These two works alone have proved suflicient to win for Mr. Harris the hearty esteem of his fellow-exhibitors, who one and all appear more than pleased to welcome into their ranks a gentleman of such unquestioned ability.” * * * The Marquis of Lorne is about to send a young Canadian sculptor, Mr. F.

CANADIAN, Orrawa, May 21.

The river has risen six inches during the last 24 hours. Several parties at the Gati- neau Point are leaving their homes, their houses being flooded. To-day, His Excel- lency and H. R. H. the Princess, accom- panied by Hon. Mrs. Morton, and Captain Harberd, A. D. C., paid visits to the Nor- mal School, the Collegiate Institute and the Ottawa Ladies’ College, at all of which institutions flags were flying in honor of the occasio nh.

On Saturday last a number of boys were playing ball when one of them, a twelve year old son of Mr. Thomas Pettipiece, was struck en the head just back of the ear by the ball. The lad put his hand to his head and exclaimed: ‘* That was a pretty hard

blow.” He then reeled and fell to the ground insensible. The blow has since caused his death.

Our Manitoba Letter.

AN IMPROVED APPEARANCE—THE MOSQUITOES ae EARLY SEASONS—FLAT LANDS-—GREAT DRAWBACKS.

Since writing my last, the Prairie Prov- ince has been gradually assuming a more pleasing aspect. The scattered shrubs and poplar clumps are beginning to put ona verdant covering. ‘The grass—wherever the fire has destroyed the old—-is looking green, and reminds one that the promise that ‘‘seed time and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter shall net cease,” shall be fulfilled even in this northern clime. Spring, then, with all its charms of warbling feathered songsters, bright sunny sky and mild warm breezes, and last, though not least in importance in Manitoba, the ever to-be-dreaded mosquitoes—in myriads swarming around one’s person, in doors and out of doors, sleeping and waking, sitting or walking, it makes no difference, their incessant assaults must be endured—is upon us, with both its charms and discomforts. On.the whole, the spring sets in much earlier here than in P. E. Island, and win- ter proportionately so, also. Many of the farmers who are fortunate enough to be situated -in a dry locality had. finished their seeding the first week in May.

Others are waiting, with calm resignation,.

for the drying up of their land—a precess which is rather tedious, on account of the flatness of the country. This is a great drawback to this country, and it is evident that, until a proper system of drainage is adopted, farming, to say the least of it; will be a precarious business. There are farmers here who have been striving, for the last four years, to raise a crop, and have each year signally failed—on account of the grasshoppers the first two years, and the wetness of the land the last two. But all have not been so unfortunate, and some have had some good crops.

The ‘‘ Town of Rosseau ” is the next sta- tion to Emerson, going north, and from its location it will, no doubt, eclipse the former place before many years. It has excellent water power, and a large scope of country to support it on all sides. As yet it is merely in an embryotic state; the plan of it having only been drawn out last fall.

The immigration to this country this spring has been on an immense scale, and principally from the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The unprecedented financial depression in those Provinces, and the failure of crops during the last three years has compelled many of the farmers to sell out and make for this country. I have no doubt but the most of them will improve their condition by the change, though others of them won’t. The greatest diffi- culty they shall have to contend with is the want of roads, and a market for their wheat. The great difticulty of making a road is the want of stone or gravel, without which it is impossible to make a road in this country—the soil being so soft and marshy in many places. Timber for bridg- ing purposes is very limited in supply, be- ing had only on the margin ef the rivers. Railreads, therefore, must, to a certain ex- tent, take the place of ordinary wagon roads; and the very liberal offers of the Do- minion Government to assist in building colonization roads is going to meet this want.

Yours truly, Morr Anon.
