For quantity of snow and duration of stormy weather the presert winter is uniiretedented, there being almost nu entire blockade in traffic by r )1 and otherwise. The morning •^rain from Toronto get as far as Orauge- ville on Thursday and was unable to proceed further. A snow plow left that place early in the moruing but became snow-bound within three miles of Shelburne, where it remained fast until Monday. The moniiug train on Tbu'-sday left Owen Sound an i was unable to pn ceed but a short dis- tance south oi Markdale. The pas- sengers and many of the (jitizens turned out and shovelled, deter mined to make way for the iron horse to proceed, but all in vain as the wind proved more than a match for them, it filling up the canal ah fast as ihey could dig it. Dr. Sproule, M. P., had 1^ arr espandanca* NoTiCB.â€" We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold oarselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents A LETTER FBOM MANITOBA. started on thLi ill fated train for Ot*.a wa, and proved himself one of the best shovellers of the volunteer gang, but of course had to return and bide his time until Tuesday. After hours of toil endeavoring to l-reak the 'univer- sal bank" a dispatch came over the wires with onlers to retreat until storm would subside, which was not until Saturday moruing, when all the help that cnuld be secured was sent on the line and continued shovelling until Monday night when the track was again c'ear, uud tlie Toronto mails of four days arrived at a late hour. Trains are now running regular, but the depth of snow along the line is aomethiug terrible, in manv places being liigher than the tops of the coaches. OKANGE CUUNi'Y LODGE OF SOUTH GEEY.

The reports from the district lodges showed the order in South G'ey to be in a very healthy and progressive stale. Two new lodges wt^re organized in ihis county during the past year. Prior to adjournment, Allan Park was fixed upon as the place for hold ing the semi annual meeting and Durliana as the next place tor holding tike annual meeting of this County Lodge.

Clark, Dear Sir. â€" We are all in the best of health and spiritii, the family bt-iuK agreeablr snr prised aA the weather we have ht^d this win- ter. VTe have had finer winter weather so tax thnn yon ever saw in Ontario, mnek coldei of course, but no snow to speak of, and a pan, dry kind of fiost. The day befoie Christma.s I was .^73 miles west of Winnipeg, and neitber overcoatg nor mitts were necessary, and no snow on the ground or fcigns of any. I am writing this in the largest city in the world for its age, and a finer day 1 never saw in my Ufe, mild and pleai:ant. A.S for liking the ooantry, I like it well and would not t;o back to Ontario on any account, as I have great confidence in the future of the country. I Lave been out in worse storms along the T. G. B. rail.vay than we have had here as yet, but repoit says that March is stotniy. I intend to get a farm next Summer in what is called the Bow River Region, at tlie foot of the Rocky Mountains. Cattle live out doors all the j-car round and no snow ever falls. People comes out here as far .s Win- nipeg or Brandon, and not finding things as pleasant as they expected, they go back to Ontario, and ^ive others to understand that they know all about the North-West, while they know little about it. Either a capital- ist or a working man will succeed out here as no man gets less than 82 per day, and living is ve-ry little higher than in the East. jSection men get $2 per day and pay $4.50 per week for board we pay 2.5c. for a meal, and I paid 2Qc. on the IL N, W. railway. I got $1.75 for ICO mUes th^re and I get ?3.15 here. I make S3 every day in the month, and have a good time as well, and I am at home half my time. We have a free house in Broadyiew, and fuel is not one cent dearer than in Toronto or Hamilton. Our house is frame, with a lining of thick brown paper inside and black tar paper outside, and is warmer than thousands of houses in the cities of Ontariov The therraometo* regis- ters a de.gree of c«rld that would freeze yon as dead as a nail in Ontario, but the air is so dry here we do no; feel it the same. Twenty degrees below zero out here is no worse than 5 below zero 100 miles east of here. Some people think this is a cold, drtary and barren region, but please believe when I say that they make a. great big mis- take, as it is a bright, cheerful country and every one is happy and comfortable. Through Ontario one often meets with people in poor circumstances- and hvin? in poverty the year round. Out here it is dif- ferent, as eTesyone seems to prosper, and all aie confident of doing well. Of course there ar* a class of people who are too shift- k ss- to get along in any country. I have worn the very sjme clothes this winter that I did last and have been just as comfortable. We are as comfortable here as we were in Hamilton, and have the consciousness of knowing that we are in a good country, and fuel confident «f set uring a eompetency 'n a few years, which we would perhaps never get in Ontario. 1 beg to remain your devoted and affec- tionate son-in-law, John B.

Should at any time the vicissitudes of uu- faroj able weather compel us to locate here for such a length of time, your kindness will ever be remembered. Had it not been for the despatches so kind- ly f 01 warded by you over the wires, our stay would have been rendered simply unbearable.

Having been solicited by a large number of the Electors of this Eiding to offer myself as a candidate for your sunges, for the representation of this Eidiug, in the House of Assembly ot Ontario, at tue approaching elec- tion, I Iwwe consented to become a candidate lor the following reasons; 1. There is a growing feeling in this constituency that it should be le- presfcuted by a resident fanner, and not, as at present, by a Toronto lawyer whose interests (owing to his profes- sion and location) cannot be identical with yours. 2. I am a farmer, and have been a resident of this County for thirty-six years. Having represented the Town- r.hip of Euphrasia in the County Council for ten years I flutter mybelf that I am well acquainted with your wants and requirements and will it elected, use my utmost endeavors' to further youar interests. I may state that I have been iden- tified with tne Liberal Conservative party, although always advocating in- dependent principlesâ€" refusing on all occasions to accept tbe errors in Leg- islation of my own party, as wise and useful, or to denounce the best acts of njy opponents to be injurious an-1 coirut,t as at present practised by party politicians.
