From Saskatchewan, Western Canada.

In a letter written from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, one of the districts of Western Canada, by Henry Laughlin to Dr. C. T. Field, of Chase, Michigan, and which Sppeared in the Reed City (Michigan) Clarion, appeared the following: “If any one should ask you bow I like It up here, tell them I am perfectly well satisfied, for me it fa just the place. I fcave as good a piece of land as ever laid out doors. Wouldn’t exchange It for the whole of Lake County, or at least the township of Chase. 7 “Of course I have not been here very long, but as much of tne country as I have seen, It cannot be beat anywhere. We bad as good crops here last fall as I -ever saw, and everything gets ripe In good shape. We had as good ripe potatoes as I ever ate In my life. There is no better place for stock on the continent than here. Horses and cattle will do as good running out all winter here as they do where they are fed all winter there. Have built me a residence and now all I want is a wife to keep house for me. I have some breaking already done on my place, but next summer I Intend to hgve more done, and then I will be ready for business. “We have had a very fine winter so far. It has not been much below aero, if any, excepting about a week In the middle of November. It has been quite cold the past day or two. We. ace in log shanties, aud they are juat muddled up on tho outside, and nnthlpg has frosen on the Inside yet. There Is no wind otT-aln. Just nice steady weather all the time.” Apply to any agent of the Canadian Government. The strongest fortress In ths world Is Gibraltar.
