mile distant. They had remained ut
a late hour, 80 most of the neigbboring
lights were extinguisl,ed, leaving them
no land marks, whatever, by which to
direct their course. They had not gone
half the distance when the wind blew
out their own light, leaving them in total
darkness and the storm, their only hope
now being with the faithful oxen and
good luck, us they had to face the cutting
wind and SNOW, bovine like, the oxen
soon lett the road and were fountlering
i'll the deep snow in u coulee. Being un-
able to extricate the sleigh, they desert
ed it and started, they supposed, in the
direction of their home. After wander
ingabout on the prairie forso'ne time they
came upon piece Of blowing, which
they followed. This soon brought them
to house which, proved to be Mr.. Will
liam Dayison's. They remained under
the hospitality of Mr.. DIS. until light
dawned and revealed their own house
lcss than halfa mile distant, when they
resumed their journey. Although they
suffered from numerous frost bites, they
sustained no serious injury.

In your paper, dated March 18th, I find
my name brought H. question relative to
false reports as to the price
paid for wheat at Killarney. Manitoba.
l was told by one of the settlers in the
Immediate vicinity of Killarney in the
presence of two others, tia, the highest
price paid for frozen wheat there was rs
cents. and there was 10 wheat that was
not frozen for miles around there. One
man living near the rising town had, at
the time of my visit, been offered only 20
cents. for his wheat. Will the Killarney
correspondent please inform me of any
persons who have taken wheat from
here across the lines this year and got
more for it, than the buyers here give?
1 acknowledge that last year the prices
were better in Manitoba than in Dakota.
Y. S. WALDO.
