.14RDIG BURGLARIES..
FOER HOMES ENTERED IN LONDON TOWN,
SHIT LAST WEEK.
From information which has reached
London ie would appear that a desper-
ate gting of burglars are operating in
Lendon township. On Thersdity
night Net, or early Friday morning,
Elliot' e Hotel, St. John:se was entered.
The burglar obtaiuedi a 'Siller which
he placed to the window °Utile proprae•

quietly opened the window, and: with
a stick .irew the pants and vest of Mr.
Elliot, which were lying on a chair to-
wards bim, and abstracted $12 in
money and a knife and bnnolt of keys
therefrom. The same night the resi
dence of Hr. Hawkins, miller, of St.
wee entered, and the burglars
helped themselves to all the eatables in
the house, Mr. Hawkins was awaken-
ed by the slamming of the door and
coughed,. but did not suspeot that there
were beerglars around. It is enposed,
howeeer, that the burglars took the

FROM TEM LITTLE SASKATCHEWAN.
A new settler in the Little Saskat-
chewan country writes thus to a friend
in, Termite
left Torooto on the,29th of April„,
1879t, with Mr. Peittie's party for the,
Nortireweet.
°Whig,. to a dislike to,settlein a Q01112 -
try tentait 7 had sone experience in it I
did twee firet tithe up latel$ but being
now welhsatisfied I have take!' a farm.
in Little Sitattatgliewitu district. I was.
told in Toronto that a man could start
farming here on a very small capital.
I find it would be unsafe to try it with
less than $690; and that he would.:
have to expend very carefully.
Oxen are better than horses for a
beginner, and.fa yokes will cost from
$100to $2001 Building.material,seed„.
grain and farming implements are all
held at good prices.
About twenty miles on thedtrail from
Winnipeg.the country assumes a very
pleasing aspect. The land is good,
thickly settled, large areas ,under cul-
tivation, and fair dwelling houses.
There are a few patches of wet land
here, which will be drained the next
spring. Portage la Prairie, sixty miles
were, from Winuipeg, is a very busy,
thriving place, where you can buy all
sorts of merchandise at a small advance
on Winnipeg prioes.
Again we go on, threugh a fine farms
ing country until we came to the thriv-
ing village of Gladstente, in which there
are some line dwelling houses, two or
three temperance hotels, one saw and
one grist mill. They expect to have a
telegraph office' here this summer.
After leaving Glad -tone we 888 18. a dis-
tance what appears to be a blue cloud,
hut it is this valley ef the Little Sas-
katchewan, called Riding Maintain by
many. A place mimed Palestine is
next passed, and the country begins to
appear most charming to the eye of a
farmer, the land gradually roiling away
to the river valley, sparsely clotted with
small clomps of trees, the aoit is wond-
allay fertile—no doubt one of the.
hest farming countries in the world.
Travelling over this glorious country
• for shoat thirty miles we same to Prel-
rie City, on the banks of the Little
Saskatchewan River. The city is not
a very pnpulons one irtst now ;there are
one or two dwelling houses, a post.
office, a store, and) a land office. The
citizens, however. have great expecta-
tions about the O. P. R. crossiug the
river at this point.
After leaving Prairie City about
twenty miles behind, going in to, south-
westerly direction, we come t� Rapid
Uity, a betty, thriving place. There.
are several stores and hotele, a saes
end grist mill, and they publish e. neat,
businees-like newspaper, reporting
news from the seat of war to the police
court.
00 Friday night. the hotel' at Birr,
kept by Mr. Ralph O'Neil, was entered
by the bar -room window. A box of
cigars and a flask of brandy were taken
frotn the bar. The upper story was
then visited and $2.50 was taken out
ofa b matter's pooket. They were very
quiet in their moverneute, as no one
heard them, although there were a
number of people sleeping in the hotel.
They then appear to lave gone a little
farther tip the road and entered the
bowie of an old gentleman named Gil -
bank, and abstracted therefrom two
bills, a $5 and $,4. This is a small
loss, however, as the bills are bogus
ones. A young man who.po.ssed along
the road about midnight on his why
after a doctor, saw a light from a bells -
eye lantern opposite Mr. O'Neil's he tel,
but on arriving there the light had
disappearnd and all was in darkness.
It is therefore assumed that the burg-
lars visited the hotel about that time.
