Sallying out into the country a few -, ae''
to the northeast of the city, we spent ,s'
hours very pleasantly looking at son,o ",
the fine stock, calling tirft upon Mr., .Iosa'
Lodge, who is q stock man, and farmar y"
owns two farms, one within a mile Of ton w.
and the other some four or five milos s'
ther out, near the hills. In his corral, :.

Der their names. Turner was plancine
about in his pasture looking a little rough
but evidently feeling good. He is how
about five years Old. The stock tender who
showed us around. told us that Turner wa,
in good health, aud growing more powerful
and beautiful every dry. He is gaining the
confidence of his friends, and will be on
hand ut the next Territorial Fair in better
trim, stronger faith, and more friends thai
ever, to give Cariboo another trial.
After having made the rounds in the beau
tiful valley above, viewing with admiration
its comfortable homes and many thousand
acres of valuable unclaimedfarm land. andre
ceiying Il kind welcome at its farmers doors,
we formed Il passionate love for its pref
ty metropolis, fancying that the merchants
there would gladly receive the HUSBAND
MAN. Thussarlned we made the rounds in
our usual modest the farmers paper.
Cheap, would be pleased to have you read
it,
But the. tradesmen rubbed their hoary
locks, pulled their whiskerS, and twisted
their ears, grange signs we suppose then
gave us a long swing-on pull at oar hand
and then pressed out from their half signing

we met there.
