Some two centuries ago two hundred Micmac Indians were camp- ing there for the night ; their canoes had been beached, and a neighboring cavern offered an apparently secure asylum to the warriors, their wives and children. Wrapped in sleep, they quietly awaited the return of day to resume their journey. But during the still hours of night the Iroquois had compassed his slumbering foe. Laden with birch' bark faggots and other combustibles, the Iroouois silently sur- rounded the cave ; the faggots were piled around it; the torch applied. The Micmacs, terror stricken, seize their arms and prepare to rush through the flames and sell their lives as dearly as possible, but a shower of poisoned ar- rows mows them down, the toma- Bia 35 BIR hawk completfls the scene, nnd history mentions but five, out of tlio two hun- dred, who escaped wiih their lives.

Atlantic, Davis' Strait ci.a(L liaitiud Bay, N. by the Arctic Otean, N.W. by Alaska, W. by the Pacific and S. by the United States. It comprehends the Srovince3 of Quebec, Ontarioj New runswick, Nova Scotia, including the Island of Cape Breton, Prince Edward IslandjNewfoundland, Manitoba, British Columbia, and the North West Terri- torie3. Generally speaking British America is a level country. With the exception of the Rocky Mountains, on the W., it has but few elevations, and these are for the most pai*t of inconsider- able height. The const has numerous indentations, the most remarkable of which, on the E., are the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Hudson's Bay. The latter, communicating with the Atlantic through Hudson's and Probisher's Straits, and with the Arctic Ocean by means of Fox Channel, Gulf of Boothia, Prince Regent's, and other inlets, penetrates to near the centre of the continent, forming one of the most exten'?ive inland seas on the globe. The snrfixce of the country is extremely diversified with rivers and lakes. The St. Lawrence, a river of immense vo- lume, over 2000 miles in length, forma the outlet of the great Canadian lakes. The Saskatchewan, rising in the Rocky Mountains, traverses 18^ of Ion., or a distance of at leas 900 miles, and falls into the great Lal.a Winnijjcg, in 53' N. lat. This lake is connected with Hudson's Bay by the Nl-Isou or Port Nelson ,river, about 500 miles in length. Lake Athabaska, situated about lat. 58' N., and Ion. 110' W., receives, among others, the Peace river and the 4thabaska, a large stream, rising in the Rocky Mountains, near tlip source of the Columbia. The Mackenzie, entering the Arctic Ocean, ia one of the largest rivers 9n the glooe. It flows through about I'Q^ of lat. E. of the Mackenzie, and flowing into the Arctic ocean, are the Coppermine and Fish rivers. The basin of the Winnipeg may be considered as a continuation of that of tbe St. Law- rence, or as a portion of one high plateau divided into two parts. There can be but little doubt ihat a very great if not the greater part of the vast region included under the name of British Amen.^a, is doomed to everlasting sterility, on account of the severity of the climate. Tbe most northern station in which vegetation has been discovered is: Melville Uland, 74° 50' N. lat., where the mean annual temperature is from 1 to 2 degrees below zero, and that of July, about 42°. The sptcies that exist here consist chiefly of saxi- frages, grasses, cruciform plants, mosses and lichens ; not a tree or even a bush is able to rear its head ; nor, indeed, is there a single plant or woody structure except a little willow (Salix artica) which ri'es six inches high. It is in these latitudes that the red snow plant, (Protoccocus nivulis) that most simplt of cryptogamic vegetables, exists in all its beauty. As we advance south- ward, vast forests of spruce firs (Abiea alba and nigra) among which grow the reindeer moss and other lichens, over- spread the land. To those are added different kinds of wild currants and berries, and a variety of papilionaceous plants, which abound in the open plains. With these are combined, as we continue to advance, the majestic poplars of Canada, (Populus hudsoniea, and others^ birches, (Jietula papyracea and populi/olia), and many sorts of BRI 45 BRI oaks and ashes, together with butternuts (Juglans Venerea) and hickories (Cari/a alba and ainara.) The animals hunted for food are deer, of four diflFerent kinds, buffiilocs, rabbits, and porcupines. Wild fowl arc also numerous, especially grouse, wild geeso and ducks. The principal objects of traffic, especially in the most northern parts, are the skins of fur-clad animals, of which there are here a great variety. The chief tribes inhn'.)iting the Northern regions, are the Chipiiowas, the Assiniboins, the Crees, the Slave Indians, and the Esquimaux. Of all these tribes the Crees nave the best character, being active, honest and hostiitable, kind to their women, and fondly attached to their children. For an account of that portion of British Anaerica under cultivation see Canada, DOMINIOfJ OP. BRITISH COLUMBIA, formerly NEW CALE'-ONIA, a province of the Dominion of Canada, bounded on the N. bjr the 60th parallel of latitude ; E. by the ma n chain of the Rocky Moun- tains ; S. by the United States ; and W. by Alaska, the Pacific Ocean and Queen Charlotte's Sound. Length 764$ miles ; breadth about 400 miles. Area 330,000 square miles. The coast line is deeply indented. The northern part of the colony is diversified with mountain, lake and river ; is of extraordinary fer- tility, producing all Canadian cereals and vegetables, and fruits in larger measure than any partof even Ontario, and with a mining region (Omineca) at the head waters of the PeacQ, Skeena, and Fraser rivers, which, thoug:h very imperfectly explored, (owing to their inaccessibility to general travel) gives indications of being very rich in gold and silver. The southern and middle part includes the rich gold valley of Fraser river, and is well adapted for pasturage, and also, with irrigation, for agriculture ; some parts, however, Buch as the Chilcotin plains, and the great and beautiful vallev of the Okan- agon, require no artificial irrigation, nor does ,any part of the seaboard. Throughout the whole extent of the {>rovince there is an abundance of forest and, the timber on which is of the most valuable description. One kind especially, the Douglas pine, yields spars from 90 to 100 feet in length, and from 20 to 24 inches in diameter. The tree is yery often often from 150 to 300 feet in lengthy without knots or branch- es, and the diameter varies from six to ten feet, and in quality is about twice as strong as Canadian red pitM, and being more gummy, is more durable and takes a better hold. At Burrard Inlet, 9 miles from New Westminster, there are pine trees 27 to 30 feet in diameter. The yearly exports of timber amount to about !!p250,000, but the vast forests have hardly been touched. Tlie mineral resources of British Columbia are very great. Gold is found all along theFraser and Tliomp- son rivers, and in great abundance m the Cariboo district, the yield in that one locality exceeding, in 1870, ono million dollars, while the yield of the , entire province for the past ten years has exceeded twenty-two millioa dol- lars. Silver and copper are also to be had in abuiTdance, but the mines have not as yet been very largely worked. The true wealth of the province, Row- ever, is its coal fields, which aro inex- haustible, easy of access and easily worked. Bituminous coal is fo'in(\oa the mainland and on Vancouver Island ; and anthracite coal on Queen Charlotte Island. The latter has been sold in San Francisco for $20 per ton^ The fisheries, which will some day prtwa a source of national wealth, are amongst the most valuable known, t The climate of British Columbia is mild and favor*- able enough to allow animals to live in the open air throughout the winter, and in many parts the plains and hills are covered with a herb called bunch grass, which possesses highly nutritious qualities and keeps cattle in excellent condition during the whole winter. Winter lasts from November t'U March ; but snow seldom remains long on the ground. The prevailing winds are from the N. in summer, and from the S. and W. in winter. The area of the land fifr for agricultu- ral settlement is estimated at 250,000 square miles, diversified by hill and dale, and watered by numerous streams and lakes. The soil varies from a deep black vegetable loam to a light brown, loamy earth ; the hills supplying slate and building stone. Wheat, barley, potatoes, turnips, anples, pears, &c., grow luxariantly. The country is rich in fur-bearing / 1 f BBI animals, of which the principal are the black, brown and grizzly bears. lynx, niurteu and beaver. The annual Eroduct of iho fur trade amounts to otween §200,000 and !iS2J0,000. Shipbuilding is a branch of trade vhich promises to assume large proportions. Sianufactures are yet in their infancy. Chief among the rivers of the coun- try is the great Fraser river, which pursues a rapid course between steep and rocky banks, until, approaching the sea, it presents a fertile and finely wooded ■^alley from 50 to 60 miles in length. The total length of the Fraser river is about 700 miles. The Thompson river surpasses the Fraser in the richness of its scenery, and flows through one of the most bcmutiful countries in the world. The Columbia is anotlier noble stream. It enters the United States at Fort Shepherd, after a course of nearly 800 miles in feritish territory. Total length about 1,200 miles. The means of communication with the intericfr of British Columbia are very good. Steamers ascend the Fraser river over 100 miles, to the head of navigation, and for over 450 milw be- yond this tliere is an excellent gravelled road, constructed by the government at great expense. Burrard Inlet is the largest and finest harbor on the main- land, and fs spoken of as a probable terminus for the Pacific railway. Ikitish Columbia consists of two per- fectly distinct parts, the mainland above described and Vancouver Island. This island is the largest in the Pacific, being 278 miles long, and 40 to 50 wide. It is separated from the mainland by the Straits of Fuca, which are about 16 miles in width, and by the Gulf of Georgia, which varies from 30 miles in width to a narrowness that is bridgeable, viz : at Valde's Island. The surface is marked by mountain ranges and extensive plains. The soil is productive. The island is noted for its coal mines. Gold has also been found. The harbors are numerous and excellent, and Ea tfic quimalt Harbor, which is the Naval station, is also referred to as not un- Kkely to prove the terminus of the Canada Pacific railway. The public affairs of British Colum- bia are administered by a Lieutenant 46 BRI Governor, an Executive Council of five member.^, and a Legislative As- sembly composed of 25 representatives elected every four years. Justice is dispensed by a Chief justice and two assistants. Education is free to all ; the sahools arc non-sectarian. Victoria, Vancouver Island, is the capital of the province, and the scat of the see of the Lord Bishop of British Columbia. It is situated on a narrow inlet, w^hich, completely landlocked, gives accommodation to all vessels whoscdraughtof water does not exceed 18 feet. It is rapidly rising into a largo city. The number of arrivals in 1872 was 292 (tons 131,096,) and the clearances 285 (tons 129,864.) Total value of imports $1,790,352; exports $1,712,107. Mails from Canada to British Colum- bia and vice versa are conveyed between San Francisco and Victoria by the steamer Prince Aifred, an iron steam- ship of 900 tons The service is per- formed twice a month. Some mails are also conveyed by land to Portland or Olympia and tlience reach Victoria by another steamer. The Vancouver Island postal service is performed from Victoria by the steamer Sir James DouglaSy which conveys the mails along the eastern coastasfarasComox, 130 miles from Victoria, stopping at Cowichan, Maple Bay, Chemainus, iVan- aimo and Comox. Cowichan is a flour- ishing pi ace. It possesses good schools, the only, stone church in the Pro- vince, and a convent at which the Nuns (who are Canadians) teach trades to Indian and half-breed girls. Nanaimo is also a flourishing town, with bright Erospccts for the future. There are ardly any settlements on the western coast, and there is in consequence no postal service. The service to Comox IS efficient and regular, and is performed with every possible regard to economy. The mails for the mainland arc des- f latched from Victoria. Some, of but ittle importance, are conveyed by the Sir James Douglas, as far as Nanaimo, where the steamer Oitcry belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company, receives the mails for the River Skeena. The other mails, which are by far the most important, are conveyed from Victoria to New Westmiuster, thcnco to Yale, BRI 47 BRI and from Yalo to Barkcrville. The ser- vice from Victoria to New WestmiDstcr i3 performod by the steamer Enterprise, belonging to the Hudson'a Bay Com- pany. From New Westminster to Yale, on the Fraser, the mails are conveyed, ii summer, by the steamer Lillouet. From Yale to Barkerville, the service is performed by means of stages drawn by four or six horses. Upon the Cariboo route, between Soda Creek and the month of the Qucsnel, the Fraser is navigable, and the Victoria makei the trip promptly and safely, and affords to travellers every comfort that can bo desired. A steamboat has recently been placed on Lake Tatla, to provide miners with facilities for reaching the mines of the District of Ominica more speedily, more safely, and with less fatigue. Telegraph lines extend from Swin- omish, la Washiugton Territory, (United States) to Harkerville, at the extremity of the Cariboo road. There is, besides, a branch line from Matsqui to Burrard Inlet via New Westminster, in addition to a right of way over the line belonging to the Western Union Telegraph Company, from Swinomish to Victoria, which comprises two sub- marine cables. This line of telegraph, which by the act completing the union of Columbia with Canada, oecame the property of the Dominion, is 569 miles long, in addition to the submarine por- tion which is a mile and a quarter in length. The following is a list of the telegraph stations and tarifif for 10 words from Victoria ; Schome 80 60 Matsqui 60 N.

New Westminster, Cariboo, Yale, Victoria, and Vancouver, each of which, except Victoria, returns 1 member to the House of Commons ; Victoria returns 2 members. It is fur- tlier subdivided into 12 electoral dis- tricts for Provincial purposes. British Columbia occupies a com- manding position not only with regard to the trade of the western part of America and the Pacific Islands, but also with respect to China, Japan, and other Asiatic countries, and the Aus- tralian colonies. Along the whole coast line of at least 10,000 miles, ^fol- lowing indents,) a perfect labyrintli of islands exists, giving innumerable har- bors, inlets and channels, tccminrr, as well as the rivers that empty into thetn, with salmon, sturgeon, mackerel, cod, herring, halibut, oulachans and wliajcs. Except the whale fishery, these vast fislieries are altogether undeveloped. Tliis colony was first established in lRr)8, and has since made remarkable progress. The total population last year was 10,586, exclusive of Indians. This total comprised 8,57G whites, 462 negroes and 1,548 Chinese. The num- ber of Indians is large, supposed to be about 50,000. Some tribes have gathered together in villages, and considerable progress has been made in the education of their cliildren. The construction of the Canada Pacific railway cannot fail to develope the untold resources of this jTOvincc, and add greatly to the wealth and general prosperity of the Dominion. The dis- tance from Montreal to Victoria is 3,000 miles, which can now be accom- plished in 11 or 12 days, by the San Francisco route; but by the future Canada Pacific railway, the distance will be reduced to 2,800 miles.

Q., (son of the late Chief Irader John McLcod. sen., of the Hudson's Bay Company, ana author of "Peace River," &c.,) for the following information, as to the fertility of Northern British Columbia : " At Fort St. James, about lat 54° 30' N., 2,000 feet above the sea, the first barley (five quarts) sown produced five bushels, say about 84 bushels per acre. This was about 50 miles west of McLeod's Fort, wliich last is the highest Post on the Rocky Mountains. " At Fort Fraser, still further west, on the slope of the Cascade, the first potatoes planted, about a bushel, pro- duced forty-fold." Mr. McLeod estimates the total area of British Columbia at 350,000 square miles, and the wheat area at 150,000 square miles, or 96,000,000 acres, being all south of lat. 55^ N., (although there are fine wheat valleys far beyond, N.) / f 1 n 7 BRO 48 islnnda included. The grass, barley and vegetable area north of tbe above —that is, from lat. 55° to GO^ N., (northern boundary line of British Columbia) and from Ion. 120° W. to American buundary, 141° W., Mr. McLeod eali mates at 100,000 gquiirc miles, or, 04,000,000 acres. A consider- able portion, say one-sixth, of ihese areas, is covered with laltcs, numerous an^, like all tlic rivers, abounding with wbolesnme fish— fish, in fact, is the native staple food. Mr. McLeod further estimates the coast line of British Columbia at 10,000 miles, a predicate on that of Norway ; the latter, on actual measurement, having been found to have in its indent- ed line tiiirtecn times the length of its coast in a straight line. In point of fact, the British Columbia coast is much more, and more deeply indented than that of Norway, some of the inlets run- ning in upwards of fifty miles. The inlets are f^ull of ralmon and other fish. BRITISH HARBOR, a fishing set- tlement on the north shore of Tj-inity Bay, Nfld., 20 miles from Hearta Con- tent. Pop. IGO.

CANADA, THE DOMINION OF, a Federal Union of Provinces and Terri- tories, comprising all the British pos- sessions in North America, except tbe Island of Newfoundland. It is bounded E. by the Atlantic Ocean, Davis's Strait, and Baffin's Bay ; W. by Alaska, the Pacific Ocean and Queen Charlotte's Sound : N. by the Arctic Ocean : and S., S.E., and S.W. by the United States. Area 3,330,162 square miles, — 393,996 square miles larger than the United States. Of this immense area, nearly equalling in extent the continent of Europe, about 700,000 square miles are covered with water. Face of the country. — It is but natu- ral to suppose that in such a vast extent of country there is every variety of sur- face — mountain, plateau and valley. Beginning at the Atlantic frontier of Nova Scotia a range of highlands skirts the seaboard and extends inland for 15 or 20 miles. This dislocated range of metaraorphic hills nowhere assumes the height of mountains. Sixty n)ilP3 in- land from this seaboard, and nearly parallel thereto, tlie Cobcquid Moun- tains, some e*" which are l,lui feet high, traverse Nova Scotia, from the Buy of Fiimly to the Strait of Canso. 'I'liis range is clothed with a large growth of timber, to its summit, wliere agricul- tural products grow luxuriantly. Be- tv/een the Atlantic and C/obequid ranges is a wide and fertile valley, cm- bracing the entire length of Nova Sco- tia proper. Tiie third mountainous range, of moderate elevation?, traverses tbe boundary between Quebec and New I CAN Brunswick, from the State of Maine to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Between this range and the Cobequid Mountains, with which it runs parallel, is an ex- tensive plateau of fertile lands embrac- injj nearly the whole of New Bruns- wick and a large part of Nova Scotia. The coast of Labrador is monntninous. The mountain formations of th« coun- try lying between the Gulf of St. Law- renct' and the Rocky Moui tains assume a different direction from the lower mountain ranges above referred to. The country presents a terraced cliarac- ter; tlie navigation of the priiici; al Streams is obstructed by nura'rous falls and rapids, the result of convul- sions of no ordinary nature. The principal part of the mountainous dis- tricts runs in the direction of the great rivers and lakes lying between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Rocky Mountains. On eitiier side of the valley of the estuary of the St. Lawrence is a range of mountamous country. Tiiat on the north is called the Laurentides. It terminates easterly at the coast of Labrador and extends up the N side of the Ottawa for 100 miles, tlen sweeps round to the Thou- sand Islands near Kingston, then gains the southern extremity of Georgian Baj, continues along the eastern and northern shores of Lake Hi.ron and Lake Superior, and ultimately readies the Arctic Ocean; its whole course is about 3,500 miles. This cliain varies from hills of 200 feet to that of mo in- tains, culminating near Lake Sui)ericr to a height of 2,100 feet. It gives the water shed separating the tributaries of the St. Lawrence from those of II nd- Bon's Bay ; but beyond the basin of the St. Lawrence it is traverseii by two affluents of this bay, the Saskatcliewan and the Churchill, the former taking its source in the Rocky Mountairui ; while, still farther on, the range be- comes the limit of Hudson's Bay rivers, dividincr their sources and those of the Buck river and other streamsj fur 800 miles, from the Mackenzie river. In the valleys and lower parts of the Lau- rentian region there are considerable areas of good land, having a deep, rich soil, and bearing heavy timber. In the higlier parts the rigor of the cli.nate scarcely permits the cultivation of the cereals. Tlie southern range (culled CAN Notre Dame Mountains) is a spur of the Alleghaiiies, which, commencing at the Gulf of St. Lawrence, forms a pro- longed chain of mountains through the Stales as fir an Virginia. In its course through Canada it runs nearly parallel to the River St. Lawrence at, fjom 20 to 50 miles distance j and passes south of Laki3 Champluin- Its greatest eleva- tion on the Canadian side (the Shick- shock Mountains on the Gaspe penin- sula,) 13 about 4,000 feet. The Blue Mountains on the S. side of Georgian Bay attain a height of l,9iiO feet above the level of Lalvo Huron. Tlie country lying between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains is inteisected by nuuierous chains of mountains, witii extensive valleys of fertile lauds inter- vening. The Rocky Mountain.^, the dominant ridge of the continent, stretch from Alaska to California. Some peaks on Ciinadian territory attain a height of 15,000 feet. Between these mountains and the Pacific coast, are the Selkirk Mountains, the Gold Range, the great central hilly plateau or table land, and the Coast or Cascade Range. All these mountain chains a.s well as the central plateau have a general N.W. and S.E. course. The Cascade Range is the northward extension of the Sierra Nevada ; the central plateau bears a similar relation to the great vol- canic arid and hilly table laud of the State of Nevada; and the Selkirk and Gold Ranges may be parallelled with the Bitter Root Mountains between Mon- tana and Idaho. Tlie highest points of the Cascade Mountains do not ex- ceed 7,000 feet. The central plateau has an average elevation of from 1,000 to 3,000 feet. The Selkirk Mountains, towards the north, m the vicinity of Cariboo aud about the so'irces of the North Thompson, have a somewhat greater average elevation than the Cascades. The highest known summits of the Rocky Mountains are Mount Miirchison, Mount Hooper and Mount Brown, estimated at from 12,000 to 15,000 feet. They have never been ascended. Of the principal part of the territory lying around Hudson's Bay little is* yet known. Minerals. — The Dominion of Canada contains within its limits almost every variety of mineral wealth. The gold deposits of British Columbia and Nova CAN 57 CAN Scotia are among the richest existing on the globo. Ttio gold area of Nova Scotia '9 known to spread over an ex- tent of at least 6,000 square miles. The lodes are regular m structure and pre- serve their richne-is to depths of 200 and 300 Aet. The guM extracted from quartz rock isrcmarkiibly fine and pure. In Britisli Columbia the precious meUil is not contincd to any one section. It is f)und all along the Fraser and Thompson rivers, again in the north along the Peace and Ommeca rivers, and on G'Tmansen Creek and on Van- couver Island. From the United States frontier to the 53rd degree of latitude, and for a width of from 1 to 200 miles, gold is found nearly everywhere. Pro- fitable goltl mines are worked in the county of Beauce, Quebec. Gold is also found in the county of Hastings, Ontario; on the banks of the Shikte- hawk, a tributary of the River St. John, (New Brunswick) j on the Athabasca, McLeod and Pembina rivers, which flow into the Arctic oceau ; and on the North Saskatchewan, Red Deer and Bow rivers, flowing into the Lake Winnipeg. The Blackfeet Indians have been so hostile to miners in the Saskatchewan country that it was only m the neighborhood of the Hudson's Bay Company's forts that continued washing for gold could be carried on Jn the neighborhood of Fort Eilmunlon from $3 to $12 worth of gold has frequently been washed in a day by one man. Miners who have visited the gold fields of the North West Territories proclaim them to be enormously rich. E.vtraordinary depo- sits of silver ore are found in several islands on the N. shore of Lake Supe- rior ; also iu numerous veins of argenti- ferous galena scattered over that portion of Quebec to the south of the St. Law- rence. Silver is also found in Nova Scotia, and in the Fraser valley in British Columbia. Copper is abundant in every portion of the Dominion — in British Columbia, the North West Ter- ritories, Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia. The copper mines of Ontario are very valuable. On the shores of Lake Huron and Superior copper is found in large quantities. In the province of Quebec extensive and exceedingly productive mining operations are carried on iu the Eastern Townships, at the Harvey, Hartford, Huntington, Oapel and Ives mines. The Copper Mountains of the North West Territories are extraordina- rily rich, but difficult of access. Lead occurs in many places in the Lauren- tian range. A mine in rear of Kingston, Out., has exposed a deposit of remark- able richness and extent. Lead is also found on the N. shore of Lake Superior, often rich in silver, on the shore of Gaspe, in the E^astern Town- ships, and in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Veins of lead traverse the rocks of Coronation Gulf. Iron occurs in prodigious quantities in the Lauren- tian range. At Hull, near Ottawa, there is abed about 90 feet in thickness containing not less than 250,000.000 tons of iron; ontheRideau canal tnere is a bed 200 feet thick containing double the above amount; and at Marmora there are five beds which are computed to contain an aggregate of 1,000,000,000 tons. These extraor- dinary deposits are of the magnetic species, yielding 60 to 70 per cent, of pure iron, and occur in the same geological formation from which the celebrated Swedish iron is made. Extensive beds of good iron occur in the Eastern Townships, also in the neighborhood of Lake Nipissing ; and at various localities along the N. shore of the St. Lawrence considerable quan- tities of bog iron ore are found. Near Three Rivers, cast and wrought iron of a very superior quality has been pro- duced from this ore for ujiwards of a century. At the mouth of the Moisic river, about 300 miles be- low Quebec, there is a vast deposit of magnetite, estimated to contain about 20,000,000 tons of iron. It lies on the Surface in the sha])e of black sand, per- fectly free from sulphur or iihosphorous, and the iron manufactured is of superior quality and peculiarly suited to the manufacture of the finest steel, edge tools, &c. Iron is also found m Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and in the Saskatchewan valley. In the former province it is melted and manufactured on a large scale on the Cobcquid Mountains. Chromic iron, a mineral which is highly prized for the man- ufacture of the chroraates of potash and lead, and for the ])roduction of many beautiful red, yellow, and green / CAN colors, is found in considerable quanti- ties ia the Eaatern Townsbina of Que- bec, and in the tihickshock Mountaias. Iron ochrea are diatributed in many parts of Ciinada, and chiefly in associa- tion with tlie bog iron ores. Some of these beds have been partially worked and supply an excellent material, of a great variety of shades of color. The iron ociirea of Canada are equal to those of France. Nickel and Cobalt arc found in several localities in Can- ada, but chieflv on the N. shore of Lake Huron ana Lake Superior. Plum- bago or graphite occurs in workable quantities near Ottawa, in rear of Kingston, and near St. John, N B. Sul- phate of barytes, soapstone, lithogra- phic stone, tin, zinc, bismuth, antimony, magnesia, and manganese are found in several parts of the Dominion. Mica is found iu great abundance and of extreme purity in Grenvill*, on the Ottawa river, and in the township of North Burgess, near the Rideau canal. There are verv large deposits of phos- phate of lime behind Brockville and at other places in Ontario. Large quan- tities of iron pyrites are found near these deposits. The conditions are therefore favorable for the manufac- ture of sulphuric acid, and for convert- ing the phosphate of lime into super- phosphate for manure. Beautiful ser- {)entiue and verd antique marbles are ound in diiforent parts of Quebec, and in Cape Breton there is a marble mountain which contains some of the finest siiccimens of white and colored marble. Springs of petroleum or mii.eral oil occur in several locali- ties in the S.W. part of Ontario, and from the numerous wells already sunk millions of gallons have been taken. Tlie oil beariug rock (Lower Devonian limestone,) extends over a large portion of the western peninsula ; and though one part after another may be exhausted and abandoned, and the exhaustion of the whole region is but a matter of time, it will probably be long bef«)re oil boring has travelled over the whole productive district. On tne Gaspe peninsula natural springs yield- ing small amounts of petroleum are found over a considerable area. The oil in this region occurs in the upper Bilurian rocks. There are no less than 60,000 acres of peat lands in Quebec, 58 CAN not including the great bed in the Island of Anticosti, which contains aa many more, and at least 30,000 acres in Ontario. In many of the bogs the peat attains a depth of 10 and 20 feet, and even more. It is compressed and used for various purposes, with success, instead of coal. Of the other minerals coal is the most important. It is found in Nova Scotia, in New Brunswick, in British Columbia, and in the North West Territories. The coal fields of Nova Scotia are of vast extent and value, and have been worked more or less since the first settlement of the colony by the British. The most im- portant mines are atPictou and Sydney, C.B. They contain a sufficient quan- tity to supply the whole steam navy of Great Britain for many centuries to come, and also to meet amply the de- mands of the other North American Colonies bordering on the Atlantic. The coal mines of British Columbia are even more valuable than the gold. Bitu- minous coal is found on Vancouver Island in several places, especially along the East coast. The coal is of fair quality, superior to the Scotch, but not eoual to the Welsh. Veins of coal have been found in other parts of the Province. Anthracite coal, very ex- cellent in quality, is found on Queen Charlotte's Island. The coal fields of New Brunswick cover an area of about 10,000 square miles. The Albert coal is one of the most beautiful of all car- bonilerous products; it is jet black, brilliant and lustrous, with a conchoi- dal fracture, and is extremely brittle. It is ciiiefly used in the manufacture of illuminating oils (if which it yields, by distillation, a large per centage, a id of the very best quality.) and gas. The coal mined at Grand Like is of an excellent quality, being hard, rather lustrous, giving out much heat in burn- ing, and lasting longer than most other coal. The great coal bed of the North West Territories commences 150 miles East of the Rocky Mountains. It is 300 miles in width, and extends over 16 degrees of latitude, to the Arctic Ocean. There are no coal mines in Ontario or Quebec. Salt springs, strongly saturat- ed, are numerous in New Brunswick, and salt wells of great richness are worked in the counties of Ontario bor- dering on Lake Huron. Agates, jaspers, CAN 59 CAN diamonds, rubies, pearls, feldspar, amethysts, carnelians, chalcedonies, caungorras, porphyries, &c., are found in several parts of the Dominion. Gulfs, Bat/n, Rivers, Lakes, ^e. — The coasts of the Dominion have numerous indentations, the most remarkable of which are Hudson's Bay — one of the most extensive inland seas on the fi^lobo —the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the Gulf of Georgia. The hydrog:raj)hical basin of the St. Lawrence and its es- tuary coraprfccs an area of about 530,- 000 square miles. In form it presents an irregular parallelogram running nearly S.W. for about 900 miles, with a pretty uniform breadth of 250 miles ; the southern side in its farther progress sweeping round in a wide semi-circle, the diameter of which extends about 900 miles to the N.W. The Great Lakes into which the river expands — Superior, Huron, Michigan^ St. Clair, Erie an I Ontario,— with its estuary, havenu urea of about 130,000 square miles, loaviiig for the lands drained by the rivur an area of 400,000 square miles. At loast 330,000 square miles of ihesf^ boloig to Canada, the remain- der coustitult'S a part of the United States. With the exception of about 60,000 square miles (including the whole of the Gaspo peninsula) in the eastern part of Quebec, the Canadian portion lies wholly on the N. side of the river, while the only part of the United States which does so is situated at the west end of Lake Superior. The Erincipal rivers flowing into the St. awrence are the Ottawa, 800 miles long, with many large tributaries ; the St. Maurice, 400 miles long ; the Balis- can, the Clmuiiidre, the Richelieu, the St. Francis, the Hamilton, the Moisic, the Romaiue, the Ste. Anne, and the mighty Saguenay. The otlier chief rivers in the Dominion are the Saskat- chewan, which rises in the Rocky Moun- tains, traverses 15^ of longitude, or a distance of at least 900 miles, and falls into the Great Lake Winnipeg in lat. 55' N. This lake is connected with Hudson's Bay by the Nelson river, about 500 Athabasca, miles in situated length. Lake about lat. 59' N.. aud Ion. llij' W., receives, among otiiers, the Peace River and tue Atha- basca, a largo stream rising in the Rocky iMouuiains near the source of the Columbia. The Fraser river, the golden stream of British Columbia, rises in the Rockv Mountains and en- ters the PaciKc after a course of about 700 miles. The Columbia, 1200 miles long, also rises in the Rocky Mountains. The Mackenzie, entering the Arctic Ocean, is one of the largest rivers on the globe. East of it, and also flowing into the Arctic, are the Coppermine and Fish rivers. The Gatineau, the Keepa- wa, the Matawan, the Mista-^sini, the Churchill, the Dumoinc, the Miraniichi, the Restigouclie, the St, John, the Avon, the Clyde, the Grand, the Trent and the Nipigon are all important rivers, and the (Jreat Bear, Great Slave, Manitoba, Lake of the WoodSj Mistas- sini, St. John, Nipigon and Nipissing are all magnificent lakes, but tliej' are so fully described among the rivers and laKes that it is nn necessary to repeat them here. The rivers and lakes of the Dominion number several thousands. Of these descriptions of over 1500, which include all the most important, are given in another part of this work. CltTnate.— The climate of Canada Is nearly the same as that of Norway, Sweden, St. Petersburg, and the S. of Iceland. Both the heat of summer and the cold of winter are much greater than in the corresponding latitudes of Europe. The climate of Nova Scotia is extremely temperate, considering its northern latitude. In Hulifiix and the eastern counties the mercury seldom rises in summer above 8G° in the shade, and in winter it is not often down to zero. In the interior the winter is about the same, but the sum- mer is considerably warmer. The climate of New Brunswick is subject to great extremes of heat and cold : the thermometer sometimes rising to 100' during the day and falling in the forest during the night of the same day to 50'. Still the climate is ex- ceedingly healthy and favorable for agricultural operations. The climate of Prince Edward Lsland is much indd- er than that of Nova Sc(4;a or New Brunswick, and is remarkably salubri- ous.

Telegraphs. — There were six telegraph companies in the Dominion in 1873— the Montreal, the Dominion, the New York, Newfoundland and London, the New Brunswick, the Nova Scotia, and the Fredericton and St. John. The lines of the three latter are leased and worked by the Western Union Tele- graph Company. The Montreal is the lending telegraph company in the Do- minion. It was incorporated in 1847, three years after the first line was opened in the United States, and has now 19,000 miles of line, and 1050 oflBces, including branches. It connects with all parts of the United States and Mari- time Provinces, and with cables to Cuba and Europe, and transmits messages to any of its stations at 25 cents for 10 words, or 15 cents between places not more than 12 miles apart. The Do- minion Company extends from the city of Quebec to Sarnia, and the New York, Newfoundland and London com- pany connects with the Atlantic cable at Heart's Content. CAN 63 CAN- Postal Service.— CanaHa. cnjors the great lulvnntftge of cheap postage nnd ao excellent system of postiil coramu- nicati.)!!. In 1851, the first great step towards cheap postage was taken by the introduction of a uniform postage I rate of five cents. But it was not until 18mS that the nearest approach to the British penny post that can bo expected was made by the establishment of a uniform rate of three cents. The result has been highly satisfactory and en- couraging In 'Dr. Hodpins' «'Sdiool History of Canada," (published bv Mr. John Lovell, in 1866,) it is stated that "in 17(JG, when the celebrated Benja- min Fi-anklin was Denuty Postmaster General of British North America, there were only three post offices in Canada, and 1^0 miles of post route, from Mon- treal to Quebec. In 1791 there were ten post offices and 600 miles cf post route; in 1830 there were 150 post offices and 2,500 miles of post route ; i". 1840 the number of offices had been i.icr^nsed to 405, and miles of post route to 5,737." Since the vear 1840 the progressional grpwth of the depart- ment has continued" until, by the report of the Postmaster General for 1872, we find that there were in that year 4,155 post offices, and 33,415 inilcs of post route, including British Columbia and Manitoba, The estimat- ed number of letters by post in the year 1372 Wits 30,000,000; gross postal re- venue, $1,1 9^i)0G'i ; postal expenditure, §1,3GU,1»J3. Pn(eiHs.—X new Patent Act was passed by the Duminioa Parliament in 1872, which opened to all inventors, whether foreigners or residents of Caxada, the privilege of taking out patents in Canada, on condition that the articles patented shall be manufac- tured in Canada. The opening of the Canadian Patent Office to foreigners has already led to many applications for patents by them ; and it is believed that the result will prove to be highly advantageous to the public, and par- ticularly to the manufacturing inter- ests of the Dominion. The Act permits the patent to be issued for periods of five, ten or fifteen years at the option of the inventor. About 7 per cent, of the patents issued are for ten years ; about 10 per cent, for fifteen years ; and 83 percent, for five years.

The great variety and superior quality of the fish rtre aa remarkable as tlie multitudes in whicb they are found, and supply a wtalth that makes full amends for any rigor of climate or defects of soil on any of the coasts in their vicinity. As res- pects salmon there is a fishing line on the N. shore of the St. Lawrence of over a thousand miles in length, into which very numerous tributaries How. On the S. shore, taking in the coasts of the Maritime Provinces, it is of greater length. In British Columbia salmon are very abundant and of ex- celleut quality. The actual value of the produce of the fisheries of the Do- minion for the season of 1872, for purposes of trade, was $9,570,110, being an excess over that of the preceding year of $114,893. About 1,500 decked vessels and 17,000 open boats are en- gaged in t!ie fi-iheries of the Dominion, employing some 42,0(0 men. The esti- mated number or persons supparted almost entirely, by this industry, in the various fi.sliing communities, exceeds 200,000 souls. The collections from Fish- ing Rent.s, License Fees, Fines, &c., for the fiscal yea?- of 1872, amounted to $10,49^ and. the expenditure of the branch was $43,683.

Dominioi of Canada, for the fiscal year endinj? 30th June, 1872. wag $111,430,527; the poods entered for consumptio'i during the same period $107,709,116 ; and the value of «j(ports $82,631),' ;G3, giving a gross •ggregate sum of $191,070,190 as the vahie of the trade of the Dominion with countries outside its boundaries. This increase in the inward and out- Ward trade, as compared with previous years, is observable under all the ▼arious classifications of the Tariff, a certain indication of the commercial pro- gress of Canada. The following figures show the immense increase of the trade of the Dominion since Confederation : Years.

Ths value of Cana- dian exports to Great Britain increased from $J4, 17.3,224 in 1870 71, to $25,037,- 990 in 1871-72 ; and to tlio Driited States from $30,975,043 in 1^^70-71, to $31,890,810 in 1871-72. The ship- f)ing returua exhibit a cou.sde ruble ncrease in the tonnage, both British and Foreign, engaged in the carrying trade with countries outside of the Dominion, both by sea and ui)on itfl inland waters, the total aggregate ton- nage so employed being, for 1809-70, 11,415,870; for 1870-71, 13,126,028: and for 1871-72, 12,54 !,600. exclusive of British Columbia.

The Dominion of Can- ada is, therefore, the fourth mnritane power in the world. Bat, in proportion to population, she owns more ton- nage than any country in the world. i'd«f«/ion— Canada has no national system of education- In Ontario the school system Ls a partial adaptation of the best features of the systems of New York, Massachusetts, Ireland and Ger- many, blended and modified to sr.it the circiunstances of the country, but diflFeritig also in several points of im- portance from ail other school systems. Some of the chief points of difference are : 1. Religious mstniction is provided. 2. The chief executive is a non-poli- tical and permanent officer. 3. It prohibits the use of foreiga books in the English branches of instruction, except by special permission, thus pre- venting heterogenous text books and those inimical to our institutions. 4. It provides for the supply of maps, school apparatus, prize and library books, to all the schools, direct from tie 'If^imrtment, and grants 100 per .1 local appropriations for such ses 5. It provides for the pen- f? of superannuated or worn out i-s. 6. It provides for taking R icording meteorological observa- tions at ten selected county grammar schools, results being published per- iodically. In 1871 the Legislature of Ontario made 'ill common schools in that province t to be supported by Provincial gra and local taxes, and made the ei' on of children com- nulsorv on parents and guardians. The tdurational institutions of Ontario romprise 4,598 public Bchoolfi, 102 grammar schools, 298 private schools and academics, 20 colleges and uni- versities, a college of tecnnology, and a provincial model farm, with a school or college of agriculture. The edu- cational institutions of Quebec are divided into Superior, Secondary, Nor- mal, Special, and rrimary scliools. The first division comprises the univer- sities and schools of theology, law and medicine The second classical cblleges, industrial colleges and acade- mies. Under the head S[)ecial come the deaf and dumb a.syliim8,the agricul- tural collepes, and boards of arts and t jaiiufactiires ; and under the h(>ftd Primary all the elementary and modol school's The Protestant minor- ity were m a very unfavorable position, as far as their educational interests were concerned, until 1868, when a very satisfactory -act was passed grant- ing tiiem separate schools. In 1871 t lere were 4,028 schools of all kinds in the Province of Quebec. Education in Nova Scotia ia not compulsory but it is free to all classes. There is a Provincial Normal school for tho training of teachers, and there are also academies, colleges and com- mon s;:hools. The academies and common schools are under the control of the Government ; tho colleges are sectarian. There are nearly 1,000 public schools in the province having nearly 100,000 pupils in daily attend- ance. In New Brunswick, a new School Act was passed in 1871. By it school trustees of each district are bound to provide school accommodation for all persons therein, between the ages of 5 and 20, free of charge. In addition to the provincial grant, a tax is levied in each county eciual to 30 cents per head, and a local fund sufficient for the purpose of carrying out the law (including a f»oll-tax of $1 per head) is raised by the ocalities. Serious objection has been raised to this act by the Roman Catho- lic population, who desire to use their own taxes for schools under their own management, and not subject to tho government ins|>ection, examination of teachers, regulations respecting text books, &c. The educational institu- tions supported by law are a Proviacial 'II It! ■in CANT University, a Trainin* or Xortnal school for teachers, aad a system of common schools ranging from llie pri- mary to the grammar or bigli scl:ool department. The common schools are non-sectarian and free to all. The schools of Prince Edward I:jland arc free to all. Excellent school systems have been provided for Manitoba and British Columbia. Religious instruction forms part of the common school system ofeacb section of the Dominion.. Religious Denominations. — There is no State Religion in the Dominion of Canada, all denominations being re- garded equally by the Government. The clergy depend for subsistence upon the voluntary contributions of their congregations or upon funds ap- propriated for this purpose. The prin- cipal sects are the Episcopalians, Ro- man Catholics, Presbyterians, Metho- dists, Baptists and Congregationalists. There arc 15 Church of England dio- ceses in Canada, viz*: the Metropolitical diocese of Montreal, and the dioceses of Nova Scotia, Fredericton, Quebec, Ontario, Toronto, Western Toronto, Huron, Algoma, Rupert's Land, British Columbia, and four recently formed in the North West Territories. There are 19 Roman Catholic dioceses, viz : the aichdioceses of Halifax, Quebec, Toronto and St. Boniface^ (Manitoba), and the dioceses of Montreal, Rimouski, Three Rivers, Sherbrooke, St. Hyacinthe, Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton, London, Arichat, St John, (NB,,) Chatham, (NB.,) Charlottetown (P.E.T .)

In certain matters the Canon Law was also in force. Upon the acquisition of the country by Great Britain, the English Constitutional and Criminal Laws were introduced, the English form of wills allowed, and English rules respecting evidence in commercial cases establish- ed. All these laws have from time to time been modified by the Imperial and Canadian Parliaments. The Code Civil de Quebec now supersedes all but the English and Statutory Criminal Law. In 1791, the French Canadian Law was repealed fa Ontario (then Upper Can- ada) and in its place was substituted the laws of England. The common law of England is the law of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island^ and British Columbia. The laws of Manitoba are the same as those of Quebec. The Courts of Justice in Ontario are a Court of Error and Appeal, Court of Queen's Bench, Court of Common Pleaa, Court of Chancery, Court of Impeachment, Court of Quarter Sessions, Practice Court, Heir and Devisee Court, County Courts, Division Courts and Recorders' Courts. Those in Quebec are a Court of Queen's Bench, Superior Court, Cir- cuit Court, Court of Vice Admiralty, Court of Quarter Sessions, Court of Special Sessions, and Recorder's Court. Those in New Brunswick are a Sup- reme Court, Court of Vice Admiralty, Court for the trial and punishment of " Piracy, Probate Court, Court of Mar- riage and Divorce, Inferior Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions of the Peace, and Justice Courts. Those in Nova Scotia are a Supreme Court, Court of Vice Admiralty, Court of Error, Court of Probate, Court of Mar- riage and Divorce, Court of General Sessions of the Peace, and Justice Courts. Those in Prince Edward Island are a Supreme Court of Chancery, Court of Vice Admiralty, Court of Marriage and Divorce, Court of Probate and Wills, and Insolvent Court. In Manitoba there is a Court of Queen's Bench composed of 1 chief and 2 assis- tant justices ; and in British Columbia a Supreme Court with 1 chief and 2 assistant justices. The Supreme Courts and Courts of Queen's Bench are the highest in the Dominion. An appeal lies from their decisions in certain cases to the Privy Council in England. There are in Ontario 3 chief justices, 1 chancellor, 5 puisne judges, 2 vice chan- cellors, and 37 county judges ; ia Quebec, 2 chief justices and 24 puisne judf^^s; in New Brunswick, 1 chief justice, 4 puisne judges, and 5 county judges; in Nova Scotia, 1 chief justice and 6 puisne judges ; and ia Prince Edward Island, 1 chief justice and 3 puisne judges. Salaries. — The Governor General of the Dominion of Canada receives $47,- 517.55 per annum, and is provided with a residence at the capitol also with secretaries, aides-de-camp, clerks and mossengers. The Lieutenant Governors of Ontario and Quebec receive $10,000 per annum, odiI those of Nova Scotia, New P)i-iin-w'('k, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and British Columbia, $8,000 Ber annum. The chief justices of the •ominion receive $5,000 per annum, and the puisne judges $4,000 ; Senators and Commoners, $8 a day or $1000 each session ; members of the Privy Council, $7,000 per annum, except the premier, who receives $8,000 ; Adjutant General of Militia, $3,000 per annum. JRevenue. — The revenue of the Domin- ion is derived from imports on foreign merchandise, excise, public works ^in- cluding railways), post offices and bill stamps. The revenue of the Dominion for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1872, was $20,714,813; the expendi- ture for the same period $17,589,468, leaving a surplus of $3,125,345.

Total assets of the Dominion, $40,213,- 179, net debt, $82,187,072. There were 33 CAN 69 CAN banks in operation in the Dominion on the 31st July, 1873,with a paid up capi- tal of $56,101,959. The amount of notes in circulation was $29,516,046, and discounts, $122,077,754. The deposits of the chartered banks showed an amount of $08,677,737, and the Post OflSce Sivvinjrs banks, $3,410,980.25. There were of Dominion notes in circu- lation on the 31st July, 1873, $11,062,- 988.23. The chartered . banks have agencies and branches iu every impor- tant place in the Dominion. Inditns — The Indians in the Domin- ion of Canada are under the superinteu- dence of the Minister of the Interior, who is the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs, and as such has the control and manasement of the lands and property of Indians. The persons deemed Indians are : 1. All persons of Indian blood, re- puted to belong to tlie particular tribe, band or body of Indians interested in Buch lands or immovable property, and their descendants, 2. All persons resid- ing amonn: such Indians, whose parents were, or are, or either of them was or is, descended on either side from Indians or an Indian reputed to belong to the particular trbe«interested iu such lands, and the d^scondants of all such persons. 3. All women lawfully married to any of the persons includ'^d in the ahove classes, the children, issue of such mar- riages, and their descendants. None but persons deemed Indians are permit- ted to settle on Indian lands. From the statement of population contained in the last oflicial report (1872) it ap- pears that the Indian tribes of Ontario number 12,886; of Quebec, 8,657; of Nova Scotia, 1,835 ; of New Brunswick, 1.324 ; of BritishColnnibia,28,520 : and of the North West Territories, 50,000. The most populous tribes in Ontario are the Six Nation Indian', who, in 1870, were estimated at 2,80S; the Chipnewas of Lake Huron, estimated at 1,846; the Cbippewas of Lake Superior, estim- ated at 1,502; a».d the Mnnitoulin Island Indians estimTted at 1,604. The Iroquois, or Six Nation Indians of Ontario, are chiefly descendants of the Iroquois who adhered to the royal cause duriupr the American Revo- lution, and who settled in Upper Can- ada when the American colonies establi-slied their independence. Th'^y obtained a large grant of land on the Grand River. In the province of Qno- bee, the largest bodies are the Nasqiia- pees of the Lower St. Lawrence, num- bering 2j860, and the Iroquois of SauUt St. Louis, numbering 1,650. In New Brunswick, at Indian Villacre, Indian Point, opposite Fredericton, is located a body numbering about 300. There are also about 400 in Northumberland and 265 in Kent. In Nova Scotia, there are a few in every county. The aboriginal in- habitants of the coimtry lying between Red River and the Rocky Mountains are divided into two great classes, the Prairie Indians and Thickwood Indians — the first comprising the Black- feet with their kindred tribes of Bloo^, Lurcees, and Peagins ; as also the Creea of the Saskatcliewan and the Assini- boines of the Qu'AppcUe ; and the last composed of the Rocky Mountain Stonics, the Swampy Crees, and the Saultenux of the country lying between Jlanitoba and Fort EUice. The Prairie Indians live on buffalo, and in large camp ', and are warlike ; the Thickwood Ij.dians live on deer, &c., in small par- lies, a id are peaceable. The Blackfcct occupy the immense tract of country bctwei n the Saskatchewan and tire fiontipr, a large portion of which is arid ^and sandy, being a true extension of the great American desert, which extends from the fertile belt of the Saskatchc- wai to the bordois of Texas. It thus happens that the most active trading relations of'tho Blackfcct are more easily carried on wilb the Americans on the Upper Missouri, and the product :if their r :be3, &c., generally finds its way dov/a the waters of the Alissouri. In British Columbia Indians are found over the whole proviiyc. They are generally quiet, peaceable, and very intelligent, ivith great nauiralpowerof observation. A largo number of them are instructed by Anglican and Roman Catliolic missionaries. Thero are about fifty schools for Indian children establi-hed in tlie Domitii n, principally in the Provinces of Ontario and* Quebec. Some of the teacliors are paid out of 'lie Indian fund ; others are cupporteil by various societies. The number of pnpilj is about two thousanoasible. In the successive elections which had been held during the preceding years it was foaid that the hostile majority from eitl-cr Province in the Legislature had increased rather than diminished. In 1864 the feeling of antagonism came to a crisis, but as the sequel will show it was only the thick darkness which preceded the dawning of a brighter day, for out of this crisis grew the Dominion of Canada. As a remedy for the existing difficulties the Reform lenders made overtures to Sir John A. Macdonald suggesting the adoption of a federative system. These overtures were cordially received and a Coali- tion Goverment was formed pledged to the introduction of such a scheme. By a fortunate coincidence, within a month aft«r the formation of the ministry a Conference was being arranged at Charlottetown for the purpose of discussing the expediency of a union of the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Sdward Island under one government one and legislature. The Canadian Government asked permission to send delegates their request was granted, and on tlie 18tb of September, 1864, they met the Maritime delegates. The Conference had met to discuss a Legis- lative Union, — a question with which the Canadian delegates had no autho- rity to deal. The proposal to unite the Maritime Provinces was looked upon as impracticable ; but the delegates were unanimously of opinion that a union on a larger basis might be effected. The Canadian delegates proposed a further Conference to consider the possibility of a Federal Union, which was agreed to, and the Conference adjourned to meet again at Quebec on the 10th of October. On the day appointed it met, and after a session of 18 days the scheme of Confederation was placed before the public. This scheme was, after a time, accepted by the Legisla- tures of Nova Scotia, Now Brunswick and Canada, but not by Newfoundland or Prince Edward Island. Delegates were then sent to England, the Union Act was submitted to the Imperial Parliament, passed that body on the 28th of March, 1867, and on the 22nd day of May Her Majesty's proclamation was issueu declaring that the Domini ion of Canada should come into existence oa the 1st of July, 1867. By this Act "old" Canada was divided into the two Provinces of Ontario and Queboc. In 1870 the Government or the Dominion was extended over the North West Territories, (out of which the Province of Manitoba was erected,) in 1871 over British Columbia, and in 1873 over Prince Edward Island. The Island of Newfoundland is still out in the cold, but only for a short time. Its destiny is inevitable : it must form part of the Dominion of Canada, " the bright- est jewel in the British crown."

CAPE BRETON, an island at the eastern extremity of Nova Scotia, mostly between lat. 45° and 47' 5' N., and Ion. C0° and Gl° 30' W. Extreme length from north to south 100 miles ; extreme breadth 85 miles ; area 3,120 square miles. The first settlement in this island (which was united under the sjime government with Nova Scotia in 1819) was made in 1712 by the French. It had been discovered by Cabot in 1497. Previous to the year 1700 it had been frequented only by fur traders and fishermen. After the loss of Acadia the French turned their attention to this isla id, and began to build fortifications at Louisburg, which continued to be the capital for many years, tbe government being modelled on that of Quebec. War having again been declared between France and England, Governor Shirley, of Massa- chusetts, formed the design of taking Louisburg, though the place was sup- ^os?'1 to be almost impregnable. The expedition sailed from Boston, and arrived at Canso on the 5th April, 1745. The reinforcements despatched by the French were captured by the English Admiral, and Loui-burg was .finally forced to capitulate. The Acadians in great alarm sent to France for help and an expedition wns got up to recon- quer Acadia and Cape Breton. But the hostile fleet met wilh terrible dis- asters. Wrecked and dispersed by vio- lent storms, and the crews thinned by epidemic, tlie expedition accomplished nothing, and only a remnant rettirned to France. By the treaty of Aix-la- Cbapelle in 1748, Cape Breton was restored to France, but it was soon after finally attached to the British posses- uions. The island is very irregularly shaped, being triangular, and is greatly indented with bays. An inlet, called Bra» (VOr (i.e., arm of gold,) entering Cape Breton on the east nearly sepa- rates it into two islands, rendering every part of its interior accessible by water. The two natural divisions thus created are in striking contrast, the northern portion being high, bold and steep ; while that to the south is low, in- tersected by numerous inlets, diversified with moderate elevations, and rises gradually from its interior shore until it presents abrupt cliffs toward the Atlantic ocean. The highest land in this portion does not exceed 800 feet, while the northern division at its ter- mination in North Cape rises to the height of 1,800 feet. Between North Cape and Cape Ray on the opposite coast of Newfoundland, 48 miles dis- tant, is the main entrance to the Gluf of St. Lawrence. The Bras d'Or lake is 50 miles in length and 20 miles in breadth. Its depth of water varies from 12 to 60 fathoms, and it is very secure and navigable. In several of its large bays the timber ships from England receive their cargoes. There are several fresh water lakes, and numerous rivers, but none navigable. Salt springs are found on tue coast. The climate is varied, but not so rigorous as that on the adjoining conti- nent. Vegetation is very rapid. Maize and other grains are raised ; but the corn produced is insufficient for home consumption. Marble, gi'anite, lime- stone and primitive slates prevail ; and gypsum, salt and coal are found, the latter in great abundance and of a superior quality. The coal deposits of Cape Breton occupy not less than 120 square miles. There are also rich depo- sits of the best iron ore and gold. Cape Breton has long been celebrated for its fisheres. During its occupancy by the French it is said that the harbor of Louisburg exported no less than 500,000 quintals of cod annually, and 600 vessels were employed in its trade and fisheries. The products of the Cape Breton fisheries in 1871 were as follows: — Dried Cod, cwt 126,275 Scalcfish " •. 64,025 Pickled fish. Mackerel in barrels 49,226 " Herrings " 39,266 " Salmon " .... 944 Other Pickled fish " .... 3,363 CAP U CAP Oil of all kinds in gallons 74,625 Estimated value $1,283,050 5,780 men were employed ia the above fisheries. The forests . of Caps Bretoa furnish larffe quantities of excellent ship timber, ana shipbuilding constitutes an im- portant and lucrative business. Cape Breton has as yet no railway communication with Nova Scotia proper, but a line is projected between New Glasgow and Louisburg, one of the finest harbord iu the worla. This would give the trade of the Dominion an outlet winter and summer. It is about 200 miles nearer Europe than Halifax, and as a coaling depot it would be unequalled on account of the cheap- ness of coal. A short railway of ten miles now connects the coal mines with the port of Sydney, but the several companies are arranging to build a line to Louisburg so as to ship at all sea- sons. As coal only costs $1.25 a ton at the pit mouth, it will only add 50 cents to the ton to be delivered at Louisburg. The estimated cost of a railway from New Glasgow to Louis- burg is Jive million dollars. Cape Breton is divided into four counties, Richmond, Inverness, Victoria and Cape Breton, and sends 8 members to the Provincial Legislature, and 5 to the House of Commons.

LABRADOR, an extensive peninsula on the E. coast of British North Ameri- ca, la*, from 50= to 05^ N., and Ion. 5e^ to 78^ \V., bounded on the south- east and east by the Gulf of St. Law- rence and the Atlantic; on the north andwestbylludson's Strait andHudson's Bay ; and on the south-west by Rupert s river. Lake Mistassini and Bctsiamiles river. Extreme length 1,100 miles; breadth "170 miles. Area estimated at 45u,(JOO square miles ; or about equal to the British Islands, France and Prussia combined. Blanc Sablon, near the mouth of the North "West river, is the . eastern boundary of the Canadian part of this great peninsula, wliich includes tl e whole area draining into t';e river and Gulf of St. Lawrence. The portion belonging' to Newfoundland is roughly defined as that which is drained by rivers flowing into the Atlantic. Tlic remaining area, draining into Hudson's Bay, is called East Main,and is mcluded in the North West Territories of the Dominion of Canada. i'he interior of Labrador is very imperfectly known. Professor Hind, who exfilored it, describes it thus : " The table-land is 2,240 feet above the ocean .1 at the sources of the east branch of the Moisic. It is pre-eminently sterile, and where the country is not burned cariboo moss covers the rocks. In the hollows and deep ravines are to be found stunted spruce, birch and aspens. The whole of tue table-land is strewed with an infinite number of boulders, sometimes three and four deep. These singular erratics are perched on the summit of every mountain and hill, often on the edges of cliffs, and they vary in .';ize from one foot to twenty feet in diameter. Lan- puajze fails to paint the awful desola- tion of the table-land of the Labrador peninsula." The principal water shed is formed by the Wotchish mountains sending the water which gathers on its side West, North and East. The ])rincipal rivers are the East Main or Stude which flows nearly due west into the south-east e.xtremity of Jame?s Bay j- the Great and Little Whale Rivers, wiiich flow in the same direction^ana fall into the south-cast extremityfof Hudson's Bay ; the Kenoganissce and Koksoak, which flowing respectively north-east and north-west, unite their streams and fall into the Ungava or South Bay, off the S.E. of Hudson's Strait; and the Meachickemau or North West River, which flows east into the Strait of Belleisle. The lakes are very numer- ous, almost every river forming several by expanding during its course. The largest are Clear Water, in the west, which discharges itself by a stream of the same name into Hudson's Bay; Mistassini in the south, and Mcschicke- mau, an expansion of the river of tha same name. The prevailing rocks on the coast are granite, gneiss and mica-sla'e. Above these, in some parts, is a bed of old red sandstone, about 200 feet thick, followed by secondary limestone. To- wards the interior, the secondary for- mations disappear, and the primary become prednminant. The surface, when seen at a distance from the sea, has a green and alluvial appearance, but is found, on examination, to be covered with moss and stunted shrubs. In the valleys, where the soil is sandy, and the tem|)er iture considerably above the average, juniper, birch and poplar trees are found growing, and f^onn a covert during the summer ror deer,bears, LAB 1G2 LAB wolves, foxes, martens, otters, &c., till the approach of winter drives them to the coa^'Jt. The climate is too severe to ripen any of the ordinary cereals. Barley, sown and cut green, makes excellent fodder ; |)otatocs and several species of culinary vegetables are said to do well. The whole of this vast wilder- ness is uninhabited by civilized man, with t'lie exception of a few settlements on the St.Luwrence and Atlantic coasts, a id some widely separated posts of tlie Hudson's Bay "Company. Wandering tribes ofEsquimaux occupy the norllieru coast <)' La railor, wliile nomad c tribes of NasI{apees,Mis assini and Moniagnais Indians are thinly scattered over tiie interior. The exports, which are chiefly through Newfoundland, are codfish, salmon, seal a id whale oil and furs. Once tlie country was rich in fur bear- ing animals and cariboo or rein'leer, b.it those are now greatly reduced in numbers. Of th a eastern side hardly anythi ig is known beyond the coast, wliich has been carefully surveyed by Ciipt. Bayfield. Before his day it was 1 this bleak and dangerous coast that the great navigatir, Captain Cook, fir.-it dio;)l;iyod those talents as a marine surveyor which gained for him the patronage of Sir Hugh Palliser, and drew public attention to his extraor- dinary enterprise. His charts ofNow- foundliind, Labrador, and the Straits of Bdleisle are, to this day, a convincing proof of his fidelity, genius and dis- cern me it. The Indians who inhabit the interior of Labrador are all tribes of tho once great Algonquin race, whose domains cxtomled, before the arrival of the "pale-facei," from the Rocky Mountain? to Newfoundland, and from Labrador to the Carolinas. xhe aborigines of Newfoimdland belonged to this wide- spread race of red men. The Mon ag- nail or Mountaineers as they are com- monly called, occupied the country along the lower St. Lawrence and thn Gulf; tlie Scoffls, Naskapees and Mis- lassini are the Algonquins of Labrador proper, and coterminous with the Esquimaux. The Mountaineers, or " Hunting Indians" of'Labrador, once formed a " great nation,"and could bring into the field a thousand warriors to repel the incursioDik of the Esquimaux, with whom they were constantly at war, and for whom they have still a bitter hatred and contempt. They arc slotliful whe i not excited by war or the chase, cruel, revengeful and superstitious. Nearly all of them, like the Micmacs of Nosa Scotia, pro- fess the Roman Catholic faith; but they have imbibed little of the spirit of Christianity. Tiioy bring down furs to tho settlements on the coast, and exchange them for ammunition and clothing. In the use of firearms they are very expert ; b;it they are fre([uently compcUed,by a scarcity of ammunition, to recur for siipport to theii original weapons, the bow and arrow, and with these they can kill a flying partridge at forty yards distance. Their canoes are made of birch-bark, and their sledges of ath'n birch board, shod with slips of bone. The Mountaineors driw tlieir own sledges, as their dogs are but small and used only for the purpose of hunting. The Esquimaux of Labrador live almost entirely by fishing. They are ])artially Christianized and civilized through the praiseworthy exertions of Moravian missionaries. They exchange fur^, oil and whalebone for ammunition, gnns and clothing at the European settlements. Thoy arc mild, hospitable and honest. They are well provided with a peculiar breed of dogs, vora- cious and fierce, and so like wolves that they mi:;ht easily be mistaken for these animals. In winter the E'Sqnimaiix travel with these dogs over the snow at the rate of from six to ten miles an hour ; each sledge is drawn by ten or twelve dogs, yoked two and two, a pair of the most ^sagacious being placed in front as leaders, and the whole guided by a long whip, without reins, the la-sh extending to the foremost doas. Their huts are, in winter, embanked with turf and moss, excepting a small casement of oiled seal skin at the top. Without any fire but a lamp, these inhabitations are a^ warm as an oven. Tlie passion- ate attachment of tho Esquimaux to their frozen seas and icy plains is won- derful. They mfinitely prefer their storm-beaten shores to the gentle waves and cerulean skies of more temperate regions. It is clear that they are ft totally different race from the Refl Indians of America. Tho Esquimaux LAB 1G3 LAC arc stunted in stature and essentially Mongolian in physiognomy, having a flattened nose, prominent profile and topper-colored skin It is remarkable that the Esquimaux is the only family common to the Old World and the New Dinin;? the brief Labrador summer tlie wliole coast, for five hundred miles north of the Straits of Belleisle, swarms witli fishermen from Newfoundland, Xovn- Scotifi, Quebec, and the United HtntL'3. They arc engaged in the cap- tire and c ire of cod, salmon and her- ring. The total value of these fisheries \s not less tinn a million sterling. Most of thefisliormen who frequent Labrador in summer are from Newfoundland. They proceed to the various fishing stations along the coast, in small ves- sels, oft 'n taking their families along with them, and reside ashore in tem- porary huts. They arrive about the (Mill of Juno, when the ice is pretty well cleared away from the coast, and re- main till the first or second week in October. A considerable part of the cod, salmon and herring is shipped by the supplying merchants direct from Labrador to foreign ])orts, but more of it is taken to St. John's, Harbor Grace and other places, where it is stored to be .^hipped according to the demand of foreign markets. Bleak and savage as are the shores of Labiador, yet their appearance or as- pert is often picturesque and grand, and sometimes strangely beautiful. At Cape Chateau is a scries of basal- tic columns, wrought into the shape of an ancient castle (hence its name,) the turrets, arches, loop-holes and keeps all beautifully represented Here are iiiateriiils for an artist not less attractive tlian the renowned Cave of Fingal. The famous Labrador feldspar is well known, and is abundant near the Euro- pean settlements on the southern por- tion of the peninsula of Labrador. Labrador was discovered by Cabot in 1496; and re-discoverer! by Hudson in ItUO The European settlement :, all on the east coast, consist of Forteau and Bradore Bays, Anse Le Blanc, and the Moravian stations Main, Okhak, Hopedalo ami Hebron. The Hudson's Bay Company have several settlements in Labrador and receive many valuable flits from it. The total population is supposed to be about 5,000.

LAURENTIAN MOUNTAINS, a range of mountains extending from Labrador to the Arctic Ocean , wliole course about 3,500 miles. It gives the water shed separating the tributaries of the St. Lawrence from those of Hud- son's Bay ; but beyond the basin of the St. Lawrence it is traversed by two affluents of Hudson's Bay, the Saskatchewan and the Churchill, the former taking its source in the Rocky Mountains, while still farther on It becomes the limit of the Hudsona Bay rivers, dividing tl.eir sources and those oftheBick aud ottier streams, for 800 miles, from the tributaries of the Mackenzie. The general elevation of the Laurentian range is fiorn 1,500 to 1,6C0 feet , some peaks about the iSagiie- ney attain a height of 4,000 feet. The surface is of a mammillatod character, Its hills being worn by glacial action into lound backed ibrms, in general thickly clothed with wood, the prevail- ing trees on the summits being ever- greens, in some places chiefly pine, and in others spruce, while hardwood sometimes abounds on the lower eleva- 'tioiis and in the valleys. The va'leys are m general not very wide, and many are worn into deep pits holding ponda and lakes, some streams indeed are nothing more from tbeir soutces to their mouths than a chain of such quiec expansions united by short discharging v'hanneis. The prodigious number of these sheets of water, great and small, bespangling the whole aioa, is one of its most remarkable ieatuies, and when looked upon as displayed on a map. they appeal so scattered at landom over the surface as to contradict al- most any supposed law of distribution The Laurentide rocks are of the azoic era LAUZON, or ST JOSEPH DE LE- VIS, a flourishing post village in Le- vis CO , Que , on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, 2 mil'^s from Levis.

The total value of imports for 1872 was $042,247; exports §841. This section of North America was first visited by the French. Chevnlicr de la Vcrandrye built a furl at the mouth of the Assiniboinc m 1731. The French continued to trade there alone for many years, but in 17G7 tlie first Enj^lish traders visited it, and soon several rival comimnies were in oikts- tion. These finally dwindled into tbc famous North West Comi)aiiy, wliich in its turn was absorbed Ity tiie Hud- son's Bay Company, chartered l)y King Charles II in 1G70. The latter cunii-aiiy having sold a tract of land to I he lion. Tliomas Douglas, liarl of Selkirk, on both sidesof the Assiniboinc and of ibe Red River, his lordship planted tlicre. in 1812, a colony known by the mime ot Selkirk Settlement, lied River Settle- ment, or also Assiniboia. In 18.% tlie Hudson's Ray Company repurcliased from the heirsof Lord Silkirk the same tract of land ceded to his lordsliip in 1811. and continued to exercise autlior* ity over that portion of Rupert's Land by the appointment of the Governor and Council of Assiniboia, wliicb, in course of time, especially arter the set- tlers had declared independence of trade in 1849, formed a rather indei)endent administration for the local nfi'airsin the colony, the limits ot wiiicli extended but fifty miles around Fort Garry, it is that colony that now forms tlio great- est part of the new province of Manitoba. The Hudson's Bay Company never claimed r^ny proprietary rights on tlie North West Territories proper. These territories formerly included nothing but the lands east of tlic Rocky Moun- tains, watered by the rivers running towards the Arctic Sea. The Charter of the Company merely included Ruj)ert's Land, t.e , the lands watered by the tributaries of Hudson's Hay. These two immense portions of coun- try outside of the province of Manitoba are now known by the same name of North West Territories. In March, 18G9, the Hudson's Bay Company agreed to hand to the ini- pcrial Government their territ'tml rights and governing respon-s bilities, and on the IGth of July, 1870, England handed the whole to tlie Canadian jjov- ernment. It was during that period that the Red River troubled took place. The MAN 187 UAP transactions between England And Canada, as well as the Hudson's Bay Comnany, liaviug been made without consulting and even paying any atten- tion to the government and people of Assiniboia. a deep feeling of nncasiness arose, anil the Canadian authorities cominp: into the country before the transfer, nK't resistance. In the mean- time a provisional government was fonned by the settlers to secure their rights and comj to an agreement with the Dominion of Canada, delegates were sent to Ottawa for that purpose and treated with the proper authorities. England urged the Ottawa Government to satisfy the pcoi)l6 of Red River. Then the Bill of Manitoba and other guarantees were agreed to, and tlierehv the entry of Manitoba into the Confed- eration Avas effi-'cted. The first missionary known as baring visited the country is the Kev. Piro McBsager. wlio accompanied Chevalier de la Voriindrye in 1731. At the time of the Conquest the Catholic missions were abandoned ; they were resumod in I-^IB by the Ueva. J. N. Provencher indS J N. DumonUn, from Quebec. The Rev J N.

An hid tin village called Hoclielngii cxisU'd li?re at this time. Tlie wiiy to it v.'a9 through large fields oflmliiin c'lr'i. its outline was circu- lar; niid it was encompassed by three sciiara'.e r( ws of jmlisiides, or rather jiidet fencis, oi,o wiiliin the other, well secured and put together. A sin^'le eiitra iro Wii3 left in this rude forlificiitidn, but guarded witli \nkcs and stiiki'.s tind every jirccautio'i taken ag.'iiiiiit si.ge or attack. The cabins or lo(]ir;s of the inliabitants, about 50 in numl»er, were const rucied in tlie form of aiuiuicl, etich 50 feet iji length by 15 in hictKlili Tliey were frntned of wood covered with "^bark. Above the doors of tl;e.-e Ik uses as well us along tlie oiit'Trows of [alisndos ran a gallery atcendeil by hidd. rs, wh' re ptones and other mi-silcs w( re laid in order tor tlie dolVnce of tlie pliicc. Kacli house con- tained several cLainber-:, au'^ the whole weie BO ai ranged as to enclose an oj'cn court yard, wliero the fire was nitide Carlier named the jilace Mount Royal. It first began to be settled by Kuropeans inl.')42, a:id exae'ly one century after tiie spot destined for the city was com- seerated with due solemnities, com- mended to the " Queen of the Angels,' and called 1 iUe Marir, a name whieli it letained for a long period. In 17i;0 it was tnkfo by the English. At this time it was a well peopled town of an oblong form, surrounded by a wall flanked with eleven redoubts — a ditch about 8 feet ''eep and a proportionable width, but diy, and a fort and citadel, the batteries of which commanded the streets of the town from one end to Ihe other. The town was at this time divided into upper and lower town, the upper town being the level of the present Court lloitse In the lower town the merchants and men of business generally resided and here were situated the royal magazines, the armory, and the nunnery hospital In the upper town Wire the priicipal buildings, such as the jtalace of the Governor,ihe houses of the chief ofTicers, the Convent of the Recollets. the Jesuit's Church and Seminary, the Free Seliool, and the Parish Church 'I he houses were solidly constructed in that semi-moiin.licstyle peculiar to Rouen, Caen an i oi her towns in Normtindy. Early in the present century vessels of mOre than 300 tons could not ascend to iMontreal, and its foreign trade was carried on by small brigs and b^irge^. In 18ii9 the first steam vessel, " The Acconinio(hition," built by the Hon. Joh i Alolson, maae a trip to Quebec; she hud berths for about 20 i)assengers. Years of industry, intelligence, enterprise and labor have produced a mighty contrast— Ocean steamers of 4.0U0 tons, the magnificent floating palaces of tli Richelieu Com- piiny, and slii[ s from TOO to 2,000 tons, frorn all jiarts of the world, now lay along side the wiiarv s of the harbor, which are not equalli don litis continent, in point of extent, aeconimodation, ap- ])roacii and cleanliue.ss.

W. by the provi icc cf Quebec, from which it is peparaled bv the River Restigouclie ; N. by Baie Chalears ; E. by the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Northum- berland Strait, tt:e latter separating it from Prince Edward Island ; S. by the BayofFundyand part of Nova Scotia ; and on the W, by the State of Maine, from which it is separated by the St. Croix and St. John rivers ; extending from hit. 45'' 5 to 48^ 40 N., Ion. G3^ 50 to G8 W.; greatest length frtjui N. to S. 2:iO miles ; breadth 190 miles ; area 27,322 pquare miles, equal to 17,48G,2SO acres. Its coast lino is about 500 miles in lengtii, inter- rupted only at the p-diit of junction wiih Nova Scotia, wiiere an isthmus of not more than 1 1 miles in breadth con- nects the two territories and separates the waters of Northumberland Strait from those of the Bay of Fundy, and which It is proposed to unito by means of a canal, called the Bay Verte Canal. The surface of the country is gen- erally flat or undtilating. There are some hills skirling tlie Bay of Fundy and the Rivers St. John and Restigouche, but they nowhere assume mountain summits. The shores of the Gulf ofSt. Lawreiceand Northumber- land Strait abound in fine ship harbors (each at the mouth of a considerable which 13 exported much For about 12 miles inland is low and skirted with province is tra- river) from fine timber, the country marshes. The face of the provmce is versed in all directions t)y naviga- ble rivers, chief of wt ich is the St. John, 450 miU's in length. It is navi- pable'ior vessels of U)0 tons to Fredcr- icton, 90 miles from the sea. Above this point smaller steamers ascend 65 miles, to Woodstock, and occasionally make trips a^ far as the Tobique, 75 miles further up, and even to the Grand Falls,a mag lificent cataract 70 or 80 feet perpendicular, 22."» miles from the sea. Above the Falls the St. John has been navigated loy a steamer to the mouth of th3 Madawaska, 40 miles ; from this i)oint boat^ and canoes may acend almost to its sources. The Madawaska river is also navigable for small steamers to Lake Temiscouata, a sheet of water 27 miles long, from 2 to 6 miles broad, and of great depth throughout. From the upper part of this lake to the River St. Lawrence, at Trois Pistoles, the distance is only about 18 miles Tlie country drained by the St. John and its tributaries com- B rises about 9,000,000 acres in New runswick, 2,000,000 m Quebec, and 14 z' NEW 210 NEW 6,000,000 In Maine. The valley ja re- markable for itd fertility, and nictiir- esqiie buauty. After the St. Jofni, the largest river of New Brunswick is the Miramiclii, flowing N. E. iito an exten- sive bay of its own name. It U 225 miles in length, and 7 miles wide at its mouth. It is navigable for large ▼essels 2'5 miles from the Gulf, and for schooners 20 miles further, to the head of the tide, above which, for GO miles, it is navigable for tow bouts. The river has many largo tributaries, spreading over a groat extent of country. Tl>e Petitcodiac is a large river, flowing into Cumberland Basin, near the head of the Buy of Fundy. It is about 100 miles in lengtli, and is navigable for vessels of the largest size for 25 miles, and for schooners of GO or 80 tons to the head of tide, 12 miles further. The Richibucto is a consider- able river flowing into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The tide flows up it 25 miles. It is navigable for small vessels 15 miles. Tlie Restigouche, at the north eastern extremity of the pro- vince, is a noble river, 3 miles wide at its entrance into the Baiedes Ohaleurs, and navigable for large vessels for 18 miles from the Bay. The principal stream of the Restigouche is over 200 miles in 'length, ha Indian name signifies " the river which divides like the hand" — in allusion to its separation, above the tide, in five large streams. The main river, and its tributuries, drains over 4,000 square miles of fertile and finely timbered country. Among the numerous bays with which the const is indented, the most important is the Bale des Chalpurs,an immense haven 90 miles in length, and from 12 to '25 miles in brea'lth, with many excellent harbors Throughout its whole extent there is neither rock, reef, nor shoal, nor any impediment to navigation. On the southern, or New Brunswick, side of this Bay tne shores are low, the water deepening gradually from them. On the northern, or Quebec, side, the shores are bold and precipitous rising into eminences, which almost may be called mountains. Besides the Miramichi already mentioned, the principal bays on its east coast are Richibucto, Buc- touche, Cocagne and Shediac ; on the south coast are Passamaquoddy Bay, separating New Brunswick fron; Maine, and on the H.W., St. John Ilarbor and Chignecto Bay. The lakes are numerous but of small extent. Tlie principal is Grand Lake, .30 milc<4 long and 2 to 7 miles wide, communicating with the River St. John 50 milei from the sea. Along the shores of the Bale des Gha* leurs and the Gulf of St. Lawrence gray sandstone and gray clajsliito pre- dominiite, with detached rocks of granite, quartz, and ironstone; on the south coast, limestone, graywacke. clayslate, with sandstone, interrupted occasionally by pneis-), trap and granite. Specimens of aniotliyst, carnelian, jasper, Ac, liavo been pickca up in various places. Coal is ulcntiful and iron ore abundant ; the former ij said to extend over 10,0()0 square miles. The Albert coal mine is the most val- uable deposit of bituminous matter on this continent. It produces 100 gallons of crude oil per ton. Copper and manganese also abound. A large de- posit of the former has been dis- covered on the banks of the Nepisiquit river, which falls into Bathurst B«t, and another of plumbago within halfa mile of St. John. Tlie supply of the latter is said to be inexhaustible. Gypsum, limestone, freestone, and grindstone abound. Salt springs. strongly saturatei, are numerous, ana some sulphurous springs have been discovered. The climate of New Brunswick is subject to great extremes of heat and cold. The ranges of temper- ature are : at St. John from 18' below to 88' above ; at Richibucto from 20° below to 90'' above ; and at Frcdericton from 24° below to 95' ab;)^e. The prevailing summer winds a;e from the W.S.W. and S.; when from the S.W. dense fogs are often produced on the Bay of Fundy, and extend from 15 to 20 miles inland. The autumn is a season of exceeding beauty, the air being dry and clear, and tlie woods glowing with innumerable tints of the richest and most brilliant hues. Of the soil and capabilities of Ne» Brunswick it is impossible to speak too highly. There is not a country in the world so beautifully wooded and water- ed. A large portion of the surface « covered with aense forests of pi^«i hackmatac, spruce, cedar, &c., «c NEW 211 NEW whirh nrovido immense auantitiea of tmibfrlxali fur export and sliinbiiild- iug.

Turnips, peas, beans, And oth'T leguminous plants thri'c admirulily. A most prolitable crop jj griiss, which occupies about four- Iiftii8 of the land on every largo farm. Agriculture, however, has made but ilow progress, and the demand for food 18 far beyond the supply raised on the soil. The inhabitants generally find It more ^irofitable to follow the lumbering business. The rivers, lakes at i sea const oi New Brunswick abound with fish of almost every variety. In Eiiedes Clinleurs immcn.so shoals are gccD, darkening the surface of the water. The Hay of Fiindy has long been celebrated for its fislieries. The yield from its waters in 1870 was val- ued at $270,239. In 1871 there were 5,161 men employed in the New Bruns- wick fisheries, and the total value of fish caught was estimated at $1,185,0.^3. The salmon fisheries of New Brunswick are amoig the finest in the world. TheBuctoiiche, Caraquetteand Cocagne oyster beds are as prolific as thoy are famous, and the finest lobsters are found in profusion. Ship-building is extensively prosecut- ed in the province, more especially at St. John and on the Miramichi. Vessels are also built at St. Andrews, at various coves a id harbors on theBay of Fundy, along the banks of the St. John and Petitcodiac; and at Cocagne, Richi- bucto, Bathurst, Dalhonsie, Campbell- ton, and other ports on the north shore. The total number of vessels built in 1811 was 108, with an aggregate bur- then of 33,353 tons ; in 1872, 93 vessels were built (tons 36,404.) The principal articles manufactured in New Brunswick are sawn lumber, leather, cotton and woollen goods, wooden ware of all descriptions, paper, iron castings, nails, mill machinery, lo- tomotives, steam engines, &c. The number of saw mills in the province 18 very large. The great extent of sea coast, with its nameroiis bays and navigable rivers Bowing into them, furnish admirable facilities for commerce. The principal exports are fish, timber and lumber, iron, coal, gypsum, shook.x, hay, &c The chief imports are wheat, flour, and cornmeal, corn and other grain, salted meats, cofl'ee, sugar, tea, molasses, to- bacco, wo(dlen, cotton and silk manu- factures, fruits, &c. The total value of the imports for 1872 amounted to $9,3t54.G52, of which f.'),738,4:i9 were from (ircat Britain, and f2,ft99,81l from the United States. The exports for the same period amounted to $.•), 719,7.34. The imports forSt. John alone amount ed to $7,.3r)4,099, and exports $3,650,181. There are five railways in the province, two ot which are under con- striiction—tlie Intercolonial and the Fre- dericton and Rividro du Loup roads. The Intercolonial (completed) runs from St. John to Halifax, with branch to Shediac. The head offices are at Moncton, from which westward to Trois Pistoles the building of the In- tercolonial is being rapidly pushed forward. The European and North American railway (consolidated) runs from St. John westward to the State of Maine, connecting at Frcdericton Junction with the Fredericton Branch railway, at McAdam with the New Brunswick and Canada railway, and at Bangor with the railway system of the United States. It is intended that this road shall form a connection with the St. Francis and Lake Megantic Inter- national railway, now in course of con- struction from Sherbrooke eastward. When this road is built the distance by rail, between Montreal and St. John, will be reduced to 430 miles. (By the Intercolonial the distance is 763 miles). The New Brunswick and Can- ada railway (the oldest railway in the province) proceeds from St. .indrews to Woodstock, with branches to St Stephen, and Houlton, Me. At "Wood- stock it connects with a branch of the Riv. du Loup railway. This line is run- ning between Fredericton and Wood- stock and Hartland. From the latter place it is being built to Riv. du Loup. Telegraph wires connect New Brunswick with the United States and the western provinces of the Dominioa on the one hand; and with Nov* Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New- foundland and Europe on the other.

The chief part of the inhabitants are emigrants from Great Britain, and their descendants. There are a number of French Acadians, settled chiefly in the counties on the north shore and in the valley of the Madawaska, and there are also a small number of Micmacs, Meli< cites, and other Indians in the northern part of the province, and on the St. John river. The number of Indians in New Bru iswick m 1871 was 1,403. The affairs of the iirovince are ad- ministered by a Lieutenant Governor, aided by aa Executive Council of 9 members a Legislative Council of 18 members, appointed for life, and a House of Assembly of 41 representatives elected every 4 years. The judicial df^partment comprises a Supreme Court, with a chiefand4puisnu judges haviufr Law and Equity jurisdiction; one of Mirriage and Divorce a Vic3 Adniiraltf Court, and a County Court for each county in the Province The provincial legis'atiire meets at Fredericton. New Brunswick was first settled bj the French in 1639 It continued to foi-m part, with Nova Scotia, of Acadia, or New France^ till it fell into the hands of the British, after the conquest of Quebec The first British settleram the province emigrated from Scotland to the Miramichi m 1764; and in 1784, New Brunswick was separated from N iva Scotia and erected into a sepa- rate province. In 1825. the standing timber in the district around Miiamichi B ly took fire, and enveloped an areaof 6,000 square miles in flames, consuming two thriving towns, many largo vessel! lying in Miramichi river and destroying 500 human beings. In 1867, this pro- vince united with Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia in forming the Canadian Confederation, and is the fourth largest Province, as regards population, ip ths Dominion.

NEWFOUNDLAND, or TERRE NEUVE, a large island in the Atlantic Ocean, at the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, between lat. 46° 38' and 51° 40' N , and Ion. 52° 35 and 59° 35 W. It is separated on the N W from Canada by the Gulf; its S.W Soint approaches Cape Breton ; N. and .E. are the shores of Labrador, from which it is divided by the Straits of Belleisle ; and on its eastern side expands the open ocean. It lies nearer to Europe than any part of America. It is about 1,200 miles in circumference ; its width, at the very widest part, between Capes Ray and Bonavista, is about .SOO miles ; and its extreme length, from Cape Race to Griguet Bay, about 419 miles, measured on a curve. Its form is somewhat triangular, but exceedingly irregular, owing to its being indented with deep bays, the most remarkable of which are Hare, White, and Notre Dame Bays, Bay of Exploits, Bonavista, Trinity, and Con- ception Bays on the E. coast ; St. MaiVg Bay, Fortune and Placentia Bay, on the S. coast ; and St. George's Bay and Bay of Islands on the W. "There are besides these smaller bays and harbors. Many of these areextensive, commodious and well sheltered, with numerous rivulets running into them, while most of the harbors have complete anchorages, with clear and good channels. The interior of the Island has never been thoroughly explored, but from the reports of Mr. Murray, the geologist^ who has been for many years past and is still engaged in its exploration, there is reason to believe that its resources, both agricultural and mineral, are of very considerable importance. The greater portion, however, appears to be rocky, with numerous tracts of moss, much intersected by rivers and lakes, and but thinly wooded, except on the banks of the rivers Great boulders, or loose rocks, scattered over the country, increase its general rough- ness. Hills and valleys continually succeed each other, the former never rising into mountains (the highest not exceeding 1,500 feet) and the latter rarely expanding into plains. The " barrens "if Newfoundland are those districts which occupy the summits of the hills and ridges, and other elevated and exposed tracts. They are covered with a thin and scrubby vegetation, consisting of berry -bearing plants ana dwarf bushes, of various kinfls. Bare patches of gravel and boulders, and crumbling fragments of rock, are fre- quently met with on the "hnrrens," which are generally destitute of vege- table soil The sea cliffs are, for tlie mo^t part, bold and lofty, with deep water close to the shore. The rivers of Newfoundland are nu- merous, and though the majority are small, yet some attain to respectable size. The largest are the Humber, River of Exploits, Gambo and Great Cod Roy rivers. The Humber, in its main branch, is about,80 miles long— in its second, or Grand Pond branch, it is about 48 miles long. The Exploits is about 150 miles lon^, and drains about 3,000 square miles of countir The Gander is somewhat over lOO miles long. Nearly all the rivers issue from lakes or ponds in the interior. Many of them abound with NEW 215 NEW excellent salmon. Fresh water lakes and ponds are also numerous. They are found over the face of the entire country— on the very tops of hills. Tbe surface covered with fresh water has been estimated at one third of the whole Island. 67 ponds have been counted from one spot on the N. E. mountains of Avalon, some two and three miles in extent, nonele?s than 100 yards, and not at a farther distance than ten miles from the base of the hill. The prin- cipal hikes in the Island are the Gander Pond, Deer Pond, Grand Pond and Red Indian Pond. The Graid Pond contains an area of about 185 square miles ; this includes an island at its south west end, which contains an area of about 50 square miles. Deer Pond has an area of about 30 square miles. Tiie Red Indian Pond has an area of Gl square miles. The Gander Pond Is sup- posed to be of large extent, but has not yet been measured. The prevalent formation of New- foundland is granite, and in some jiarts porphyry, quartz, gneiss, mica and clay- slate, with secondary and, over a cim- giderable area, carooniferous forma- tions. The minerals of the Island com- prise silver, copper, lead, chromic iron, magnetic iron, specular iron,mangane3e, nickel, plumbago, gypsum, serpentine, jaspers, white and black, marble, lime- stone and coal. Traces of gold have also been found by analysis, as well as traces of cadmium a id bismuth. file principal mines are, the Tilt Cove Mine (conper), the Noti-e Dame Mine (copper), both on the eastern side of the Island ; and tlie La Mancbo Mine (lead), on the southern coast. The lirst nameit has been very productive. The other two have not neen so successful, though iheri^ is i o doubt they are rich in mincraK^ ; the cause of their cimipara- tive failure is to be found in tlv lack ofmeansor energy, or both, in their ]iro- prietoi:!. The La Manelio Mine bus Hcbang'^d proprietary Companios three sereral tiuiLM. The works were com- menced i I IS')? by Messrs. Ripley & Co., a'd by thenj were excavated about 537 cubic fathoms, yielding 1.800 tons oforp, that is, an average of 3-4 tons to the cubic fathom. The next Com- pany, called the Placntia Bay Co., leicavaipd about 379 fathoms, which give 450 tons of ore, or 1-18 per fathom. The present Company, called the Lft Mancho Mining Company, between January and June, in 18G7, made but an average of 1,580 pounds to the cubic fathom, or little over J a ton. The ts^.tal amount raised up to 1868 was about 2,350 tons of ore. Since then but little has been done. There have beei a good many licenses of search taken out these years back, but no work of any importJiDfie has been commenced. The climate, being insular, is not liable to so great changes in tempera- ture as that of the neighbouring con- tinental Provinces, the winter being much miller and the summer not nearly so w arm. The average tempe- rature of February, the coldest month, is 22^, of July, the hottest, 60^, and of the year 40^. Tiie winter lasts from Djceinber till April.^ The summer is short and warm. In May and be- ginning of June dense fog.^ prevail on the Banks and neigh-ioring shores, but they do not appear to be in the least prejudicial tt» health. The principal trees of Newfound- land are spruce, birch, larch, willow, a.sh and fir; but they do not attain to a large size. Recumbent and standing evergreens are to be met in great va ie- ty ; berry-grow'ng bushes abound in every swamp. Euroncan and Amfrican gra.?se J, also red and white clover, are abindivnt. In several sections of the Island agriculture can be carru'd on with profit. In the ne'ghboihood of m iny of th-i lakes and rivers there are valuable alluvia. Potatoes yield well aid are of excellent quality; green crops thrive well i i many districts. Wheat has been known to yield 30 bush- els per acre. Apples, i)lums and cherries have bjcn rais^'d with success ; goose- berries, strawberries, and raspberries, of very good quality, are grown. T le timber lands, araou iting^o near- ly one miUioi of acres, and situated lumcipally on the western side of the I-sland, and by the cliief lakes and rivers, a'-e wholly unsettled, and uncrranted, though they are of liigii impDrta-ce with a view to settlem^n'. What may be the extent and nature of the lands of the interior it is im')(>3?il)le to say, as they have never ben surveyed.

With the exception of the grant to the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company, wliich consists of one hundred square miles, in blocks of three miles each) no l.md lias been given to any purchasers in quantities excetding 200 acies, save in very few instances. The only animal peculiar to the Island is the Newfoundland dog, f.imoiis the world over. Among the wild animals may be enumerated the deer, the wolf, the bear, the buaver, the martei and •wild cat. Land and aquatic birds are numerous. Seals are numerous on tha coasts, as are also whales, grampuses and porpoises; while for fish there is no place in the world comparable to Newfoundland, especially for cod. The famous Grand Banks swarm with cod and every other variety offish. Theso banks form the most exten-iive sub- m:iriue elr-vation on the face of the globs ; in their full extent they occupy e= of l)n., and nearly 10' of lal., beiigover 6')0 miles in length and 200 miles in broadth, with a depth of wa'cr varyin? from 10 to IGO fathoms. Tiie mean depth is estimated at 40 fathoms. The pr -secution of the fi-hery oi the Grand Banks has of late years b?en left exclusively in the hands of foreigner^, Srincipally French, whilst the shore sh-TV, which, w til less risk, is more convenient, is d.';)en(k'd upon by the fishermen of the Island for their Bunport. The cod fishery opens in June andlasfs till the middle of Novem- ber, and may ba said to fj -m the chief occupadon of the inhabitants of tlio Island. The seal fishery is next in im- portance. In 1S72, 19J vessels, with an aggregate b.trthen of 29,703 tons, and manned by 9,49 ! men, were encraged in this fislie'ry. The sailng fl let of Newfoundland now ineludes 20 steam ve'S'd-!, 5,7>9 tons, carryin;; 3,511 men. Dir'ng 1872.r2.">3ve33 'Is wer) entered atiheport of St. John's, and 9:^3 vessels cleared. The revenue of Newfoundland for 1872 amounted tn$S13,(;00, aid the expenditure to $^30,3)'), but thera being a balance from 1871 of $132,000, after paying all the expenditure of that year, left a balance at the end of 1872 of $115,000. Tlio debt of tin colony on the 3l3t of December, 1372, was $1,151,676. The imports of Newfoundland con- sist of all articles used for food a-ad clothing as well as for domestic and fishi ig purposes.

The judicial denartment com- pri.3e3 a Supreme Court', with a Chief and two assistant judges; a Vice Ad- miralty Court, and a District Court. The public school syst:^m is basted on the denominational principle as regards Roman Catholics, and the non-di'nom iuational as far as Protestants general* NEW 217 NEW ]j are concerned. The Church of Eng- land Protestants are dissatisfled with tho Bvstctn, and desire a separation from all the oHkt Protestant denomi- nations, BO a3 to be placed in the same E)siiiuii, as to public education, as the omaa Catholics ; from this view, however, all the other Protestant de- nominations dissent. In consunanco with this state of things there are two Coral inspi'Ctora of elementary or rd8chools,oneaPiotestani,iheother a Roman Catholic. The last printed reports of these inspectors are for 1871. The number of Protestant schools then inoperaiion (the number and attend- ance liave varied veiy little si ice) was 180, with an attendance of 10,676 pupils. Of theso schools, 138 were elementary ; 7 commercial ; 20 Colonial Church and School Society (partly sup ?orted by th« local gove^pnienl} ; 12 ITeslcyau School Society ; 2 Church of England; and 1 Presbyterian Church. The niirab'^r of Roman C:itholic schools was 101, with an attendance of 5,411 pupils. There are besides tliese, 7 com- mercial schools, with an attendance of 602 pupils ; and 13 co ivent schools, with an atienda ica of 1,9G5 pupils. There are four public academies, based on the denominational principle, and all situa- ted in the capital of t he Isla id ; ono for EomaT Catholics, which is in connec- tion witlitlioirColleg • ; one for Church of England Protestants, in c )nucction with their collof^iate establishment ; one for Weslcyans ; and on^ for Pro- testants of all other denominations. The last named ought not, perhaps, to be denominational, inasmuch as it is open tu all denominations, though but few, if any, of tliu denominations who posjessac.idemic 1 i istitutioas of their own have r course to it.

New Westminster was a prosperous anl busy place when it was the capital, but since the removal of the government to Victoria it has materially decreMed in business aud population. But notliing can deprive it of its magnificent site and of its unequalled climate and scenery.

Tlie Southern department eitcaded on both sides of James's IJay, andidoiix the south shores of Hudson's i{ay,iisfiirnortii as Cape Churchill, and inlund to the ridj?e which formsi the nortlicrn boundary of Quebec and On- tario, and to the Lakes Winnipeg, Deer and Wollaston. Tho Montreal ileparlincnt included tho country in the iiei|?hbi)rhood of Montreal, up tho Ottawa river, and along tlio north shore of the St. Lawrence to Esqui- mux Bay ; and tho ('olumbia depart- ment, coniprcheaded all that inmiense extent of country to tho west of the Rocky Mountains, now the province of British Columbia. Tho country on the E. side of Hudson's Bay, fjrminp the ptniisula of Labrador, Tas cidlcd East Main ; that oa tho south-west, New South Wales. In 1870 tho North West Torritories came into the possession of the Domi- nion of Canada. Out of the Southern department the province of Manitoba was created. Tiie ti'rritorieg now outside Manitoba »nd British Columbia are gpverned by the Lieutenant Covrrnor of Manitolia, who i3 styhd " Lieute lant Governor of Manitoba and North West Territories," and by a Council of 11 membere. Fort Gurry is the seat of Government. The North West Territories are water- fil by numerous lakes aid rivers. Tho principal rivers are the Churchill, Nel- son, Severn, Albany, Abbitibbi, East Main, and Great Whale rivers, flowing into Hudson's Hay; the Mackenzie, Cop- penniiie, aid Great Fish rivers, flowing into the Arctic Ocean; the Saskatche- »in, Assinniboine and Red rivers, fall- ing into Lake Winni[)eg ; and the Cania- pnscaw (or Koksoak) and Natwakame rivers, falling into fiiidson's Straits. Tiie MaeUeiizie i.s one of tlr* liroaiest nvers in the world. It ii •J.oOf) miles loiig,aiid(lows through a fertile and fine- ly wooih'd country skirud liy metalli- ferous hills, and with coal ni'iisiirea croppinj: out near the surf ice Uirough- out three fourllis (f the area drained bj it. Acconling to tiie best comi)iilation, it drains an area of 4 l.'!,()Ol) sii'iare miles. The Copperniiiio river is very ri< ii in copper ore ami galena. T!ie Saskat- chewan, 1,300 miles long, and its tribu- runes, drain an area of iUIil.iOO Bn miles long and about as wide. Great Slave Lako is 300 miles long and '>0 wide. Lako Athabasca is 200 miles long and 20 to 41 wide. L iko Winnipeg is 280 miles I )ng and r> to 57 mill's wide ; Lake of tho Woods 75 milej lani;? by (JO miles wide, and Lake Mistassiui about the size of Lako On- tario. The agricultural capabilities of at least G)ii,000 KCjiaro miles of tho North West Territories aro very great. The ferlilo belt of the Saskatchewan alono contains an area of 04,400 square miles, in one continu- ous strip 800 miles long, and, on an average, 80 miles broad But tho best and largest wheat area is beyond tho Saskatchewan, viz : trie vallevs of tho Athabasca an(l Peace rivers to tho very western ( the Pacific) slope of the Rocky Mountains, along the Peace River pass to lat. 60^ N., near tho foot of the Rocky Mountains, an areaof thrco hundred million acres heyurd the sii[)- posed limit of the fertile belt of tha North West. (Authorities on this point, Archbishop Taohe, Harmon and Mc- Leod.) Tlie Saskatchewan w.i^ for- merly a wooded country, butsueeessivo fires partially cleared its frrest growth; it, however, abounds with tie most beautiful herbage, and generally pos- sesses a decpatid rich soil of veg'tablo mould. This extraordinary belt, more than one-third of which is at once available for the purposes of the agri- culturalist, is capable of sustaining a population of 90,000,000. This regwa 15 NOR 226 NOR ■ijc^fjitl in winter is not more severe than thai experienced in Ontario ; and in the western districts, which are removed from the intiiience of the great hikes, the pprinnj commences about a month earlier than on the shores of Lake Superior, which is five degrees of Lati- tude fartlier to the south. The depth of snow is never excessive ; while in the richest tracts the natural pastur- age is so abundant that horses and cattle may be left to obtain their food during the greater ))art of the winter: in fact up even to lat. LG" N., (Dunvegan on the Pe;!ce River,) the horses winter out the wliole season. Travellers who have visited tliis region describe it as magni- ficent, and the late Sir George Simpson, who had been for over thirty years Go- vernor of the Hudson's Bay Company, speaks of himself and fellow travellers, "brushing the luxuriant grass with our knees, and the hard ground of the surface was beautifully diversified with a variety of fl> wers, such as the rose the hyacinth and the tiger lily ;" and again he do^cihes it as "a beautiful country, with lofty hills, rolling prai- ries, sylvan lakes, bright green sward, uninterrupted profusion of roses aul blue bells, softest vales and i)anorama3 of han(?ii)g copses." Tlic Mackenzie river country is well wooded, and the soil well adapted for cultivation. The rivers and lakes west of Lake Superior are bordered by rich prairies and lu.Kuriant woods, and tlie splendid stream, (Rainy river, 100 miles, long^i, which em])tics Lac la Pluie into Lake of th.' Woods, is crowned in many places with a ])lentifiil growth of bircli, poplar, beech, elm and oak. Sir George Simpson thus concludes his remarks o i this beautiful streani : ''la it too much for the eye of philanthropy to discern throi.gh the vista of futurity, this noble stream, connecting as it does the fertile shores of two spacious lakes, with crowded steamboats on its bosom, and populous towns on its borders?" On Peace river groves of poplars and pine woods in every "hajie vary the scene, and their intervals are enlivened with vast herds of elks and bufl'alnos. About 150 miles east of the Rocky Moimtains the great coal bed com- mences. So far as has been ascertained it is over 300 miles in width, and Extends continuou?ly over IG degrees Of latitude, to the Arctic Ocean. The ^Ignite (or tertiary coal) firniation is still more extensively clevelojiort. At the junction of the Jhickcnzie and Bear Lake rivers, the formation is best ex- posed ; it there consists of a series of beds, the thickest of which exceed three yards, se])araled by layers cf gravel and sand, alternating Avith a ihie-grained, friable sandstone, and sometimes with thick beds ot clay, tiic interposing layer being often daik^tiom the dissemination of bituminous mrttter. The coal, when recently extracted fi-om the bed, is massive and most generfllljr plows the woody structure distinctly. j3eds cf coal also crop up OARD. a post village in Kings CO., N.B., on tho I.

Pop. 75. jVA SCOTIA, (originally ACA- DL^i.,) a province of tho Dominion of Canada, lyi ig between 43^ 25 and 47^ N. lat., and between 59' 40' and GG^" 25' W. Ion. It consists of a long, narrow peninsula called Nova Scotia proper, and the Island of Cape Breton, which is separated from the mainland by the Strait of Canso. It is bounded N. by Northumberland Strait (which separates it from Pri.ice Edward Island) and by the Gulf of St. Lawrence j X.E., S. and S.R., by the Atlantic Ocean ; W. by the Bay of Fundy ; and N. by New Brunswick, with which it is con- nected by an isthmus only 11 mib wide, separating the Bay of Fundy from Nortlmmberlaud Strait. Greatest length from S. W. to N. E., 350 m'les; greatest breadth, about 120 miles ; area 21,731 square miles, equal to 13,382,003 acres. The country is beautifully varie- gated by ranges of lofty hills and broad valleys.both of which run longitudinally i through the province. Its Atlantic fron- j tier, for 5 to 10 miles inland, is com- posed chiefly of a poor soil, thouglij rich in gold and other minerals. The Cobequid range of mountains,! as they are called, run through tliej interior of the Province. The summits of I a few of the conical mounts of this ranjrej ascend 1,100 feet and are cultivablel nearly to their tops. On each side ofl these mountains are two extensivef ranges of rich arable lands, whTeJ agricultural operations are carried oaj extensively and with i)rofit. From Hriiirf Island, at the extremity of Digby iVecj;^ and Capes Split and Bloracdon, a dis- tance of 130 miles along the Bay oil Fundy, extends a ridge of mural pri cipiceSjin many places presenting over- hanging masses of trap rocks from 101 to GOO feet in height. These frownniJ crags, with their crowded forests of nij are first seen by the mariner in crossing il 10 ido u^ NOV 229 NOV the Bay of Fiindy ; their height serves to protect the interior from the driving fogs of the bay. Beyond this barrier lies the rich and beautiful valley of the Amapolis. The south eastern coast of Nova Scotia is rcmarkaMe for the number of its capacious harbors, there being no fewer than 12 ports capable of receiving ships of the line, and 14 of sufHcic it depth fur merchantmen, between Hali- fax and Cape Ca.iso, a distance of not more than 110 niilos. There are nlso Eoine excellent harbors on the S. W. coast and on the N. side of the province. Til? Idand of Cape Breton is second only to Xova Scotia proper in the man- ber and capacity of its harbors. Tno Big Hnis d Or is one grand harbor, while aroiiiid the coast and in the Slra^t of Causo Xh'TQ are many fine harbors. Nova Scotia is boautifnlly divorsi.'icd wi'h riviTi and lakes, c ivering an ar;'a enimat'.d at 3,0!jO square rail's. The largest lake in Nova Scotia proper is Lake Ro,-s:gnul, being twenty miles in length; the next largest is Shi[) Harbor Lake, 1.'^ miles long; Grand Lak", dis- charging its waters northward through ShulJonacadie river to Cobequid B;iy ; and College Lake, in the eastern part of the po linsula. The lukos of Cape Breton are much larger and more im- portant. Tiie principal of those, how- ever, arc inland s'.'as, rather than lakes. The great Bras d'Or Lake is a magnifi- cent txiianse of water, of great depth, alioutjl) miles i i length, and abounding with the best quality of fidi. Of tiic rivers of Nova Scotia 15 fl iw into Nor- thumberland Strait; four into St. George's Ihv ; 17 into I'le Atlantic, and 24 into tlie'Bay of Fin ly. Tlie most important are the Shiibenacadie, the .\.von a; d tiie Annapolis, li nving into tlie liay of Fnndy ; the . t. Mary'-^', Mus- qao(Iob;)it, L:i Have and Liverpool, tijwiiig into the Atlant'c. All the fiuTi are, wiili fow excejit'ons, naviga- ble for c •■a;Uiiig vessels f )r distances wryingfroin two to twenty miles. The Ei'jtn'innrkable h >dy of water in the rroviiice is Minas Basi i, the cast arm of thel'.iy of Fundy, i>e letraling GO miles iiland iiud terminating in ('obequid My Tlie tides here rush in with crreat '«ltctuo,ity, and form what is called tlieio;-,'. At the equino.xos they Iiavc wn iinown to rise from 40 to 50 feet. while in Halifax harbor, on the opposite coastj the spring tides rise only from 6 to 8 feet. The other principal bays are St. George'3 Bay and Chedabucto Bay in the E., connected by the Gulf of Canso; St. Alary's Bay and Townsend Bay in the e.xtreme west of the penirH sula ; and Mahone and St. Margaret's Bays on the S. coast. The province of Nova Scotia is rich in geological resources, all the rocks from the crystalline granites up to tiic new sandstone series being here met with. In the isthmus connecting the peninsula to NewBuinswick, the under- lying rocks consist of gray, red, a id buff colored sandstones of the coal measures, containing innumerable seams of gooa bituminous coal, many of which are of suiliciont mag litnde to be profitably worked. Lofty clilfs abutting upon the sea c tast at tlie S mth Joggins pre-ent the most beautiful sectional proliles of the coal-bearing strata, with cnrlouB f issils, both of vegetable and animal origin. Largo trunks of tree-, such as are at prc>entunknowninaliving state, are here seen at various points,standing at right angles to the sandsto le strata. Alternate beds of excellent bituminous coal are seen cropping out along the shiirc, and a company has for years being workingcxte sive mines in one of these coal beds. The rocks of thi-^ coal formatio i also furnish a i abundance of excellent material for building and for grindsto les. Large quantities of beau- tiful and compact gray,bu(F colored and blue sandstone, and an immense num- ber of grindstones are annually exported to the United States. Coal is elsewhere found more abundantly in Pictou co., and on the Island of Cajic Bre on. The jirovincc possesses greai resources in gold and iron, a id in copper, lead, sil- ver, tin and otiier minerals. The gold yield of Nova Scotia from the lirst working of the mines in 1800 to the close of 1872, is estimated at 2:n,000 oz^, valued at X'94S, no stg. Ninnber of mines opened in 1872, 35. Iron is also asta.le production, the business done by a company at Londonderry being extensive. The quantity of ore on their j)ro))erty is inexhaustible, and the qiiality of iroi manufactured is at least cq al to the best Swedish. Manganese is a'iundant,and gypsum is extensively Avorkcd n'ar Windsor and in Cape NOV 230 NOV Breton. The slate liilla furnish good rooiint^ slates, and hones of a superior aualiiy arc obtained in some of the lates of the coal series. Beautiful ftga'es, amethystSjChalcedunies, jaspers, cairngorms, and the entire group of Beolite nuuerals abound in the amygda- loidul trap along tlie Bay of Fuudy. The cliinate of Nova Scotia is reiuarlc- ably temperate considering its northern latitude. The extreme of cold is 20^ below zero ; the extreme of heat 98^ above, i;i the shade. Tlio climate vm ies considerably in the different counties. The western counties average from (> to 8 degrees warmer than the eastern. In Annapolis county, for instance, tlie mercury in the coldest winters I'arcly fells below zero. The coldest season is from the lust week in December until the lirst week of March. The springs are tedious, the summer heals being for a brief season excessive ; vegetation is singularly rapid, and the autumn is delightful. L>e))se fogs are at cer- tain seasons pievalent along the Atlantic coast. Wheat, rye, oats, buckwheat, Indian corn, turnips, mangel wurtzel, and other grains and roots abundance and porfjclion. Apples, pears, jtlums, cherries and otlier garden fruiis attain the utmost perfec- tion. In some sections of the country peaches and grapes ripen in tlie open air. The apple orchards of Annapolis and King's counties are very |)roductive, and extend along tlie roadsides in an un- broken line for 50 miles. The manufactures of Nova "^cotia are yet but very limited. Uo.irse cloths, called "homespuns" are made by tlie pea- santry, and are generally worn by t!iai. class. Coarse flannels, bed linen, blan- kets, carpets and tweeds, are also ma lu- factured. Tanning is carried on to some extent ; and in the towns and villages bootr*, shoes, saddlery, harness, house- hold furniture and agricultural imple- ments are made in large quaatilies. In the neighborhood of llalifax, tdbacc n, printing and wrapping paper, machin- ery, nails, pails, fuse, gunpowder, car- riages, and some other articles are manufactured. The geographical position of Nova Scotia is highly favorable to commer- cial pur3nit3,and as the naturalresources become more fully developed there is no barley, potatoes, tomatoes grow in doubt hercoramerce will very largely i;i. crease. The imports of the i)rovince fur 1872 amounted to $1:2,43:3,747, of which $(>, 113,204 were from England, and ii>[], 090,501 from the United States. Tiie exports during the same period amount. ed to $7,538,401. The largest j.ortion of the exports were drawn from the lisb- ing and mining interests. If we ex- cept Newfoundland. Nova Scotiii may be said to possess the finest fisheries ia the woild. There is no part of it.s coast of 1,000 miles wliere a profitable fishery may not be pursued. Its bays ani harbors, and inland lakes and rivers, teem with salmon, cod, halibut, had- dock, mackerel, herring, siiad, lolwters, &c. 1 he value offish caught iu 1811 amounted to §5,101,030 ; number of men employed in the fisheries, 20,313. Shipbuilding is very extensively en- gaged in in Nova Scotia. In 187-', 188 vessels were built, with an aggregate burllien of 52,882 tons. Tliere are 3i)G miles of railway ia operation in the province. The Inter- colonial proceeds from Halifax to Amherst, 138 miles, and thence to St. John, N.13.: and from Truro to Pictou 52 miles. The Windsor and Annapolis procc ds from Windsor Junction to Annapolis, IIG miles. The extension of the latter road to Yarmouth is ])rojectcd. Another line, to rua from New Glasgow to Louisburg, is also ])rojcclcd. Louisbourg is one of the finest harbors in the Island of (Jape Breton. It is open all the year roumi, and admirably adapted as a winter port. There are two canals in the pro- vince — one from Halifax to Cobequid Bay, and the other connecting St. Peter's Bay, on the Atlantic coast of Cape Breton Island, with Bras d'Or Lake ; length 2,300 feet. Tlie Electric Telegraph is establislicd all over the province, and extends through all the other provinces. .1 message may be sent from Halifax di- rect to California. I he Atlau'.ie Cable | gives Nova Scotia telegraphic coniniii- nication with Europe. The public affairs of the Province j are administered by a Lieutenant Gov- ernor, an Executive Council of 9 mem- bers, aLegislative Council of 21 ineni-j bers, appointed for life, and a Leg*! lative Assembly of 33 inLmbeRf elected every four years. The la>"| NOV 231 NOV are dispensed by a Supremo Court, composed of a Cliicf and 'J assista'.it jus- tices, a Court of En or, of Vico-Adiui- ralty, and of iManiagv and Divorce. In tiicli county there is a Court of Probate, which lias control of the property of deceased [jcrsuus.

In 1G'21, Sir William Alexander applied for and obtained from James I., a grant of tlie whole country, which he proposed to colonize on an extensive scale, and in IG23 the attempt was made ; but the proposed colonists finding the various points where they wished to establish themselves thronged by foreign adven- turers, did not think it prudent to at- tempt a settlement, and therefore re- turned to England. During the reign of Charlesl., the Nova Scotui baronets were created, and their patents ratified in Parliament; they \verc to contribute their aid to tho settlement, and to have p' rtions of land allotted to them ; their number was not to eivceed 150. In U;j4,Cromwell sent an armed force and took posses.siou of the country, which remained with the English till 1GG7, when it was ceded to France by the Treaty of Breda. But the English from time I'o time attacked the French C(do- nists at various poi its, till 1713 when tlie country was finally ceded to Eng- land. In 1703 the Island of Cape Breton was annexed to Nova Scotia. In 1784, the province o£ New Brunswick was created ; and in 18G7, Nova Scotia be- came a member of the Dominion of Canada, ' i ? 5 M H ^1 OAK 232 OHI NOYAN, a post village in Missisquoi CO., Que , near the River Ricbelieu, 2 miles fiom LacoUe.

W. and N. by the North West Territories. Length from S.E. to X.W. about 750 miles, and from N.E. to S.W., about 500 miles. Area, land and inland waters, 107,780 square statute miles, equal to t 8,970,- 372 acres. Area of ti'C Ontario frontier waters of the St. Lawrence and its large lakes about 27,094 square statute miles, or 17,3-10,100 acres. The surface of the. country is gently undulating, rather than mountainous, and is diversified by rivers and lakes. The ridge of high land which enters the province at Niagara Falls extends to Hamilloa, a'.d is continu d to Owen Sound, thence along the peninsula to Cabot Head and through tlie Mani- toulin Islands of Lake Huron. The Laurentia',1 hills run westward from the Thousand Islands, near Kingston, and 'extend north of Luke Simcoe, forming the coast of Georgian Bay and L ike Huron. A main waier-shed separates the waters of the Ottawa from tlio-e of the St. Lawrence ; a minor one divides the streams flowing into Lake S:mcoe, Georgian Buy and Lake Huron, from those flowing into Lakes Erie a. id Ontario. The agricultural resources of the country are very great. The fertile belt extends over thn c-fourths of the present inhabited parts, and a vast area, in the hands of the Gover i- me it, now open for settlement. Im- mense cops of wheat are annually raisi d ; al'» oats, bailey. Indian corn, ry, potatoes, turnips. &c., &c. The apiile orchards of the south western counties are very productive, and pears, plums, grapes, cherries and various kinds of berries thrive lu.xuri- anlly. The climate of Ontario is agree- ably tempered by the proximity of the groat lakes. The winter is considerably shorter and milder than that of Quebec. The principal rivers of O .itario are the tributaries of the Ottawa; the Fnnch, the Maganetawan, the Severn, and the NotUiwasaga falling into Georgiaa B ly ; the Saugeen, the Maiiland, and the Aux Sables, falling into Lake Huron; the Thames, running S.W. into Lako St. Clair ; the Grand, flowingS.E. into Lake Erie; the Trent, in pait of its course called the Otonabee, and th« Moira, flowing S.E. into the B.iy of Quinte; and the Niagara, falling into L.ike Ontario. The mighty St. Law- rence sweeps through the eastern part of the province, from Kingston, and the Ottawa forms part of its N.E. boundary. The lakes of Ontario are numerous and magniflcent. The largest are Lakes Superior, Huron, Ene and Ontario. They cover an area of 80,000 square miles, a.id contain nearly half the fresh water oi tne globe. The minor lakes are Nipigon, Simcoe, Nipissing, and those in the counties north of Lake Ontario, and in the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence rivers. The principal bays are the G.'orgian, Nottawasaga, Owen Sound, Loni,' Point, Burlington and (Quinte. The mineral wealth of ihe country is not surpassed, if indeed it be equalled, by any other in variety and richness. Iron is found in large quantities a short distance back of Lake Ontario, iu the ountry between Georgian Bay and the Ottawa; also, in the same region, copper, lead, ])lumbago, antimony, arse lic, manganese, gypsum, marble of the finest qtuility, and building stone. Gold has also been found in the same region, but not as yet in qnantities sullicient to pay well. On the north shore of Lake Huron are extensive mines of cnpiier, and on the shores of Lake Suiierior, particularly round Thunder Bay, are enormous sil- ver deposits. Amethysts and agates are also found there, as well as uiica, iron, gold, cobalt and bismuth. The petroleum wells in the south westerly part of the province are yielding im- mense and apparently mexhauatible OXT ONT guppliP3, and ^o are tho suit w. lis at Gudc'iicii and Kiiicanliuc. The article is obliii H'd by eviiporuting the brine, and is exceedingly guod for table use, li;iviiig been found, upon cbemic.il aualysis, to be of almost perfect piu.t/. Large peat beds exist in many pans uf the province. Tlie almost unlimited supply of water power lliioiigliout Ontario alfords un- usual faciliues for manufactures to which tliat power is adapted, and ii coiiseqiieace various descriptions of imlusu y are springing up in all direc- tions ; steam power is also used to a large extent. The principal articles munuf.ic- tureil are cloth, linen, furniture, sawn timber, llax, iron and hardware, paper, sua]), siarcli, huts, caps, boots, shoes, leather, cotton and woollen goods, steam eiigiues a.id locomotives, sewing machines^ wooden ware of all descrip- tions, agricultural implements, &c. The settlements in Ontario have hitherto been made souih of the Lauientian range of hills, which was tliought to bound the lands fit for settle- ment, but it has been discovered that beliind liiis ra ige there is another tract of rich agricultural land, as level as the Ht. Lawrence valley and timbered with aheavy growth of mixed white pine and hardwood. These lands are approach- ed by the Northern, iMidland, and Toronto and Nipis^iug railways on the cue hand, and the upper Ottawa on the other. They have tlie basin of Lake Nipissing and tha water shed of the Ottawa for their drainage. Their waters arc in part navigable, and the rest can be made so. iSettlement has already commenced to enter rapidly into this new district, considerable tracts of which have bi'en set aside as free grants to settlers. The railway system has made rapid strides in Ontario during the past 20 yews. 1 1 1852 there was not a single cile ill the wh'ile province, fn 187:3, tliere were 2G78 miles in o[)eration, viz : Grand Trunk, 804 miles ; Great Western and lirunches,4jr) miles ; Can ida South- trn,3llT miles ; Toronto, Gr y and Bruce, 21J miles; Northern, 148 mile.s; Mid- land, 109 miles ; Brockvilleand Ottawa, *!9mik's; St. Lawrence and Ottawa, W miles; Lordon and Port Stanley, 24 miles; Welland, 2.") miles; Canada Central, 28 miles; Cobourg, Peterboro' and Marmora, 25 miles ; Wellington, Givyunil IJruce.iyu miles ; Toronlaand Nipissing, 88 miles; Hamilton and Lake Erie, a5miles; KiugstDnand I'einbioke, 18 miles ; and Whitby and Port Perry, 19 miles. The following muds wore cliarlered, and sonn; of tlicin are in course ol construction : Ontario and Qiicl),'C,— mib'S ; KiuL'ston and i'em- broke, 140 miles; London, liuron and Bruce, 105 miles; Brantronl ami Port Biirwull, 45 miles ; and tiie Canada Paeilic, 2,5ij0 miles ; COO or 700 miles of which will bo in this province. There are several canals in Ontario. The Welland, between L ikes Erie and Ontario, to avoid tho Niagara Falls; tlio llideaii, b.'tween Kingston and Ottawa; and the St. Lawrence canals, rendered necessary by tlie rapids of that river. Two others have been for some lime contemplated, but their construction is doublful.one toco meet Georgian Bay with Lake Ontario; the other to connect Georgian Bay with the Ottawa river. The school system of Ontario is admirable. It affords the children of the rich and poor alike the means of free education. It is under the control of a Chief Superintendent, and ex ends over the whole province. The schools are sujjportedby a tax on property, with some assistance from the Legislature, and are free to all. Each Towns ip is divided into school sections, with a Board of Scho(d Trustees, comjjosed of 3 persons, to each section. This Board emjdoys the teacher a id controls the schpol. There are 53 ins;)ector3 of schools for the entire jjrovince, but no Inspec.^or has the supervision of more tha 1 120 or loss than 50 schools. Thoy are paid partly by the Conned and jmrt- ly by the Government. Tliese gentle- men visit their respective schools twice a year, examine into the stute of educa- tional matters and send an elaborate Report to the Chief Superintendent of the result of their insneciion, and the exact standing of the sch els. Roman Catholic smay, if they think proper, establish separate schools, and are ia such cases exempted from supporting public schools, and receive a separate grant from the G vornnicnt. In 1872 there were 4,598 public schools, (of which KjO were Roman Catholic sepa- rate schools,) with 440,320 pupils \\\ ONT 236 ■ 1 1 f 1 '"^CT' attending tliom. The amount of money expended in tlicir support was $1,814,- 821. The ttcliool Aclof 1871 has given an immense impetus to public school educiition, and il is confidently be- lieved that llie year immediately fol- lowi ig it: juisSiige will show a much greater iuereiwe in educational statis- tics tiiau h L5 yet been known The high (formerly grammar) schools of Ontario nuinher 102, with 7,490 pupils. They are pr neipally oonliiied to citii'S, tow Hi iiiid villiigi's. Pupils enter them from the public si hools, and tiience to colic'xe and tiie univerrfity. The Nor- mal lSe!i0'd at Toronto is designeil to perfect teaciiiTS in their profession, and to show I hem the best method of teach- ing. U[)W;l^d^ of 300 young men and women attend itaniiiially. The system of Teachers Certiiicate is as follows; There is a Central Hoard of Kxaminers at Toronto, whicli issues 1st class cortifieates alone. Each County has a li)cal Bv)ard of K.xamlncrsfor the grant- ing of liiid and 3id class certilicates. There are two examinations per annum, the pai)e''a being got up by the Central Board and sent sealed ui» to tiie local Boards. Any candidate who fancies justice has not been done to him may appeal to tlio Education Department. Of late years the status of teacliing qtiali- ficatious has greatly increased. There are 17 Protestant universities and colleges, a id 3 Roman Catholic c A- leges in Ontario. Private schools are few, and g.Mierally in cities a id large towns. Tiie total number of Educa- tional Institutions in Ontario, in 1^72, was .^),0 )4, with 4');5,057 pupils, and a total amount available for educational pur])i>ses of $2,G'J;),570. Tiie municipal system of Ontario is among t!ie nio^t perfect in the world. All religions arc free without State pre- ference. There are numerous piildic institu- tions t'rongho'.it the provinco, chicflv under control of tiie Government.

Theprovinceof itariocont.iinsinany objocts of interest to the tourist.

The scenery surrounding this fall, although lessextensivOjVies it grandeur and sublimity with that of Niagara. la beholding it, the spectator is inspired with equal awe, the princli)al features are oq|ually stnki.ig, while the deep in- tonation is more sensible than that of its rival, and has a nearer resemblance to the roar of distant thunder and the rumblings of an earthquake. The existence of Upiter Canada as a distinct province can be dated only from the year 1791, previous to which it formed part of the old Province of Quebec Major General J. G. Simcoe was the first Lieutenant Governor appointed, and the first Parliament met at Niagara on September 17, 1702. In 1820, dissensions of a political nature arose in Lower Canada, which went on increasing in intensity year by year, deepened by the national prejuiiice of the French and English colonists to each other, until, in 1834, it extended to Upper Canada, and finally terminated in insurrections in both iirovinces in 1837. These were, however, quickly suppressed. The result of these pro- ONT 238 ONT cccdlnpfl •was the rrunltin^ of the nroviiiccs, wliicli took phico in 1H40. In lHii7, under tlio Act of (confede- ration, Upper Canada was or cted a provi'ice, under the name ofOntario. It is the most popuhxiH jirovinco n tlie Dominion, havinf^ a popuhition, aceord- inj? to the census of 1H71, of l,(>'J<>,8r)l. Tlic liuiiiiuH in Ontario, as far as known, number about l.'i,UOO. A wiiik was published in 1803, en- titled " Ki^^hly Years' Projyress of IJritisii Norili America," in which an exceeiliM^lv iiitercstiuf^ artich; from the Tien of T. 0. Keefer, C.E., describes in lively and animated hmffiiai^o the aspect Upper Canada presented in 1777, only 14 years before it was erected into ft Province. '* Ujiper Canada was at that jteriod in possession of the Northern Iroquois, a confederation of the most warlike of the native tribes; and there are 'those yet living who remember when — save the fewtaniilies around the prec nets of the old French forts — not a white man could be found over all tlie vast area of Canada West. Toronto was then an I idian village, whose warriors speared the yalt wiitcr salmon in her harbor, or chased the deer through the county of York ; and their squaws then paddled canoes among the rice beds of the smaller lakes, and threshed out the wild grai iS over the g nwales of their canoes. In the Wester 1 peninsula the noble elk herded upon the prairies of 8t. Clair, or roamed over the oak forests, untroubled by the sound of the settler's axe, and swam the waters where paddle and screw, barque and brig now plow their busy way. Myriads of wild pigeons from the South annually in- vaded the beech woods and bore down the branches by their weight ; thou- sands of black sqiurrels trom the East swam the broad Niagara, and march- ed westward in extended line ; while flocks of gorgeously clad turkeys and plump breasted quails stalked solemnly along the wild pathways of the forest, undisturbed by the hoarse roar of the locomotive. In every narrow valley and upon every living streamlet the labo- rious beavers arrested the rich alluvion and prepared rich meadows for the flocks and lierds of the red man's suc- cessors. The hunter and the hunted have exterminated each other." Ancrroneoug impression prevails, not only on the continent of Kurojie, Itutiii Great Britain, that the Uritish .Vorih America! Colonies recently cuiile,|(.f. ated have been comi)lelely oclips i| jq growth of population and material ro- sources by other communities similurly circumstanced ; nevertl'eless it can bo demonstrated with almost the aceir.iry of a mathematical problem that in llnir aggregate character these colonies luive maiiUained the highest standard of l)rogres3, while in om instance, tlnUof the Province of Ontario, historical re- cords and census returns can be aJdU' ced to prove beyond contradiction that she has kept pace with the most iini' bilious and successful of her competi- tors, and can comjiara favorably with the most prosperous States in the American Union. A statist who draws his inferencej from accumulated data, finds liimself fortified in his conclusions when depict ing a country in the possession of a salubrious climate and a grateful soil- inhabited by ft population industriuus and enterprising, proud of their colon- ial connection, needing no anny for their protection, only asking time and opportunity to conquer the wilderness, and with a firm belief in their glorious destiny. He takes uptheirstatlslicalre- t'lrns and finds that Ontario has grown from 120,000 in 18.")1 to 1,020,851 in 1871, thus repeating herself twelve times in fifty years; and looking into the future, sees no obstacle to pri'vent her attain- ing ft jjopulation of ten millions before the close of another century. This anticipation is not extravagant, because it is based on the assumption of an annual increaso of two per cent, whereas the results for the two last decades exceed that ratio, as the follow- ing figures demonstrate : Population in 1851 952,004 " " 1801 1,390,095 " " 1871 l,G2i),8Jl Whereas, had the increase of popula- tion been restricted to 2 per cent, per an- num, the figures would then have been: Population in 1851 952,004 " " 1861 1,1:52,404 " « 1871 1,370,884 Thus while according to the census the actual population in 1871 was 1,,a43. The surplus savings accumulated since 18G7,and invested in !ntorcst-b;'aring securities, exceed four millions an),o7j acres were given away toactual settlers, besides a bonus of :$,r, by the Government toearhadultemiir,;uii who entered ami resided three mouths in tliat 1 rovince, and arrangements Imvo Deeii made to turn the tide of .Scandi- navian migration towards the vast iinocciiiMed forest lands a»oiind Niiijs- sing, Georgian I5ay, and tiie shores of J^akes Huron and .Superior, wlare a )rightcr sun and more grateful soil will banish the regrets of the emigrants, and reward their industry. No language can convey so vivid a picture of the jirodigioiis strides in pop- ulaiion aid civilization of counties, .-v |v'w years since wild and unlcninted, like the present Nipissing regi;,n, as the passionless figure nf the census. In lH-( the Huron coiin ly was an unbro- ken wilderness ; in IMl'l the counties of Huron, Perth and iJriue counted only j>,0'.iO inhabitants ; in 1H.-)1 the number had risen to ;!7,nM0; whilo in 1871 the enumeration was Itil,21(i; beingnearly tlurty fold wi ,n thirty s,.ars, a rate (if pro/ress rarely paralleled aiiKuigst a population exclusively devoted to a-rri- culture, and without the attractions of manufacturing centres.

It is divided into Ui)per and Lower Town by the Rideau Canal, which connects it with Kingston. Tue locks here are eight in number and are very massive. The town was founded in 1827 by Col. By, R.E. It was incorporated a ( ity, and its name changed to Ottawa, in 1854, and selected by Queen Victoriaas the capital of Canada in 1858. The chief attraction in Ottawa is tho government buildings, which occupy an elevated piece ot ground, ab Jut 25 acres in extent and 150 feet above the river, known by tho name of " Barrack Hill." The view from this natural ter- race is superb. The great river with its moving rafts, steamers, bargc.=i, and canoes rolls swiftly on through splendid hill ranges towards the south. In the distance the fine suspension bridge which spans the majestic river just above the Chaudiere Falls attracts the eye, even thouirh it be tempted to rest upon the Avild beauty of the cascade sweeping by craggy rocks between abrupt islands, and plunging into the basin below, where part of its waters disappear in a mysterious way. Far beyond the cascade glitters the broavl river swifily rushing down the rapius DesChenes; and in the remote back- ground rise towering hills and moun- tains, often brilliant with purple and gold whe 1 tlie sm dips from view and gilds their lovely summit with his parting beams. The government buildings, the cor- ner stone of which was laid by PI. R. II. the Prince of Wales in September, 18G0, are constructed of a light color- ed sandstone found in the township of Nepeau, in the valley of the Ottawa. Tlie walls and arches are relieved with cut stone dressings of Devonian sand- stone from Ohio and with red sandstone from Potsdam, N.Y". The roofs are coveredvvith pur|de and green slateSj.ind the pinnacles ornamented with wrought iron castings. The style of architec- ture is tlie Italian gothic, and the south front of tlic qiuidrangle is formed by the Parliament b Hiding, 500 feet in length. Tlie two departmental build- ings are 375 feet long. The rear '« open and will be railed off with a sui- table ornamental screen. The com- mittee rooms occupy the front of the 17 • 1 I' J I- I I »3 OTT 242 OVE buildinsr. The library, a beautiful detached circular building, with a dome 90 feet hiffh, is in the rear of the central tower. U50 feet high. The two legislative halls are on each side of the library, but in the main building. The dimensions of these halls are the same as those of the House of Lords, namely, 80 feet by 45 ; they are situat- ed on the ground flo jf and lighted from above. Tlic 1 ibrary is constructed after the plan of the new library of the British Museum, and will hold 300,000 volumes. The two deiiartmental build- ings contain in the aggregate 300 rooms, and are intended to accommo- date all iho departments of tlie govern- ment of the Dominion ; and are socon- Btructcd as to be capable of extension at any future time without injuring the general architectural effec". The buildings cover nearly four acres, aud cost about $4,000,000. Bes des the above magnificent build- ings Ottawa contann 17 churches, viz.: Church of England 3; Church of Rome 4; Presbytena.i 2; Church of Scotland 1 : Wesleyan Methodist 2 ; Episcopal MethodIrit2; Congregation- alist 1 ; Baptist 1 ; Catholic Apostolic 1 ; 9 printing odices, several flouring mills, and large saw mills; and has manu- factories of iron castings, mill machine- ry, agricultural implements, brooms, bncks^ leather, wooden ware, &c., and agencies of two telegraph and a num- ber of assurance and insurance compa- nies, and 7 banks. Five daily news- papers are published in Ottawa, The streets of the city are lighted with gxs. Adjacent to Ottawa are several thriving villages, among others Now Edinburgh and Hull. "Rideau JIall," the residence of the Governor General, is in the former place. It is a hand- some stone structure, with 35 acres of well laid out grounds, and beautiful avenues of shaded trees. A street rail- wav conncc 3 these villages with Ottawa. The city returns two members to the House of Commons and two to the Provincial Lcgislatitre.

'Pre- vious to 1825, Peterborough was known as Indian Plain or Scott's Landing. It was covered with scattered oaks and small brush, and was on the portngc to Lake Cnemong, the head of the Otonabee navigation. In that year Col. Peter Robinson, of Newmarket, (a brother of the late Chief Justice of Ontario,) was sentoutby Earl Bathiirst in c'.:arge of 2,000 emigrants. He con- ducted them from the south of Ireland to the Indian Plains, whcio he en- oamped them and subsequently settled tiicm in the neighboring townships. Col. Robinson then lived in a tent on a rising ground close to the river side, and one day at a dinner party which he gave in his tent the question arose what name to give the future town. R was then decided that it should be called Peterborough, after Col. Robin- son. There were presetit at tlioflinner the Hon. Thomas A.Stewart, Mr. Alex. McDonald, Dr. Reid, of Perth, Mr. Syd- ney Bellingiuira, M.P. for Argcntouil, and one or two others. The name was adopted and Col. Robinson gave orders that it should be laid out in town and park lots, and promised each ol his guests a. town and park lot. The land upon which the town stands Avas then valued at $1 an acre.

JOHNS ISLAND, a Province of the Dominion of Canada, situjvtcd in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, between 41^ and 47' 7 N. lat., and 02' and 64^ 27 W. Ion. It is washdd by the Gulf on the N., and separated by Northumberland Strait from New Brunswick on the E. and Nova Scotia on the S. Greatest length 130 miles ; breadth, 34 miles — in its narrowest part, near the centre, it is only 4 miles wide. Aroa, 2,134 miles, or 1,305,760 acres. The coast lino pre- sent:H a remarkable succession of large bays and projecting headlands. Of the latter the most promiicnt are North Cape on the N.W., West Cape on the S.W., and East Cape on the N.E. ; the largest bay-^ are those of Richmond on the N.W , Egmout on the S.W., Ilillsbor n g i on the S., and Cardigan on tlic E. Those bays, by ppnetrating into the land from opposite directions, form narrow isthmuses which make a natural division of the Island into three distinct peninsulas. This natural division has been adopted as the basis of a nearly corresi)oncling civil division into Prince's county iu the W,, Queen's county in the centre, and King's county in the E. The surface of Prince Edward Island undulates gently, nowhere rising so high as to become niountaiuuus or sinking so low as to form a monotonous flat. At one time the whole iJanl was covered with a dense forest oi beech, birch, maple, poplar, s])ruie, fir, hemlock, larch and cedar ; and though destructive lires, lumbering and cul- tivauon have made large gaps in it, a considerable part of the original forest still remains. The whole Island is eminently agricultural and pastoral. Tlie soil consists generally of a light reddish loam, sometimes approaching to a strong clay, but more frequently of a light and sandy texture. The prevailing rock is a reddish sandstone, but a large part of the surface is allu- vial and entirely free from stone. Xo minerals of the least consequcnea have yet been discovered, and even lime- stone and gyi)sum ai)pear to ho want- ing. The climate is much milder than that of the adjoining continent, and the air, generally fieo from the fogj which spread alo.ig tlic shores of Nova Scotia, is remarkably salubrious. The wi.iter is loag and cold; but the sum- mer, without being oppressively hot, h eminently fitted to promote the growth and maturity of all the ordinary cereals. The principal crops are wheat, barley and oats, all of these abunda it and of excellent quality; pease and beaiis arc equally good, and potatoes ami turnips are nowhere surpassed. The land not cultivable consists of soft, spongy turf, or a deep layer of wet, black mould, which may prove valuable for fuel. The lisheries are very valuable, especial- ly on the north coast, which is much frequented by mackerel and cod. The manufactures are chiefly for domcsiic use. Shipbuilding is prosecuted withj considerable entf^rprise. The public affairs of Prince Edward! Island are administered by a Lieutenant Governor, an Executive Couicil of9J members, a Legislative Council ofl3j members, and a Legislative Assembly ofl 30 representatives. Justic' is ndminis-i tered according to the laws of EnsrlaniLl The total population of the Island! in 1871 was 94,021, an increase ofl 13,100 since 1801, and of 80,921 since ill first became a British possession (li58.)J i The fi tics, w Conn, J'riuc Tlicsi towns!) inhabit; h'cot:isl lish, an Till diiccd i district various model sc ofW.'ilcs (i'loniau tlie Uhv. ]uiblic Rc The L exercises Inland, one Diocc Tlie rel province, lb'71, are Church Cluirch o PrPhl)ytPi Wcsleyui napiists.. ■ Itibk' Clir Other ['rc Quukers . , Prince Ef Mmiiiunica America an marine cah noctingthe In 1872 1 connect Chi cipal places Dieiiced.

The progress of its aggrandizement was !-low, in consequence of the hostilities of the powerful Iroquois. In 11)29 it f.ll into the hand.? of theEnglisli; but. with the whole of Canada, was restored to the French in 1G32. From tlii3 ])eriol some attention was paid to the iucreasa of the city ; and in KiGS, when the Colony was made a royal government, it became the capital. Jn 1G90 the English attempted to reconquer it, but mot with a disxstroua defeat ; but in 17.59 it was captured by the brave General Wo fe, and has since bcei under the British Crown. An unuiccossful attempt was made by the Americans to carry the city by assault on the niglit of December 31, 1775, when General Montgomery was slain.

Below Montreal it receives, oa the rigiit, the Richelieu river, having its source iu Lake Champlain ; the St. Francis, rising in Lake Memplaema- gog ; and tho Chaudiere, the outlet of Lake Megantic ; and, on the left, the St. Maurice, tho Batiscan and the Saguenay rivers, from 200 to 400 miles 111 length. Tiio latter is tho outlet of the large and beautiful Lake St. John. The climate ot Quebec, though .similar to that of Ontario, is colder in winter imd warmer in summer. Spring burdls forth in greatbeauty. and vegetationis mpid. In winter the cold is generally steady; and the atmosphere is clear and bracing, which renders the slcipliiiig very agreeable and pleasant. Winter generally commences the latter end of November and lasts until tlio end of March. During the winter months the trees are oftentimes covered with frost. Nothing can bo imagined more beauti- ful and brilliant than the effect of sun- shine on a calm day on the frozen boughs, where every particle of the icy crystals sparkles, and nature seems decked in diamonds. The sod is gen- erally rich and adapted to the growth ot cereals, hay and green crops Apples and plums grow in abundance The greater portion of the province is covered by forests consisting cliieliy of white and red pine. Numero'.is quantities of this timber are annually sent to England The other kinds ut' timber are ash, birch, beech, elm, hick- ory, black walnut, maple, cherry, hut- ternut, basswood, spruce, fir, &c On the 30th of June,] 872, there were r),89-l,- 018 acres of Crown Lands surveyed QUE 2G and 101), 1 loaily to bo diaposoil of, ami over niUV"''> iicros yet uiisurveyc'(l.

The timber lirai:3 of Gagpo only ac- (piired a commercial value within tlie last few years, but now they are at- t'acting attention, a-id beginumg to bring in a revenue. Timber limits vary in size according to the standing of the le.s-ees, many ot the large lumbering est.iblishments holding iiundreds of tquur miles. The Governments of Ontario and Quebec never relinquish their i)roprietary rights; they invariably retai'i iha fond ov i)ro|)netary riglit; merely leasing the nsufnict. For- merly the leases were of short duration and at very moderate rates, but experience taught the Crown L:\nd Uepartments that, under long leases, the limit holders would have a direct pecuni.ary interest in protecting the fjrests from disastrous fires, and judiciously selecting their annual cut- tings, so as to permit the growth of the young timber. Under the existingsy.5tem of granting licenses, the leases con'unuein force for twenty-one years, with tho right of I 1: QUE 2G8 QLk renewal at such bonus as tlie Commis- sio K'vs nia^ sti[)uhite when the lease exi)irc'S. Thirty years siiico, two dollars per square mile was regarded as a liigh rate to jiay jiersqiiare mile for a timber limit, ))iit the raks liave advanced so rapidly, CO. ise(iuent on tlic United States demand fir Imnber, that thirty and thirly-live doUars were freely jiaid in 1872 jicr squiire mile, for twelve hun- dred miles. The thirty dollars is a Iirimo (-r bonus for a twenty-one years' ease, l):it there are annual charges at- tnci.i! g to each mile of 1 rait worked, called ground rent and stumriage, amountiug to some four dollars l>er square mile per annum. In 1872, Quebec had 703 miles of rail- Way in operation ; HDJ miles in course of couslruction ; and 252 miles for which charters had been granted. The rail- ways in operation were, the (Jrand Truiik and branches, the Montreal a id Vermont Junction, Stansteail, ShefTord and C'hanibly, South Eastern, ^lontreal, Chanhly and Sorel, Intercolonial, Mas- eawipi)! Valley, Gosford (wooden), and St. Lawrence and Industry; those in course of construction were the Inter- colonial (to be completed in 187 1), Levis and Kennebec, St. Francis and Lake Megantic, Northern Colonization ; and those chartered were the North Shore, Montreal and St. Li;i, and Richmond, Melbourne and Missisquoi. The j)rovince, as regards civd matters, is divided into parishes, town- ships, counties and districts. AVhenever anew district is sufiiciently populous to f )nii a parish, the Roman Catliolic Diocesan Bishop, upon the requisition ot a majority of the inhabitants, orders its caii'inical erection into a parish. By a iiroeeedmg somewhat analogous the civil authorities order the civil erection of mnnicipal corporations. The town- ships are ot HInglish origin. After the cessio 1 of Canada to (ireat Britain, the Englis'i la^id system of lioldin r in fr-'c a-ul common soccago was instituted for the feudal system upon allCrown Lands, and then the township took the jdaee of the sei;riiiory. The regular limiis of a townidiij) are ten miles square, or 100 Buperlicial mil -s. Such town>hips as are not sub-divided into ])ar;s!ies pre- serve for all municipal or other pr.rposes their legal limits. The counties were established for tho purposes of represen- tation, each county having tIierig!iito send one member to the Iloase of Com. mons every five years, and one to the Local Legislalii'"- every four years. Ja addition to this each county forraa a registration division for regi.straiion of mortgages.&c. The parish aud townsliip municipalities ccanprised in a cjiintj form what i., called a county municipal- ity. The ])rovince is divided into 65 electoral districts, viz : Counties. Pop.

The commerce of ihe province is greatlj' facilitated l)y several canals wln'cii avoid tlie most violent rapids of tlieSt.Lawre'.ice.

The province contains many grand and beautif(il objects of interest to the tourist. The Ottawa and its tributaries abound in falls and rapids of an exceedingly jucturesque character. A ■■ccnding thi^ stream a little above Rigaiul you have Carillon Falls, a series of rapids 12 miles in length. Near Ottawa city a branch, called the Ilideau, jiours its waters down a per- pendicular bed of blue limestone, 50 feet, into the 0;tawa. The Cliaudiere Falls, (the lu'Iian name of which is Kanajo, " the B'>iling Pot,') in the same vicinity, are wild and grand. The Fall in no place exceeds 40 feet, but the rapids extend 6 miles, and the water foams, tosses, and tumbles among rocks of every shape, in j^rpetual variety, and in such a manner as never to weary tlie eye, ai>pearing like a, mul- titude uf dill'erent streams " struggling for a passage." An excellent view of tiie whole is had from a fine suspension bridge over the Ottawa. One portion of the river is separated from tlie main stream, and falls into a subterranean passage. \Vhen tliis part of C nada was an unbroken wilderness, an enter- prising American named Pliilemon Wright cstablislied hii'-..-3, iich sidi', over the 3t or ?aw the lost ii;^ma ha A theont- the otlKT nictod lit Lher SPri'.M llLTUp, lire r, at liifrli ilistlncl river to a .hese scpa- plivces, bo are very 1 worthy )urist.

ThO province is said to have been diiCJvered by Scba:5tia.i Cabot in 1 t'J7 ; but the lirst sotlleniont made by E'.iro- pwas was in 1541, near tjueljuc, by Jacques Cartier, a French navi;^a- U, who sailed up the Ht.

Tui.s gr,)up is described as t'le Ivle i (.'f the Xorth Pacilic. The climate is so delicious, caused in some degree by the Heated river, or ihi Pacihc tiulf stream, that skirts tlie coast of Japan and with a speed of 80 miles every 24 hours runs N. and washes the coast of British Columbia. The Queen Char- lotto Islands teem with various mineral products. Gold bearing quartz of very rich quality was extracted at a point called MitcheL's H irbur, as far back as 18r)2. Copper and iron ores exist ; and a line vein of Anthracite coal, of a superior quality, has been partially wrought, but tlie working is at pn'.-ent suspended for want of capital.

In IGl 1 Samuel de Champlain cont' mplat- ed. settling upon it with his family, as described in the Iliatoire de fa Volonie Frunraise en Canada, par/e 127, tome 1, as follows : " I'roche de la Place Royale (Mon- treal), et an fleuve St. Laurent, il rcn- contra une pf^tite ile que sa situation et elevation semblent avoir fortifiee natu- Hi!

It will thus be seen from the above extract the opinion formed by Samuel de Champlainof tlic natural features ot this island as a place of security and defence, and there is every reason to believe thai the early Jesuit raisiion- aries sought refuge here from the fero- cious attacks or the Iroquois, \s\\o ftjtcoeded all other tribes of the Abori- gines in savage and unrelenti ig barba- rities in their treatme.it of European aettlcrs, and the lluroiis and other ti-ibes disposed to be friendly to the stranger. It was also a depot for pro- risions, arms and stores, wliile settle- ments were forming on the mai i land St. Helen's Island is considered of great importance by military mcnasadefeiice of the commercial metropolis of the Donii lion The dilliculty of approach by an enemy is almost insurmount ible — the shallowness of (he St Lawrence in certain parts of the basin in front of the city of Montreal, and the force of the cMrrent corabi leu, render the pas- sage intricate and dilHcuIt even to the expc'ricuced mlots of the steam forry steamers The difliciilty of accj->s in tiie easi channel between the island and the mainland is slill greater This beaniifal island is the property of the Dominion Government, and occupied by a com^iany of Canadian Arnllery- men.

The whole (-f the elevated portion of the city consists of solid rock, which, for the purpose of f )rming tolerable streets?, has had in some places to be excavated to a depth of 30 and 40 feet. The buildings are chiefly of brick and ■tone, and many of the public edilices have an elegant appearance. The principal ones are St. Mary's Cathedral, ?R.C.,) Lunatic Asylum, City Hospital Court House and Gaol, .Marine Hospitiu! Peniteatiary.Alms House, Male Orphan Asylum, Academy of Music, Dramatic Lyceum, Mechanics' Institute, Skating Rink, and the Barracks.

The passage W. of the island has in it 10 feet of water, that to the £. 16 feet, and abreast of Ills city there are from 8 to 22 fatlioms; both sides of the entrance arc com- Sosed of sharp rocks, which become ry at low water. About I of a mile N. 'of t!ie lighthouse is a vertical beacon, fi.iced on the edge of a rocky ledge which forms the W. side of the channel and has deep water close to it. Ontbe E. side of the channel, below the town, a breakwater has been conslrudedto intercept the violence of the waves, occasioned by southerly gales. The entrance of the River St. John into the liaibor about 1^ miles above tlie city, is thriMigh a foclcy gorge, 90 yards wide and 400 yards long, occasioning very remarkable falls. The ordinary rise of the tide in the harbor is 21 feet; at the vernal equinox it rises 25 feet At low water, the waters of the river are about 12 feet higher than those of the harbor, at high water the waters of the harbor are 5 feet higher than thow St. J 297 St. J ranee.

W hen the waters of the harbor and river are on a level vessels can ])a8s the falls, and this can be etfccted only during a period of 15 or 20 minutes ai each ebb and How of the tide At times of great freshets, occasioned by the sudden meliing of the snow, the tides do not rise to the level of the rivi-r, and cotiscquently it is not possible for vessels to ascend the h\\. The depth of the fall is about 17 feet. Spanning the rocky gorge, about 100 feet above low water, is a niaf^nili- ccnt suspension bridge i;40 feet in length. iMUulKjr of dwellings in St. Johninl^72, ;<,47».

Charlevoix. in 1720, thus speaks of it : " Most ot our geographers have placed a town here, wiiere there never was but one French house and some huts of sav- ages, who resorted hither annually to trade with the French when the navi- gation was free ; the missionaries made use of the opportunity, and when the trade was over, the merchants retimed to their homes, the savages to their forests, and the Gospel labourers fol- lowed the last Tadousac contains lereral grist and saw mills, and has a large lumber trade Salmon and other fish are plentiful in the waters here.

So much for the early records of Anlico:Ui. Wiicu the foudal system became abolislicd, wliicii had long pre- vailed under Iho KrcncU domination of Canada, there b^i ig no tenants on the island, the 3eigneur,or lord of his manor, became possessed of the whole soil in fee simple, since which time it has been held jointly by a vaiiely of persons, cbii f amongst wliom arJ the Forsyth family. The title to this immense possession s^ems to have been fidly acknowledged by the Parliament of Ca- nada, as an act was passed during the last session (in the spring of 1873) in- corporating a company to developo the resources of the island. Anticosti sloi)es gradually from its elevated northern coast to the grassy savannas which skirt the southern shore, and tiius, in a great measure, the fertile portinns of the country are pro- tected from severe winter Minds. Its climate is very healthv, and it certainly is not severer tlian that of the other maritime provinces. The atmosphere is pure and clear, and i'rce from fogs which are so frequent on and around Newfoundland. The winter's cold is considerably tempered by the waters of the Gidf of I'^t. Lawrence, and the heat of summer is, to a certain extent, mode- rated by the same i illuence. Vegetation progresses very ra[)i(lly, and crops come to perfection in good season. The soil is of good quality, 1 eiug a rich loam intermixod with limestone: valuable forests arc io be found on the greater part of the island, and although the timber generally is not of the largest size, ii is cf a superior quality, and well adapted f jr ship-building. JThe fisheries around the island, which have been hitherto comparatively neg- lected, arc valuable and important. Speaking of them Commander Lavoie, of La CanadiennCj in his report, in 1870, tp the Dominion Government, says: " This island is begiiming to be frequent* ed and settled hy liardy lidlicinQeri tempted by llie desire of participating in its rich fisherie-i, which up lutiicWt few years were, CDUiparaiively, unex- plored. . . . Tlie imporiaace ami value of its lishericj have iucroospd along with the number of lisliormcn. The waters bordering on Anticosti are stocked with tlie same kinds as are to be met with on the south and nortlj coast of the St. Lavvrcnce. " In his report for last year (1872) Com- mander Lavoie saya, '• Large slioiiU of herrings visit its shores about the same time tlicy repair to Pleasant Bay, Alajf- dalen Islands. A schooner, IVoni Prince Edward Island, caught last spring willi the seine 1,100 barrels of herrings in one day." He goes on to say, " Tiie whole of Anticosti abounds with lish of all sorts, but harbors are scarce, even for lishing boats. Cod lish on this coast are all large, and no liner are seen even on the Miscou and Orphan lia iks." The number of fishermen frequenting its banks increases every year. Even when codfish was a lailure everywhere else in the Gull, it did not fail at Anticosti. Halibut are so plentiful that 199 barrels were taken in one day. The seal fishery, which could be carried on here as well in winter as in summer, might be turned i.o profitable account, large numbers of these animals being visible during the former season, and thousands of them being observed in the summer and autumn at tbc entrance of almost all the bays and rivers.where they remain comparatively unmolested. Hunting on the island is of consider- able value, though of far less import- ance than its fisheries. Tlie animals, whose skins are of marketable value, which are found on the island, arc blacli bears, which are very abundant, otters, martens, and the silver, gn y, red, blad, and, sometimes, the white fox. Great quantities of ducks, geese, and other wild fowl resort to the lakes and the bays of the island. There are numerous natural harbors round the coast, which are compara- tively safe in all winds— Ellis Bay and Fox Bay being especially so. Thf former is distant about eight miles fiom West End Lighthouse on the south side, the latter is fifteen miles from THE 331 THB be frequent* lislicrmcn, ivrticipating \) lu the liiiil voly, unix- ii-'.uucc aiui c increased f lisliermcn. ^nlioosti arc Is us are. to i and north i> (1872) Com- •gt!

Fox l!ivy is smaller, the distance across its month is only one mile and a half, with deep water in the centre, extending up the bay nini-ienths of a mile, but shoaling near the shores of it; the whole Icnglli of the bay being one mile and two- tenths. Ml". Gainache, who has resided at Ellis Buy for upwards of twenty-five years, stiites the harbor to be perfectly k'cure in all winds and at all i)eriods. A gintleineu from England, in 1853, a member of Lloyd's,who visited the island to inspect a vessel which had been wrecked on the coast, declared he cm- sidered the harbor a " most excellent one," so much so that he should, on hia return to England, make it especially known at Lloyd's, and added further, that there are many places in England, and other countiies, carrying on large maritime commerce, which have not got sodecp, so spacious or so safe a harbor ai Ellis Bay. This gentleman hadb^en three times round the world as captain oianEiist Indiaman. Thee.xcellent positi m of Anticosti in regard to ships, commerce, &c., is easily ??en, wlien we remember that cve-ry vessel must take one or other of the channels formed by the island, whether having passed from the Atlantic, or in- tending to pass to the oceai througli the straits of liAlo Islo, through ih'^ more frequented passage between New- foundlan'l and Cape Breton, or through the Gut of Ciinso, or whether runni ig between Quebec and those portions of Canada and of the raaritimo provinces lying on the Gulf of 8t. Law.ence. Vefsels taking either of the channels formed by the position of the islanl must pass close t') the island in con- Jequenceof the comparative narrowness of the northern one, and of the strong southeast current which always runs ilongthe southern channel. To avoid tliis, and tlie risk of being driven on the rock-bnund coast of the south shore of the Gulf and river, vessels generally stand out till they make the West Point of Anticosti, close 'o Ellis Bay. The inner anchorage of this bay has a depth of from three to four fathoms at low titer, with very excellent holding ground (gravel and mud) ; the enter portion of the anchorage could be ma- terially improved at a triHing i'Xi)ense,3o ns to be able to contain in salety. during all winds, almost any number ot vessehn of the largest size. If docks were con- structed at Ellis' 13av, with a paie it slip, it would be an auniinihh? position for the repair of vesscl-i stranded or dam- aged throughout the Lower 8t. Law- rence, many of which are now broken up by the sea or disniantlt-il by wreckers b'jforc assistance can be obtained from Quebec. For steam tugs < niployed for the relief of vessels in distress, this might be made an excellent station; here, also, a few stcamrrs or gunboats could command the two entrances to tlie river, or send out from this con- venient and cen'ral spot cruisers to any part of the Gulf. The establishment of depots of coal at Ellis Bay and Fox River wo ildbo an advantage the importance of which it would be hard to estimate, coal being easy procurable from ova .Scotia, anU laid down at cither h.'irl);)r at a cost not exceeding from So.')') to $4 per ton. Considering the fact that upwards of 2,000 vessels annually arrive from Eiurope in the season, besi ies a largo Hect of coasting and lishing vessels, all of which must ])a33 within siglit of the island, some idea can bo formed of the importance to be attached to the posi- tion and cai)abiliiies of tlieso harbors for commercial purposes. Tii'i company wliic'i has beon formed for the purpose of colonizing the inland of Anticosti, and for workiiig and de- veloping its resoure:^s, y)ropo?e to lay out town sites at EH's Bay, Fox Bay, and at the South \Ve:.t Point. The chief town will be at Ellis Ba.y, where the principal place of business will b3 establislied. The beautiful situa- tion of the first of these jjlacea, with its bracing sea-air, ra.ist eventu- ally make it a resort for thou- sands of pleasure->eek.'rs, .since sea- lathing could there be combined with many other summer sports and amuse- ments. The capital of the company is $2,500,000, divided into 25,'iOl) slians of ii^lOOeach. The island is to be divided into twenty coimtie-, of about 120,000 acres each, sub-divided into five town- ships. It is further prop'^sed to lay a submarine telegraph cablo to connect !|i THE 332 THE the island with tlio mainland ; to build suw-iniils uikI grijt-utiiid, eaiublioh a bunk mid a Kciieral liuiioital, cliurclics and BC11U0I3, uiid to estublisli, muicovcr, five iijiiing stutiuus, in diitm-nt parts of tbe island, wliere temporary buildinj^g aro tu bu erected for curing and drying fisli. Operations and improvements of siicli a kind liave cverywliere bad tiic must benelicial result 'upon the industry, wcallli and jirogress of tlje country in whicii tiiey wore attempted, and wilh tbe gn.'iit resources and favourable pcogruphical pcsitio'i of the Island of Aniicosli, llurc is no reason to doubt that they will be attended there with similar results. Sir William E. Logan, in his Geo- gra|>hic:il li^'port of Canada, ufcer refer- mg to deposits of neat, or peat-bosrs, in diifercnt parts of Canada, says: " The most ext'Misive peat deposits in Canada aro found in Anticosti, along the low land on the coast of the island from Ilcath Point to witliin eight or nine miles of South West Point. The thick- bcss of the peat, as observed on the coast, was f. om three to ton feet, and it ar)peixro to bo ot an excellent quality. The hciglitof this plain may be, on an avcrago, fifteen feet abovf> high water mark, and it can be easily drained and woi-kod. Between South West Point and the west end of the Island there are many peat-bogs, varying m sup; r- ficies from 100 to 1,OUO acres." Near Snith West Point there arc sever d large salt ponds, which, if labor was abundant, might bo turned to a pro- fitable account in the manufacture of salt, a maniif.icturo which would become of some value to a great p.. rt of our North American fisheries, which, as well as the greater part of Canada, are now supplied with salt from the Baha- mas, and from England or the United States ; and for curing fish and provisions, bay salt, formed from the sea and from sail ponds, is the most valuable. In consequence of there not having been a suflicient supply of salt upon the island, an immense quantity of fish caught at Anticosti a year or two ago were rendered useless. This was alluded tp by Commander Lavoic, of " La Canadiennc," in his report for 1371, where ho says that " fishing was abundant this season, the yield bdtng reckoned at 9,500 quinttli of cod, . . . but the Ki'oateit drawback arose from the diilicultj ezpericitced in curing fish, fruiu tbf want of salt' Some of the Uahmt Islands are retained merely 01 account of the salt ponds which tliey contain and in Ceylon a large revenue iadcri' vcd from the salt works carried oain that island. In Commander Lavoie's report f jr 1872 quoted from before, he says that geolo- gists and others who have visited t' 1 itcrior of the island, agree in Binti that iU soil is rich, and that more tlmD one million acres can be cultivated with advantage. Clearances have already been made at Gamachc (Ell s' liny), at South West and at West Point, where vegetables and grains of the district of Montreal and Quebec flouri>h. Stories, however, of the numerous wrecks that have occurred on the shore of Anticosti have spread such terror that up to 1861 nobody had thought of settling there. The reefs of flat limestone, extending, in some parts, to one mile and a quarter from the shore ; the want of ancliorage of a great portion of the ctust, and, above all, the frequent fogs, justify this belief, in part, but not 1.1 so great a defiree as to render reasonable the drer wilh which they seem to have beeni garded.and which can only have arisen from the natural tendency to ni.ignify danger, of wiiich we have no precise knowledge. Four lighthouses are erected on Anti- costi ; one on Heath Point, at the east end of the island ; another at South W^est Point, the third on West Point; and the fourth at South Point, at Bngot's > Bluff. Tiiat on Heath Point is around tower, built of a grayish white lime- stone, quarried on the island, and is ninety feet high. It shows, atanj elevation of UO feet above the level of high water, a fixed white light, which in clear weather should be visiblo ffcin a distance of fifteen mile". 'J he light- ' house on South West Point is built of I the same stone as the previous one,! quarried on the spot, is scventy-fiv- feet h'gh, and of the usual c micul .ltoJ exhibits a while light, which revokesJ every three minutes, and is vi;ible all fifteen miles, with the eye ten teetr above the sea; with the eye at hUT feet, it can hi seen nineteen and i-m THE 333 THE report fjr 1812, lys tlmt j^colo- xvc visited t' jrcc in sinti that more than cult iviUed with I have already (Ells'Iiay),«t it Point, wl:er« if the district of )uri>li.

It ia a hexagonal tower, painted while, scventy-livo feet above high-water marlt, with a revolving white funh MgM every twenty seconds. It should be swn at from fourteen to eighteen miles distanci", and is visible from all points of npnroach. A powerful steam fog- whistle is also stationed there, about 300 feet east of the lightliouse. In foggy weather, and during snow-storms, this 13 30U ided ten seconds m every minute, thus making an interval of fifty seconds between each blast, wiiicli can b3 lionrd m calm weatlier, or with the wind, from nine to fifteen miles dis- tance,and in stormy weather, oragaiiist the wind, from three to oipfht miles. The lifrhts are exhibited from the 1st of April to the 20th of December of each year. Provision depots are also established ontlie island for tiie rtdief of wrecked crews. The lirst of those is at Ellis Buy, the second at thelighthou.Ho nttlie South West Point ; the third which was formrrly at Hhallop Creek (Juniter River ,Va3 this year removed to South Point, where the new lighthouse and 9team fog-whistlo have been located, and llie fourth at the liglithouse on Heatli Point. Dirccion board.s are erected on the shore, or nailed to trees, from which tho brunches have been ioppi'd off, near the beach, and on various points of the coast. These boards are intended to point out to sbipwrocked persons the way to the provision posts. Vessels lire more frequently lost on Anticosti in the bad weatlier, at the tliso of navigation, than «t any other time, and their crews would perish from want and the rigours of a Cana- dian winter, if it were not for this liumanc provision, made by Govern- wai, in the absence of settlements on the island. As, however, the popula- tion begin to increase, und dwellings become scattered about, there will be the less urgent need for thesi; depolH. The currents around tlie Idaud of Anticosti arc \cry variable and uncer- tain, and to this cau?e may be aliribu- ted ma ly of the shipwreck.^ tlial fiiivo from time to time occurred tliere. A ' the north point of tl»o ishmd there is u cur- rent almost always setting ov t to tho north-east, being turned in th:it direc- tion by tiie west end tf the island. Con- lined as it is, within a narrow eliannel, It is very strong. All alo.ig tlie south coast, between the south-west and west points, the swell and the cnrront both set in shore, and tlie bottom being of clean flat limestone, will not liold an anchor, it is also by no means uncom- mon in summer for the breeze to die away suddenly to a calm. The tide around the island only rises from four to seven feet. It not unfrequently happens that when the current from tlie noithward is running, another fnni W.N.W. comes along the south co:i t, i.\ which case they meet at a reef oil' Heath Point, and cause a great ripnle or irregular break- ing sea. This takes place wlioii u fresh breeze is bhnving along tlic land on eitlier side of the ishind. A wind h.as been observe on the north side from N. or N.E., whilst thai on tli.^ .south side was W.N.W., and yet never nieet- ing round the east end of the isliid. iietween the two winds tlu-re is usiniUy a triangular space of calm, and light bainiug airs, extending from live to eight miles. In the spac^ I)-'twc'fm the winds there is otten observed a iiigh cross sea, and constantly clia'.iging light airs, whicli would leave a vessel Tit the mercy of the current, and in great danger of being set on the Heath Point reef. Streams of excellent water descend to tlie sea on every part of the coasts of Anticosti. They arc for the mo.st liai t too small to admit boat^, beom- ing rapid immediately witliin their entrances, and eve i the largest of them are barred with sand, excepting for short Intervals of time, after tlio si>ring floods, or after conti lued heavy rains. There ^a no doubt that, in ;i very i'c\r years there will be a numerous j o )U- lation on the island, as applications for Mh i TIIO 334 THO land are being constantly received by th.^ Auticosti Cuiiipuny, and the survey io boiug pressed forward wilh all practi- cable speed. Hud the island been thrown opc.i for seltkiTicnt years ago, it would be in a very dilforent position, commer- cially speaking, from what it now is; but once opened, and found to be equally productive with tlie mari- time provinces and Prince Edward Island, there id no reason why m a few dccadei it should not rival the latter. For long n''glectud and discarded, An- ticost i now has a chance of prominence, and the Duniinion will hail the advent of another link in her chain, which, though it may never assume the title now borne by Prince Edward Island, " the gem of tlie Gult," may yet prove as valuable a jewel in the diadem of Con- federation.

These mouutains, the lower portion of which is shaded with a soft Telvetv mist, and the tops covered with snow strongly reflecting the rays of the sun, form the most prominent feature in the landscape. To the eastward is cr, which, at a distance of miles, rears its snowy peak iito the clouds. To the west- long wide stretch of sea, >n one side by the Olympian . id on the other by the rocks — mountains of Vancouver, jutting out here and there into the Strait ; while to the north ward are ranges of hills and mountains, -minent » mongst Thich, and within • r 6 miles of the town, arc the pen' f Mount Tolmie wd Cedar Moi ^.

MICHAEL'S LAKE, in Berlhier co., Que., one of the sources of Black river. MICHIGAN, (sifrnifying in the Indian language " Groat Water,") LAKE, one of the iive great lakes of North America, connected with tlie St. Lawrence river, situated l)elwcon41 30 and 4ti^ N.lat. and between 8") 50 and 88' W. Ion. It is tlie largest lake that \? wholly in- cluded within the United States. The princijjal portion lie^ between the State of Michigan on the E., and Illinois and Wisconsin on the W. ; but the N.E. ex- tremity,t() the extent of about 100 miles, is conii)rised within the State of Michi- gan. Its length, following the curve, fs near 350 miles; lis greatest breadth about t)() miles. Tlie surface of the lake is about GOO feet above the level of the sea ; some have estimated its mean depth as high as 1,000 feet; area esti- mated at 20,000 square miles. The shore of the lake is generally low, being formed of limestone, rock, clayorsand. It never has high clills, like tho:^e on the upper |iart of the Mississipjji river. The lake apjiears to be moving west- ward, as the water is constantly. though slowly, receding from the Michigan shore and encroaching upon that of Wisconsin. Cn the east shore, the sand thrown up oy the waves durinr' a heavy sea, sixjii becomes dry aiul is carried inland by the action of the winds. This loose sand forms hills rang- ing in height from 10 to 150 ici^t, the former of which are cnustantly chang- ing. Lake Mi higau is destitute of is- lands, except a few near its N.E. extie- mity. It is usually clear (,f ice about the middle or latter part of Jlarch ; 1 ut as the Strait of Mackinaw remains frozen con.-iderably later, steamers for the east seldom reach Milwaukee be- fore the middle of Ajril, and tliey are Bometimes prevented by the ice Irom arriving bifore the middle of May. Lake Michigan has but few bays on its shores, and f.'wcr good harbors.

During tlio sum- mer there is considerable ddiiculty in ascending the river owing to the very law state of the water and the nuDiir- ous rapids and cascades to be sur- mounted. The distance to the height of hind is some 70 miles. Apart from Uic river navigation, the iilaiid trip jj really pleasant, ow'ng to theiiunuTuuj chain of lakes that have to be lus.-ed. These more or less abound with trou! and whitslish. Moose river, which falls into James's Bay at Moo.-e Fac- tory, rises in Misiniibe Lake, on the .\ side of the height of land.

It runs for a distance of 13 miles in a northerly direction, and from thence in an easterly direction to- wards the wilderness from which it takes its rise. Considerable gold has been discovered on this liver, and of very su})erior qualify. In 18(j4 a gold district was laid otf by order of the Government, but unfortunately it fell into the iiands of speculators who have done nothing towards developing its resources. Numerous lodes of gold quartz can be seen inanumber of small brooks which run into the main river, This river is settled for a distance of 14 miles. The lands are well adapted to raise any kind of crops. In the naonths of June, July and August large numbers of trout frequent this river, and in Sep- tember and October it abounds with salmon of very large size. There are no lakes connected with Middle river. Its water is clear and cold ; hence the meaning of its Indian (Mic-Mac) name "Wagamatcook"—" Clear Rapid Wa- ter." It has been called Middle river on account of its being half way be- tween Baddeck and Margaree rivers. It is navigable for boats 3 miles, and for canoes lo. Large beds of limestone are found on its banks; also red and white free stone. MILLE VACHES, a bay on the N. shore of the estuary of the St. Lawrence, about 30 miles below the mouth of the Saguenay.

MINGAN, a large river of Quebec enters the N. shore of the St. Lawrence 4G5 miles below Quebec. It is one of the finest salmon s reams in the prov- ince, and excellent for trout. The scenery in rear of this stream is roman- tic and bidd. Its mouth forms one of the best uarbors on the N. shore. Schooners and sometimes square rigged vessels take shelter in it. There are great deposits of black iron sand on the shore between this river and the Moisic. MINGAN RIVER, a river of Quebec, on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

MIKAMICHI, a river of New Bruns- wick, derives its name from ilieMic Mac Indians, tlie meaning of wliich is the *• Happy Retreat." it is one of the largest r'/ers in the province, its total length being 2iO miles, and its mouth 9 miles in width, the tide flowing 40 miles from the Gulf. The lands on either side are fertile, the scenery rather tame, but charming, and the farm houses scattered along its entire length have a cheerful and comfortable appear- ance. Nelson, Newcastle, Douglas and Chatham are the principal villages and towns on the river, the lirst occupying the junction of the north west and south west branches, and the others lying on both sides of Miramichi Bay. J^hipbuilding is largely engaged in at these places. The river is navigable for large sized ships 2 miles above Nevr- castle, where it is crossed by the bridges of the Intercolonial railway, for small schooners 20 to 25 miles further, MIR 420 MIS and for canoes 40 to 50 miles above the bridge Tlie first ship that entered the Mirntiiichi M'as the frigate whicii took the remains of General VVcdfe from Quebec to England in 1759, a storm having driven her in for saft-ty. The branches of the Miraniichi are celebrated for their splendid salmon and trout. A fish breeding establishment, situate on Stewart's Brook, one of its tributa- rie?!, is i;i ror.rse of completion by the G./ inent. The Aliramichi itself abounds with salmon, stiir- geon, codfish, mackerel, herring, ass, shad, alewives, trout, eels, smells, lobsters and oysters.

It is !)0 miles in length anil receives iu its eourso several larg"} tribu- taries, of whicli the principal are the Litile River, the Tomoggonips, Portage River, Great and Little Sewoglt, and the Little South West. Most of these rivers i)roceed from lakes and arc navigable for canoes during the sum- mer months. The tide Hows up the North West Miramichi 10 miles. It IS navigable for vessels of 15 feet draught for 3 miles of this distance, for ^chooners of GO or 70 tons for 3 miles further, and for canoes to its source. MIRA RIVER, of Cape Rreton co., N.S , is about 32 miles long and falls into the head of Mira Bay, on the At- lantic coast. Its entrance is narrow with from 7 to 9 feet of water (accord- ing to tides), but it widens and tU'epons directly inside. In some places it is from half to three-quarters of a mile wide, and is studded with islands. Jt is navigable for small vessels f(,r 25 mile.'^, and is frequented by several kiudg offish, especially ealm >u, eels and ^as- pereaux. There are three bridges over this river.

This lake forms the head waters of Rupert river, flowinc into .Jiimes's Hay The extent of this lake is but imperfectly known. The Indians say it takes three days to cross tlie nar- rowest part from island to island. Mr. James ilic'>ardson, of th*> Geoloji^ical .Survey, who explored a part of the lake in Aupfust, l.hTI, says: "Ab.ita- jrt)u.di bay (a jiart of Lake Mistassini) was surveyed for 30 miles— 13 miles to tlie Hudson's Bay Company's post(;^3.']J miles X. of ]\Io Ureal), aid 17 miles be3-ond it. At tins point the lake o])ens outltolli to tlie rigiit and left ; and Mr. liurKess, the otlicer in charge of tlie llmisoii's Hay Company's post, told me that from this point the western shore trends north for about fi miles, where a bay, 12 miles across, calle I Pooni- chuan, stretches S. and S.W. for a dis- tanei^ of about .^0 miles. lie furtiier informed me that across the bay tiie coast line contimies in a northwesterly (iiroction for 40 or 45 miles farther, and I'lenee north for about 60 miles. If tliis estimate is aptiroximately correct, the li'ig'h of Lake Mistassini, including the bays, would be about 1.50 miles, or bat liltl- less than tiiat of Lake On- tario. I have no information regarding its breadth. liesides the two bays ah'eaijy mentioned, there is a third on tlie E. side called Cabistachuan, which riiis to the S. and W. from a point ai)oiit midway between the Hudson's liay Cmnpaiiy's post and the end of our measurement (2;»0 miles from Lake St. John,) and is about 20 miles deep. At tlie south end of this a stream of the faoie name, said to be of coasiderable size, enters from the eastward." The country around the lake, so far as is known, is level and favourable for agriculture. Good sizf'd potatoes are grown at the Hudson's Hay Company's post. Mr. Walter McOuat, of the Geo- logical Survey, who s'lrveyed anotiier portion of thi' Lake, i iSSTJ, says : "'We measured on this lake a coast line of about 150 miles, including no bays lesR than a mile in width. The maiii body of the lake was found to be of a very elongated form, lying in a S.W. md jJ. E. direction, with a perceptible curve between the south west extremity and the fartiiest point seen by us, the con- cavity of the curve being tovvards the south cast. A long rugged tongue of lar.d, ujiwards of 20 miles in length, runni ig from the S.W. end, divides that end of the lake into two parts; and, of these, the one on the south east divides into several long arms, which are out of the general direction, having a nearly north and south trend. A series of long, narrow islands, which were seen only from a distance, extends for many miles in the same directioa beyond the above mentioned poi it, being, like it, apparently parallel with the longer axis of the lake. We carried our mfasureraonts round the long point, to the bottom of the bay on the northwest side of it, called Poonichuan Hay, and thence along the main north west shore of the lake f )r about 70 miles from the extreme S.W. i)oint. As no land was visible from this posi- tion, looking in a north easterly direc- tion from a point ahout 40 feet above the level of the water, the whole Icngih of the lake cainot bf much, if any, less than a hundred miles. It appears, however, to be comparatively narrow, being prol)ably not more than 15 miles wide, unless the width increases beyond where we saw it." MISTASSI.VL ("TheLaru'e Rock,") a rivm- of Qu'd)ec, is funned by tiie junction of two rivers, the Washieaniis- cou and the Kakissagan, and runs into the N.W. side of Lake St. Juii i, about 3 miles from tiie RiverAshuapmouchouan. It is about 3 miles wid" at its mouth, including a group of islets, but is ex- tremely shallow. It is also called the Riviere de Sable or Sand River, on account of its sandy banks and the sand shoals at its mouth, which extend I MON 422 MOO considerably into the Lake, This river is siii>p(>se(l to be the ancient route Icatlinj? to Lake Mistassini.

It has a number of branches flowing through a well wooded and rich mineral country. ST. MARY'S, a small lake on the Gatineau river,40 miles above its month. ST. MARY'S STRAIT, or SAULT STE. MARIE, separates Ontario from the upper peninsula of Michigan, and connects Lake Superior with Lake Huron. It commences at the S.E. ex- tremity of the former lake and after a general S.E. course of 63 miles enters Lake Huron by three channels. At some places it s[)reads out into lakes; »t others rushes through narrow rapids, orwinds around beautiful islands. Its entire length is navigable by ves- sels drawing 8 feet of water up to within 1 mile of Luke Superior. At this point the natural limit of steam- boat navigation is arrested by the "Sault,"havingadescentof22 feet with- in less ihan a mile. To overcome this im- pediment and give uninterrupted water communication between the great lakes I canal was cut in 1855. It is about a mile long, with 2 massive stone locks, each 250 feet long. The canal is 70 feet wide at the top and 61 feet at the bottom. The dejith of water is 12 feet. The main bodv of the canal is excavated through rock. ST. MAURICE, a river of Quebec, one of the largest tributaries of tlie St. Lawrence, takes its rise in two small springs, one being in a savanne and tlie othef a A mile from it, at the foot off, small hill forming part of the height of land between the province of Quebec and North West Territories, over 400 miles N W. of Three Rivers, at which place it falls into the St. Lawrence. Its l)rinoii>al tributaries are the Shawena- gan, Matawan, Rat, Vermillion, Fiara- niand, Ribbon, and Manouan from tho W., and Mekinak, Petite and Grande Bostonnais, Croche, Grande Pierriche, Tranche, and Wiiidigo from the K. It expands into numerous lakes, some of large size. Its banks are generally high, in some places from 200 to 1,000 feet, and covered with groups of majestic trees. It is adorned with a nimiber of beautiful islands, and has a great vari- ety of falls and cascades. The Falls of Grand Mere and the Shawenegan Falls are particularly attractive to the tourist. The latter "are about 30 miles from the city of Three Rivers. The most remarkable place on the St. Mau- rice is the Hudson Buy Company's post of La Tuque, about 100 miles from Three Rivers. Lat. 47^ 18' 30' N., Ion. 73^ W. It is separated from the falls by a conical hill ]>rincipally com- posed of granite rock, containing feldspar.

Nearly all the rivers described in the fbreguing schedule are tidal streams, and most of them have stationary sal- mon and trout fisheries within the embouchure, and at bays, coves, and inlets on either sides. Those upon the north shore of the St. Lawrence descend out of wild rocky and moun- tainous country. Most of these streams, •with their niimerous tributaries, and the large lakes at the head of each branch, present every variety of river and lake adapted to tne breeding and feeding of £sh. SALMON RIVER, a large stream of New Brunswick, flowing in different channels from the neighboriiood of the Miramichi and Richibucto rivers (with both of which there are communications by easy portages of 2 to 7 miles), and entering the head of Grand Lal^e, in Queens co.

SASKATCHEWAN, a river of the North Weat Territories, takes its rise in the Rocky Mountains, in a small lake near Mount Forbes, in about lat. 61° 50' N. Winding amongst the mountain spurs near its source it follows a N.E. diiection to Pointe aux Pins, thence it runs N.N.E. to the foot of liig Horn Hill, whence, having received the streamlet of that name,' it hastens eastward to Moantain House. From this point to Port Edmonton its general direction is N.E. ; it continues in the same direction till it crosses the 54th parallel of lati- tude, along which it runs and then turns southward towards Fort Pit*, and thus, between the latter and Fort Edmonton, describes a larpe and almost regular curve. From _ rt Pitt tlie river continues its 8.E. course to the Elbow, whence it turns suddenly to- wardis the N.E., first reaching Carlton House and thence Cumberland House. From the latter point its general course is S.E., although its great winding sometimes carries it towards the N., and sometimes towards the S. This great river divides into many branches tbat flow capriciously through the vast plain which they cut in various, and irequeuily quite opposite, directions. Clearwater river joins it near Mountain House, and 75 miles farther down it receives Brazeau river, called also North Branch. From its source to Mountain House, a distance of about 150 miles, the Saskatchewan is not navigable. From Mountain House to Edmonton, about 150 miles, it is navig- able with barges, and from Edmonton to Carlton House, about 500 miles, with steamers during a couple of months, some years for a longer period. Be- tween Carlton and Lake Winnepeg the river is very well fitted for navigation, except for 20 miles between Cedar Lake and Lake Winnepeg, and about the same distance in Goal rapids near ^he juaction of the southern branch, about 50 miles below Carlton. Total length of the Saskatchewan about 1,200 miles. The southern branch of the Saskatche- wan has three main sou ces all flowing from the Rocky Mountains, viz. : Oroa Ventres. Bow and Red Deer rivers. From tlie S. bank of this great river N.W. to Peace River the climate ia ad^ipted to the growth of wheat. Coal, salt, iron, gold and bitumen are am mg the products to be found. For hundreds of miles wild cattle can be seea grazing in countless herds. The valley of the Saskatchewan is fitted to sustain as dense an agricultural population as any area of equal extent on the face of the globe. This valley m supposed to be peopled by 17,000 Indians. Sas- katchewan is on abbreviation of the Cree word ''Kisiskatchewau" (rapid stream.) SAUBLE.a river of Ontario, discharg- ing into Lake Huron, about 12 inilea N. of Southampton.

It is 150 yards wide at its mouth. From its source to the Lake there are numerous rapids, creaiing a large amount of water power, only a portion of which ia used. Sturgeon, bass and pickerel are taken in the Saugeen, and large quan- tities of trout in its tribuianes. In 1872 a large number of salmon fry were put into its head waters as an experiment. SAULT A LA PUCE, asmall stream descending from the highlands in the rear of Chateau Richer, co. of Montmo- rency, Que., and falling into the St. Lawrence. It winds through a moun- tainous and woody country, and is en- titled to notice for 2 or 3 very romauic falls, where its stream is precipitated from the declivity of one ridge to the level of another, and for the beautiful and truly sylvan scenery that decorates SAWBILLjOr SHELDRAKE RIVER, of Quebec, on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, west of Mingan.

Height above sea level 6.30 feet; depth varying from 80 to 200 fathoms. It IS of very irregular shai>e. widening towards its centre, and gradually nar- rowing, partly towards itsE. but much more so towards its W. extremity, thus forming an irregular crescent, with its vexity on the N. and its concarity on the S. The N. shore is generally bold and elevated, and extends about 12 miles, presenting almost continuous ranges of cliffs, which vary iu height from 300 to 1,500 feet ; the S. shore is low and sandy, though occasionally interrupted by limestone ridges, the most remarkable of which, situated to- wards the E. extremity, pre.sents a per- pendicular wall 300 feet high, broken by numerous caverns and projections, and forming, under the name of the Pictured Rocks, one of the greatest natural ciiri- osities in America.
