Fak9iers attention the attention of our More fortunate Farmers Whoso crops May have escaped Tho ravages of Tho Grasshopper is drawn to the advertisement in our weekly Issue of Tho Manitoba advisory Board of the Canadian commission to Tho Cen Tennial exhibition at Philadelphia. It is of Tho Gio Tost importance to the country at Large that every fact Lily should to afforded the Board to enable Thorn to select such samples As will be a credit to Manitoba especially of wheat when Tho Only pro Bably in our generation is afforded to us to take the prize of Tho we believe we can for Spring wheat. Minnesota has beaten the world already and we can beat Minnesota if Only by a Pound in Voight to Tho Bushel. We recommend to intending exhibitors to carefully select their Sample which should be at least a Bushel and have it perfectly clean. It will pay Tho Man Well who has the Honor of taking the first prize at Philadelphia. To would suggest to competitors if possible to exhibit both at Tho Selkirk exhibition in Winnipeg and at the provincial fit Portage la Prairie. We Trust there will also be a Good display of other cereals and Root crops vegetables Etc. We again repeat if Manitoba takes the world s prize for wheat Tho food of Mankind Tho value a result to Tho country and every one in it can scarcely be Over estimated. To Are sanguine from Tho fact that our respected Friend or j w Taylor Tho United states a gentleman who has Al ways taken a warm interest in our Wel fare sent to Stew York at Tho request t of some of Tho largest wheat buyers samples of Spring wheat from Here which were valued1 at fifteen cents per Bushel More than any other samples they had handled.

Another accusation of your correspondent reads As follows nor did the French priests of the Mission encourage education among those people until these efforts of the methodist missionary or Mcdougall and other protestant gentlemen shone out in too Strong con Trast with the tendencies of their More than fifty years it is As to.dj8hing to see so Many unjust and false assertions heaped to Gettier in so few words. Tho More than fifty years occupation previous to the arrival of or Mcdougall must be reduced to Twenty for the first Catholic Mission established in Tho Saskatchewan dates october 1843. But this inaccuracy is very slight when compared with the. Rest of the recited sentence.

Me to the editor of the abbe press. I notice the above heading in your Issue of yesterday and i beg leave to contradict some of Tho assertions con Taino in the article that follows it 1st Saskatchewan Stylos Tho Metis the Organ of the Prela As Lam the Only Catholic prolate in this province it is quite natural to suppose that your correspondent Aims at me. Us my connections with Tho Are none other than those of its Ordinary subscribers and renders. I have nothing to do either with the proprietorship or the editing of the paper. In so saying my intention is not to express any opinion Emir soon Thomer Tor on the shortcomings of the Only French news paper in this province merely and solely to say that it is not my i have but one Organ for is my feeble voice and when i think fit to use it. I sign my name to the expression of my views and opinions. 2nd. Speaking of the same Prela essays who instigated the late evidently this also was tended for to those acquainted Public affairs know that a More ground less assertion could not to produced nevertheless for Tho information of your correspondent i will condescend to re peat once More that i never instigated any rebellion whatsoever either directly or indirectly 1 never said did or wrote any thing tending to bring such result. I Challenge any bin Pivalo Man to to Rush oven a Shadow of proof against to in that respect. Such nonsense and falsehood have Boon sufficiently re Here again it not my intention to give my views on the events alluded to nor should have me that was left undone nor of was accomplished tha t should have been avoided All i maintain at pres s whatsoever by the French priest of Tho this hardly needs any comment i find very natural on the part of one of or Mcdougall s friends to Praise his devoted Esu but to attain the aim it should not to necessary to resort to Tho base though very common practice of abusing Tho Catholic clergy without Tho slightest cause provocation or reason. The Catholic Mission of the Saskatchewan has in record such Nares that it cannot be creditable for any one to in sult them. Tho names of father Thi Bault father Lacombe Bishop Grandin and Many other devoted missionaries will always elicit a sentiment of re Spect from those acquainted with the history of the Saskatchewan and your correspondent no doubt a a too Well meaning Man not to partake of Tho same feeling if to Only takes the trouble to Post himself better in the history of the country.
