Judged by standards of American areas, the comparison was quite as interesting. Thus, the pro- vince of Ontario, the fairest land of hU the North America continent, is largei- than the six New England Stutes, with New York, jNew Jersey, PenuKvlvaiiia and Maryland, by twenty-live t.hoiisaud pqujire miles. Ontario, extending over t* n legreee of latitmle, and t\v»iiiy doaiif,-, of longitude, tho siiipJe p.oviucM «:oveiS an area lar'er by tn tiionsand «-«jnare miles tiiiMj Obii,. Iii.liHUfi. l.liuois and MiebiKau craubined larger than Iowa, Minnesota and Witcousm by eleven thousand sijnaro -railes. Tlio basin of tbo Hudson's Bay coiiiprif.cs two million i-qu.in- niilee, in wbicn »iru the fertile plai.;s of tbo Saskfiochewan Valley, numsuring five hundred thous- and square ruib-s, and which, ascord- ing to Loid Selkirk, are capable alout) of supporting thirty millions of peo-, pie. That he was right lu this con- tention is proved by the nidicatioua of the enormous productive forces of this region since devcioiied and that a European art a, similarly sitnated east of the tenlh degree of longitude, com- prehends very nearly the whole of Eugiand and Iielaud. the nortbfiast corner of France, the wholeof Beleium and Holland, and the greater part of the valley of the Rhine. The vast expaus« of Canada may be judged by the extent of her rivers and bays. The St. John, iu New. Bnms- wick, the largest river on the Atlantic coast boutb jf the St. Lawrnnce, is five hundred miles in length, and is navigable for two hundred and thirty miUs. The St. Lawrence, one of the noblestof she 'reat rivers iu the wocld» has a length of h* ven h.mdred ami fifty miles, entirely naviirable. Tho Ottawa, wiiich is a meiw fllueutoftho bt. Lawrence, joiniuK it six hundred milen frniij its mniitl is in its^^lf firo hnndred ana Mu nnles long. Tjm eh»in ut ^rfcat lakes is faiaili.-.r to «,i wh.. iooK at ih« p HP, bl.Vi,otwtHtiie nut lb. in hU idn Obl uiikuowu land, are ih- lakes oht-bundowHm, .tnd B«by l,J;e iind river, n magnificent body of v-Mti-r, three kundre.! uules ORud and two bauc^red milen long. The Lftka of the Wooda, too^ig alnwM aahsifwu oataidtf of CaiuuUi. p% ja vast stretch oi water of almost mar- vellous beauty, especially its we -tern- most portion, of 80 miles, consisting ot land-locked channels â€" a lacustrine paradise. Then coraee the Winnipeg River, of which Lord DuiBFerin said "Whose existence in the heart and centre of the continent is itself one of nature's mo«t deli^tful miracles, so beautiful nnd varied are its roclty banks, its tufted islands so broad. so di^ep, so fervid is the volume of its waters, tho extent of their lake-like expansion, and the tremendous power of its rapids." Here empties the great Red River of the North, starting from the northern portion of Minnesota, and tho equally great Aisinibome, one five hiiiidred miles and the other four. hundred and eighty miles in length. Far beyond these is the Lake Winnipeg, a fresh water sea 800 miles long, from the nortwest angle of which starts the Saskatchewan. The en- trance to this noble river has been called "tiie Gateway of the North- west." for there is a navigable stream 1,500 miles in length, flowing nearly due west and east, between alluyian banks of the richest soil. Beaching the liocky Mountains by Ibis stream, beyond this range are the Atha- basca and the Afackenzie rivers, the uavagation of the latter alone ex- ceeds 2,500 miles, while the FrazM River and the Thompson Biver to Vancouver are streams of great mag- nitude. This enumeration of principal streams \Nill give some faint idea of the vast areas of land through which they flow. But no better idea of magnitude can be formed of the extent of Canada than by the con- templation of the Hudson's Bay. This bay would seem like a projection of Providence for the good of mankind, by which is introduced into the heart of the continent an ocean in itself, mid- way between tho great Atbintio and Pacific oceans. Fancy a bay eo long as to extend from New York to Chicago, so wide as to extend from Washington to the lakes, projected like a hude tongue of sea into the land. What would remain of the fairest part of the United States Yet coBsideration of the marvellous re- sources which this northerly half of tb continent contavuM. Incidentally, la describing the cbiitAte of tihe nortb^ western jportiou of Canada,, allusion has been made to the agricnltoraK possibilities of that legiouv There are comparatively few portions of Canada, however,, but possess great possibilities in this direction. The- Province of Ontario,, which will be re- called as covering so. vast an. area, \i^ peculiarly rich in this respect. The- excellent statistician of the Ontario- Goyernment, Mr. Archibald Blue, a^ Toronio, says of bis native province:: ' 'But Ontario has sometbicg more to boast of than broad expanse. It has fertile soi!. an inviRorating climate, vast forests of merchantable timber, treasures of mineral wealth, and waterpower of hnatiet^s capacity. It has extensi'ce areas which grow a better sample and a larger yield of tbe staple cereals than any other portion ot the continent and it has more extsnsiye areas net yet hroaglit nuder cultivatian which may be converted into grazing fields of unswrpasse I ridinesB, suitable- for th«: production of the best qualities of batter and cheese." In a report on the trade between the United States and the British Possessions in North America^ made by J. R. Lamed, of the United States- Treasury Department, in 1871. itwa* observed tliat "Ontario possesses a fertility with which. no part of New England ce» at all compare,, and that particular sections of it arnuud wbich the circle of the Great Lakes is swept forces itself upon the notice of the stuient of the American map a» one of the most favored spots of the whoia Continent, where population ought to breed with almoit B^gian fecundity." \To he continued, UBuaiaX Jkixnof We have made arraogements with Dr. B.
