Thefollowing interesting letter, from

we take from the Stratford Beacon :
According to proneise I again venture
to iot down a few lines to letyour readers
know how the Canadians in this part of
Uncle Sam's dominions are getting along.
I thought also, it might be interesting to:
them to know What kind. of winter we
have had in Missouri, i and. when we
conainenced ant spring work.
• Ploughing lwas caatied on until about
the -18th of December, when . the frost
put an end to the proceedm' g. • The cold
from the 20th until Christreas day was
very severe ; in fact, it was the cold week
of the season. • The winter,as a whole
was a cold one for this latitude, that (un-
impeachable personage the oldest in-
habitant declaring it to be the coldest
winter for fourteen years past We had
considerable snow, but it was never more
than eight inches de'ep on the level.
Therewas sleighing only fora few days
at a time, aninot good at that: Alto-
gether, it was very unifke the preceding
winter, vrhich was very mild. So far, I,

about the needed reform The liquoi
traffic is enormous, and the consequen-
ces most deplorable. The capital engag-

drinks in Great Britain is said. to be
117,000,000/.. The wb.ole capital engaged
in the three great staple manufactures of
Cotton, Wool andiron, is but 133,000,000/.
The persons engaged. in the manufacture
and. distribution of liquors, count by mil-
lions. In the London district alone there
are ten thousand houses engaged in this
trade. and the Magistrates haire no doubt
that it is answerable for four-fifths of the
