While Manitoba and the Northwest are luxuriating in the greatest crops ever seen there, there is a fair prospect now that the crops in Ontario will be an almost total failure. We have had no rain to ppcak of this spring, and if rain does not fall this week it is thought many cf the crops will be utterly burned up and useless. This, coming on top of the destructive frost which killed nearly all our fruit, is a blow that many people will stagger un- der. Hay will have to be imported as moat farmers will have very little for their own use. Potatoes are not much affected by the drouth an yet In this connection it may be some consolation to look upon a brighter lecture and to learn that our brethren C'f tin- prairie provinces are experienc- ing a bountiful yield. The following extract from a letter written to a gentleman in town fn>i>i K:ncrsou, Man., will prove interesting reading. lie eny s : 'A kind 1'rovidencv hi* favornd u* with* remarkable aeaaoii.

This is the position of affairs at present. Our representatives will liave six months in which to consult their constituents ; six mouths of an extended least) of life, there will bo aix months of tnanoeavering, laying of mines, strategy, secret overtures, posmble biibery wholesale by the power of money, and crafty general- ship by an unscrupulous enemy It were better had the government fallen now and its own works been its undo- ing, than to prolong the tension in the face of the clear and explicit re- fusal of Manitoba to allow herself to be coerced. The goYernment could not pass this remedial legulation now and no more will it be iu a position to do so next January. It has simply surrendered to the Catholic church *nd formally taken over the fight upon its nwu shoulders, pledging itself to make the grand cof> tie gnict in Janu- ary next if Manitoba does not sooner surrender. In this it appears to be counting without its hosts, unless, as we have said, craft does not sooner work tln> miracle.
