A twenty- fourth of May drive from Hawkesbury to Point Fortune, a village thirteen miles down the river, revealed the Ottawa valley in all its spriny beauty. The rain of the two preceding days had removed the traces of the dry weather c:j ' and had given a fresh start to all plant [ " life i The villages sighted oa the way were Little Rideau and Chute-au-Blondeau on the Ontario side and Stonefield and Greece's Point in Quebec, botween'.Little Rideau aud Chute a Blundeau was seen the Cook place, where fifteen or twenty years ago one of the most dreadful murders in the h'story of the province took place.

The people of this burg were treated to a surprise Tuesday morning of last week by finding snow on the ground, which is rather an unusual occurence at this time of the year. However it has occured be- fore in this section. We are informed that 27 years ago on the 25! h of May and 33 years ago on the 29th of May there was quite a fall of snow. Election day passed off quietly here ex- cept fur a Uttle interest taken in the South Grey conti-iit. Of course some wagers weie up on the elections and ctin- sequeutly some are feeling a liitle sore.

The cribs probably averaged twenty sticks. The crib* were divided up in bauds of five, the greatest length that would go between locks. To manage the raft were seventy- five voyagers â€" most of them half- breeds, very Indian-like iu appearance, but speaking the French language. -As the majority of the raftsmen receive §45 per month, some i lea of the expense of mov- ing the raft from Mattawa toQuobec n'.ay be formed. It had to go through th§ canal as the booms leading the side in the Carillon dam were w.a3hed away during the spring freshet. The raft looked much like a small village afloat. On the different cribs were the sleepimi houses e,ich about 6 -x 5 feet and made of rough half-inch lumber. Then there were the tool aud supply house and the kitchen made of the saiu-s material hut much larger. On the timbeis beside the sleeping appartmeiits, were the trunks of the raftsineu (if they possessed such) and on the roofs were clothes u'ldet^oing the drying process. Then there were the boats, most of them the oi^Jinary pointers or river boats ; but one wa.s a beautifuly made and painted bark canoe intended for a crew of six or eight.
