Ramsay, with his brother Jnmee, are in the lumber bueineee and doing a thriving trade, turning over 1,000,000 11. of lumber in a year. He hae been in the West now 10 years and for some time worked as carpenter and eon- traoto0. He was telling me the difficulty he experienced et first its getting dun• tracts. He served hie apprenticesbip with Smith's Brussels and when he gob a oontraot he did it the same as be wee accustomed to do it when with them. He bad no trouble after this and ted more work than he could do. liIis know- ledge of oarpeotering is a great help to him in bie present businoes as) hie cus- tomers leave it to him to enpply what is required. Hie eieter, Miee Maggie, is staying with them. Their relatives reside on the 17th non. of Grey. Will. Tail, formerly with R. Leatherdale, has a tailor shop bare. At Boiesevain.Andrew Burgess still does a thriving badness in butchering and keeps a supply of meats eaperior to anything I saw outside of the cities. While bere I aleo mot Mise Maggie Cantelon who is visiting neer by, and also her brother Edward who resides about 5 miles out. The latter purposes attending the WinnipegBneineee College. Hie brother, David, bas a , situation as book keeper and stenographer at Tre- herne. The West offers great .indnoe- mente to the young folks to remain, which many, if not MI, purpose doing. I had the pleasure also of meeting W. T. BIus• grove, who acme 15 years ago taught school in Grey, near Jameebowo. Be is stillengaged in teaching while 1110 spare hours are occupied in studying Medicine. At Mauitou Herbert Cunningham wee on bis way back from Dakota but was just going to his uncle's, nine miles away. - 1 regret I did not this time see the Turn - bull's. I understand that T. Turnbull hen Bold out his lumber interests and is dealing exteneively in land. His brother, Will., is studying Medicine in Winnipeg. Adam and Mre. Turnbull, their parents, live on con. 15, Grey. Our young friend, Harry Downing, is employed in a bard• ware here. He was on duty at Darling. ford the day I was there. At Hartoey are the Misers MaArter, with their brother who ie engaged stone masoning. Their parents are farming adjoining the town. The country is going ahead very fast and will continue so long as they have much harvests as they have had the Iaet two years. The farmers are over. coming the danger of frosts to a oertain extent by early sowing, but the ohnuooe of failure are greater than in Ontario, so it its not wise to be too hopeful. While visiting at the home of Mre. John Ter- rance (sister-in-law to Mre. David Roes, sr.) about 17 miles East of Hartney, end who at one time lived on the Ball farm near Braesels, she told me how her two Bone labored for six long years on their farms near Carnduff with only 500 bus. of wheat, et 25o and 300 per bus., as returns for their labors. They gave it ma as hopeless, left their farms and moved near by. These same farms are now oocopied and as) olimate conditions for two years have been favorable, plenty of rain, the crops have been good bat who can tell how soots it may be the same as before. Brandon, like every oily, town and village, ie growing. I always endeavor to remain over Stuffily here. The Presbyterians there worship in their handsome and commodious church. They were using the individual communion rape for the first time the day I was there; little trays, with a handle, holding about forty little glasses or Dupe, are passed along and the receivers, after partaking of the wine, put the glasses in little brackets which are on the book of each seat. They are left there nntil the close of the service. It is to be hoped that the chambers in Brussels at least will in this not be far behind the children of the West. I think, Mr. Editor, I had better say nothing of those I met while in Winnipeg, I will not even attempt to say how many there are in this oity from Brunie and vioinity, certainly quite 'a number. Huron county is well represent- ed in the West, so much eo that it creates no surprise now when you say you are from Huron County. I em reminded of the story told by the late Dr, Robertson, Superintendent of Missions in the North• west. Somebody undertook to tell one of the old Indian Chide in hie dietriet how proud he should be to belong to mesh a great Nation, ruled over by snob a Queen. and be went on to bell him what a great country Canada was and so on. The old Chief interrupted him, however, by nay. ing "Canada 1 why Canada is not much of a 'Country, Huron oounty, that is the great country." 0, A. De,1DMAN. M. Williams, son of a stone quarry owner at Stony Mountain, was killed by the premature explosion of a charge in the quarry.
