The Temiscouata Road, from River du Loup to Lake Temiscouata ; and The Meta- PBDTA Road, from Cabot to Restigouche. In order to facilitate the settlement of these parts of Canada, the Government has authorized Free Grants of land along these roads, not exceeding in each case, 100 acres, and obtaioabl'^ upon the following conditions . 1st. That the settler be Eighteen years of age : — 2nd. That he take possession of the '.nd allotted to him, within one month; — 3rd. That he put into a state of cultivation, 12 acres of land in the course of four years ; — 4th. That he build a log-house, 20 by 14 feet, and reside on the lot until the foregoing conditions are fulfilled. Families may reside on a single lot, and the several membcR "raving land allotted to them, will be exempt from building and residence upon each individual lot The non-ful- filment of these conditions will cause the immediate loss of the land, which will be sold or given to another. Tha lands thus op&ned up, and gratuitously offered by the Government for settlement, are chiefly of excellent quality, and well adapted in respect of soil and cli- mate, to all the purposes of husbduury. I I I li The Timber BeBouroes of Canadar The principal descriptions of Timber found in the forests of Canada are : — White, Yellow, and Red Pine ; White and Black Spruce ; Tamarac ; White, Rim, and Black Ash ; Grey, Red, Soft, and Rock Elm ; Bird's Eve, White, and Red Oak ; Bird's Eye, Curly, and Soft Maple ; Black and Grey Walnut; Smooth and Rough Bark Hickory ; Iron wood ; Red W ild Cherry ; Basswood ; Beech ; Red and White Cedar ; Hemlock ; Fir j Poplar ; Chestnut ; Buttonwood ; and Whiiowood. For furniture and ornamental purposes, the luxuriant beauties of our Crotched, Wavy, and Mottled Black Walnut are well-known, both here and in Europe ; also the beauties of our Bird's Eye and Curly Maples, as well as of our Curly Birch, Crotched White Oak, aud Led Wild Cherry. The superio*- qualities of our White, Red, and Yellow Pine, are fully acknowledged in the markets of Europe. Our Oaks, Elms, and Tamarac rank high for ship-building and general purposes ; in fact, all our woods are susceptible of being util- ized in the arts and manufactures. Canada exports annually about 80,000,000 cubic feet of timber in a rough state, and about 400,000,000 feet, board measure, of Sawed Lumber. The revenue derived by the Province during the year 1860 for timber, cut in the public forests, amounted to about $500,000, or £125,000 currency. Mining of the Upper Lakes of Canada. The following Order :n Council has just been issued : — " His Excellency the Governor General has been pleased to direct — " Ist. That for Mining purposes, tracts comprising not more than four hundred acres each, be granted to parties applying for the same, at the rate of one dollar per acre, to be paid in full on the sale, the applicant furnishing a plan and description of the locality to this Department, and on conditior that such Mineral Location be worked within one year from the date of said grant. " 2nd. That no patent thjrefor issue until two years from the date of the purchase, and then only upon proof that the purchaser or his assignee has continued to work said location bona-Jide for at least one year previously.

( The followiiiR extract, taken from the report of Mr. Hayes, the Crown Land Agent for the district, bearing diitf the 28th November, 1861, will show that the settlements upon this road are gradiiiilly increasing in importance and prosperity. It appears that the lands arn turning out beitt-r than people at first anticipated; they are accessible by many good roads, the soil produces excellent and fertile crops, and everything conspires to render them most eligil)lf fur settlement The remarks and suggestions offered by Mr. Hayes in the concluding poriiou 1 1- i 15 were natives of England. 15 " " Ireland.

In addition to those located on free and purchased lots, a good many have gone in and located thsmselves on unsurveyed lands in the townships of Limerick and Wollastou, with the intention of purehaHiog as soon as the lands are open for sale. I would estimate the number of persons who have gone in, in this way at about thirty families, of whom one half were of tiiis years' emigration. There were also some twelve or fifleen families who purchased or rented fiirnis in this and the adjoining townships. All the English people located this year are new-oi34 79 14 79 206^- 235 1438 440 998 Lands opened for sale since the establishment of this agency, on the first of January, 1859, commencing with a part of each of two townships only, for the first year : — Total number of acres placed in market 284,760 Of which the following have been sold and paid for, either in part or in full, on condition of actual settlement 80,739 Number of actual settlers on purchased lands are more than double that on Free Grants. Leaving surveyed and ready for settlement 194,011 Several other townships on either side of the road are under survey, and it is probable that more lands will be placed in market this year than will be sold. About twenty fumilies of emigrants came to this road during the past year,a few others, came into the neighbourhood and have either purchased improved farms or rented them. They are all English and Irish. The crops in this neighborhood, although not so good as the year before, were of a pretty fair average. The Bobcaygeon Road can bo reached by Grand Trunk to Port Hope ; thence to Lindsay by Rail, forty-two miles; thence by steamer, which can be had almost daily during summer, to Bobcaygeon, about 28 miles, were teams can be got to convey luggage to any point on the road, carrying from ten to fifteen hundred to each pair of horses, accor- ding to the state of the road. I should have said that the greater number of the settlers are either farmers who have left the older parts of the Province having sold small farms at a high price, being improved, 80 as to provide farms for their children in this new country at the low rate of government lands — or the sons of such that their parents have provided with means to make a beginning for themselves. It will be a great advantage to the emigrant to have such people for neighbours, as the man that is brought up in the country can, and is generally willing to assist those who require it, with his hands and his advice, which latter is often very much needed but not always taken. Route by G.T.R. to Port Hope 437, fare $4.50 ; thence to Bobcaygeon, via Lindsay, by rail and stoamer, 75 miles. Burleigh Road.— County of Peterborough JOSEPH GRAHAM, Pe^erAoroM^rA, Agent for Burleigh Road. The land in the townships on the Burleigh Road is generally very good, nearly two- thirds of it being adapted for settlement. Price per acre, 70 cents, or 2s. lOd. stg., cash. Ten free grants have been taken up on the Burleigh Road, and several lots have been sold in other townships during the last year. Two of the settlers were emigrants of the season, the others old residents. Thero is a very fair demand for agricultural laborers in the County of Peterborough. Wages vary from $8 to $16 a month ; female domestics get from $4 to $5 a month, with board. Plenty of improved farms may be purchased in the county for from £2 to £10 sterling, per acre, according to the quality of soil and locality. A few might be rented at from 8s. to 16s. sterling, per acre. A road is completed as far back as the rear of the Township of Burleigh. RouTB. — By Grand Trunk Bailway to Peterborough, via Cobourg, 459 miles, for $5.50 Muskoka Road. / '..' Agent : R. J. OLIVER, Orillia Co., Simcoe. Mr. Oliver in a report received from him the 24th January, 1862, thus writes : The Muskoka Road is the most westerly, and the last towards Lake Huron, of several fr«'e grant or colonial roads, running nearly north and south, from the border settlements of Upper Canada, to a road running at right angles from Ottawa city to the upper part of Lake Huron at Sault Ste. Marie, in a direct line to the Red River Settlement. This Road commences on the River Severn, which empties from Lake Couchiching, or Lake Simcoe, into Lake Huron, was placed under my charge in August, 1859, with ',• 'I,, ; .;„ ,1;., . . ,■ 16 f|) about 19 milHsof road to the great falls of Muskoka, on which were 137 free grant lots. The first portion of Iho road is uninviting, it being intersected with large belts of rock, but the. soil is good, and much better land is found in the rear, bounding Sparrow and Muskoka lakes. 72 of these lots are located, presenting in many cases good dearances and buildings. A lumber mill is at work on the road, a school-house built, and one about to be built, with a weekly mail, soon to be made a tri-weekly. The total population on the road is 249, divided as follows: — Irish, 116; Scotch, 65; English, 43; Canadian, 19; German, 6. Improvements : houses, 54 ; shanties, 37; barns 6zc., 23 ; acres cleared 200 ; dittochopped, 100. Stock comprises: cows, 10; cattle, 30; horses, 8; pigs, 35; poultry, 300. The value of produce grown the past harvest, including mola. >ea, sugar, shingle8,(&o., amounts to $5,282.25. There are three taverns, and as many stores on the road. Reli- gious services are regularly performed by Protestant denominations. All males 18 years of age are entitled to 100 acres, for a fee of $5 only. To clear 12 acres in four years, build a bouse 16x20, and to reside on the lot. These conditions entitle the holder to a clear deed at the expiration of four years. The Crown Lands under my charge, comprise four townships, Morrison, Muskoka, Draper, and Macaulay. The colonial road before mentioned runs through these townships. The Crown Lands came into my charge in October last, since which time 6,000 acres have been disposed of A great portion of this land was occupied by squatters, who had made considerable improvements on their lots before they came into market. The total population on Crown Lands is 421, as follows : Irish, 139; English, 88; Scotch, 112; Canadian, 13; German, 53; French, 16. Improvements; houses, 44 ; shanties, 72; barns, &c., 23 ; out-houses, 14 ; one lumber mill, at work. Stock comprises : horses, 8 ; cows, 58 ; cattle, 70 ; pigs, 75 ; poultry, 200 ; last harvest return, $7,202.20. The settlement presents the following summary: population 670; houses, 78 ; shanties, 109 ; barns, &c., 60 ; live stock, 330 ; year's produce, $12,532.75. Emigrants : 15 families ; Irish,3; English, 8 ; German, 2; French,2; 648ouls. The Muskoka Road is extending from the great Falls of Muskoka, In a north westerly direction to a harbour at Parry's Sound, on Lake Huron, a distance of about 50 miles. The land and timber improves very much on this new road, and is contiguous to a chain of four lakes. By striking a bee-line from the harbour on Parry's Sound to Ottawa City, through the country now opening up, will show this route to be 200 miles shorter than the one now open by way of Oollingwood and Toronto, and 170 miles nearer to Montreal. This is an important saving in western travel, and one that must make the settlement a valuable one. From this village to the settlement is 14 miles, 12 of which can be travelled by water ; two boats run daily in summer, and in winter either by road on lake shore, or on the ice. The settlement can be reached from Toronto in one day, either in winter or summer, it will be seen, therefore, that the access is both rapid and easy. No difficulty has yet arisen in obtaining work for emigrants, either at road making or clearing, the for- mer supplied by contractors, the latter by settlers, with means to enable them to hire to get their lands cleared as fast as possible. This will undoubtedly continue. Men capable of building log houses, (kc, obtain in some instances $1 per day and rations, the usual rate is from 75 cents to 4s. stg. a day, without rations. The prevailing quality of the soil is light with a mixture of sand, having in districts a subsoil of grey clay. There are also heavy day bottoms having a loamy surface. The lands are exceedingly well timbered and watered by lakes and rivers, with fish in abundance, and excellent mill sites. Grain and root crops of all kinds yield well. Partly improved farms are always to be had in the neighbourhood, suitable for persons of moderate means, but the class of settler's most desirable are those who are accustomed to work, with small capital to purchase a necessary outfit of farming utensils, (which at first are simple) and provisions for sustenance until after a first crop is realized. Money is of little use here unless muscle is brought into play, for the most unfortunate are those who entertain romantic ideas of bush life, thinking that nothing is required beyond their means but a little pleasant relaxation. All such are victims in new countries, and cannot hope to succeed. The hard working, industrious and thrifty laborer, or small farmer of the old countries are such as in the ccmse of a few years make for themselves a comfortable honestend and independent living.

In no other pursuit is this result so surely and steadily arrived at, and the Severn and Muskoka districts offer to the emigrant a sure reward for toil Toluatsrily undertaken. There are about 100,000 acres of land for sale. Price 70 cents, or 28. lOd. sterling, an acre, cash. Route. — By Grand Trunk Railway to Toronto, distance 500 miles, fare $5.00, then by Northern Railroad to Bell Evart, then by steamer to Orillia — 87 miles. Ottawa and Opeongo Road. Agent: T. P. FRENCH, Clontarf. From Mr. French's last report, bearing date the 29th January, 1862, the following information relative to the present state and advancement of this, the oldest of the free grant roads, is compiled : During the pcist year, 40 new settlers took up land upon this road. The nationalities of the free grant settlers may be thus stated : 22 Natives of England. 181 Ireland. 12 Scotland. 20 Canada West. 11 Canada East 46 Pru&sia. 4 Germany. 2 United States. 298 ^ 1 Church lot. ' " 299 There is a large prosperous settlement of Englishmen in the township of Brudenell, adjoining the free grants, and from which Mr. Perry says, it is anticipated that the Prussians, a hard-working, thrifty, and seemingly honest people, who are fast acquiring a knowledge of our langage and of the habits of the country, will receive a considerable increase to their numbers. The undermentioned figures are the result of the Agent's «^nqu^in as to the extent and value of the crop raised last year upon the free grants on this road : 9724 bushels of Wheat, , at $ 1 OOabushel $9724 00 13362 1149 64 899 20596 12847 424 600 2766 tons of lbs. of Oats " Barley ....

The land is a good deal broken with lakes and hills. The greater part of it, however, is well adapted for settlement.

The settlers are English, Irish, Scotch, and a few Americans. Farm laborers and female domestic servants are much wanted in this district. Men's wages by the year, run from $8 to $12 per month, with board ; good hands get from $1 to f 1.50 per day, during harvest. Servant girls from $3 to $5 per month. A good many improved farms are for sale ill this district, at from $10 to $40 per acre, or to rent at from $1 to $2 per acre, according to location and state of cultivation. ;- Route. — By the Grand Trunk Railway or Steamboat, to Kingston, 840 miles, fare $3.75 ; by daily stage to Frontenac, Lennox or Addington.

The land belonging to the Crown in this district consists of 55,000 acres, one-half of it is of fair quality and well adapted for settlement. As this land, however, is for the most part in old surveyed townships, the best lots have been taken up. About 50 lots were allotted during the past season. The settlers are of mixed origins. Probably from 200 to 300 agricultural laborers could find employment if they scattered themselves through the district. The price ol farms would of course depend a great deal upon locality, but it would run from £2 to £S sterling an acre. Many of the old settlers would be willing to acM their farms and remove to the interior. There are good roads which intersect and run in all directions.

The extent of land open (or sale in the neighbourhood of Chatham is about 11,700 acres, besides 340 hulf acres in the village of Shrewsbury ; the greater portion of it is well situated, and at an eiis\ distance from established roads. Last year the agent disposed of 43 lots containing nearl> 5000 acres in addition to 55 village lots in Shrewsbury. Plenty of good farms may he purchased in the district, average price $25 or £5 sterling an acre, whilst farms of 50 to 100 acres can be rented at from £10 to £60 per annum. The major part of the land owners are self-made men, who have cleared their own farms, and have families of grown up children around them, therefore, there is but little want of immigrant labor ; a great demand however exists for female servants.

When the government work now under contract is completed, there will be good roads running through every township in this district. All the townships contain a fair average proportion of hard wood land with excellent soil, broken occasionally with supposed min- eral ranges. The hard wood land is well adapted tor settlement, and this summer the government would probably give employment to one hundred and fifly men. Laborers last season where paid $1 or 4s. sterling a day, without board. There are 103,000 acres open for sale, price 70 cents or 2s. lOd. sterling per acre, cash.

They would then retire to the " rear and malte new farms, being acquainted with the woods. Emigrants coming here to " settle could always get work from old settlers at a fair recompense.

The settlers are of different nationalities, English, Irish Scotch, Swedish and Germans. At present there is a scarcity of improved farms in the market, but thera is always a demand for agricultural laborers ; healthy young men and women would find no difRculty in obtaining employment.

TIME TO EMIGRATE AHD BEST MODE OP BEAOHINO CANADA. It is of the greatest importance to the emigrant, that he should arrive in the country at as early a period of the year as possible. Those who sail in the »"' nths of April and May, may expect to arrive in time for the spring and summer work, and to obtain the higher rate of wages, which are usually given by the farmer during harvest time. They will thus be enabled to secure a h"me against the coming winter. If, on the other hand, they land at a season when nearly all out-door work has ceased, they may be. exposed to much hardship. If the means ot the emigrant will permit it, STEAMERS should be preferred to sailing vessels, First-class steamers leave Liverpool, Londonderry, and Glasgow weekly, from April to Noviiub^r direct foi Quebec. ,. ,, . (wn^m.-- .. LUGGAGE — Should be in comfiact handy packages, distinctly marked with the owners name and ilestinatiou. The enorfnous quantities of useless luggage bnught out by emigrants entail heavy expenses and trouble, and in many cases the coft of cartage, porterage and extra freight, exceeds its value. CLOTHING. — Woollen clothing and all descripiions of wearing apparel, flannels, blankets, &c., are much cheapi r in England than in Canada, and wherever it is practicable, the Emigrant should lay in a good stock of clothing before leaving home. TOOLS. — Agricultural laborers nt ed not bring out implements ot husbandry, as these can be easily procured in the country. Artisans are recommended to take such tools as they may possess. Bit both classes must bear i: mind, that there is no difficulty in pro- curing any ordinary tools in the principal towns on advantageous terms, and that it is more desirable to have the means '.* pur chasing what they want after reaching their destination, than to be encumbered with a large quantity of luggage during the journey into the interior. MONEY. — 'Ihe best luode of taking money is in sovereigns, or by a letter of credit on bome established Bank. A sovereign is worth 24s. 4d. currency, or $4.86 cents. The English shilling, Is. 2^d. or 24 cents. CAPITAL. — Emigrants possessing capital, say from jC200 to £500, are advised to purchase or rent a farm with some little improvement upon it, instead of going into the bush tit once, or if inclined, iliey might work for wages the firstyear, by which means they will be- come ucquainte4. with the coutUry and have time to look about them before making their final choice. Parties desirous of investing may obtain from 8 to 10 per cent for their money on mortgage. CLIMATE. The most urroiieous opinions have prevailed Hbniad respecting the clitniiteof Cunudii. The 8o-vHlted rigour of Canadian winters is often advani^ed as a -erious objection to the country, hy many who have not the courage to encounter them, who prefer sleet and tog, to brilliant skieis and bracing cold, and who have yi>t to learn the value and extent of the blessings conferred upon Canada by her world-renowned "'snows," From observations taktn for one year, it appeared that tht^ moan range of the ther- mometer was a> follows : — "■■■ In Eastern (Lower) Canada. In Western (Upper) Canada. For June, Ji:ly, and August For the winter months 77!57 11.25 77.37 22.49 ± In regard to weather, a year's observation showed 309 fine days, and 56 «>f rain or snow in Eastern Canada, and 270 fine days with 89 of rain or snow in Western Canada. The following remarks have been received from the chief agents for Canada East and Canada West respecting the climate of those provinces : CANADA BAST. 1 k "The climate of Canada East, like that of the Lower Provinces, is unquestionably the must healthy in North America. " Disease is unknown among the usual population, except that caused by inequality of diet or imprudent exposure to atmospheric changes. The extreme dryness of the air is shown by the roofs of the houses (which are covered with tin) remaining so long bright, and by a charge of powder remaining for weeks uncaked in a gun. " It is supposed that the long winter 'm unfavourable to agricultural operulious; and though the period during whicli ploughing may beetiiried on is shorter than in more favour- ed climes, yet there are many compensating advantages in the excellence of the snow roads, and the great facilities afforded thereby in conveying produce to market, in drawing man- ure, and hauling out wood from the fori si. " If the real excellence of a climate depends upon the earth yielding ii. perfection and aliundance the necessaries of life, or those which constitute the principal articles of food for man and the domestic animals, then Canada East may compare favourably with any part of the world. The steadiness and uniformity of the summer heat causes all grains and fruits to mature well and with certainty." CANADA WEST. i\: " In a Country of such vast extent as Upper Canada, the climutu varies materially. Throughout the Agricultural or settled part of it along the St. Lawrence and the lakes, and which extends from 50 to 100 miles in depth, the winter may be said to commence early in December. Snow usually falls in sufficient quantities in the eastern section of this range to afford good sleighing about the middle of that month, and to continue with trifling exceptions, until the middle of March. In the western section, altboughi. we have occasionally heavy falls of snow, we are subject to frequent thaws, and sleighing cannot be depended upon except in the interior at a distance from the lakes. On the cleared lands the snow generally disappears about the middle of March, and the sowing of seed for the spring crops begins early in April, and ends about the 10th of May. Ripe wild dtra wher- ries in abundance may be had by the last of June. ■'.
