bet we understand that St George's was
prettily &tweeted with flowers, and that
the early and noonday services show
the largest number of communicants that
the parish has ever recorded. The

w ere crowned with success. Miss Ball's

o•s•ful entertainment. W. understand
*goodly number of ti8keta have bees
disposed of .lresdy, and we hope to see
the hall packed, as the object ..f the

ed, and bis baso incapacitated from
working, °wise to the injuries reesivirl,

direction. Let then be a good tuns -

A Rva&w*T CSmw.Or Cinemax
CAPTURED.-Monday morning about 11
o'clock while Frank Murray, a prisoner
at the jail, was engaged in doing sunt•
work outside the prison walls under the
direction cf Jailer Dickson, he suddenly
made • break for liberty, .,od ran along
the bank and down to the river, which
he erased by fording and swimming.
Alex Dickson, the jailer's son, a young
lew student, was appnsed of the depart-
ure of the prisoner, and at encs started
in p.rrsuit. From the embankment he
caught sight of the prisoner crossing the
river and at once followed ham. Murray
by this time had strugvlsd-lo the oppo-
site bank of the stream and young D.ok
son immediately plutged in and swam
the neer, and soon came up with his
man, who at once surrendered. Mur •
ray was completely used up by his ef•
forts to escape and offered no resistance
who', his captor seized him. He was
at once brought back to his old quarters.
Murray is under sentence for a year and
• half in the central prison, and was'
awaiting transportation to that institu-
tion.
The award of Trade.
A well attended meeting of the Board
of Trade was held last Friday evening,
the Vied -President, Mr. Joseph Kidd,
in the chair.
A number of matters connected with
the town's interests were discussed, the
first of which was the proposed assistance
to the two organ factory schemes now
before the Town Council The general,
if not the unasim..ns, opinion was that
the most judicious coarse for the town
was to bonus but one factory, e. the
amount proposed to the second scheme
could be more advantageously exploded
in assisting as industry of a different
character ; and e resolution was paned,
moved by C. Crabb, seconded by J. M.
Shepherd, recommending the Town
Council to submit a by-law is favor of
the joint stock company only.
The nett subject was the establish-
ment of market days, and otherwise im-
proving the peanut marketarrangemeots
of the town. The following motion,
offered by D. McGillicuddy and R. Rad-
cliffe, was adopted :
That this Board gastroc the secretary
to correspond with the various towns
along lbs line to find if on -operation ears
be had in regard to holding r galar
monthly cattle fairs. Also that the
Town Council he asked to get the dviee
of the town solicitor inthe
ff
statute oetieg a market pies, b ani to
din• W pongee of the Council with
reference to regulating town markets.
The advisability of celebrating Domin-
ion Day ails year by a formal epeeist( of
our waterworks eyeless, combined with
other attractioae, was then taken up, and
on motion of Messes. Radek,* and James
Mitchell, it was decided to ask the
Mayor to call a public amateur for the
purpose of deciding o. sours plan of cele-
brating the day.
The Board the. adjourned.
The anneal report of tbe Board for the
year 1888 ►.s bees printed and distri-
buted to W members, to outside Boards,
and to • motion of the press. Copies

To the Editor of Tea 81uNa1-
Dt.tlt Srt,-Although this trip has
been written up many three belore,there
NMI be some of your many readers who
would be tolerated by a few additional
sketches of the jourosy. The tide of
immigration flowing what this •priog is
something enormous. People who read
the reports in the papers can form bet
a faint idea of the exodus. The young
mos of Ontario ram to be acting on the
of Horan Greedy, "Go West,
young man• and g -ow up with the
country." Many of them thought they
were going to the Garden of Eden, but
have fouud out since that far away
fields are green, and that this is any-
thing but a promised land.
We left Toronto about 11 30, and
woks up next morning an the wilds id
Muskoka, and • rocky, mountainous
country it U ; In fact, all the land
from Grsvnhure to within 50 toilet of
Winnipeg is very poorly adapted to
farming ; but who knows what untold
million of mineral wealth may be lying
beneath the rocky surface. The statutory
along the north of Lake Sapsrior is
grand. The mountains of solid nock,
unclothed and brown, show their bold
outlines against the grey sky. On the
other side are little lakes Madded with
little islets, and hedged in os all aids,
with all kinds of shrubs and trees. This
must present a picture of almost Alpine
✓ eindeer when the balmy zephyrs of
spring have caused thew trees to bud
and leaf. The track in some plane
along here is rough, and reminds one
forcibly of the old corduroy mads of
Aehbeld. Again, you look out sit one
side 11 the coach sod the rocks rise per-
pendicularly for about 200 feet straight
.p, presenting a surface rough and jagg-
ed in some places and in others as
smooth as marble ; while on the other
side an awful chasm, hundreds of fest
deep, awaits you, sheuld the train jump
the track. The winding of the curve
is so sharp in some places that you would
fancy one end of the ear would
run into the other. Further on we had
the ssneatioa of pawnor through a tun-
nel, which caused certain of the young
ladies to scream, whether from fright
or delight i have not been able to as-
certain. At Whitemonth at•tioo we
saw' "How the Indian mother in the
forest reeks her child." A mature,
ugly, wrinkled old hag came oat with a
papoose strapped secnnly to a board sed
carried it op and down for the amuse-
ment of the passengers. Nese her eat
old Pieper', her chief, I presume. 0.
g azed admiringly on her, but offered her
no assistance in caring for the child.
The prairie proper is supposed to start
about 50 mil from Winnipeg. "We
behold them for the first," but oar heart
does not swell to any •farming •zteet es
we take in the smirches vastness. 1e-
e tead,it is a feeling of gosaaare that per-
vades Dir system at this some.&
Being giddy, Manned an•i so..what
tired of travelling, and not 6odimg the
prairie .hat we anticipated, we were
n ot prepared to go into e0ataoi.s over
