Ontario, and the river Detroit bounded on the
south by Lake Erie, and on the north by the

IN three or four hours This place described
in former letter, and shall therefore pass on
to Brantiord, twenty miles distant, situated
on Grand river, and which is connected with
Buffalo by a steamer that goes and returns four
times week.
Brantfcrd appeared to be a very enterprising
and busy place, containing some three or four
thousand inhabitants. The Great Western
railroad from Hamilton TO Windsor, on the De-
troit river, runs through Paris--a little village
seven miles distant--with which il is proposed
to connect branch extending 10 BERTHE. oppo-

formed and adequate stock subscribed

children of t. Indians are educated and are
