From; N19,gara we took the boat to Toronto and arrived there en the 17th day of April, 1852. Sleighs were running In .Tororito and the old ke was still on the Istreets, We stayed there for a - tout Et, week end then went to Ham- ilton, w'here we got e four horse stage 'for Godericb. It .was in the spring and the roads were so bad that we got stuck in the mud several, times and had to pry the wheels out with rails. When we got to Stratford the first man 1 met was August Van Egniond. He had been looking for some stolen 'horses and had found them north of Stratford. After we got our tea I got a 'horse from him and rode . ahead of the stage to &Seth's hotel, about seven miles from Stratford. It was not very clerk and I vvae all alone tut Was not amid of robbers. What a, feeling of relief it was to know that I was in a civilized country' a- gain where life and property were sate. I stayed at Setractes hotel Un- til the stage came up,and got in it again. We got to Mitchell about. four (Mod( in the morning. - Where we were coming up the hill from Mit- chell we got stuck fast in the mud and 'had to waken up a farmer and get a yoke of oxen to pull us out, We arrived isteeely at Silver Creek without further mishap. It had tak- en lis fourteen 'hours to 'come from Stratford, I soon got rid _of all my fever when' I was again ;beck in this northern country. , There was a greet boom here whey). I got 'home. The Government had thrown all' the northern townships open for ,Eiale end settlement at one (loiter and a 'half an acre and as 'the Canada Company was. holding their lands at sieteen dollars, there wee a, grand rush for the ()heap Govern, - ment lands. McKillop was owned Ifre the Canada Company and 'as the bank end of the township- had Just 'oent surveyed, it was not taken up or s t- tled until all the Government lande had 'oeen .sold and then the Canada Company 'raised the price ot their lande to twenty della:re per acre.' On this account the northern part of Mc- Killop was not settled foe este years after Grey and Norris, There was a Miss Ross keeping house for my father. Shortly affer my return she got ;married to a Mr. liallidare He 'had taken up the lot in Morris, where Brussels now stands. So' I took a yoke of oxen and a cart and drove them on _their ;medal trip to their new home. We had to under inrush the road all thei way from, Winthrop. We got as far as the cedar swamp two miles and] 'a half this ,side of Bruesels, where we camped for the night. We found we could not get through the swenvp with the cart, so had to unload there and they WO to carry their effecte the 'rest of the way. Mr, 8, Halt - day, a trother. was with them.

Russell Clarke, a native of the Provinee of Victoria., Aut. errata, on his return to his native land after spending three 'Years at Oxford 'Universtty, stopped; off a few days at Wintkpeg to 'see the great metropolis - of the west, of which he had heard se =eh, While there, he was interyiew,ed by a Free Press ea- eorter, Who extracted from :hine a lot: of interesting information about land and farming in Ma native pro- vince of Vidtoria. Mr. Claelce le large aand owner, or svelter, but was careful to -explain that, an 'Aus- teal= Isquatter is a very different person from a, Canadian squatter. All large Australian eandowters are'cal- led squatters, though the terml was originally applied- to the hardy pion- eer e Who broke through the first set- tlements and. appropriated.) 'huge per- tiona of what was thiart the wilder- ness. Mr. Clarke's grandparents were both tpioneers of this dederlption. In ,Australla there is etill a good deal of What in the :old( country would: te ".gengeguen farm- ing." - Mr. Clarke, for instance, has many tenant 'farmers on Ws. estate. Froin what he !says,however, it appearsethat malty of the large Aus- tralian ;landowners are more or less 'seised with 'blue -furik of socialistic legislation, and are doing their 'best te sell their farms and, estates. One landowner named Chlrnside recent/1.y sold the largest single 'property In Victoria to the Government for $1,- 950,000 eo /leered Was he at the growing' !pewee of the socialists.

The .price of imProVed land within twenty or thirty miles of Melbourne, fetches at the .present time about $86 per acre.. During the past few. years many large properties a from 5,000 ;to 10,000 aeres have been ac- quired by the go' ernmett under special purehase legislation and have been subdivided amongst small farm- ers on easy terms. Victoria forms one of the most favored corners of the Empire. Owing to its moist and de- lightful climate ("relights are 'preset- cally unknown' end crepe ripen earl- ier ;than in any other 'Orovince. It it therefore net surprising; to learn that no Australian 'province has so much land under gran crops as Victoria. The homesteaders of Victoria are re - ,presented by a class or .farrners call- ed free seleetors. These men were 'given farms of from 40 to 820 acres on the large 'pastoral estates of the squetters at $5- per acre, payable on easy terms. Thie crass of settlement however'has given rise to a great deal of friction and also to a great - deal of fraud. Naturally the squat- ters were byeno means pleased, the best part of their estates, the "eyes' of their land, as they called them, being gradually atquired by 'the free selectors. The latter were held by the squatters to be a nuisance end it was said of them that they overran neighboring !properties with, their live stock. Don't Worry There. The Bruoefleld Spring Show. The annual Spring Show, under the auspices of the South Huron Agricul- tural Society, was held at e3ruce- field, on Friday last. The weather was delightful, in fact, It was too pleasant for the good of the show. Had it. been testi so there would have been a much larger 'turn -out of both spectators and exhibitors. The elate ;selected tiappened to come Just in the middle of seeding, when farmers were: at their ebusiest, and the fine day 'prompted Many to remain at home at work; instead of coming out to the show, However, ("mite these ad- verse cireurnstance* there was a very fair ctowd and a good show of both horses and oulls.
