In 1850 the vont vesselon Portage Lake was the Indian bar canoe, while in 1860, there came and went dP grids 67 steamers, and 15 schooners. In 1854, there was no white population at Portage Lake, and now the, census shows over 5,000 persons. The, exports of the .

Canada possesses ove half ef Lake Superior, the ne “ta shore ig as rich in mine« rals as the southern, its wenlth was as early explored, and the practical work of-mining commented on both sides about the same” time. But how much of the twelve milliope” of exports and imports belong to Canada; and how mnch to-the United States ? How tany. vessela enter-a Canadian upon Lake Superior? The answer isa melancholy one. With the exception of @schooner maintained by the Hudson Bay Company, there is nota Canadian yessel on our largest inland sea. We have fot a vessel trading on Lake Supe~ rior; while the Americans number theirs by the hundred. Butitis not alone by the lack of the meanaof communication that the progress of thénorth shore has been retarded, If our Government had set themselves to work. to devise a land policy by which the country might remain closed, they could not have done more to forward the end.— Toronto Globe. — : Horse Wispom.—Anything that the horse can touch with his nose-without be« ing harmed, he does not fear. Therefore the hand, thé haltér, girth, blanket; saddle, harness, umbrella, buffalo robe, or whatever is broughtin close proximity to him, should ‘be first “introduced” to and touched by that sensitive organ. A-knowledge of these important facts, as learned by attending a course of his lectures, is the main secret of Rarey’s success in horse-taming.
