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

An amusing incident occurred not long
since la the close of an evening meeting
of one of our churches. 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 !" The
man looked at her a moment in surprise
on hearing a strange voice, and exclaim-
ed : "Good gracious! f have got the
wrong woman." He turned the horse
around and drove back to the place of
meeting, where an exchange was made,
and he started Once more with the right
woman. -Concord Monitor.

I feel it my duty to infdrin you how highly satis-
fied I am with the double eass d gold Columbus
watch I purchased Iron' you some months ago.
1 care not how much Ioney is paid for a watch,
it is impossible for any watch to keep more cor-
rect time than mine, as I have not touched it for
over three months, except to wind it up, and I
compare it every little while with the leadin -
regulators, which finds my watch correct.

But science with iti searehings deep,

That highest val ie must attach

Its neatness is as 4nsurpassed
As its good qualities are proved,
'Tis aecurate and iltinde to last,

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
