He gives a good report of the crops in his pm; of the country and predicts that everything will be all right. Though we never met Mr. Pettigrew before We formed a sufficient acquaint- ance to get on talking terms very easily as soon as he told us that his Wife who died a couple of years ago was a pupil of ours at one time, and had a. fairly good opinion of this hum- ble worm of the dust. Mr. Pettigrew I tells us that money in the West has been a little scarce on account of dim- culties in getting last year’s Wheat' shipped out, but the congested state 0f transportation is now being relieved and money is more plentifully circula- ted. _ He paid his ‘sub. like a man and went away happy. - THE brick veneered residence now occupied by Dr. Hutton is in the direct line of the new railway and must be removed.
