DEAR SIR.â€"In my last I told you I' would give you a short general descrip- tion of some more of the buildings on, the Centennial grounds and things in? general. It may be that the washer, woman connected with the hotel where I am staying will get to heaven when she slips away from her suds here below, but i’ve an idea that she wont be permit- ted to do up Abraham's bosom. [Needle work is made to look like needle gun- work, you would think there had been a surprise of posts and firing all long the clothes-line, the mangling is that which might have been done by Mitrailleuses; my shirts seem to be on a sort of strike, collars have a limp dissipated look as though they had been out all night and were determined not to get up in the morning. But how wise are the pro- visions of providence, how all things are fitted in the great order of nature ; you get your shirts on Saturday night, this gives you the next blessed day in which to repent of the wicked words spoken where your eye fell upon the contents of the basket and realized how the flat-iron had entered your bosom, and you come out on Monday morning as fresh and unsoiled as a piece of linen ; but I am running away from business. The navy department is the next that comes under my notice, it exhibits models &o,, the wonderful improvements which have been made in naval warfare. The inter ior department exhibits complete models of all the details of the post oflice and also models of all articles which have passed the patent office, The celebrated Smithsonian institution is represented here with its vast collection of the trea- sures and curiosities of the sea and land of science and art embracing every de- partment of knowledge. The women’s pavilion is situated east of the U. 8, building, and cost 40,000, contributed by the women of the United States. It is devoted entirely to the display of women’s handiwork ; Her Majesty Quee Victoria and daughters exhibits iso ,e fancy needle work, embroidery the , weli done for a Queen, but I have seen better done by some of Canada’s fair daughters . at our county fairs. Among the eurois1- ties is a whistle made from a pig’s tail ; Loretto Convent Toronto has a beaut-i. f'ul portrait of' Mary Queen of Scots done in needle work; The engine which is used to run the machinery is run by a young lady Miss Allison ofSt. Catharines, Ont., who it is said can grace a parlor or run an engine. A short distance north is the Canadian log house, builtl of lumber piled up to form the wallspar- litions ’&c., having a row of monstrous logs of oak, elm. beech, maple, pine, cedar, birch, basswood. hemlock, and ash, standing upright to serve for pillars, ;a white cedar plank 5 feet wide by 12 feet long is shown perfectly sound, a ‘white pine tree 660 years growth is also shown. The Japanese bazaar is worth ,seeing, The judges pavilion, house of l public comfort. the diflerent state build- ing; are of minor importance to the visit- ors but still they are worthy of a visit. The novel old fashioned looking build- ing near George’s Hill, known as St. George’s house which is soon to be pre- sented by Her Majesty's Government to the city of Philadelphia, is worth seeing, will remain as a permanent memorial of the Exhibition. -I shall tell of some buildings and]; things Isaw in the city. Philadelphia 1 has a population of'.817,448 inhabitants, : there are 465 public schools and 108,631 1 pupils. The dwelling houses of the city 1 are worth noticing, they are neat and have a pleasant appearance, the streets . are well laid out, and the places ofintcr- est are numerous. I shall now give a short description of some that I have seen: Independence Hall here can be seen the original charter ofthc city dated Oct. 25th 1701, signed by the founder and bearng 1 the great seal of Pennsylvania. Speci- mens of china used by Washington, a copy of the first Philadelphia paper, a brewing mug brought over with Penn, ‘ in the “welcome” a sofa used by \Vashingy' 1 top, and a dining table and looking-« glass once the property (oFWilliam Penn. The old liberty bell can be seen in the vestibule of the old state house, this was the hell that proclaimed liberty throughout all the land on July 8th, 1776. United States mint on Chestnut St., is worth seeing where Uncle Sam makes his 40 cent half dollars. I saw bags of gold and coins from all countrys‘ Masonic Temple on Broad St, costing| $2,500,000, theâ€"grandest place of meet-y ‘ ing for the craft in the world. ,Girard} College the gift of Stephen Girerd for the education of orphan children is grand. The next on my way was the eastern‘ penitentrary. Fairmount Avenue, it is; conducted on a new principle, the .con-“ victs are kept in close confinement, thcyl work in their cells ; the first object is to: see they do not .get out and the' next is: there moral .culture there, there food is’ good the officers are kind,;1nd gentlemenly and think it a pleasure to tell stra‘ngersg‘ the workingiof'vtlxc penitentrary. ‘1 have met some Canadians ,trom our section, W. Patterson Esq, from your own place looking well; John C. McCarty Esq, of Spruce farm, East Gwillinbury and W. W. Pegg, Deputy Reeve of same place, worthy son’s of our country lock well and are enjoying themselves. I LETTER N0. II. To the Editor of The Herald.

When we arrived at Hamilton they appeared to be a very large crowd for the occasion, report says the num- ber was about 3000 sent 06 by three or %four separate trains. All went off well until within about 1’15 miles of" Phila- delphia at 12 o'clock noon, 3. station call- ed Tinkhamock, where about 250 of the party took dinner; about half past one the engine bell rung for ofl‘, after going about one mile the train suddently stop- ed from the bursting of an steam pipe connecting the air breaks which caused them instantly to tighten up. Our en- gine tore loose from us, in about one minute a. second train canie dashing into our rear car; thanks to Mr Samuel Soar lett of Toronto, who was standing on the rear platform gave the alarm for the pas seugers of the same to rush forwardI the command was obeyed so quick that the car was emptied in half'a minute‘ Eer- tunately the engine only passed through the empty car. The Big Push caused a great portion of the passengers to be unseated from main force and not from the efi‘cet of our late election lawI passed by our pure Government. The whole damage was one locomotive and three cars to be left behind, We were delayed about 2 hours, the day was fine, the pas- sengers amused themselves by pelting the apple orchards ; the ofliciaiszeppcar'ed to be lost not knowing what to do. I of- fered to take the contract to clear the track, but they refused to give me the job saying they had no authority as the broken cars were borrowed andI might add to their loss by rough handling. The only passenger hurt was one standing at a glass door and went through head first only causing some scratches, We ar- rived in about midnight without any further loss. DEAR SIR.â€"I ‘wrll give you a few in- cidents of my travels to and in Eastern Virginia. Took passage on the screw steamer for Richmond to and by the York river of 20 hours, passing out of Baltimore harbor, seeing a great amount of shipping, .9 o’clock came and being weary of sight seeing I turned into my birth for the night. At about 11 o'clock the vessel began to leak badly and one of‘ the paddlerwheels got out ol order and the future began to look pretty bad. 1 was not much disturbed though at 12 I got up and looked round, behold it was a dream (as regards the ship). At four o'clock I turned out again and found all hands on the lower deck, the engineer trying to hold the paddle-wheel in one position to allow one of the buckets to be cut away to save others being broken. The water too rough and we were obliged to move slowly on until we could get in- to still water. when we again stopped and went to work, the saws would not work in wet timber and no room to swxng the axe. No ship carpenter being on board but myself I was obliged to get a ham- mer and punch to set the saw, when we soon succeeded in amputating the frac- tured limb and passed on pleasant by, } Richmond ; when I was surprised to find so many familiar and white faces and not so many darkies as I expected at Baltimoreltichmond and at all other pub he places the excitment was great Tilden' and Hendricks elected shouting “ good' times coming boys.” In Richmond I met Dr. T. J. VVoodbridge, member of Congress, who invited me to taken drive With him in his buggy going about 25 miles, visiting many of the old 'battle grounds. I had a confederate war map with me and was quite familiar with they history and names of places,if I tell the particulars of sightseeing this letter Wlll be too long for the information of Rich- mond Hill. The Dr.isthe surgeon who attended Benjamin}, now Major, and son of our late old Colonel ‘Bridgford, who was shot in a duel at Richmond many years ago, tire‘ball passed through his chest ‘ and was extracted from his back. He reeoverd and passed through the war and is now living I believe in New Yorlr city. If you think this or any portion worth printing ‘1 will in another letter give par- ticularsiof the state and appearance of the country. FrEEricksbm-g, Virginia, Nov. 10, 1876.

SIR.-â€"In .a former letter I stated that aggreatmzmy settlers had come in to possess the .“ goodly land,” which awaits the hand of the indispensible husband- mnn ; .and to show then; that their in‘ toms! is also the interest of the G0veru~ Imeut. A large gang of men have been employed during the slimmer in making roads for the accommodation of theen- tci'prising pioneers. A good road now leads from Binge mines to Sanlt Slo. Marie, .a distance of 45 miles; and passes through a fine district, ‘which is partially settled, and which is rapidly being ,filledpp; another road, the one ibuilt _this season, passes to the east at lright angles to the longer road; and) when completed, will intersect the iTownships of Plummcr, Lefroy and l Rose, about. 50 families are comfortably settled in the two former, and about half ‘that nymbehrin the latter; end as To the Editor of The Herald. Yours truly Very truly yours, ALGQMA. J onN LANGSTAFR. JOHN LANGSTANH TheBruce and Wellington mines have been in operation for nearly 30 years, and have usually employed ahout 500. men, many of whom are now able to live comfortably upon the interests of the savings of those years of toil, ’-l“he tool; in which the copper is found has a darlg gray or bluish tint, and the paying lode! are usually from 18 to 30 inches wide, and how deep is not known, as many of the shafts are 500 feet deep; and still the copper is found, though the quality. is rather inferior to that nearer the spin; face. Two shafts about (i feet in gli- ameier are sunk about 50 feet! and about the same distance apart, and the whole «intervening rock is then blasted out, and sent to the surfape,so that those will have been inadg a trench n little wider than the lode. A roof of heavy timber is put in and the same procea fakes place again and again, until the. workmen have gone down as far as the machinery for hoisting, puinping, etce etc., will work; leaving an immense, drain from top to bottom, with here and there a timber roof, to preventany stone from falling upon their heads. Mining has for the past 25 yearsbeen, the chief business carried on ;. and in~ deed a glance at the large pile of'refuse‘ rock scattered around the works, would readily convince any one that industry had been the prevailing virtue for many years. Copper,_ both native and org, silver, iron and lead, are found along the: shores; but it is only at a few points; where they have been found in paying quantities; not because the quantity did not exist, but it has not been sought after. The mines along the Eastern and Northern shores of Lake Huron produce only the ore; but the Superior milneq are {[l’mcipally “ native,” that is pure meta, or nearly so, Different gangs being simultaneously. employed, fihcy are enabled in cou_rse of} - few months to pass from one mine tell an thcr by the subterranean passages. 01" course artificial light is required. and each man works with a short cande fastened to his hat with moist clay. A valuable iron mine, to the north of the Wellington mine. is now being profitable worked, and a silverdead lode has beet: discovered at Garden River, whieh, so far has given the company good return; Perhaps the Miehipicoton mine is the best" Native Copper” one in the Sn- perior district; but on account of it being an island, which is completely iso. lated from the outer world for seven months ef’the s.“ Men are not very willing! to go, and 1310 result is that the slmfis have not hem stink very deep yet, though the field is good.
