After breakfast the steamboat was drawn alongside the beach, as there was ho wharf and all the baggage was landed with great toil. We got our wagon put together and oui’ horses taken ashore, • one on the gangway and the other overboard, but received no injury. It took us six hours to take our luggage to the other steamer, a mile and a half off. The boat started at 4 o’clock and went through a number of locks be fore dark. We stopped in a narrow place till daylight and reached King ston at eleven o’clock and landed our luggage A steamer came from Hamilton two hours after we landed and took all on board, but. the horses and wa gon that were to be taken on at the time of starting. We started at eight o’clock1 in a boat overcrowded with men and horses, but the weather was remarkably fine, if otherwise, I would not like to have been on her. We landed at Hamilton at four- o’clock in the afternoon after call ing at all the places on the Canadian side. After getting all our luggage on the wharf, the steamboat 'drew off to another wharf to- land the horses and wagon. At sundown, Duncan, Uncle Don ald and some other members of the family, with a man going to Usborne with a span of horses, started oft to Mitchell. The others stayed with me and the baggage to go with the cars. I had some work taking everything to the station. It took the teamsters and I till eight o’clock at night to get everything in order. The .cars started at twelve o’clock at night, Thursday, and we liad very uncom fortable passage. We reached Wood- stock at seven o’clock'. Friday morn ing, got our luggage off, hired two teams, and left Woodstock at 1 o’ clock a.m. We reached Stratford at ten o’clock that night and stopped- till morning. At seven o’clock, when we were starting our own hor ses, the stranger’s Worses -and wagon with Duncan and the rest came in. They stopped to rest but we drove on to Mitchell, where we stopped till they came up. We got every light thing in our wagon and everything stowed by and then started off to Hiblbert, a distance of twelve miles; Came in here last night at dark, weary and fatigued to the last de gree. On the road we found every man remarkably kind, but at the Rideau ferry it is the worst place, I believe under the sun. You know the wharf age at the ferry yourself, six shill ings and six pence; two to the first stoppage; Is. and 6d. to a man that took, two b'ores to the other steamer £4 to Kingston; £7 10s. to Hamilton When on the wharf in Hamilton the steward came to me and wanted to see the luggage. By good luck the clerk came round and told him my bill was the heaviest on the beat by one-half and to let me alone. That saved me six or sev.en dollars. Tak ing from the railway station, 10s.; on the cars to Woodstock, £3 15s.; from Woodstock to Mitchell £8 15s., which included all our luggage but our draws. At the. railway station the man deducted w-ght hundred weight off our luggage, the weight was 4,800 pounds—■ too much by one-half. If I had not had every man on my side the expense and trouble would have been overbear ing. I do not know how mutch Duncan spent foi’ the teamsters in Perth, in Kingston for horses and from Hamilton to Mitchell, but you might say £6 with a great many little things that will amount to a good sum. The road from Woodstock to Mit chell is better than the plant road to Perth, I cannot yet say anything about the country, but one thing I will gay, the people down there put too little value on what they have. We lidve not seen our own lot yet, but Neil’s lot is looking well. The school trustees ate to have a meet ing this week and if they will be wanting you, will get word immed iately. I din in no way taken in, There is every .advantage but the land is clear1 of stones. We have only,seen David Mitchell and Hugh McNeil Of other acquaintances. We ate going to move our baggage to-morrow and if the weather keeps tip we Will bring the draws front Woodstock. Tell I Member of The Canadian TTufclM Newspaper Association. NO. 4.
