LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
; ee
| An ©ld Friend Heard From. Dear Eprror,—We still live. Blizzard, tornado, and all the other dreadful things | that are said to happen in Manitoba, have ;not yet snapped the little thread. It is true that, to seme extent, our railways are blocked; but it is with wheat rather than snow! Passing the railway station the other day, I observed that the three large warehouses were full of wheat, with buys piled on the platforms and iw the station yard—enough, if placed in position, to for- tify a small town. That is the blockade we have. But about the storms; we have had but little of them here, though the cold has been greater than for the last three years, yet not so severe but that I could saw wood at the door or do any other work out of the house that needed to be done ; and though some of my appointments are twelve miles away, I have only missed one in two years. What country pastor in P. E. Island, with equal territory, can say the same? But to the south of us in the United States there has been a fearful loss of life, people perishing in some instances within a few yards of their own doors. An mstance is given of a man found dead on the prairie whose track showed that he had passed within seven feet of a house, and of course had not seen it. I account for the bewildering effect of a blizzard in this way : The cold air of the north forcing its way through a warmer current produces that whirling motion seen when the smoke of a chimney is ascending through cold air (the mercury does not register low during the prevalence of a blizzard); this whirling motion drives the sharp particles of snow 80 fiercely in the eyes that they have to be
kept shut, and whichever way the face is turned, it meets the fierce gale, and all ideas of direction are confused and goon lost. The
traveller more frequently perishes from ex- haustion than trom the intensity of the cold. One man, acting upon this belief, dug into a drift, and gathering his coat closely about him lay down and was soon drifted over. Here he waited till thestorm had yone by, taking no harm, and was able to go his way all right.
Several persons that came here from On- tario last fall, instead of being discouraged with the country because of the climate, are pleased to tind that it is not nearly so bad as often reported, and in many ways preforable to winters east.
Jmmigration has already begun to set in this direction for the year, both fromthe Old Country and Ontario, and. this season is likely to see a rush for these fertile plains. You know yourself, Mr. Editor, from your visit out here last fall, that this is the land for the farmer. Land, cheap, easily cultivated, and abundant crops will induce many to look in this direction for their families,
Mrs. C. returned from your shores last fal) much benefited by her trip, and having avery pleasing recollection of the many acts of kindness that gladdned her visit. Neither of us are likely very soon to forget P. E. Island. We wrap ourselves at night in blankets that were made by friencs there living, and the mitteas and socks that cover my extremeties were knitted by fingers that have offen grasped mine in friendship’ down on that gem of the sea, where | spent nine years.
With kind regards to yourself and many old friends, 1 am,
Yours truly,
W. Wesrey CoLipirrs. Neepawa, Manitoba, Feb. 15. 1888.

The Spiritualistic Controversy.
Sir,—I read our ** Harry’s” communica- tion in last evening's Examiner. I am well aware that he was commissioned by the club to write the same, yet I am not aware that any other person was delegated to assist him; but judging from the master- ful style of the contribution, I might almost be led to believe that our Professor, at least, had jent a helping hand, knowing him to be an expert correspondent.
‘* Harry ” is our latest acquisition to the club, and is held in high estimation by the lady members thereof, and now having made his mark in the literary world by bearding the Rev. S. G. Lawson and Mr. Doull in their dens, the ladies will apprec- iate him all the more; so much so, in fact, that some poor people with whom F am ac- quainted will be disconsolate.
Not being well versed in Spiritualism, I, for one, will not talk of that of which I know nothing. i write you merely for the sake of stimulating ‘* Harry,” the better to enable him to successfully cope with his learned antagonists,
I will not for some time be able to con- verse with bin on the subject, as our next meeting is far in the dim future; and I dare not venture in his place of business lest the shock would be too great for my nervous system.
Hoping that ** Harry ” will shew his true colors ir less than a ‘* half dozen ” letters,
