The principal points touched at on the river are, March, KoU^^'s B idhatn's, Onslow, Eitzroy, Pontiac, Union Village, Arnprior, Sandpoint, Bristol, Bonnechere Point, I'arrei's, Gould's Landing, Portage-du-Fort, Cobden, Pembroke, Petavvawa, Fort William, Point Alexander, Moor's Landing, and l)es Joachim Kapids. On leaving Aylmer, the Eardley Hills are seen on the Lower Canada, or north side of the river, a range of rugged rocks, which appears to extend for hundreds of miles, varying from 600 to lOOO feet in height. The south side of the river, or Upper Canada side, is better settled, and well cultivated tarms extend up the river us high as Pembroke. Before reaching Ponliac, the Chatts Rapids are passed, whore hundreds of inlands are in the midst of the rushing waters, and where cool spots can be found on the hottest day. At Pontiac, passengers leave the steamer, and take the cars of the Union Railway, which is constructed to over- come the " Chatts Rapids " obstruction. This Railway is almost entirely built of trustle work, in some places of great height, and is of itself quite worth a visit. The cars aie drawn by horses, and occupy about twenty minutes in reaching Union Village, where the powerful steamer Alliance will bo found waiting. In half an hour the picturesque Village of Arnprior is reached, and the magnificent residence of Daniel Mc- Lachlin, Esq., is seen, with its terraces extending to the water's edge. At Arnprior, passengers going up the river, who wish, can take the cars of the Brockville, and Ottawa Railway to Brockville connecting with express trains east and west on the Grand Trunk Rpilway. At Sand Point, six miles above Arnprior, is the terminus of the Brockville & Ottawa Railway, where passengers coming down the river, take trains for Brockville. There is no delay either at Arnprior or Sand Point — boats and cars all connect close on time. Dinner is served on the Alliance 'immpjXiniG\y on leaving Arnprior. Passengers are now on what is called the "Chatts Lake," which is 2.') miles long, averaging 25 miles across. The " Cheneux " Rapids nre situate about two miles above Farrel'a Landing, which the steamer reaches at 3, p.m. This rapid is caused by the sudden '( <( THE UPPER OTTAWA. X s contracting of the channel, which is so narrow that a per- son might almost jump ashore on either side. The cur- rent is very swift, and it is with ditlicultv the boat forces her way up. The scenery above this point is most varied and picturesque, reminding the tourists t)f the ThonsMnd I.-lands of the St. Lawrence, tlien changing suddenly tu the grandeur of the Saguenay. At Gould's wharf, passengers going through to Dog Joachim leave the AlUonce, and are driven in comfort- able omnibusses to Cobden, where the steamer Jason (joufd in in readiness. The portige occupies 1^ hours over a first rate road. The Jason Gould then leaves Cobden at 6:30, p.m., passing up Muskrat Lake, and through one of the best wild duck shooting grounds in Canada, known as "Mud" Lake. The navigation here is mo.*t interesting ; for miles the whole country seems afloat, and the channel is frequently completely closed with flofiting islands of weeds and rushes, which the steamer is specially designed to overcome. The channel for about 14 miles is extremely tortuous, and not more than 100 feet in general width. Pembroke is reached at 9, p.m., where passengers lay over until next morning. The Hotels here are good, and can accommodate a large number. Pembroke is the largest place on the Ottawa above the Capital, and is a great rendezvous and point of departure for raftsmen, and their supplies connected with the immense lumbering operations of the river above. The steamer Pontiac, the finest vessel belonging to this Company, leaves Pembroke at 8 o'clock, a.m., every Tuesday and Friday, for Des Joachim, so that passengers for this point should leave Ottawa CHy on Mondays and Thursdai/s to form a close connection. The scenery above Pembroke is unequalled anywhere. Huge frowning rocks rise quite perpendicularly from 800 to 1000 feet high for several miles, whilst the river at their base is unfathomable. This portion of the Ottawa is known aa "Deep River." The " Narrows " are well worth seeing. The steamer passes through th 'm at 9 o'clock, a.m., amidst clusters of the most beautiful islands, where fishing is excellent. The Pontiac returns, leaving Des Joachim 2, p.m., same day, passengers arriving at Ottawa next afternoon at 5:30, p m., the round trip thus occupying three days. To those who cannot atT ad time to visit Des Joachim, ._ .^ .. »JM — ■■■«■•■ rm ft. T tourists' OriDE TO the Cnlnmet trip is recommended. Passengers for this route do not leave the steamer Alliance at Gould's Land- in<]j. but proceed on to Portage- du-Fort, a village beauti- fully situated at the foot of the Calumet Rapids. At Portage-du-Fort, omnibusses, leave after the arrival of the steamer ^^^mwcfiforHaveiock, Smiles over a splendid road, where the commodious steamer Calumet will be waiting. This handsome vessel is fitted up with state- rooms, and is very large. The passage of this route is remarkable for its charming landscape scenery, and is a great resort for parties fond of trout fishing, all the streams on the north side of the river being full of them, the best of which is the Colonge river. The Calumet proceeds to Chapeau Village, 53 miles above Portage-du- Fo t. Passengers who wish to sleep on board while at Chapeau Village can be accommodated with state-rooms. The Calumet leaves Chapeau Village on Monday mornings at 10, a.m. ; returning, leaves Havelock same day, on arrival of passengers from steamer Alliance. On the 1st of September the Calviuet will make two trips per week, leaving Monday and Thursday evenings ; and returning Tuesdays and Fridays at 2, p.m. The Calumet Falls nearPortage-du-Fort are well worth visiting, and if timber is passing, a view of the " slides " may be had, which is most exciting. A day can be well spent at Portage- du-Fort and vicinity. To induce parties to visit the Upper Ottawa, so as to bring this trip prominently before the public, the Com- pany has reduced the fares as low as possible, as under: Aylmer to Chatts Rapids and bark, - $2 00 « Portage- du-Fort, - - - 5 00 *' Pembroke, - - - - 9 00 " Des Joachim, - - - 12 50 Meals included. Children under 12 years of half pr!c«'5. Freight of every description forwarded with despatch ; and through freights taken to all points on the Upper Ottawa at moderate rates. Particular attention paid to towage of timber and saw logs. For further particulars apply at the offices of the Company in Ottawa City or Aylmer, or to M.
