Sir,—There is an impression prevailing with @ great many persons that some Land Surveyors have a privilege from the Local Government to survey which other Sur- veyors have not. Such is not the case, as all Land Surveyors who have passed an examination before Owen Curtis, Esq., the Surveyor General, have equal authority to survey.

GRAND
Colinial Exhibition in Loudon, Eng.,
1886. FIFTY-FOUR THOUSAND RESERVED
FEET FOR CANADA
FiRST ROYAL EXUIBITION CON MISSION SINCE 1882.
THE COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION
to be held in LONDON, England, commencing MAY Ist, 1886, is intended to be on a scale of great magnitude, having for object to mark an epoch in the relations of ail the parts of the Brit- ish Empire with each other.
In order to give becoming significance to the event, a Royal Commission is issued for the hold- ing of this Exhibition, for the first time since 1862; and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has been appointed President by Her Majesty.
The very large space of 54,000 square feet hag been allotted to the Dominion of Canada by coin- mand of the President, His Royal Highness.
This Exhibition is to be purely Colonial and Indian, and no competition from the United Kingdom or from foreign nations will be permit- ted, the object being to exhibit to the world at large what the Colonies can do.
The grandest opportunity ever offered to Can- ada is thus afforded to show the distinguished place she occupies, by the progress she has made in Agriculture, in Horticulture, in the Industrial and Fine Arts, in the Manufacturing Industries, inthe Newest Improvements in Manufacturing Machinery and Implement, in Public Works by Models and Designs; alsoinan adequate display of her vast resources in the Fisheries, a in Forest and Mineral wealth, and also in Shipping. All Canadians of all parties and classes are invited to come forward and vie with each other in endeavouring on this great occasion to put Canada in her true place as the premier colony of the British Empire, and to establish her proper position before the world.
Every farmer, every producer, and every manufacturer, has interest in assisting, it having been already demonstrated that extension of trade always follows such efforts.
By order,
