A scenery, wjiicli is perhaps nnanr- passed in Ontario, can be bad by a drive from Markdale to Eugenia Fa- lls via the 7th line Euphrasia to Wi- ley's mill, tbence per Kimberly. After leaving the seventh line and proceeding about half a mile, a view suddenly breaks m upon the astonished eyes of the ti-aveller, which is simply magnificent the Val'ey which is now about half a mile distant, is several liundred feet below. Through it runs the Beaver River, on both sides of â- wbich are beautifnl farms up the monntain slope dotted with fields of gram now m various stages of matur- ity from a (ieep green to the gcdden shade of the harvest fields, also the blocks of beautiful forest, and when the air is clear the Georgian Bay can be seen over Thornbury, and the town of Penetanguisheiie which is CO milen distant. This view so varied and vast, and yet apparently so close to the spectator, is one of beauty and grandeur seldom witneessed. A travel- ler who accompauied us oyer this route last week, having been through the greater part of Ontario, said this view Burpassed anything he had witnessed in the Province. The scen- ery alone the way from Kimberly, (which is situated in the valley less than a mile from the said place) to Eugenia is also handsome, while the Falls with its toweriug rocks and dis- mal glen lends enchantment to the pleasure seeker, and is a very popular resort for pic-iiic parties frc^ui far and near.

Wj^^'"" M DEATH OF ALEX. P. LOWRY. REV. FATHER WALSH'S LEC- TURE. Last Monday evening the general public of this section of country were treated to a discourse upon general matters attracting public attention at the present day. It will be remem- bered (that Father Walsh was Parish Priest of Artemesia, Gleneln;, and Proton, but removed to Europe some four years ago, and his return is hail- ed with pleasure by liis parishioners. He has been eJii'ying his friends by dclivcrmg a series of lectures, one of nhicli was delivrred at the E. C. Cliripel, on thvi 8th line of Gleueig, last Mor.day evening.

P. Lowry, city editor of the Mail, died at an early Lour yester- day morning at his residence m Ger- rard street West, after two months of acute sufi'ering, m his 32nd year. By the death of Mr. Lowry the press of Toronto looses one of its most promis- ing members, and the newspaper men of the city loose one of their most gen- ial comrades. Mr. Lowry like all successful reporters, drifted naturally into the ranks of daily newspaper life. He received his rudimentary training at the "case," a qualification which has been the back bone of the ma- jority of American and Canadian re- poiters and editors. Many of the brightest minds of the daily press com- menced at the -battom rung of the ladder, doing duty as printer's 'devil,' galley boy, compositor, proof-reader, and then into the reporters' rooms. â€" Toronto World.

There are a great many Indians to be seen along the C. P. R especially at the stations.

Wood is very scarce here but there is coal enough within 6 miles of Medi- cine Hat to supply the whole world for a 100 years, it is as plentiful as the rocks East of Winnipeg and is bursting out of the- ground in many places.
