Goob IDEA.—There is doueicterable talk it, this neighbothood about the aerial it is proposed to:cut from the river at this point to the lake, and then change the course of the stream, which now flows for ten mils along the shore before eittptying into the waters of Lake Huron. By cutting the canal a good deal of waste land would be re- claimed, and made to contribute to the , taxes of Stephen,Bosanquet and McGil- 1 livray.We auderstand that the commits of these townshipa have been consider- ing the advisability of malting the canal under the provisions of the Proviucial Drainage Act. It 'would be a good thing for the townships. The river would hot then overflow He batiks and render so much land useless that would otherwise be very valuable.

This is the most attractive spot in the neighborhood, especially when the peaches are ripe, as some of them %vete on Friday last. Mr. Dalziel has twenty Beres et fruit of various kinds, and everything he grows therein attains perfection early in the season. We were first shown his plum trees, which have only been set out two years. The growth this year is most astonishiug, being about throe feet, as may be seen by the new wood on the brauches. One can scarcely believe it possible that plums would produce such a crop as we saw on these trees. The yield is prodigious. Many of :the limbs are beet almost to the grouud haar the weight of the fruit. From the trutik te the new wood on each limb the fruit is so thickly cluster. ed that one can scarcely touch the wood withhout nioviug-a plum. The grape vines were next visited, and the yield from them was as ttstouishing aa lithe plume. The grapes were as thick as they oould possibly be on the vines. This was also their seoond year. We had not the pleasure ol tastiug any of the grapes or plume, as they are not. yet ripe, but if their flavor correspond', - to their appearance, Mr. Dalziel will s have the finest crop we have ever ellen. Next we come to—ab, they make one's • mouth whter to think of them—the peaches of which Mr. Datzeil informs us he has 1,000 trees planted. They form oue of the prettiest sights we ever ease, and it is worth going many miles to behold it. What we Saw firet was not quite ripe, but they were red. and beautiful. The trees loeked like so tnauy pictu:es. We have very, very seldom seen peaches- which equal Mr. Dalziel's, They were as large as lemons and of extra flavor. Mr. Dalziel has had them very early. He picked suine un the loth of July—thiek of that for Graud Beud—perfectly ripe, and since that time has picked and sold from about 200 trees, for which he got $8 per ,bueliel. In this orchard almost every kind of frnit is grown that eau be grown in Canada, and it ail tune out well. Tire growth is most extra- ordinary, and Mr. Dalziel may rest eatisfied alma in is few years he will have one Of the finest orcharde iu the Province. it tots hitherto been the opiniou that the land tying along the tice of letting jobe.—Carried.
