| Lake Mistassini.
New YORK, November 21st.-Quebec spe-
cials say Lake Mistassini is undoubtedly
| larger than Lake Superior, but its dimen-
sions are not even known to the Hudson
l.,. Ind. Al
certainly known about it is that it is the
expansion of Ruperts river, Just as our
| great western lakes are the expansions of
| the st. Lawrence. The Hudson Bay Com
| pany have had an agency there upwards of
100 years. but kept it secret that lake of
such dimensions existed. The trade is car
ried on at the post of the Hudson Bay Com |
pany by giving the Indians provisions and
outfits in exchange for skins and furs. The |
Indians are friendly, and scarcely know
J what liquor is. Many have accepted Chris
tan teachings.

ease spreads over a considerable section, |
| but is worse in WISE Lee, buchanan and |
Dickinson counties. Rains have fallen |

| cause OF the trouble has been replenished |
and the disease is reported to be abating |
