LETTER FROM CANADA. frrencli Railroad?life?Horses and Vehicles?Manners and Customs. Dear Lee :?AVe ai j snugly on sconced in Hotel Jolicitc, on the banks of the beautiful I)'Assump tion-, in the town L'Industrie* Are we East or A\'est of the Atlantic? Around and about us are jabbering' frenchmen and French women, whose dialect is so peculiarly a provincialism that were L'llomme de Paris set down in their midst he wbuld scarcely rccpe;uizc his ver liacular tongue* This town is about fifty miles Jvorth East of Montreal, and is reached by steaming forty miles on that grandest of Itivers the St. Lawrence, and then by Rail twelve miles Xorth. on a Railroad, too. that is emphatically sui generis.? Eacli one presents a side view of three carriage bodies, each carriage having a door in either side and the passengers sit facing each other as in a carriage, the seats holding five persons comfortably, thus seat ing thirty passengers to the car.? All the doors arc shut as the train starts, and the conductor waits around the car on an outside plat Forrti as lie collects Lis fare. Tlie feature of the road, however, is that the wheels roll directly upon the wooden stringers, not a bar of iron being laid on the road, The stock holders built the road as the tailor 'cuts his coat?according * to his cloth. 2so money to buy iron, but the train had to be run, and hence they dash along on the wood twelve miles per hour. Docs the Abbe ville bronch beat that? "Wliile the lntfpr mnv live in holies of avoiding bankruptcy as long as a wooden I Btrincrer can be substituted for iron i bars, so ?his Road lives in hopes of < better times, as piles of T. iron lie < along its entire length. < This town is the result of natural < circumstances. The surrsUuding l country was settled anterior to the ] French war by the ancestors of those I whom Wolf conquered, and from i that day to this there has been little < or no immigration. .Natural in- 1 crease demanded a town, and here i it was located. For aught I can t see, it may as well have he en placed 1 anywhere else in this beautiful val- t ley. The surrounding country is 1 flat, toleranly'productive aud dot- \ ted all over with little farms lneas- a uring from 50 to 500 acres. The r people are French in habits, man- i ners, customs and language. Their r laws arc peculiarly their own, and g were preserved unaltered by a con- c dition of the treaty after their sur- r render to the English. Seldom 1 have they been amended, and never "v improved, from that day to this, c Real estate'here sells high, but the ? 2>urehaser always sues for titles, as i nothing bnt an action at law is sup posed to be able to give validity to f ,deeils. " t The farmers grow cabbage, pota- 1 toes, apples, onions, chickens, tur- 1 keys, pigs, sheep, beef for home 2 consumption, horses and hay. Sat- v u rdaj is the market day for this ( town, and from day dawn until | noon the farmers and their wives arc arriving in the one-horse ve- ] hieles, (no such tiling as a two c horse vehicle here) loaded down < with produce which they sell en- 1 tirely out during the day, but for \ the life of us we could not tind out who were the purchasers, for the 7 iarmers ana ineir wives seemeu 10 i make up the crowd. They come ) from twenty-five and thirty miles j around, and 011 arrival tliey string j themselves along on each side of r the two streets that run parallel 1 with the market houses, and such a 1 chattering as they keep up during \ the day, 110 one has ever heard who ^ has seeu this town. The tout ensem- j lie is a perfect hedlani. i Their vehicles, too, are certainly , peculiar. Of the hundreds we saw ] last Saturday, not one had steel , springs, and except the tire there is 1 1 1 * - I< 1 scarcely a ponnu 01 iron m out* 01 them. Large carts with wooden axles aaol wooden lynch pins as large as your finger, one liorse wag gons with spring board seats, and every possible style, of vehicle seen nowhere else that ever I have been, with all sorts of wooden arranged springs,, each drawn by a small chunk of a horse, half of them spavined or curbed, and each with a load heavy enough for a yoke of oxQii, are the means through which these primitive people carry 011 their peculiar traffic. I had occa sion," yesterday, to travel forty-five miles through their country in a buggy, and though twelve miles were turn pike, the rest was rather heavy, but a level dirt road. We made-'the trip inside of twelve hours. This gives you an idea how these little, horses are driven, and why they are crippled. Throughout the day's journey I passed three little villages, and outside of these I never saw a two story house. Most of the houses had but two rooms down etairs with a sort ol' Attic with projecting windows up stairs In the partition below stands the cooking stove, one room heiu<r a C ' o sleeping apartment, the other for jit finer rlinino*. oookincr. wfisliincr \&c. The village hotels are cut up into small close rooms, and not a ! fire-place in the house, every room j being heated in winter by pipes. ! (disconnected in Summer,) running from the stove into and around evey room in the house* The kitchen opens iuto the dining-room, the dining room into the bar room, the bar room into the parlor, and the parlor, in all probability, into the landlord's bed chamber.' The stables are ten feet beyond the kitchen, and the cow-shed next door beyond. The landlady does tlif rTinlrinoc f|>n dniin'litoiv.. ifnnv. the "waiting," the sons curry the horses, and the old gout rips around generally, taking a drink whenever asked as it is too cheap to be re fused?only five cents a drink for good Scotch whiskey done up with j maple sugar and hot water,-making a what-do-you-call-it ??a temper ance night cap. | Corn grows here about three feet high, and bears a nubbin scarcely big enough to choke an ordinary eow. AVlien. gathered the corn is housed, but shucks and stalks arc pften thrown into mud holes to mend the public highway. I asked an old farmer why he did this; he replied, because I have too much. I thought of the Dutchman who 1 said, "I stacked mine hay in do field as much as I can, I put do rest in de-barn." These people live on fresh meat, I Dread, onions, potatoes, and tea, and 1 ;his seems to be their bill of fare :hree times a day. It isgenerally < veil' prepared, appetizing and ?heap. Board is one dollar per t lay and twenty-five cents a meal, i Canada money being now twelve ,*ents in the dollar more valuable * ;han greenbacks. Occasionally iioney is seen 011 the table, and J :heir bee-hives are oddities. They j ire made of straw twisted into a ] ope at a distance with bees con gregated around its base, where lirough apertures they enter the lives. Tlie butter is delicious, but heir cattle arc as inferior as their lorses, occasionally a small nerd of vliat appears to be half Ayshires, ire seen grazing on the beautifu neadows that seem to cover every nch of land with a carpet of the idlest green. The very roads are jreen, except in the ruts, and paths if their single horse teams, with a ich verdure ol a fern with a leaf ike the mimosa, the stinted rag veed, white clover and yellow \ . i;.

Ross was the Moder ator; at the late meeting from which we were absent, Mr. lioss was again the Moderator. We regretted very much to bo ab sent from I lie late meeting, for various I reasons, not the least of' which was,j that we greatly desired to visit Pis gah, ils Pastor and people, as it is a section of the church which it has never been our plcasuro to see. But the Air Line road will soon bo com pleted, and then, I). V.; we can visit it easily and quickly. The meeting of Synod seems to p have been a small one, but tho usualj amount of business was transacted, 'h and with a good degree of harmony,!'1 as wo learn. A lew tnmgs noi men tioned by <4II." may be noticed. 1st. The time of the meeting of Sj'tiod was changed. It is henceforth to meet in October, instead of Sep tember. 2nd.
