A gentleman in Canada, who hes given
close attention to emigration to America
and Canada, writes that he is astonished at
the lukewarmness shown by the govern
ments of America and Canada In relation to
Scottish emigration. He says Canada has
only lately sent On agent to Scotland, and
the United States has no such agent at all.
and, taking into consideration the fact that
Scotland is ripe fer the work Of an agent, he
says 1t seems anomalous. All kinds of SER
wants or help can be had from Scotland, II,
he says, you will show them that you want
them, ard he thinks that country Is the one
in which the best ploughmen and domestic

! TEE GRAND Trunk RAILwAY.-So many
railways Of great extent and cost have been
recently completed In the United States as
to cause I'd to lose sight of some Of the
magnificent enterprises undertaken by our
neighbors in the Canadian Dominion and
among them the Grand Trunk line, on ac-
count of Its great length and cest, claims
our first attention.
| This great work is thirtes hundred and
scventy-seven miles in length, and extends
most from one end Of Canada to the other,
and is constructed in the most substantial
u'auncI. IL ~o,anss"..o ~ Sucl2c an =
crosses the st. Lawrancc at Montreal on
the Victoria iron tubular bridge, the longest
in the world. At Quebec it connects with
the Intcrcolorial Railway, which terminates
at Halifax, Nova Scotia. The latter rail-
road is now in progress of construction,
aud, when completed, will, together with
the Grand Trunk Railway, afford an unin-
terrupted railroad communication frhm
Halifax, Nova Scotia, at the east, { Yort
Sarnia, on Lake HurCn, near Detroit, on
The west--a distance not far short Of twen-
| ty.fve hundred miles. The eastern end Of
this road will probably form part Of the
proposed Canadian Pacific Railroad. The
Grand Trunk Railroad has not, upt to the
present time, proved TO be q profitable un-
dertaking, but its prospects are gradually
| Frightening. The gross revenue for the
year 1870 was million and half sterling,
or about S7,600,000, and the revenue for
1871 will exceed that amount considerably,
so thst in short time 1t will be enabled TO
pay handsome dividends.
Guest" How comes this dead fly In my
soupr Waiter" In fact, sir, have no
positive idea how the poor thing came to its
death. Perhaps It had not taken any food
for long time, dashed upon the soup, ate
too much Of it, contracted an inflammation of
the stomach which brought on death. The
fly must have a very weak constitution, for
when served the soup 1t was dancing mer-
rily on The surface. Perhaps-and the idea
presents itself only at this moment--it en-
deavored to swallow too long piece OF veg
ctable; this remaining fast In his throat,
caused choking in the windpipe. This Is
the only reason could give for the death
of this insect"

flax had doubled 1870; but there was large

honey, Indian corn, and swine. The num-
ber OF working oxen had also decreased
very largely. The value of animals slaugl.
tered or sold for slaughter rose from Sl5,-
500, 600 in 1860 to S2S, ,225, 0OG in 1S70-nearly
double. Pasture land and orchard growth,
therefore, are receiving much greater atten-
tion than formerly, and marked change Is
visible in the character of agricultural in
dustry. The present cash value of the
farming lands Of the State Ia estimated at
81 272, ,S57 ,000-against $500 600. 900 in 1880;
! and the value OF farming implements and
machinery has risen from 9,000, 900 to
$4,000, 900. Evidently. the old easy going
days of the farmer have given place to new
er Ideas and fresher energies.
