Go to Poole's Drug store for Toys

10 to Poole's Drug store for Toys.
Dry oats have a new use. They
are recommended as excellent for ab.
sorbing the moisture from wet boots or
shoes. The wet boots should be filed
with oats; they swell while absorbing
the dampness, and thus keep the form
OF the boot perfect, and the leather is
dried without becoming hard.
A young apprentice to the shoe-mak-
ing business asked his master what an
swer he should give to the often-repeat.
ed question, "Does your master war;
rant his shoes? " "Answer, Thomas -
said the master, " that I warrant them
to prove good; and if they don't I'll
make them good for nothing"
A man who had purchased pair Of
new shoes, finding the road to be a
rather rough one, decided on putting
the shoes under his arm, and walking
home bare-footed. After a while he
stubbed his great toe, taking the nail
off clean as whistle. "How lucky "
he exclaimed. "What a tremendous
kick that would have been for the
shoes J"

-" Music hath charms to sooth the saw
age breast" and E. P. Lowater is bound
to do a missionary work by selling his mu-
sical instruments in way to bring them
within the reach of all. He offers $4,000
worth of organs, pianos, &c., in exchange
for wheat at $1.00 per tushel, affording
everybody chance to get good price for
wheat and to make their wife and daughters
happy.
MIR. E. P. Lowater has 200 styles of
wall paper, and over sixty new styles just
received. We took look at some Of his
new patterns and they are certainly very
beautiful and when placed on the walls of
dwellings, will add much to the attractive
ness of the rooms as we'll as to their
warmth and comfort. Mr.. Lowater is SELL

Some little time since we had occasion to
refer to Manitoba and to Emerson Colony in
connection with the temporary return
.1tDt refrom Of Mr.. Wiltse an old resident of
'e3 County. Since then Mr.. Thomas Car
ney, one of the Colony Managers, and also
an old resident of this section, has arrived
in the city, and from him we have obtained
many more interesting particulars Of this
great Northwest; and in the first place we
confess to have been prejudiced against
this region of country, and that these pref
udices have been removed. We can remem-
Der the time, when in the section where we
then resided, Minnesota was looked upon
as land Of eternal frosts and SHOWS and
almost uninhabitable, and having found this
to have been very serious mistake we
were better prepared to believe that Mani
toba, which sjust over the line from Min
nesota. is to be included in this best wheat
growing country in the world.
We were also prepared by an article re-
Gently appearing in the St. Paul Pioneer,
written by Hon. Henry M. Rice, in which
in speaking Of this country he asserts,
"Although far north, its climate being
tempered by the winds from the Pacific, is
as mild as that Of Chicago" to believe Mr..
Carney, when he said that farmers were
plowing there on Nov. 18th, and that the
climate is superior to the county 800 miles
south of it. The activity of the Canadian
government in the building Of wagon roads,
and railroads, and in opening navigation
on all the lakes and rivers shows that they
are fully alive to the wealth of this region
of country.
Emerson, the chief town of the Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota Colony, has every ad-
vantage Of situation and Of being sur
rounded by rich forming country to make
Of it an important city. Some Of the ad-
vantages of the country are, an abundance
Of wood and water, the great wheat pro-
ducing quality Of the soil, as we'll as the
abundance Of grass land, free homesteads
for three years residence, and adjoining
government lands to be purchased at 81 90
per acre.
Among the advantages of Emerson are
enumerated the location there of the Do
minion Land Office, for Southern Manitoba.
The Dominion Custom House, Post Office,
Telegraph Office, Express Office, Stage Of
fee, The Duferin" Boundary Commis-
sion, Headquarters and Mounted Police Bar
racks.
At Emerson every Steamboat; every feet
Of Flat Boats; every Railway car E; every
drove of cattle or horses; every convey
ance of any kind, on the way to Fort Gar
~ and the Canadian North West, must stop
to pass the Custom House.
At Emerson, by the Fall of 1875, there
will be two railways-the St. Vincent
branch Of the St. Paul and Pacific Railway
and the Winnipeg branch of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, now under construction.
Mr.. Carney will stop in this city during
the Winter, and will be found at "Hotel de
Batlo" or at J. s. Hoard's office, ready
and willing to impart any information asked
with regard to this new land
