To the Editor of the ebnlolt '?1"'t w
M. LDrron,--•Please allow me' Space
in your paper to make a few statements
iu regard to the'wiuter here. The first
lrlizzarrLot the season paid this section a
visit on the 2Sth of January last, and last-
•=-----ed-for--three days, with the thermometer
at 40° below zero. - It is hard to many of
your readers to hear of ono of our neigh-
bors being frozen to death. Mrs. Walters,
not long a resident of the north-west,
whose husband went to town on the 28th,
but could not return that night on ac-
count of the storm, did not like to stay
alone, and started out for a neighbor's half
a mile away, but apparently she got snow -
blinded, and had not travelled 40 rods
before she was,ivani;Cering round and round
in a large circle, and no doubt thus died,
for on bis arrival home Mr.Walters found
her frozen to death. It was a hard storm
long to be remembered. While Mr. Ed-
ward Murphy was watering his cattle one
of them started off with the storm, and
when found by a neighbor her horns were
frozen off, but she is doing well so far.
This is rather a flue winter for the fisher-
men on Devil's lake, several men have
caught as much as 2,000 lbs, a week, Ile,th
a minnow.. and spear through a holo.in the
ice."°•They are rather a fine fish, averag-
ing from 15 to 25jbs, each. Mr. Charles
Pratt, an old resident of Clinton and pio-
neer of that neighborhood, and a well-
known man to many of your readers
around Ontario, especially to workmen on
the Grand Trunk, on which he was em-
ployed some 20 years' ago, is one of the
oldest settlers of Ransy county, 71 years
of age, and its hale and hearty; as ever.
Ile intends paying Clinton a visit next
fall, if his health hold:;•out. The snow in
the surrounding country is about one foot
deep, and it only needs a south-east wind
for another blizzard. Wheat is selling at
from 60c. to 62c.f, oats, 40c. to 50e.; flour
per hundred, $2 to $2 50 ; potatoes per
bushel,. $1.; apples per .barrel,. $1 ; dressed
hogs, 3 and 4c. per ib; beef 1 to 6; wood,
$2 to $3 50; egg, 35 per doz.; butter, 25_
to '40. Yours, a reader, W:11. STIRLING.
On delivering an eloquent and impressive
sermon io the East End Methodist Church
iu Ottaea, on Sunday, the Rev. Mr.Idardie
referred at considerable length to the etti-
iacle tiger by tiie Dutninion Crt>vernnient in
• obstructing any measure of proposed legis-
lation to further the cause of temperance.
Ffe,;alluded to the indifference shown by
the members of the Cabinet as the kings
and. rulers of the people, charging them
with acting in contravention to the
true spirit of Christianity, and with giving
countenance to and encouraging the gran-
. est curse to •the country,—drunkenues'.'
They had it in their power to entirely era-
dicato the trouble, but they yielded to, po-
litical interests and pressure brought to
-lieefi`ir porsthend by the ri5mse11 rs," w1iich
,, interest to theca seemed paramount to all
others. Even the legislation which had been
provided by Parliament to limit theli quer
traffic had been so mutilated and disturbed
been so mutilated and disturbed by subse-
quent measures as to render it practically -
worthless. The day was not far distant
'when the liquor -sellers would no .loeger-
hold sway in this young country and return
to Parliament men pledged to protect them
from any legislation that might injure their
business,

The eupply of butchers cattle offered on''
the markets here to -day was much smaller

ly lower, mixed lots selling at frotn 410 to
