HOW 1T Is CONDUCTED IN MANITOBA.

A correspondent writing from Winnepeg,
Manitoba, thus describes the sleigh there:
The Hudson's Bay dog-sledge consists of
a board, usually not more than halt an inch
thick, twenty to twenty.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 frame-works, so
covered with parchment or dressed skins
as to resemble the front of shoe. A suffi'
cient space is left behind for the travellers
baggage, or upon which the driver may
occasionally stand when tired of running.
Generally speaking such passenger sledges
are attended by two drivers, one going be-
fore the dogs to guide them, the other fol-
lowing 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 deerskin thongs;
turned up tightly in front, like a Norwe-
gian snowshoe, it runs over hard snow or
ice with great ease; its length is about nine
feet, its breadth sixteen inches. Along its
outer edges runs leather lashing, through
the loops of which a long leather line is
passed to hold in place whatever may be
placed upon it. From the front, close to
the turned-up part, the traces for draught
are attached. Dogs in the North are har-
messed in a number of ways. The Esqui-
maux run their dogs abreast. On the
coast of Hudson's Bay they are harnessed
by many separate lines into kind of band
or pack, while in the Manitoba and the
Saskatchewan they are driven tandem.
The number constituting train is generally
four, though three and even two are used.
The train of dogs are attached to the sledge
by means of two long traces, between which
the animals stand in line, the head of one
dog being about foot behind the tail of
the dog in front of him. Each one is
fastened to the traces by a round collar of
mooseskin, which slips over the head and
ears and rests upon the swell of the neck
This collar buckles on each side to the
traces, which are kept in position b. back
band of leather, buckled under the dogs
ribs or stomach. The back band is gener-
ally decorated with little bells, as is also
the collar, and many ribbons, porcupine
quilts, fox tails, and beads are lavished
upon. Great care is taken in turning out a
train of dogs in good style. Beads, bells
and embroidery are freely used to bedizen
the poor brutes. A most comical effect is
produced by this fnery placed on the per-
son of dog new to the harness, when he is
invariably the picture Of fear, resembling a
chief mourner clad in the garb of "Panta-
loon )" and the ludicrous effect is intensi-
fed when the victim happens to be young
in years, and still retains the peculiar ex-
pressions of puppyhood. 1t is safe to assert
that in the North the whole canine race
haul sledge during the winter months.
There is no exception of age, sex or condi-
ton; from the miserable mongrel to the
thoroughbred Esquimaux, all are destined
to howl under the drivers lash, to tug
wildly at the mooseskin collar, to haul
until they can haul no more, and then to
die.

President Hayes excites the admiration
Of the Washington letter writers by the
ease and fidelity with which he performs
the many irksome duties of his office. One
OF them writes thus: " He rarely fails to
devote eight or ten hours a day to the
routine work of the White House. Always
in thesbest of health, he is always an early
riser, and he probably devotes greater
number of hours in the week to his official
duties than were usually given to them by
any of his recent predecessors He often
rises as early as o'clock in the morning,
and in this way he manages to have an
hour to himself in the morning. This time
be devotes to the reading and writing of
private letters, or, when the occasion arises,
to the preparation of communications
which he may have to make to Congress.
He breakfasts between 8 and Q, and then
has a little time to spend with his family.
At 9 his secretaries and clerks arrive, and
Office work begins" He receives from 50
to 100 letters a day, and abstract of each
one OF which he reads and preserves.

There is considerable excitement in
Cleveland, Ohio, Fort Wayne, Ind, and
other places in the West, over the robbery

Van Buskirk of the Fort Wayne
College and others have been arrested. It
Is certainly time that some method should
De adopted, and adhered to, by which
medical colleges may be supplied with sub.
jects of dissection without outraging the
graves of the dead. ,

controversy IN i ....ueu, recently, when
he said he knew mo butcher or baker who
would sell dollars worth of meat or bread
for 92 cents" The people to whom the

dollar eventually. But it is to be hoped
they will learn the lesson without paying
too much for it.
