Fishing in the Maitland has been
excellent so far this season, in fact
for bass and pickerel it is safe to
say that in no place in the Domin•
ion could it bo excelled. It is
straango that so few people outside
of Goderich aro aware of the splen•
did sport the town affords adopts
with the rod and line. Here in the
prettiest town in Canada there has
not been a day the past season, that
a practical wielder of the rod could
not land from fifty to a hundred
beauties, and as boats cau always be
obtained it seems surprising that our
teeming waters are not always cover-
ed with pleasure seeking sportsmen.

With reference to' the death of
the late John Ilyslop We,copy from
the Fenelon Falls Gazette of June
the 28th. ' It may he mentioned
that the deceased had only just re-
sumed work he having suffered from
a severe attack of malarial fever :—
About half -past 8 yesterday morn-
ing Mr. John Hyslop, marble cutter,
was found lying insensible on the
floor of the workshop by Mr Samuel
Newman, who thought lie heard a
strange noise and went to see what
caused it. Dr. Wilson, whose
house is immediately opposite the
marble works, was at once summon-
ed, and Mr. Hyslop was taken to
his residence on Francis street.
Soon after he was got home he had
another attack, and, although he be-
came partly conscious again and
there were some alight hopes of his
recovery, he soon took a turn for
the worse and died at half•past 7 in
the evening. The doctors were of
the opinion that death was caused
by etfueion of blood on the bails.
Deceased was 27 years old, and
leaves a wife and an infant son just
able to walk. He was a steady and
amiable young man, and made many
friends during his residence of
about nine months in this village.
He has relatives, at Goderich, and

DEAa Sia.— Perhaps my friends
will wonder at my delay in penning
them a letter through the medium of
TILE NEWS -RECORD but. 'tis never too
late to do good or redeem a promise.
Hence, with the kind indulgence of
the Editor, I'll endeavor to tell
them something of the country .I've
decided to locate in. Quite a pleas-
ing contract presented itself to me,
after a weeks ride over a highway of
steel, through ice and snow, to enter
a valley clad in the einerald robes of
spring. Grass was about six inches
high on the tenth day of April when
I stepped on the platform in Salem,
Oregon. Currants and gooseberries
and rhubarb and lettuce were on the
tables in superabundance, and stock
were already fat on the succulent
grasses of the valley. I found culti-
vated fields, large orchards already
loaded down with infant fruit. I
found people here from nearly every
part of the known world. This valley
has been but very little advertised
and only until the last year has it
been opened up to the outside world
by rail -roads, now we have a through
line running the entire length of the
valley. The Willamette Valley is
50 x 150 miles is beautifully rolling
and well watered, as well as very
fertile. I think, and it is conceded
by all who have seers it, that this
valley Is one of the finest stretches
of agricultural land any where.
Staple productions are wheat, oats,
barley, all the grasses, grains, vege-
tables and• fruits. Climate is mild in
winter and cool in summer. I've
never so far spent a more delightful
summer. Land can be obtained
trom $5.00 up to $300 per acro. Still
there 19 guile a good deal of govern-
ment land obtainable.
