Our Ottawa Letter. 01 ttwa, Dec, 30th. -The Federal I'arliarnent bas been called to meet on the let uf February, and there is no reasonable doubt that this will be the Iap,t session before a general election. Both political parties may therefore he relied upon to strain every effort in the legislative arena, to [Hake a favor - aide impression on the electorate. That the policy of the Government will be fairly and frankly discuesed upon its merits is almost too much to be hoped for ; the course pursued by Opposi- tionists on the public platform and in the press during the last four or five months, gives no indication of any change in this respect, and there is, therefore, every promise of a bitter, and it is to be feared, somewhat un- edifyingcession. We have been much inclinlately, to pride ourselves on the progress we are making as a people in the development tf our national at- tributes, and upon the rapidity with which we are modelling our institu- tions upon British lines, but we are a long way yet from the desired goal. In no respect have we more to learn and greater improvement to slake than in the working of our system of party government. The way in which party lines are absolutely obliterated in the presence of national danger, has never been ■o well exemplified in the history of Great Britain as it has this fall, and it would indeed be a tremend- ous step forward if our Canadian statesmen, of all shades of politics, could be induced to resolutely follow the example set them by the states- men of the Old Land.

The friends of Mr and Mrs Joseph Buehfletd, formerly of McKillop, but now of Nanaimo,British Columbia, will regret to learn of the death of their twelve -year-old son, Harry, which took place recently at that place, ae the result of an attack of croup. The residence of A. Hale, on market street, Seaforth, was a centre of inter- est for a great many, on Tuesday last.

I will notd a few of the attrael1o}11e I have seen. The first town 1 visited was Melvin. It le a busy, bustling place for its size; there a large elevator stealth, where hay and grains are marketed boa great extent. It's hay, hay, hay, between. thirty and forty loads of piesssd hay pass to the elevator nearly every day; the price paid for bay when I was there was from 87 to 418a ton. Last but not least is the bean trade, hun- dred's of bushels of beans are grown, the, price ranging from $1„50 to 81.60 a bushel. The heans are cleaned at the elevator by the girls, each one has a machine something like a sewing machine, only it has a hopper on top, they paddle with their feet and the beans keep rolling out. The more pounds of dirt they ger out, the better they are paid, each girl averaging 50c. a day. We should judge beans to be a payinv crop, but fie for hay they can fleece Huron, but for wheat they are not in it. Next 1 mode a visit to relatives in and around Laurel, which is eleven miles from Melvin. Laurel has a beautiful location, its stores are few, but promises to he a place of business; they have two beautiful churches, a Meth rdist and a Baptist. I had the pleasirre of visiting otner towns such as Marlette,Peck and Simi - 1.w Centre. The lPet mentioned is the county town of Senilac county. No branch of railroad has star t ed, but they are talking of one in the near future, just what it needs to make it boom, but a little drawback in Senilac county is the muddy roads, but tbey are gravelling tht'nLRradually, Gravel is rather hard to find. The reads hap- pened to be splendid while I sojourned there, The next county I had the pleasure of seeing was Lapeer county, the county next to Sanilac. The town I visited is known by the name of Col- umbiaville, which is situated on the Flint river, i4 a very picturesque place; its surroundings are beautiful. The railroad runs through the middle of the town, whioft makes it more dif- ficult for the passers•hy. The frtrming district is something like Gederich township: it is a rolling clay land, in some parts sandy land is eeen occa- sienally. The country has been set- tled some fifty years -nearly as long as Huron county. I can't see that there is so much difference between the two countries; I am speaking of Lapeer county now, Sanilac county bas been settled abntit 18 yeare,sn is not as far ad vanced as Lapeer or Huron counties. Those miserable freight trains have no regard for Sundays,there being no less than ten or twelve trains pass through Columbiayille every Sunday. While in church the roaring and howling would annoy any Huronite. Bank Karns are plentiful in Lapeer county. One afternoon I took a stroll out in the country to see a farmer's barn. I did not see a barn tc equal it anywhere in my travels, its size rs 90x100 feet, it has a double hip roof; ''Those hip roof barns are quite common there; it gives more head room and gives a building an excellent appearance, Columbia - villa is a very wealthy town, having a mammoth wtollen mill, which em- ploys 150, besides several other indue- triees nearly all owned by one roan, a Mr Peters, who recently died. It is said that at the time of his death he was worth about ten millions. But I must not forget the beautiful church of a peculiar design, of which my uncle, Rev. W. H. Cole, is pastor. It will seat. about 800 persons. The pulpit and choir stand is in the corner .and the semi•rircle, giving (be church a pleasing appearance. Its parlors are helow,land the building is heated by a furnace I had tbaestleasure of eating my Uhrielrnas,l,rer in the slate of Mich igan. and d'iirin'g my month's sojourn f had a most pleasant visit.
