What may touch him more keenly than anything else is the fact that a whole batâ€" talion of his own soldiers have had to be shot for cutrages exactly similar to those which his armies were put in motion to avenge and provide against in the future. When it is considered that for many years he has been the head of the most extensive, centralized government under the sun, it is no wonder that there should be grave fears for his health under his present anxieties.

But a good Samaritan, who happened to be passing that way, found the luckless "bird," and taking compassion on him, took him to Lis own barnâ€"yard, and set him at liberty, where he was soon crowing as loud as any "gamester" in the Townsltip. _ Meantime, the firstâ€"named party becoming aware of his "sad" loss, left his wife to take along the load of furniture,retraced his steps, anxiously look. ing for and trying to find his lost "game,‘ but all in vain.

We then struck down through the townships of Chapman, Ryerson, and Spence, to the village of Spence which afford a very promising appearance, having one large store and large boarding house; from there we went to North Seguin taking the missionary road until we came to our friends Mrs. Dixon and family, who formerly resided one and aâ€"half miles from Dundalk,where we stayed for a part of a day, then we started for Rosseau by lumber waggon stage, passing through the rocky mountains until we came to Ashdown, from there the road was pretty level to Rosseau, which is very beautifully situated on the shore of the Lake from which the village derives its name. One place worthy of note is the Rossean House, kept by Mr. Pratt, which is a large four story frame building, and Jias connected with it a large park and splendid fishing grounds, and is a fashionâ€" able summer resort of tourists from various parts of Canada and the United States.| From Rosseau we took the steamer "Nip. | issing" for Gravenhurst, passing through : the beautiful scenery of Lakes Rosseau and Muskoka and the Severn River, arriving | at Gravenhurst at twelve o‘clock.

Next | day we wended our way to the Akmik Lake by way of Mount Nebo, which is farfamed |for its rocky heights. Then taking the fast sailor "Lily" we got to Maganetawan village in four hours a distance of twenty miles. This village was located by the Government for a town and surveyed into town lots. There are at present two stores, one hotel, a large sawâ€"mill, and a grist and oatmeal mill in course of erection, also a few private testdencé$ * The Government agents office is also situated here.

The distance from Maganetawan to the halfâ€"way house is twelve miles. We then travelled along till we came to Commanda Creek, passing through the townships of Lount, Pringle, and Gurd ; crossing the surveyed route of the Canada Pacific Railway.

While on the steamer some little commotion was caused by the vessel scraping over & rock, but happily without doing any damage. Parry Sound is pleasantly situated on a rising ground overlooking the Georgian Bay, distant from Collingwood 70 miles. The land is very rocky. ‘A large quantiâ€" ty of pine lumber is to be seen in the viciâ€" nity of the village, and several large sawâ€" mills. While at this village, we would warn parties going to Parry Sound not to stop at Carrington, as s party at the latter place is in the habit of trying to impose on travellers, by" making them believe that they are too late for the stage, and so keep themover a few days till the next stage leaves. From Parry Sound to McKellar, a distance of sixteen miles, the land is very hilly and rocky, but yet there are some very good buildings put up alongâ€"side the road. The land at McKellar is good, and a great improvement on that we had passâ€" ed along the road. There are eight lakes beâ€" tween Parry Scund and McKellar. The latter village is growing very rapidly, being in a fine section for stock raising. Having come to McKellar on the stage, which is a curiosity in its way, we proceeded on foot next morning to Dunchurch, 16 miles from McKellar, The townships we had travelled through since leaving the steamer were MceDougall, McKellar, Hagerman and ; Croft.
