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

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

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

The Meeting of Synod.
"IT." reports the editor of the
! Prtabylerian as among the absent from |
ithe moetin.o- of Svnod. and so ho was
?very much to his regret. For the
j first time in twenty-nine years he was
! unable to go, and for tho sacond time
1 in that period ho was absent. Provi
dence has been very kind to him and
:bis in this matter. Ilis way has
never been hedged up before, and he
lias never felt at liberty to tiy to
frame an excuse, and hence, with the
two exceptions above namod, ho has
never been absent from the meeting I

"II." movo to sustain our reason for
abscncc?
A coincidence occurs to us here
that is worthy of r.otc. At the meet
ing in 1831, from which we were ab
sent-, liev. It. A. 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. Tho opening and closing of
the sessions in Erskine College was
changed, so as to bring both about
two weeks earlier, we believe.
3rd. The Asscssmenis of last year
were continued for the next j'ear.
4th. lier. I). F. Haddon was ap
lointed to represent the Synod in Ihe
icxt meeting of the United Presbyte
rian General Assembly.
5th. Rev. II. Lathan was appointed
;o visit the South-west, including
rcxas, and to spend at least three
nonths during tho year in hunting
lp our scattered people in that re
gion.
6lh. The subject of Foreign Mis
n'ons was discussed, and a Committee
ippointcd to report on it next year.
7th. Synod adjourned to meet next
rear at Mt. Zion, Missouri.
Sth. Dr. Hemphill and D. B. Prcss
y were assigned to Kentucky again.
aCV^S, P. Davis to Georgia, .Rev. D.
A. lieid to the Memphis JL'rest>3*tery.
aGv. J. B. Muse to Alabama, and Rev.

carefully attend to any orders for shirts
entrusted to him.
Call at the Store of WHITE BROTH
EltS and have your measure taken, and
thereby secure a perfect fit. You can
get any style you wish, and plaits of any
width, and made for studs, eyelets or
buttons in bosom.
The shirts are made of the very best
New York Mills Long Cloth, and the
best quality of Linen in bosom and on
their cutis, and will last eighteen
months constant wearing.
Satisfaction guaranteed in fit, style
and quality. We have furnished shirts
to several gentlemen and have invaria
bly given satisfaction. Try them once,
and you will always buy them.
