A correspondent OF the N. \ evening
Post writing from Winnepeg, Manitoba
gives some interesting incidents of life in
that Borean country:
LocoMoTIoN ON sNowsHoEs.
There comes midway into our picture
the figure of man moving over the sur
face Of the snow with q swinging move
ment, like that of free skater. Evil
dently he has something attached to his
feet-something that clings to the toes,
yet drops from the heels, and trails upon
the snow as he raises a foot. All, he is a
snowshoe runner
TO walk we'll on deep snow, to follow
the dogs to run down the moose, there
is nothing like snowshoes. These are
composed of light wooden frame, about
four feet in length, tapering from width
of about fifteen inches at the center to
points at either end, the toes being
turned up 80 as to prevent tripping. -
Over this frame a netting Of deer skin
sinews or threads is stretched for the foot
of the runner to rest upon. The object
of this appliance is by thin net work to
distribute the weight of the wearer over
30 large surface ofsnow as will prevent
him from sinking. The credit of the in
vention is due to the Indians, and, like
that Of the canoe and other Indian in
struments, it is 80 perfectly suited to the
object in view as not to be susceptible of
improvement by the whites, On snow.
shoes an Indian or half-breed will travel
thirty, forty and sometimes even fifty
miles in twenty.four hours. 1t is the
common, and indeed the only available
mode of foot-travel away from the pub
lie highways in winter.

THE HUDSON BAY DoG-sLEDGE.

But here comes the winter vehicle of the
North. The Hudson's Bay dog.sledge
consists of board, usually not more
than half an inch thick, twenty to TWEEN.
ty.four inches wide, ten feet long, and
turned up at the front end two and half
feet, on which is built box of very light
wooden framework, so covered with
parchment or dressed skins as to resem'
Bile the front of a shoe. A sufficient
space is left behind for the travellers
baggage, or upon which the driver may
occasionally stand when tired of running.
Generally speaking, such passenger sled
ges are attended by two drivers-one GO
ing before the dogs to guide them, the
other following the sledge to steady it
and keep it from upsetting. The freight
dog.sledge is simply two thin oak or
birch wood boards lashed together with
deer skin thongs turned up slightly in
front, like Norwegian snow shoe, it
runs over hard snow or ice with great
ease it's length is about nine feet, its
breadth sixteen inches. Along its outer
edges runs leather lashing, through the
loops of which long leather line is
passed to hold in place whatever may be
put up upon it. From the front close to
the turnedup part, the traces for draught
are attached.

THE NATIVE HoRsEMAN.

In fine contrast to this method of loco
motion appears the native horseman just
passing. Mounted ON little wiry aeh-
colored pony, he rides with that free
swinging motion peculiar to the praCtiCed
equestrian. And he is, perhaps, one Of
the finest horsemen in the world. His
long dark blue Cabote, and jaunty fur cap
with pendent tassel, impart something OF
a military air to his isappearance. He sits
suuarely upon small pad of deerskin,
and rides with a long stirrup. Every
motion of the horse guided more by the
pressure of the knee than the bridle'
rein, is anticipated and met intuitively
by the rider. There is no halfway gait
with this impulsive horseman; he goes
either at a walk or a mad gallop, and
seldom exchanges this method of loco
motion save for the canoe, the snowshoe
or the dog.sledge. Common pedestrian
ism is to him lost art. The fact that he
could walk to his next neighbours door
never seemed to occur to him.
His little, lithe sinewy ponies are
faithful beyond description, yet a fine
looking one is seldom seen. They stand
about the dooryards with discouraged,
eart-broken air, and will take consider
able pounding without much exhibition
oflife. Yet they endure privations and
hardships better than their more deli
cately natured brethren. True, if you
ride them about the settlements, you are
at first nearly pitched over every gate
and fence you come to. Whenyou pony
catches sight of one of these he makes
for it, and suddenly stands stock still, as
hint to you to dismount and tie him
up-an illustration of the gossiping hab'
its of his late owner. But out on the
plains the daily distances compassed by
these ponies without breaking down al
together under it seems scarcely cred
ible; still less does it appear possible up
on the food which they have to eat
Neither hay nor oats is given them
nothing but the prairie grasses often dry
as tinder, and eaten only during the
frosty hours of the night. From forty to
fifty miles day, stopping only for one
hour at midday, and going on again un-

SHEPHERD DOGS.

Darwin tells MS, in his Researches into
Natural History" that in Banda Oriental,
South America, 1t is q common thing to see
fiocks Of sheep guarded by one or two dogs,
of o distance of some miles from any house
or man. The method of canine education
there practised, consists in separating the
puppy, while very young, from its mother,
and in accustoming 1t to its future compan.
ions A eve is held three or four times o
day for the little thing to suck, and q nest
Of wool is made for it in the sheep pen.
At no time Is It allowed to associate with
other dogs or with the children Of the fami.
ly. From this education it has no wish to
leave the flock, and just a. another dog will
defend its nnster-man, SO will this the
sheep. On the approach of q stranger, the
dog Immediately advances barking, and the
sheep cluster in his rear as II around the
oldest ram These dogs can be readily
taught to bring h,me the flock at q certain
hour in the evening. Their most trouble.
some fanlt when young is their desire to
play with the sheep, and in doing so they
sometimes gallop their charges unmerciful-
". They come to the house daily for some
meat, and as soon as they get it, skulk away
as il ashamed Of themselves Away from
the flock they seem timid with regard to
other dogs, but when with their charge,
neither domesticated nor wild dogs dare
venture to attack them.-Rurdl Neac York.

proceed. 1st. This reporter is the only
one who has said anything about the
clock being endowed with "supernatural
propensitics." end. lie states that "the
clock is an old one, the motive power OF
which is supplied by a handspring in
stead of weights" This is not so. 1t is
small "Seth Thomas" clock and cost
$500 nine gears ago and has run about
six years of the time. 3rd. He states
that ''the spring is constantly pulling on
the wheels, and after Juggling for few
days at the running part, the machinery
starts off and runs for few minutes, then
gets stuck and stops" Let me ask
if the coil constantly tugging on the rum
ming part only causes it to start when
certain persons are present Does this
cause it to run for four or five minutes,
then stop about the same length of time
and in this way keeps running Till it COM
pletes the circuit Of the dial to minute,
then stop ? after which it is found I'm
possible to stare it. Why does it not
strike at the striking point Instead of just
as it happens to be ? 4th. "This," he
says, ''is the stuff mysteries are made Of"
If Hartland has got person capable OF
solving all the mysteries of the world,
we should suppose he would be in better
demand. 9TH. He further says, she will
bet his best cow that no more striking
will be heard from that clock after it has
fairly run down. Well, Mr. Editor, know
ing the person as we do, that's "trhere the
laugh comes in"-he's just as safe as he
could ask to be--he doesn't own a cow,
and there's no prospect he ever will, and
furthermore, we supposed it was against
the morals of men of his profession to in-
dulge in betting. We don't know who
his friend "Hixon' is but presume it is
the person he s,eapped horses with. Ifso
"Hixon" can say of the trade, she got II
all there was to u We are not prepared,
to account for the occurrence, but we do
know we have told the truth and we are
going to defend it. Now last but not
least, the clock on the first occasion was
snttsly run down, which spo!ls the
