo- kaina and Nepigoinwe reach the flourish- ingtown of Port Arthunwhich has a popu- lation of about 3000. The town overlooks Lake Superior. We now pass on and reach Winnipeg abotit 9 o'clock, on the morning of the 10th, that being Sunday. Winnipeg is growing:rapidly, and many buildings are under construction. I re- mained in Winnipeg until Monday, and then took the train for Brandon. I had a very pleasant run from Winnipeg to Brandon, and found the seeding well advanced. Brandon is also improving rapidly, and is one of the finest towns in Manitoba. I must say that I found the officials of the C. P. R. very obligina, and willing to give any information and assistance in their power. The track also, is apparently in a good condition, as the trains run along very smoothly. The dining and sleeping cars are first- class, which makes the journey very pleasant and comforta,ble and any patties going to Manitoba by the C. P. R., will have a pleasant and comfortable trip. While in Winnipeg I met Mr. McTavish, C. pa. land commissioner, who is look- ing well, and seemed to be enjoying good health. Land in Manitoba is selling fast, and emigration is increasing. I remain- ed in Brandon for a few days, and then started on the 20th of April for a trip to the Oak River District. I was accom- panied by Mr. G. S. Perry, of Brandon. The weather was fine, though a, little chilly while riding. The ground was in good condition for spring work, which was well advanced near Brandon. As we ; followed the C. P. R. west a few miles, ' the soil is light, in fact, one might say sandy; but as we go farther wt, and leave the line of the railway, following the valley of the Assiniboine closer, the soil becomes heavier, and yet, never gets beyond a strorignich loanewhich is easily worked. The acreage under cultivation la the immediate vicinity of Brandon, is s:nall, in comparison with the country further west. North of Alexandria and Gristvold stations, we passed many com- fortable looking farm -steads, one particle-. larly, which had a large frame barn on a good atone foundation, the property of a Mr. Hall. The farms looked to be in excellent condition, the tilling being well and carefully done. Many faun- ers have in the neighborhood of one hundred acres to put in crop this sea- son, and many more have considerably over that quantity. We noted. one especially fine barn, the propertyt of a Mr. Touchburn. He has a half sectioa most of which is under cultivation. A ravine runs through his place, and on the edge of it are his barn buildings and house, the latter being a cosy looking two storey frame building. From this place, which is twelve or fourteen miles from Brandon, the country along each gide of the trail, as far as the eye can SU(, is cultivated. Five miles or so more, brings us to Hall's Ferry, North of Grisi,vold station. Here, a fine bridge spans the river. This with two others a little farther west, was built last fall, and one more is expected to be built, which will cross the river a few miles east of this point, and north of Alexandria station. Mr. Hall, from whom the Ferry takes its name, would not take less than twelve thousand dol- lars for his farm. It is a splendid piece of land, lying along the bank of the river, and beside it is the ferry, which is now displaced by the new bridge. Mr. Hall has 225 acres of crop this seasen, 175 acres of which is wheat, and the bulk of which was sown before the letth of April. Mr. Samuel Hannah, a farmer a few miles from Mr. Hall's, has 250 acres of wheat sown, and 100 acres to sow with oats and barley. He had 5,000 bushels of wheat last year. Mr. Good, another neighbor, has 100 acreemf wheat, besides 50 acres of bar- ley and oats. Mr. Alexander Speers has 200 acres of wheat sown, and 100 acres to put in oats and barley. Wm. Buchanan has 150 acres of wheat sown. Alexander Young has 150 acres of wheat, and 50 acres to. put in oats and barley. We stopped for dinner with Mr. Hall, and could not but be pleased with his comforta,ble buildings. His house is frame and supplies the place of a larger 0110 which was burned a year or so ago. He has a large stone stable built, on the top of which he intends to put a frame barn. In the house we were met by Mrs. Hall, a very pleasant lady, who, with her two little girls, seemed to have been well used by this country. Leav- ing here, we erossed the Aasiniboine and were at once in the Oak Riyer Reseeve, a small strip of land lying along the bank of the river, and through which the Oak River runs to the Assiniboine. _Here we had to climb the bank of the rivenbut as the prairie hills are of so peculiar a nature, the ascent is much mere gradual than one would think. From the top we have a view of ,the country we have just passed over, and here I must leve your imagination to picture the fairy land scene which was spread before us. Words fail me when I attempt to describe the irnpressicns reeeivecl, when looking across this mag- nificent stretch of land. I had often heard of the "Great Lone Land," and heel tried to realize a vast solitary plain, but here was a fertile valley dotted with the homes of prosperous settlers, many of them. from your own neighborhood. lite great fields looked like the little ten are lots in Ontario would look wider the microscope. We soon passed, on, and found stretched before us another great plain, if passible more favored than that we had just left behind. Along our right sometimes in the distance and sometimes close a,t hand, flowed the Oak to the we hou of the us.

A well-known citizen and wife attended' the service, going thither, as was their custorh, in their own vehicle. When the meeting was over, the husband told the wife to be out at the door so as to be ready to go home when he came along with the horseand sleigh. She was promptly on time, and a team came up, a man held out his hand and helped her 'in, and drove off with her. They had not gone a great way when she said , "It seems to me you got the horse quick !"

Yours truly, F. H. WAHL. Waterloo, Feb. 3rd, 1887. eese 1 got this watch so ,wond'rous cheap - That I could scare believe it geed, But science with iti searehings deep, Has done what cfustorn never could, And I have proved the truth of this That highest val ie must attach To that which nev r goes amiss, The American " olumbus" watch. Its neatness is as 4nsurpassed As its good qualities are proved, 'Tis aecurate and iltinde to last, -A watch by pun tual men approved. An able ludge would pick them ont Of every maker'* in a batch, And none who tries will ever donbt. Papst's great "Columbus" watch. The makers to theipublie sell Their watches a , the lowest price; And all they do they do it well; ' Without one trait of false device. They don't incur a dime of debt, They have no-ddubtful scheme -s to hatch. And never has been equalled yet, The American " Columbus" watoh. I do admire the highest art, And love in all things excellence, For beauty seemsthe dearest pert, And worth the nost approved by sense; Beauty and worth combined have they, And if you wou d have both to match Decide without d lay to buy Papst' s great " pohimbus" watches.
