Tl!c people, of this district scarcelyap- preciate thc advantages they possos ever many others la the matter of facili- tics for acquiing a higlier education for their chuîdrea. There are few other schooîs perbaps doing as thorougl werk but there are very few indeed, if any, hiercabouts that possess the modernirn- provemnents and thorougli equipinent for teacbing the sciences, for licaltli andJ com fort of the pupils. These are very weighty considerations in connectien with the growing peniec inl youag people. Many a biglit dlolar lias1 been physicallix' mmcd by badly venti-1 lated and- equipped sdîqel budildings, often more like prisons thian hoiees for the virtueus. T-ehe moral atmosphere of a bdtcul is anutiier verv important matter.

Duriag our rec ent visit to thc Prov- ince of Quebec we readlied the conclus- ion that the ordiaary Ontario farmer could make far more money down there than the Frenchi farmers do. Thc prices of land la the couaty of Napierville where we visited is oaly about two- thirds of what the samne class scîls for la this section of Ontario. That is thc saine distance from Montreal as Durham countyv is from Toronto.. Thc laad is good but less uadulatiag than lu this district, thorefore the easiest system of farmiag obtains--growing liay, raising stock and mnaking butter and cheese. Oats is the only grain grown extensive-, ly, thougli peas, corn, buckwheat andi some sping wleat were seen. 1furnips, carrots and maagolds were scarcely noticed, but.tobacco is bccoming quite common. One great advantage that the Qiieboc Province enjoys over the ontanlo farmer is contiguity to a butter market. For the sake of comparison we quote T or- onto and Motreal prices for~ Sept. 2. Toronto Montroal. Oats 2212 to 23 29 tu 29î. Peas 41 to 43 59 to 60. Hay $7.50 to$95 $9.0 to $12 Eggs . 10 12 to 13. Butter, lb.ý rolls 15 to 16 122, to 13. do. creamery 18 to 19 1%~ to 20k. Clicese 9 to 9à 9q to 91-. Thus it will ne noticed tliat la al articles named exceptiag butter, the prices are higlier by the cost of freiglit or more. Country iiierdliants informed us that they refuse to take butter in cx- change for goods because there is so little roally good butter made ln that section. TÉhis mayt exp!iia why the quotation is se low for aIl c 'eept cream- ery butter. We saw a splendid farm closle to the village of Napierville,-120 acres- offered for $30 an acre and were told that many coutd be got for less mnoney. As we stated last year after a visit to p arts of New York, we believe thc Province of Quebcc would be immense- ly beaefitted were there to be a gencral navigation of Ontario farmers into it. MR. HOAR'S LETTER. No. 20. The locality ou whidli the clty of New Westminster now stands, was fouîîded by Colonel Maody c'uing the gold ex citemeat la 1858 Like many other British Columbia Cities it has thousaads of inliabitants. It fronts along the Fraser River, Ia the back grounid the elevation is very stcep andi the streets arc ail terraced witli maay fine buildings thereon The lumber business and sa[- mon trade is a great boom to the city. Of thc latter tiiere are from 30 to 40 Ileau- nenies withia reach of the city, emnploy- iag over elght thousaad mn, wlio are mostly Chinese and Indians. T£ie Provincial Penitentiary and Asyiuma are located liere. Thc system of water- wonks cannot be sunpassed.

There are many places of interestý and for pleasure. Stanlev Park is a great resort for Carniage driviiig and Bicycle riding. The road around the Park is seven miles long and shaded bv the statety Fir and Cedaàr trees, some of which are from 10 to 14 feet in thickness. Thiere are also a Zoo and Gardens and many other places of recreation. The next resort is calied English Bay, a bathing place witli cottages and tents of every description situated along the water front. What makes the situation so romaatic is the coverinoe of shrub tree and wild flowers, so tha~t every cot- t ee and tout has its own private abode. Thi place is reacbed by Electric Cars for 5 cents. The question miglit arise bas Vancouver ever had any boom or depression ? Yes, it lias; tens of thon- sands of dollars have been speat in buildings, stores and resideaces were built regardless of locality, and are now paying taxes and waiting until the city expands before being utilized.

At the demonstration given in lis bonor at Montreal. on Monday niglit, Sir Wilfred Laurier was flot at lis best as an orator, and lie spoke very briefly. Ho said, however, some things that are Worthi preserving. The essential parts of bis address are contained in the fol- lowing extracts: Gentlemen, whien I left Canada on the invitation of the British Govera- ment, I had la my heart the pride of my native land. 1 made a voyage that was in oyery wa 'y prosperous and hap- py ; but the happiest part of my voyage isto rotura home ai the preseïit mo1- mont. 1 loveci my country before; 1 love it a hundred times as mucli on my retura as at my departure. 1 was proud of my country when 1 left; 1 arn a liundred times more proud of lier aow.
