 . CITY OF OTTAWA. 
 
 Ottawa, tho capital of the Dominion of Canada, is situated on the right or south 
 bank of the Ottawa Biver, distant from the present head of Ocean navigation, Mont- 
 r6&}, 126 milea ; from Kingston, at the foot of the great lakes 95 miles, and from the 
 frontier towns of Presoott and Brockviile, 64 and 60 miles, respectively. With all 
 these points it is connected bv rail or water route. Ottawa owes its importance not 
 alone to its political position but also to its being the commercial entrepdt of the vast 
 district known as 
 
 THE OTTAWA VALLET. 
 
 The Ottawa, or Grand River, has its rise among a chain of lakes near the height 
 of land south of Hudson's Bay, and from its source flows for 300 miles in a S.-W. 
 direction till it empties its waters into lake Temiscamingue in Int. 47'' ^,, issuing from 
 which it suddenly changes its course and flowing to the S.-B. forms for a long 
 distance the boundary between Ontario and Quebec and finally joins the St. Lawrence 
 above tho Island of Montreal. During this course, over 700 miles in length, the 
 Ottawa River receives the water of 30 first-class tributaries some of which, like the 
 Gatineau, are over 400 miles in length, and drains an area of 80,000 square miles. Of 
 this vast territory the portion north of lake Temiscamingue is little known ; and 
 regarding tho southern portion of it the most mistaken ideas exist. In general it is 
 regarded as an inhospitable land, valuable only for the timber of us forests aud the 
 skins of the beasts they harbor, — or some, better informed may point to a future source 
 of wealth in undeveloped minerals. But as an agricultural country of great value in 
 many parts, few speak of the Ottawa Valley. This is far from just. Although the 
 forest produce has been and long must be the mainstay of the country, and in the 
 developement of tho unsurpassable deposits of iron, marble, plumbago, mica and 
 other minerals with which the region abounds the speculator sees a source of wealth 
 which he is ready to proclaim to the world; still, between these two gigantic interests 
 agriculture has firmly, though unassumingly, held its own and in proportion to its 
 inhabitants can shew as much thoroughbred stock and as fine grain and root crops 
 as any portion of Ontario or Quebec. 
 
 THE OITT. 
 
 The City of Ottawa dates its first settlement as recently as 1827, only 48 years 
 ago, at which time Col. By began the construction of the Rideau Canal. The land at 
 the time was a waste and shortly before, the late Mr. Nicholas Sparks considered 
 himself ill used at having to take 100 acres of it and a yoke of oxen in payment of 
 $200. He lived however to see that farm the site of a city, the seat of Government 
 and assessed at over $10,000,000. Tho works of the Canal brought laborers and their 
 families to tho ground, their wants brought small traders, and soon a village sprung 
 up, which was called, on compliment to the Officer in charge, By-town. A milotrom 
 the mouth of the Canal, the Falls of the Chaudioro necossitatotl stoppages of timber 
 on its way down stream, and also of the raftsmen, and this became a source of in- 
 creased trade to the young village. Later on, speculative parties began to utilize the 
 same falls of water power and so the village grew till in 1834 it was incorp crated as

 FIBH DBl'ARTMENT. 
 
 The Fire Dopartmont of Ottawa, only recently organized, is perhaps the most 
 offlciout in the (Country. It is under the nianngoiuont of tlio Firo and Light Com- 
 mittoo of the City (!oimcil, but immodiately ifirocted by the principal Executive 
 Officer, the Chief of the Brigade. BoMidoH the hydrants all through the City, he has 
 at his command the following steam Fire Engines: — "The Conqueror," Flnglish, 
 1,260 gals, per minute capacity; "The Chaudi^re," Canadian, 650 gals. ; "Union," 
 American, 400 gals.; the "John Heney," American, 500 gals., and the "John Fill- 
 more," American, 400 gals. In addition to this, five " reel" stations are distributed 
 throu^'h the City with a paid force on duty day and night. The men atthono posts 
 sloen in their clothes, the horses are kept always in harness and the reels can be put 
 on the road in from 7 to 14 seconds after the alarm is first hoard. The hoso from the 
 reels attached to the hydrants is calculated to be sufficient to cope with ordinary fires, 
 and it is only on a second alarm that the steamers are expected to turn out. Chant©- 
 loup's fire alarm telegraph has also been introduced through the City attached to the 
 bolls of the principal buildings as well as to gongs in the fire stations and the water 
 worku, 80 that on discovery of a fire, a general and distinct alarm can be instantly 
 given. Besides the force above enumerated two volunteer companies of Hooks are at 
 the Chiefs command. They will, however, soon give way to a paid body and salvage 
 corps, and fire escapes will also be added to the present equipment of tho force. -The 
 amount of hose now in the hands of tho Brigade is about 12,000 feet. Till tho reor- 
 
 fanization of the Brigade, a firo once started in Ottawa was almost beyond control, 
 ut now it is a rare thing for one to make even temporary headway. 
 
 THE STRIET LAMPS. 
 
 The lighting of the City although under tho management of a committee of the 
 City Council is chiefly performed by the Ottawa Gas Company, a private body incorpo- 
 rated in 1854. with a capital of $200,000. Their pipes now extend through all the 
 leading streets with extensions to the village of Now Edinbui-g. Tho hitherto high 
 
 J)rice of coal in Ottawa has prevented till now the general use of gas in private 
 louses. The works of the Company are situated on King street, they are plain but 
 substantial buildings and constructed on the most approved manui\icturing principles. 
 This Company also supplies the Government Buildings and Kideau Hall, the scat of 
 tlie Governor-General, with light. Tho average consumption of gas is now 16,000,000 
 eubic feet ^er annum ; tho lights employed by the City number 217. In some localities 
 where tho gas pipes have not boon laicl coal oil has been successfully used for street 
 lam|)B. 
 
 8ANITABT CONDITIOX. 
 
 Tlie sanitary affairs of the City are in the hands of a Committee of tho Council, 
 the Board of Health, of which the present Mayor has long boon an active and valu- 
 able member. The work of this boay in the past has been a most difficult one, owing to 
 the general absence of drainage in all parts of the City, the cost of anything like an 
 adequate system of sewerage in a place covering the amount of ground occupied by 
 Ottawa, a large portion of the required excavations being in rock, was more than the 
 eorporation dared propose. Last year, however, the matter was successfully taken 
 in hand, the funds provided and the drains are being rapidly constructed. An effi- 
 cient medical health officer has been appointed in the person of Dr. Lynn with four 
 inspectors who make periodical inspections of all premises in the City. Taken all 
 in all, Ottawa may be considered about the healthiest City in Canada, and will un- 
 doubtedly be so when the works now in progress are completed 
 
 "bound town."

 |)ttawa (o Kingston. Between tho two last named points lay a Horie.s of small lakes 
 And streans wlimh 'Jolonel By resolved to utiliiso for his purpose. Ills design was not 
 ' ,o cut a channel, but by tho consti'uction of dams to produce a hnckwator flood doecl 
 inough to float ti-ansport barges. Under hih superintendence the work wa>i begun in 
 joptombor 1S2(! and o<implot«id in August 1H32 at a cost of 14,000,000. The total 
 ongth of tho ('anal is 127 milos in which distance it traverses 20 townships. Twonty- 
 our flams acting as breakwaters are built along its course, the longest close to Ottawa 
 wing l,<il<) foot long and tho shortest at JIartwoll lock 118 foot long. Tho higliost 
 '. ovol of tho water is 81 miles from Ottawa and 43 miles from Kingston. Tho rise 
 (otwoon those points is 292 foot overcome by 32 locks, while a descending series of 
 2 locks brings vossol-i down 165 feet to the level of tho Kingston terminus. 
 t is not improbable '.hat an onlargomont of the canal will bo made at an early 
 ate, as tho Government possess reserve lands on either bank and the trade of the 
 istrict it traverses has far outgrown its capacity. At the timo of its construc- 
 tion nothing but the doggod energy of Colonel By could have completed tho 
 Ivork few of the authorities of the time understanding tho value of it. On more 
 than one occasion the projector was as good as ordered to stop the work, but Jin 
 ppite of all he went bravely on till the last lock was completed. It is not to bo 
 ^ivonderod at that old residents of the Capital, many of whom came among or with 
 the first workmen on tho canal fondly cherish its old name Bytown and tho rorat>m- 
 brance of tho gallant Colonel. At his death Colonel Bv left a large property now 
 within tho limits of the city. It was then worth very little money though of hito 
 small building lots upon it have sold for thousands ot dollars. For many years the 
 Courts could not decide upon tho rightftil heir and as the property gi'ew in value so 
 did tho claimants in number till a valuable estate seemed in a fair way to bo eaten 
 up in law costs. Fortunately for all parties concerned, the proprietorship has been 
 amicably arranged and the property hitherto useless has been put into the market. 
 There are still about Ottawa not a few who remember the first coming of Colonel 
 By's workmen to the site of the city, when its best populated portions were excellent 
 shooting grounds with snipe more plenty than residents even now. To tho ordinary 
 , eye nothing then existed to indicate the position which Mr. Spark's then despised 
 farm would so soon obtain. 
 
 THE GOVEENMENT BUILDINGS, 
 
 tho finest edifices in the Dominion, perhaps on [the North JAmorican continent, 
 
 occupy a site worthy of their design. They are erected in a central portion of the 
 
 jCity_, on a plateau some 27 acres in extent 150 feet above the level of the Ottawa. 
 
 n its eastern boundary this splendid bluff overlooks the series of locks by which 
 
 he Rideau Caiml empties into the Ottawa River, to the North its precipitous 
 
 iftnks rise above the River and to the West and South it opens upon the wide ave- 
 
 Inues of Bank and Wellington streets. From tho water the bluff presents an im- 
 
 sing appearance rising abruptly from the water's edge and clothed with dense 
 
 bliage from its base to its summit. In the early days of Bytown, it was used as a 
 
 parade ground for the small detachments of troops quartered in the town, and on it, 
 
 close to where the present flagstaff stands, were quarters for the men. From this 
 
 circumstance it received tho name of " Barrack Hill " a title which among old 
 
 residenta it still retains. Two years ago the old building was destroyed by firo, and 
 
 hough regretted by some as an old landmark was more deplored for the destruction 
 
 lof valuable papers connected with tho Pacific Railway Survey which it contained. 
 
 The buildings on the hill are generally known as the Eastern, Western and 
 
 Central blocks. The last named contains the LogislativeChambers and parliament- 
 
 ,ry Offices and Library, the other two being devoted to the Government depart- 
 
 ents. 
 
 THE CENTRAL BLOCK 
 
 btands on the Northern portion of the bluff, its rear overlooking the Ottawa 
 liver and the county of Ottawa, Quebec, on its Northern shore. 
 
1875. 
 
 THE PROVINCIAL 
 
 ^ 
 
 Th'j main entrance faces Wellington Street, to which the building presents a 
 frontage of 4t2 feet. The style is Gothic of the 12th cencui-y, modified to suit the 
 climate of Canada. The main facade jiresents a centre and two wings, its long lines 
 broken by seven towers with truncated roofs surmountQil with iron work. The central 
 towev which is very richly finished, has an altitude of 220 feet and projects its own 
 width from the building. The body of the building is tv o stories, forty feet high, 
 crowned with truncated roofs with iron ornamental finishings. Tho main entrance 
 is beneath the central tower, the lower portion of which is arched forming a portico 
 sufficient to admit the lai'gest carriage. The principal material used in the building 
 is a cream colored sandstone from tho adjoining township of Nopeau. It is soft in 
 appearance but very hard and difficult to work. For carved work, the Ohio sandstone 
 has been extensively used, and to give variety of coloring the red Potsdam sandstone 
 has been adopted for the ai'ches over the doors and windows. Passing through the 
 main entrance the visitor entei*s a lofty vestibule supported in the centre by a colonade 
 of handtomo sandstone plum's. From this spacious antechamber stone stairways lead 
 right and left, the former to the portion of the building occupied by the Senate and 
 the latter to that used by the House of Commons, Following the right hand stairw.^y 
 
 THE SENATE CHA3IBER 
 
 is reached byjfmeans of the ^obby. This is a wide corridor n nning round the entire 
 chamber and hung with the portraits of the former Speakers of the Upper branch 
 of the Legislature. The chamber itself is a handsome room eighty feet by 45 
 feet, the same dimensions is the British House of Peers. The floor is sur- 
 rounded by a handsome gallery thrown back over the lobbies, the roof fifty feet in 
 length being supported O'^ handsome clustered columns of nolished marble taken from 
 quarries not far from Ottawa. The principal lightof the building is from the'roof which 
 is open, of richly carved timber with glass set in. Handsome mullioued windows, 
 however, suiTOund the galleries which are filled with elaborate designs in stained 
 glass. The entire furnishings of the Senate Chamber are in scarlet. At the iipper end 
 withe vice regal throne hav'ug on either side of it, marble busts of the Prince of 
 Wales and the Princess Alexandra. At the lower end facing the throne is a full 
 length statue of Her Majesty. All three of these are from tho chisel of Mr. Marshal 
 Wood. At this lower end of the room is also a full length oil poi-trait of the Queen 
 in her ecate robes. This picture has long hung in the Canadian Legislative Halls and 
 was with difficulty javei from destruction in 1849, when a mob oumod the ParHa- 
 ment building in MontretU. In rear of the Chamber is tho imoking-room, readib]gr 
 r.wm and private apartments of the Speaker. The rent of the ground floor in this haJf 
 /)f the building is used as Office Committee rooms and apartments for theUsLoroft^e 
 Black Eod. In the basement will be found the refreshment and dining-rooms, on the 
 way to which may be seen the comer stone of the building which was laid in 1860 
 by H. E. H. the Prince of Wale^. The upper story is entirely devoted to offices and 
 committee-roomc . 
 
 THE HOUSE OF COMLTONS 
 
 in dimensions and stmcture is identical wf.th the Senate Chamber. Since Confedera- 
 tion the number of representatives has so 'ncreased as to render a change necessary 
 in the ax'rangement of the seats. The acoustic properties of the Hall were also found 
 deficient, vfith a view to improve which the room nas been lined with green cloth 
 and to facilitate the work of the reporters of the Debates a gallery for their special 
 nse has been erected just above the Speaker's chair. As in the Senate portion of the 
 building the ground floor is devoted to offlcoi), reading and smoking rooms, apart- 
 mentfe for the Speaker and Sorgeant-at-Arms, the Parliamentary Post Office and such 
 like uses. The Telegraph »-'ompanies are also provdide with office room. Those who 
 take any interest in such matters will do well visite tho furnace rooms in which the 
 hoftting and ventilatinfr ft'i^'aratus is eituatod. The will be found in rear of the

 shews can not bo soon or appreciated in its present quarters which are cramped 
 and confined, and distributed through a number of small rooms nover intended tor 
 their present use. 
 
 THE EASTERN BLOCK 
 
 18 to the educated eye the most attractive of the three gildings. If it_ lacks the 
 imposing appearance and commanding position of the Parliamentary Block, the 
 rr^seful proportions of its western and southern facades conipensate for these ac^ 
 dental drawbacks. The former facing the square has a frontage of 318 feet and the 
 latter fronting Wellington Street is 260 feet in length. The principal entrance i. 
 under the main tower at the south-west angle of the block, facing Elgin Street fa 
 iye centre of the western front is a handsome portico over the entmnce of the 
 C-overnor General whose suite of offices ioin the secondstoi-rey of the building. In the 
 »amo wing also will be found the Privy Council offices. The Council Chamber itself 
 is a very handsome room commanding magnificent views of tne Eiver. xts ceiling 
 is heavily moulded and finished with rich fresco-work. The furniture made expresshr 
 for it at the time of Confederation is of oak, elegant in design and handsomely carved^ 
 l-ho interior finishing of the Departmental buildings is plain though all in good taste 
 and in excellent keeping with the exterior of the building. The work is most 
 substantial and the lower floors completely fire-proof. The corridors and surbases a^ 
 all of concrete and the stairways of stone with iron balustrades. In the tower large 
 tanks are kept constantly tilled with water which is carried to every part ot tfl« 
 building, and aix ample appliance in the shape of hoso is distributed through each 
 •aJridof. Aspecial forci '' The Dominion tolico," has the care of the Depavtmente 
 and grounds and maintains a patrol through them day and night : this body is also 
 trained to working the fire system of the buildings. 
 
 THE WESTERN BLOCK 
 
 as it stands now is externally the least attractive of the Buildings. In stylo and 
 material it ressemblos the Eastern block but it is not so large in dimensions and mo» 
 fb7mal in design. Facing the south it has a frontage of 280 feet by 210 feet facing 
 the square. It can scarcely be said to have a main entrance, those in the two front* 
 10 closely resembling each other. The appearance of this block has been greatly 
 unproved by the levelling of the surrounding grounds, by which tho basement ot trie 
 Wock has been uncovered and the building apparently raised a storey m height. 
 Extensive additions to the building: are now in course of progress which will make it 
 a much grander feature in the group than it now is. This has been found necessary 
 from tho vast increase in government wor k since Confederation, the buildings having 
 been originally intended for old Canada or the Provinces of Ontario and Queoocraly. 
 Tne principal Departments located here are those of tho Militia, Public Works, Post 
 Office, Marine and Fisheries and the Bureau of Agriculture. Tho Patent Office is a 
 branch of the last named Department and its model room though overcrowded is well 
 worth a visit from all interested in improvements in mechanics or manufactures. 
 The West front looking upon the Upper Town and beyond towards the Ohaudidw 
 Falls and Hull, gives a fine view of the wooded lauds on the shores of the Ottawa 
 Eiv«r and of the distant hill ranges. On the western confines of the grounds are the 
 
1875.

 are the Post Office, G. P. Baker, Postmaster, situated on Elgin Street, which is a 
 substantial stone building devoid of any kind of architectural beauty or style. It an- 
 swered well no doubt the purposes of the infant Bytown, but is far too small for present 
 requirements. 
 
 The Custom House, Z. "Wilson, Collector, will be found on Sparks Street on the 
 north side between Elgin and Metcalfe Streets. The location is only temporary, till 
 tibe new building constructing for it is completed. 
 
 The Inland Revenue Office, M. Battle, Collector, is on Elgin Street, also in temr 
 porary premises, opposite the Eussell House. Strangers having business to ti-ansact 
 •with these offices should not confound them with the Departments of the same name. 
 
 THE NEW POST OFFICE 
 
 now in course of erection is a remarkably handsome building excellently located. It 
 ifi situated on an irregular quadrilateral facing the junction of Sappers and Duiferin 
 Bridges. A broad roadway runs all round it and each side in point of finish ma^ b« 
 said to present a front. The whole building is of Ohio sandstone, three stories in height 
 surmounted by a high Mansard roof. It is handsome in design and displays a great 
 amount of rich carving particularly in the main or east front in which the main entianoe 
 is. Over this front also rises a handsome clock tower sui-mounted by a flagstaff. The 
 Building will be fireproof thi-oughout and its internal arrangements excellently 
 contrived to facilitate fiie rapid transaction of business. Besides room for the Post 
 Office, accommodation will be provided here for the Custom House and the Inland 
 ^Revenue Office. 
 
 THE COUNTY BUILDINGS 
 
 of the Metropolitan Municipality ofCarleton,are located in the City of Ottawa. They 
 occupy a considerable block at the west end of Daly Street, a central and fashionable 
 quarter of the Capital. 
 
 THE OOUET HOUSE 
 
 ■• 
 
 the chief building is a handsome structure of blue limestone, with finely cut dressin^i 
 of the same material. It occupies the north west corner of the block, with a main 
 . front on Daly Street of 122 feet. In it are the offices for all the civil and legal 
 officers of the County, together with handsome court rooms and a chamber for the 
 Municipal officers. The building was consti'ucted in 1871, at a cost of ^60,000, from 
 plans prepared by Mr. Surtees, at the. time a Member of the Council. In design, it is 
 simple but effective, having two wings connected by a somewhat projecting centre, 
 in which is the main entrance, surmounted by a handsoma pedimeut over which 
 ftands a statue of Justice. 
 
 THE JAIL 
 
 which closely atljoins the Court House, has its frontage on Ottawa Street. It was 
 ei'ected in 1860, ton years before the other buildings, with which however it corres- 
 ponds in style and material. The cost of its construction was about*$60,000, and for 
 a long time it was regarded as the Model Prison of the Country. It contains all 
 accommodation for 96 prisoners, but has never yet been filled. A steam apparatus 
 heats it in every part and water is supplied to the whole building. The only execu- 
 tion that has occurred since its erection, was that of Whelan, for the murder of the 
 late Hon. Thomas D'Arcy MoGee. The majority of the prisoners confined, are in for 
 comparatively light offences ; and among the males, ther labor is utilized at wood 
 cutting, stone breaking and such like work, while the females are employed at 
 knitting.

 THE CHUECHES 
 
 of Ottawa ai-e worthy of all visitors' attentipn and the yoixug City may well be proud 
 of the liberality and taste of her citizens in their expendittlre upon ecclesiastical 
 structures during the past four or five yeai'S. 
 
 CHRIST CHURCH, 
 
 completed some two years since from designs by Mr. K. Arnoldi of Ottawa, occupies a 
 commanding position at the western end of Sparks Street. With the exception of 
 the Parliament Buildings it may be doubted if any structure in the City is placed on 
 a more magnificent site, fronting as it does on a precipitous bluff which overlooks the 
 whole commercial district surrounding the Chaudiere Falls. The cost of the church 
 is about $44,000 ; it was built to take the place of a smaller and unpretending edifice 
 erected on the same spot in 1832. The present building, which is of Napean. 
 sandstone, the same materiel as the Government buildings are mainly constructed of, 
 has a seating capacity of over 1000. The style is Gothic of the 13th century, the 
 design consisting of a nave 100 feet long by 32 feet in width separated from two 
 side aisles by clustered columms of polished Arnprior and Portage du Fort marble. 
 The principal entrance is from the Sparks Street or Nerth front, the chancel being 
 situated at the South end of the nave into which it opens by a graceful arch. To the 
 West of the chancel is the vestry room and to the East the organ a remarkably fine 
 instiniment considered by ita makers, the Messrs Warren of Montreal, as one of their 
 most successful productions. The pews, in accordance with the prevailing style, ai*e 
 all open and like all the interior wood work are of pine oiled and varnished. The 
 roof is an open one with exposed timbers, adding much to the effect of the building, 
 the interior beauty of which is not a little heightened by the illuminated blue and 
 gold metal work of the organ pipes, cha^ideliers &c. A handsome tower and spire 
 occupies the north east angle of the church, and in the basement, besides heating and 
 storage accommodation, is a tine chamber GO feet by 80 feet used 'for Sunday School 
 and meeting purposes. In the Church are several handsome memorial windows of 
 stained glass erected by members of the Sparks family to deceased relatives. Close to 
 the Church is the parsonage, a handsome building of Gloucester limestone occupied 
 by the rector of the Parish, the very Kevd, Archdeecan Lauder. 
 
 THE CHURCH OP ST, ALBANS, 
 
 situated at the corner of Daly and King Streets, is a pleasing structure, designed by 
 Mr. Arnoldi, and built of blue limestone. It is generally considered the rendez-voits 
 of the Anglican High Church or ritualist party in Ottawa. It was erected in 1868, 
 and owes its existence in the past as now, chiefly to the exertions of its present ener- 
 getic rector, the Revel. Canon Jones. The limestone of which it is built, is set in 
 random courses without dressings or work on the face except in the case of the 
 buttresses, doors, -window jambs and plinths, and on them the tooling is of rough 
 chai-acter to harmonize with thegenei'al style. The design is Gothic, carried out with 
 great plainness and neatness. It shews a nave 18 feet by 32 feet with a chancel at 
 the east end 31 feet by 25, on the south side of which will be the vestry room. At 
 the northei-n angle, the design includes a handsome tower and spire, which when put 
 up will have a height of 190 feet. The church is supported entirely by voluntary 
 subscriptions; and all the seats are absolutely free and unappropriated. The interior 
 is tastefully furnished, the roof open wiih exposed timbers, tne principals resting on 
 graceful corbels. The seats are all ope; , -f ciled and varnished pine. The exterior of 
 the roof is shingled and painted in imit.u .i of slate. There is an excellent organ 
 and a capital choir attacned to the Congregation. The basement contains a large 
 meeting room, used for Sunday School and other purposes.

 THE bishop's CHAPKL 
 
 or Church of St. Jolin the Evangelist, formerly known as the chapel of Base is a neat 
 building of blue limestone situated at the corner of Eideau and Sussex streets It waa 
 constructed originally to servo the double purpose of a school house and a place of 
 worship for members of the Anglican Church m the eastern section of the city It 
 has of late been considerably enlarged to meet the wants of its growing oonffroffation 
 tmd 18 now the church ordinarily frequented by the Anglican Bishop when in Ottawa 
 The interior is finished in imitation of walnut and the pews are all open The 
 building is virtually pewed however, as particular sittings can be leased' No 
 sta-anger though need feai- about getting plenty of accommodation. 
 
 EMANUBL OHUaCH 
 
 belonging to the congregation of the Reformed Episcopal Church is situated at th© 
 corner of (.rloucester and Elgin streets, having its nuiin entrance from the latter road 
 It IS a neat building of white brick ^vith cut limestone dressings of Gothic style and 
 simple m design. Its roof is shingle painted in imitation of green and blue slate 
 and Its interior dimensions are 60 feet by 40 ieet. It will seat about 600 easily and 
 was opened for service in March last, having been erected early in the year after nlans 
 by Ml'. Hodgson of Ottawa, at a cost of $10,000. The congregation was called into 
 existence lus a separate body from the dislike many members of the Anglican Church 
 in Ottawa felt to what they considered the erroneous tendencies the ffigh Church 
 partv were fostering. Emanuel Church is entirely supported by the voluntary subs- 
 criptions of its members. "^ 
 
 THE CATHEDRAL DE NOTRE-DAME, (R. c), 
 
 the chief chm-ch of the Ottawa Fabrique is situated on the east side of the northern 
 quai-ter of Sussex Street. Its erection was begun in 1846, but the edifice has never 
 been comp eted and the requirements of the Diocese have so outrun the anticipation 
 of Its founders that a thorough alteration of the original design has been considered 
 advisable. As it now stands it is a handsome limestone structure, with a main 
 entrance from Sussex street, to which it presents a noble front surmounted by a 
 rJ:TcT\ ^fd flanked by massive towers 220 feet in height. Its cost so far has Been 
 $60,000 but It should be borne in mind that the greater portion of the work was done 
 when labor was not half the price it now is. When enlarged as now anticipated it 
 will exceed its present size by fully a third, the alterations it is estimated will cost 
 nearly «100 000. The design is Gothic on continental models, the interior consisting 
 of a nave 200 feet by 72 feet with side aisles divided from it by clustered columns 
 At the East end is the sanctuary, 40 feet by 40 feet, connected with the nave by a 
 handsome arched opening. A fine organ loft occupies the west end of the buildme 
 containing a splendid instrument which is built in two parts and so constructed that 
 either or both sections can be used by the organist at pleasure. An extensive crypt 
 underlies the whole building, which will be greatly enlarged. It is used now for 
 special services, confessional purposes, class meetings and lectui-ea. In a vault under 
 the south-western tower are the remains of the late Bishop Guigues, the first Bishop of 
 the Diocese. He was interred there on the 12th day of February 1874. 
 
 THE PALACE 
 
 by which name the residence of the Roman Catholic Bi.shop is generally known 
 adjoins the Cathedral but fronts on St. Patrick street. Its cost of construction was 
 onlySGOOO, but though a substantial building it has been finished within and without 
 m the very plainest manner possible. At present it afl^ords a residence to the Bishop 
 and all ecclesiastics connected with the Cathedral, and is looked upon by the country 
 cur4s of the diocese as their head quarters and resting place when they visit Ottawa

 It is not extensive enough for present needs and will shortly bo removed to make 
 room for the extension of the Cathedral. It covers an area of 40 feet by 80 feet, aud 
 has accommodation for about 30 persons. 
 
 ST. PATaiCK's CHUBCH, (B. C.) 
 
 situated at the comer of Hugh and Gloucester streets, in Upper Town, has been 
 erected by the voluntaiy subscriptions of the Irish Roman Catholics of Ottawa, and 
 when completed will probably be the handsomest chm*ch in the Capital. According to 
 the original design it was to have been of blue limestone throughout, presenting on 
 the exterior two fine aisles and a lofty choristory roof with a spacious sanctuary at 
 the west end, the principal entrance being on Hugh streei'-, under a masjive tower. 
 Owing to shortness of funds the fair proportions of the edifice have for the present 
 been considerably curtailed and a substitution of wood and iron for stone in the 
 choristory has taken a groat deal from the exterior appearance. The visitor to the 
 interior however will be agreeably surprised at the ricn elegant finish the building 
 presents. The pews, all open, are of pine, oiled and varnished, with walnut mouldings, 
 the clustered columns supporting the choristory and dividing it from the aisles are of 
 iron but admirably manufactured and coloured in imitation of stone. The roof which 
 is open, with exposed timber, though simple in construction has been most effectively 
 handled by the architect Mr. Arnoldi, in its finishings, and the fVesco coloring of the 
 walls has been carried out in neutral tints which give a cheerful though solemn tone 
 to the building. 
 
 ST. Joseph's church (b. c.) 
 
 on Wilbrod Street, Sandy Hill, under the charge of the P^res Oblats,iB attended 
 by a mixed congregation of the English and ffrench speaking, portions of the popu- 
 lation. It is a neat building of blue limestone having its front on Wilbrod street. 
 Without any great pretension as to finish or size, it has been designed on strict 
 ai'chitectural rules and both in exterior and interior cannot fail to please the educated 
 eye. It is seated for about 1600 and contains a good organ. An excellent choir, 
 always in good training, is supplied from the Congregation, and the adjoining college. 
 
 ST. JEAN BAPTI8TE CHUBCH (e. C.) 
 
 on King Street, LeBrcton's Flats, at the Western End of the City is a 8imj)le 
 wooden^etructure capable of accommodating some 800 persons. It was originably built 
 for a row of tenement houses and being in a crowded part of the City, where a great 
 deal of rough work was going on, soon became the residence of an undesirable set of 
 characters. Under these circumstances it was purchased by the Fabrique, cleared of 
 its then inmates, the buildings were gutted and thrown into one and with little 
 alteration in the main frame work it was converted into a church of respectable 
 appearance to the great joy of the neighboiirhood. Church accommodation was 
 greatly needed in the vicinity as the proximity of two railway stations and the 
 erection of large saw mills brought a largo floating population to the locality. 
 
 ST. ANNE'S CHUBCH (R. C.) 
 
 the property of the Eoman Catholic Fabriquo, is situated at the East End of 
 St. Patrick Street, Lower Town, a quarter of the City mainly inhabited by mechanics 
 and laborers of tlie Eomun Catholic faith. It is a simple looking building of blue 
 limestone, roughly dressed and laid in rubble work. The interior consists of a nave 
 and two aisles with galleries holding in all about 1000 persons. It was erected in 
 18'72 at a cost of some $8000. The interior finishings are in general of the plainest, 
 but where any attempt at ornament has been made it is of a light unsubstantial and 
 rather gaud}- character.

 ing of ro<l brick, capable ol" holding Home 500 of a congregation. It was originally a 
 wooden building, but about six years ago, the old Ntructuro wa« bricked over and the 
 present tower added to it. The interior, at the same time, undoi-wont a complete re> 
 novation. Closo to the church ia a neat brick dwelling the ronideiico of the Pastor. 
 
 THE BRIDOE 6TKCBT CntTROlI 
 
 at the corner of Bridge and King Street, LoBreton Flats, is occupied by the Episcopal 
 Methodists of that quarter of the City. It is a wooden structure of no architectural 
 pretensions erected over 12 years ago at a cost of 0-4,000. It will hold about -iOO 
 persons. 
 
 THE BAPTIST CHUBCn. 
 
 built in 1861 is a plain limestone building of Gothic character seated for a congrega- 
 tion of 200. The interior is not only well but handsomely finished us regards The 
 wood work. It has a basement underneath it which contains accommodation for the 
 caretaker. Its cost of construction was 86,000, before the proeent liigh rates of labor 
 eet in. 
 
 KNOX CHURCH 
 
 on Elgin street fron ( i n^ the City Hall square, is u creditable ornameiil to ono|of the most 
 public portions of the City. It was completed in 18T4 at a cost of 833,000 (exclusive of 
 the ground) for a congregation of the Canada Presbyterian church. It covers an area 
 of 130 feet by 15 and has accommodation for a congregation of 1,500. The style of 
 the design is Gothic, carried out externally in coursed work of Gloucester limestone 
 with dressing of the same. The front which faces the square comprises a centre in 
 which die main entrance is, and two towers similar in design, but the western one 
 surmounted by u spire 160 feet In height. The height of the main building from the 
 ground level to the cornice is 40 feet. The interior consists of a nave with two self 
 supporting galleries which are hung low so as not to detract from the interior height. 
 The walls and roof which is coved are judiciously frescoed in neutral tints con-cs- 
 ponding well with the finishing of the pews and other wood work. Hot air is used 
 in winter for heating purposes, the apparatus for which is in the b.isement, which is 
 of good height and contains a splendid lecture room. This Hall is used also for 
 bazaars and social gatherings and has more than once been lent to othei- congregations

 ST. Andrews' chuucii 
 
 located on south side of Wellington Street, Upper Town, was ci'ccted in 1873. It is 
 constructed of blue limestone, presenting in its outlines a bold and rich Gothic design. 
 The principal entrance is from Wellington Street, under a richly carved enti'anc^ 
 porch of Ohio sandstone. Its situation has boon well chosen, the unusual width of 
 the street eiLibling passers to get a fair view of its proportions, while a judicious irre- 
 gularity in its main features, prevent any look of formality in the structure. The 
 interior is very handsomely furnished, and its seating capacity is between 1,400 and 
 1,600. A commodious, though jilainly constructed manse adjoins the church facing 
 on Wellington Street. It is considerably older than the present building, having 
 been occupied as a manse for years before the destruction of the old church which 
 ■was demolished on the present site to make room for the new one.
