Like all ^n-eat commercial centres the result of" the apjMi- cation of brains and ener,i,ry to natural advanta.i,res its ad- vancement in culture and education has kept pace with us material development, and Bufialo provides for its citizens unsurpassed facilities for .general instruction, and in some specialties it takes the lead, and invites the whole continent to participation. Main street, (about two miles in leno^th) is the principal thorou.irhfare of the city, a,.d divides it into Kast and West sides. Delaware avenue, Xorth street, and other adjoining streets, include the fashionable district for residences. A riJo throu-h this, to the Front and the Park over the smooth pavement is very enjoyable. The Front, Germania P^ark and the Parade, so popular with east side folk, are also pleasant places of resort. The unrivalled summer climate of Bufialo, its fine hotels and its proximity to \ia.i,rara Falls, make it an unusually attractive citv to tourists. NIAGARA FALLS. Of all the specimens of Nature's handiwork on this con- tinent, the Falls of Niagara are the .y:randest. At all seasons and under all circumstances, under all the varyin,i,v effects of sunlio-ht, or moonli^rht, or the daz/liui,'- ,i,dare of electric illii- mination, the scene is always sublime. The whirlin.i,r floods, the ceaseless monotone of the thunderous roar, the vast clouds of spray and mist that catch in their depths the dancing- sun- beams and transforms them into hues of a thousand rainbows, seem strivin.i,r to outvie each other in the tribute of homai,v to the mi_i,'-hty "Thunderer of Waters." The Xia.i,^ara River, extendin.i,^ from Lake Erie to Like Ontario, a distance of thirty miles, has a total fall of 334 feet ; the K^reater part of the descent is confined to a distance o( i^ ■■■■■•■'; in.i;. t o\ the appli- i^'-cs -its a J.

The rapids are so stron- two miles ahove the Falls as to entirely prevent navigation.'' The Falls of Xia^i^ara are justly classed amon^- iho wonders of the world. They are the pride of America, and their jrrandeur, mao^nitude and ma.q-nificence are familiar to all the civilized world. Ever since the discoverv of this wonderful cataract, hundredsof thousands have flocked thither from all countries, to .i>-aze with feelin^rs of the deepest soleni- nitv on the tumultuous flood of water, and to ador- the power and majesty of the Almighty, as there exhibited anu realized, amid the sublime scenery of this stupendous water-fall. Over this o-reat cataract has been pouring ceaselessly throu^rh the centuries of the past, with the deafenin^r roar of a thousand thunders, a torrent of water over three-fourths of a mile wide and 200 feet in depth, or an a.i^jrreirate, it is calcu- lated, of a hundred mi lion tons per hour. Xo wonder that to this grandest of natural shrines, the untutored abori^nnes were wont to come yearly and worship the Great Spirit, and propitiate him by the sacrifice of an Indian maiden, sent down on the current in a flower-laden canoe to her death in the terrible vortex ; no wonder that they led thither the first missionaries who penetrated these wilds, and pointed in speechless awe to the mighty cataract ; and no wonder that in these latter days thousands of tourists from everv part of this continent and Europe annually make this spot their destination, and stand i,-azing in mute surprise, as did the sava.ire and the priest before them, at this peerless marxcl of Xature. Father Hennepin, the French Jesuit missionarv, was the first white man to see the Falls of Xiagara, when on an ex- pedition of discovery in the vear 1678, over two hundn.l Fall its sides of old tow- battle of Falls, a Arch b and the Ontario, to Queer Monume on-the-L Geni I'^alls affc i that the 'J and Goat f whilst oti minor att I ilie onlv mighty ca The ' on the eas i^i"and cat; / Lake Krie - ai>le place ' ;''.-i f le i^randest e so stroiii^ avi^ation. imons" I'lc nerica, and familiar to 2ry of this :ked thither pest solein- p the powor ui realized, --fall. ceaseless! \ ig roar of a Durths of a it is calcu- onder that aborijL^ine.s Spirit, and liden, sent her death ler the first pointed in Diider that ?ry part oi spot their as did tile ;ss mar\ el y, was the on an ex- > hundred ALL-KOlXn UOITK AXO ..AXCKAAUc ca„>K. 3- u.ar. a«o a,Hl ,l,e fins, desc-ir.ion of then, was published bv In the followinp- naires up ^^ \\e snail attempt to (niitjp tii,. iravelier ,0 ,he various points, whence ,he fines, vie^ f ia I and he scenery surrounding. ,hen,, n,av he obtained and thereafter conduc, him ,o ,l,e snn,« ,f ' , '^'"'^''' in ,he neighborhood.

Before leavinj;- tiie l^'alls tourist;- dh >bt; irists usually wish to obtain some memento of their visit. We may mention that their taste in this respeet may he amply ^ratified at ■nciHN''s MISKCM, where photo,i,^raphs, curiosities and interestini;- souvenirs of endless variety may he procured. Mr. Tujirbv is located on the main street a short distance from Prospect Park on the American side, and he makes a specialty of articles manufactured from the rock of the Falls. It is scarcely necessary to say that days of sojourn at the Falls are desirable to see them in all their varvin^ aspects, and become fully impressed with their beautv and i^randeur, underrated by those who only make a flving- visit. But a short time since, Xiai^ara Falls had gained an unenviable notoriety for the tax- if not indeed to be termed extortion — which was levied upon every visitor for the privilege oi obtainin^i,^ access to any point from which the Falls could he viewed. Particular'y was this the case on the American side; but now all that has been chan,ired, and ''Free Xia^rara" invites the whole world to come and view its beauties, as the ^^reatcst wonder of Xature on this continent. To see the Falls thoroughly formerly cost over $3 for ad- missions; but now the whole is thrown open free, exceptiiii^-. of course, such extras as passin.i;- under the Falls, crossin.i^ the Ferry, takin,i;- th.e Inclined Railway, or i,a^in^^ over the new Arch Brid.i^e.

It should be explained that the lari^er eataraet, stretehii!- from shore to shore, is the Canadian or Horseshoe Ivill, whilst the smaller one is the Ameriean. The dimensions o\ the Falls must neeessarily be a matter of compulation, and they are estimated as follows: The American I^'all, 660 feet wide, with a drop o( 10^, feet ; the Central Fall, 243 feet wide, with a drop of 16;, kxn] and the Canadian I^^all, 2000 feet, followin.i,^ the contour, with a drop of 154 feet ; and it is stated by Professor Lvell thai fifteen millions of cubic feet of water pass over this tall everv minute. The traveller, in his first visit to the l\alls, is impressoJ with a sense of inexpressible amazement. His emotions aiv not unlike those of the votary of necromancy, who, when oikv within the ma,i,nc circle, trembles under the inlluence of ilic enchanter, even before he confronts the wizard himself.

The roarini;- is so tremendous th.it it would seem, that if all the lions that have ever lived since the davs of Daniel, could join their voices in one "Hallelujah" choras, they would produce but a whisper, in comparison with the deep diapason of this most majestic of all Nature's pipes or orcrans. The roar created by the FnWs can be heard, under favorable conditions, at a distance of 15 miles. The brids^re which connects the mainland with Coal Island is eaoerly passed, and we explore the whole of this curious cra.ir, which is ri.irhtly named, for it is found fantastic enouirh to sutri^est that y;oats onlv could find a com!\^rtah!c ^ se pa rat in largest i; meval.

It is at the head of navii^^aticMi. and IS well adapted for the terminal point of the splendid steamers which leave Toronto. It is a small town situaiod nearly opposite Lewiston. It was the Canadian termination of the first Suspension Brid.ire, and is associated in histcM-v with the ^rallant defence made by the British, on the adjacent hei,irhts in the war of 181 2. The villa.i^e is pleasantiv situated, but It has suffered from the same causes that have retarded the ^vrowth of Lewiston. \ear this point the river becotnes more tranquil, the shores appear less broken and wild, and the ehan.i,re in the scenery affords a pleasini,^ transition from the sublime to the winsome. The monument which has been referred to stands on the Hei-hts of Oueenston, whence the villa^re derived its name. The present structure occupies the site of the former one, which was blown up bv a miscreant named Lett, on the 17th April, 1S40. The shaft is one hun- dred and ninety feet hi.i^h, and is overtopped bv not moro than two or three monuments anywhere. On tlie sub-base, which is forty feet square and thirty feet hi^Wi. are placed lour lions, facin^r north, south, east and west ; the base of the pedestal is twenty-one and a half feet square, ten feet hi-h, surmounted by a heavv cornice, ornamented with lion's heads and wreaths in alto relievo.

Owin^ to its location there is always a breeze from some quarter at Sandheld; at the same time calm water mav always be found in one or other of the adjacent lakes. The ^reat contrast between the waters of Rosseau and Joseph can here be plainly observed, that of the former hciPi; of a dark, reddish-brown color, and the latter of a clear, bri',^ht hue. Port Sandfield is about thirty miles from Graven- hurst. During \u^ust the annual rej^atta held here attract.s l-^r^e crowds or visitors and the sports are keenly contested. To the botanist and lover of nature the district is a veri- table treasure-house ; wild flowers in great profusion ^row in lu.xuriance ; huckleberries, water lilies, pitcher plants, and a jrreat variety of rare flora are to be found not far distant. For the convenience of e.xcursion and fishing parties, a swift steam launch, the "Flyer," is available at all times. The Prospect House is a commodious building with a capacity for about iSo guests; it occupies an elevated position overlooking both lakes. Around three sides of the house are broad shady verandahs. The bedrooms are com- fortably furnished, as are the ladies' parlor and gentle- men's smoking room, while the dining room is largo, airv and well lighted.

It has accommodation for 700 guests, and \isitor.s stopping at the Thousand Island House will find the rest. comfort and attention which they .seek. The atmosphere of this place is an abs^^lute cure for lia\ fever, insomnia and pulmonary complaints. The main building of the Hotel is 276 feet long and bb feet wide. The eastern portion is five stories high and the western four stories, this difference being occasioned bv the uneven lav of the rock upon which it is founded. A toner, 24 by 27 feet, rises 160 feel abo\e the foundation.

In the Lower town [l^ merehants and men of business ehieily resided, and here ,il>o were the plaee ofarms, the royal maj^-a/ines and tlie Xunnerv Hospital.

The Champ is immediately behind the Ciuiri House, and fronts Craii^- street ; opposite it is the Drill Hall and Armorv of a number of the city volunteer eorps. The lioard of Arts and Manufaetures is a commission nominated bv the Provincial Ciovernment for holdinjj^ industrial exhibitions, carr\in_i;" on schools of technical art, etc. It occupies the larj^'c building at the east end of the Champ do Mars, formerlv occupied by the Cieolo^ical Survey. The building situated on the corner of Craij;' and X'ictoria square is one of the finest in the city. The style is the mediaeval or decorated Ciotiiic. 'I'he foundation and some four feet of the base is of Montreal limestome, but the super- structure is of Ohio sandstone. The buildiuij^ has one feature, distin^ijuishinij;- it from every other secular or ecclesiaslico secular structure in the city namely, a richly crocketted-spirc. sprin^in^- from a dwarf arcaded tower on the corner facin*; Crait^- street and \'ictoria square. The effect is striking- and hi^hlv favorable.

Its sj;-reat hei^lit and lateral dimensions make the hiiildin^'-s surrounding it appear very small indeed. The main entranee, faeinjj; Dominion Square, is on IVd Street, whieh leads direet up to the famous Mount Koval Park. The hotel has aeeommodation for about 800 iLjuesis, and over one hundred and fifty of its rooms have bath-rinmis attaehed. As a safei,niard ai,minst lire, it has been built with hriik partitions divid; , all its rooms, and a double patrol is em- ployed for the proteetion of i^uests durint^- the ni^i^^ht ; four wide staircases, indicated by red lamps, connect ever\- aM-- ridor with the sji-round floor. The table and attendance \vill be i'ouwd unsurpa.s.sed any- where on the continent. The ladies' entrance of the hotel opens on Dorchester Street, and is protected from the rain and sun bv a broad canopy, which stretches to the street. In close proximity to the entrance are the waiting'-- rooms for quests, and the ladies' reception-room, which is elaborately furnished and decorated in the richest style, and is undoubtedly one of the iL,'-ems ol the hou.se.

The steam littinj^of the entire house is improv- ed; new plumbing, public and private bath-rooms, with new furni.shinjj^s, hard wood floors, etc., ^ive to the public a modern hotel, at the .same time retaining the old attractiveness of Crawfords at a location lonj^ famous as the grandest in America. The attractions of the vicinity add much to the general interest of the place. Here starts the old original bridle-path to the summit of Mt. Washington. East of the hotel, a fourth of a mile distant, are Gibbs Falls; across the railway, a half- mile distant, is Beecher's Cascade, with paths leading to the summit of Mt. Avalon and Mt. Field; and from the green seat above, a view of Mt. Washington is had. In front of the hotel, below Saco Lake, are Fllephant's Head and Bui^lo Cliff, and on the right is the gateway of the Xotch. A little farther below the entrance to the Xotch are Flume and Silver Cascades, two of the finest waterfalls in the White Mountain.s.

Tlie lake is situated in Xew York State, at the south- western ed^e of the famous Adirondaeks, 21 1 miles north o\' !<'ew York city. It is 36 miles lon^, varies from one to four miles in width, and in many places is 400 feet deep ; its altitude is 240 feet above Lake Champlain, into which it empties, and 333 feet above the Atlantic tide-level. It was discovered in 1642 by Father Isaac Jo^ues, a French Jesuitical Missionary, while he was a captive in the hands of a band o( maraudin_s;- Iroquois Indians. He afterwards ^ave it the name of St. Sacrament. Over a century later General Johnson rechristened it Lake George, in honor of kinj^ George II, who then occupied the throne of Fn^land. Its L.-lian name was Andia-ta-rock-te, " place where the lake closes," but Cooper, the novelist, preferred to call it Iloricon, " Silvery Waiters." There are 220 islands clustered on its surface, nearly all of which are a part of the forest preserves in charjji'e of the State, and remain as wild and romantic as they were centuries ajji'o. Lake Geori^ein early days preccdiiii^ American independence was the scene of almost daily battles between the b>ench and Flnirlish and their Indian allies. Here General Montcalm, with 10,000 men, besieged Fort William Henr\-, and General Abercrombie with 15,000 men, made an unsuccessful attack upon Ticondero^a. The two well-appointed steamers, Iloricon and Ticon dero^a, or "Ti," as it is familiarly called, on their journe\ up the lake, make a score of stops, and cross and re-cross the lake man\' times.
