But I must tell you where the town whose name stands at the head of this notice is, and something about it., so will leave your other correspondent to grow older, etc. Chicoutimi is situated on the Saguenay river, some 75 miles above the St.Lawrence, and is the eastern terminus of the Richelieu and -Ontario Navigation Company.

The river of the same name enters the Saguenay from the south west, and at its mouth are built the saw mills of Price Bros., of Quebec city, .These mills give employment to about tWo hun- dred men both summer and winter. In the winter many of them go to the wooda to secure logs for the Summer's cutting. The town has a population of about 3,000, most- ly French. The people are mostly Roman Catholics, there being only about twenty Protestant families, who sustain, with out- side help, emission and 'school. The town is progressive, having electric light, tele- phone communication and water works. Two weekly journals, the " Le Progre's Du Saguenay,' and "Le Protecteur Du 'ag- uenay," the latter in its first year and the former in its tenth, are published in; the town. Le Progre's is Conservative, while Le Protecteur is Liberal. At the last elec- tion, M. Savard, Liberal, was choaen, by a large majority to represent this district in the Dominion House. The people seemed pleased with the results of the last sesSion, as some $20,000 was [granted this section to build and repair wharves, etc. Bishop La Brecque, one of the signers of the cele- brated Bishops' mandement, lives in this town. At the present time he is visiting in Rome and His Holiness, the Pope, but his flock is well guarded in his absence by many faithful priests. In the town -there are.two large places of worship, a primary school, a seminary and a convent. The land in the neighborhood is rich, and the farmers seem to be well pleased and prosperous. The harvests ripen about three weeks later than in Western Ontario and this year there was much ram, which hindered the ingathering to a large extent. Vegetables do well,but fruits,such as apples, plums and cherries, are scarce. Apples sell here at from $1.80 to $2.50 a barrel. Other articles, bread, meat, butter, milk, grocer- ies, etc., sell at about the same rates as in Seatorth. Wages also are much the same. • , oning.

The net income of the farm was within a few cents of $1,600, and the net cost as near as can be figured was $1,050, which included 5 per cent. in- terest on eleven thousand dollars invested, also taxes and every other expenditure.
