Hnlman's many friends are g'ad to see hiiu able to take snaie outdoor exercise. His improvement i* not very marked, but we hope to see him entirely r>:8t(ired to good health. A. little boy has arrired at the home ot Mr. aiW Mrs. S. Bad'^erow. Mr. Goo. Haney was up from Toronti and gave his brother a lift with the seeding. Mr. H.

Miss May Jamieson \vh« the guest of her cousin. Miss Kva Jamicson, fur a few- days recently. Mrs. Duckett is suffering from a severe attack of cold. A couple of of our young bachelors have an advertisement put up on their gate post, " Housekeeper wanted." Sure- ly some of our gii'ls will take pity on theai. Mr. Harry Foescer hs.s moved his old shop on to his own lot and is going to make several improvements thereto. He has pulled down the old building that had been used for both church nud school many years ago. Durham. When coming home from Dundalk on the 24th, Mr. Howar-d McDonald, and a party of friends, met with a niisfortue about the Rob Roy. In sonte way the bolt cante out of the doubletree, and, one of the horses starting to kick, they both became frightoned, and pulling the driver out over the dashboaixl, .separated them- selves from the rig and started for home leaving the occupants to finish their journey on foot. While no one was seriously injured, they all receivo<l a severe shaking up, and a few bruises. The rig was considerably damaged. A nuinlxjr from here went to Dundalk on the 24th, and report mther a tamo day. A lacrosse match between Hanover +k. and Dundalk resulted in a tie, '.i-X Swinton Park and ALixwell played foot- ball, the score being 2 to in favor of Maxwell. Durhani and Dundalk gave an exhibition game of luseball, which created very little enthusi;uim on :iccount of the uneven score of 18 to 4, in favor of Durliam. Mis.s Janet McRr^nald, of Bentinck, died very suddenly ou Saturdiiy evening l;iHt. She was out for the iift«mo->n at the home of Mr. Wra.

Miller voted in f;ivor of a Conservative measure, and now the Montreal Herald Siiys "Miller voted Tory." When Mr. Luciis announced in the Chitirio Legislature that he would vote for a reduction of the tliree-tiftlis clause to a majority vote, the Toronto Globe came out with an article next morning headed "Bolted," and .siiid that Mr. Lucas hud gone against his piirty.

Diu-gavel was iulmitted to 82000 Ixiil ou FricL-iy last, on giving ?1000 on his owu behiilf and f500 each by liLs brother and anothei^T^urety. The evidence was so overwhelmingly a- giiinst the statements of the gill that no other verdict could have been i-eached. Dargavel was the recipient of congratula- tions by a host of friend.s on his discharge. About thirty witnes.sos wei-e in attendance to prove his innocence. There is a possibility of an action for false arrest being taken against the father of the girl. At a mettiiig of the Owen Sound Park Co. on Wedaesday afternoon it waa decid- ed to tear down Owen Sound's big sumaiei hotel, the King's Royal, and dispose of the furnishings and e>iuipinehf.

As one enters the great West beyond it seems that Winnipeg is to the West what Quebec is to th«° far Ea.stâ€" the battle ground of conijuest.

I may do better some time in the future when my bu»y time (Hisses by. However, I must tell you how beau'iful the prairie looks noiv. There are myriads of flowers (crocuses, etc.) ; the prairie is certainly a fiower garden ; and as I walk over it my mind goes back to the days when I taught the lesson on " The Prairie," found in your Fourth Reader, and aa I look at the flowers, gaze on the niiehty expan.se to 7 p.

A daylight trip on a local gave an opportuniy to sea the cjuntry and towns passe 1 through. There is a tine !.ti-etcli of prairie land between Winnipeg and Regina, many fine towns and villaijes, while the experimeuUl farm and Urge elevators at ludian Head were well worth a survey. We stayed in Regina about eiyht days and found it a real interesting prairie city. Possibly one rea.son why it was so interesting wa.s becau.se we met so many people whom we had known in the East.

It was Dr. Slioop that tirst t,ho centre of the city for a park. It is now being planted wi'h trees and shrubs. There are many sub»tantial buildings erected and many now bein<{ built. The public school buildiii(4s are especially tine and one, the Victoria street is c.pial to any in Tonjoto, and much superior to the majority of school buildings I have seen. A new collegiate Institute is in course of erection costing $400,0<W ; while tho Provincial Parliament buildings alio beinn erected are to cost one and a half million dollars. Then the cliurches important feature of the Victoria Day method is all wroni/. Dr. Shoop's Restorative goes directly to these failing inside nerves.

C.i. purpose building a railway station which is very badly need- ed. Just as we were about to leave for Nelson, B. C, I was offered a posrion in Zealandia and accepted. So our pUns now changed and instead of following the main line of thu C. P. R. we turned northward and took the C. N. R. to Sask»toi>n. We liked Saskatoon very much. It is quite picturesque. There «t^ many fine residences overlooking tho broad Saskatchewan and one hotel, "The Flanagan House," is as well equipped as the best Eastern hotels. The citizens are jubilant over the G. T. P. and the University of Saskatchewan, and some think that Winnipeg only will have a superior place among the cities of the west. But we mu.st get to Zealandia, sixty miles south wes". of Saskatoon. In November last all was prairie save a few iod shacks. But the railroad came, the C. N. R. Co. purchased a town site and threw the lots on the market as soon as they were surveyed. They were rapidly 1 bought up and today many are sellinif for double Iha original purchase price, j There are over eighty buildings.
