NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. ei THB ALL ROUND ROUTE AN0 PANORAMIC GUIDE OF THE ST, LAWRENCE. THE IIUDSOiNr EIYER. Probably no other river in the world presents so groat a variety of views as the Hudson. Throughout its whole extent there is a combination of the finest views, and each turn in its course reveals fresh pictures which serve to illustrate some of the best scenery of the Old World. Some tra^^ellers have pronounced the Hudson grander than the Rhi.jc. Cer- tainly the unprejudiced opinion of Tourists will agree with that of Thackeray, who has given to this noble river the verdict of Beau ty . In order to view these beauties it is necessarj- that this trip be taken by daylight, and w^e recommend to the notice of our readers the splendid steamers " Chauncey Vibbard" find " Daniel Drew," of the Day-line of Steamers. These are indeed floating palaces, for th^ speed and arrangements of the vessels, and the luxurious fittings of the saloons, are iiot surpassed by any other line of boats on the continent. The ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 7 People's Line of Steamers, the " St. John" and " Drew," «re ■equally fine boats, and in their appointments, are not ex- celled by any steamers in the world. One of these magJii- licent steamers leaves foot of Canal Street at 6 p.m. und passes the beautiful scenery of the Palisades before dark, arriving at Albany by (j a.m. The day steamers leav«-jthe wharf at Desbrosses street every m4)rning, calling- at the foot of .34th street and run up the 1 50 niilcs of the Hudson l)y G o'clock in the evening. For the tirst twelve miles of our upward journoj'- weiildi't along the Island of Manhattan, upon which the city of JS'ew York is built. One of the first objects of interest we see on the rii^ht hand is the handsome stone edifice of the New York Orphan Asylum, where nearly 200 children of both sicxos are clothed, fed, and taught, and ultimately assisted to find respectable employment. The happy and contented looks of these poor children are, perhaps, the most satisfactory ]>roofs of the success of this inestimable institution, which, founded in 1800, by several benevolent ladies, has gradually progress- ed, until it now occupies the stately and comfortable hoiir-e whoso gardens stretch down to the very edge of the watei*.

Those rocks are from three to six hun- dred feet hio'h, and present the same bold front to th river that the celebrated Giants Causeway does to the ocean. They extend about 15 miles, from Fort Lee to the hills of Hock- land county, and tbrm a separating line between the valley of the Hudson and that of the Hackensack, and such an ett'ec- tual barrier do they present, that tho Hackensack River flows side by side with the Hudson, but at a higher level, for thirty miles, and at a distanc of within two or three hundred yards. The rock is tluit known as tho Basaltic trap rock, one of the oldest geological formations. About two miles and a-half above Spuj-ton Duyvil, the tourist will perceive a handsome stone castellated building. This was erected by Mr. Edwin Forrest, the eminent trage- dian, as a residence, and is called Fonthill. It has now changed hands, and is a portion of the building belonging to the convent and Academy of Mount St. Vincent, as the sur- rounding neighborhood is called, having a station on the Hud- son River Railway. Two miles higher iij^, we come to the flourishing villnge of Yonkers. Near the river stands an old building, a portion of which was erected in 1G82 as a manor house, in which may be seen a curious fire place, formed of tiles illustrating scripture subjects, 100 in all, and still retain- ing their fresl' appearance. Tho whole interior of the build- ing serves to mark the quaint yet tasteful style of house decoration in the early times. This building (with additions) is now used for a town hall. Near the village, the little ^nw mill River runs into the Hudson. Thowdiole valley through which the Sawnnill River runs is very beautiful, and tho angler will find the stream well stocked with fish. Four miles more steaming through a strikingly picturesque country brings us to Hastings and Dobb's Ferry, at both of which places the Railroad, which runs along the river, lias stations.

We leave [)hilolo- gists to deeido on the derivation of the name, which by some iw referred to the Dutch, who once wore in force hero. At SiNO-SiNG, the next station on the line, the tourist may possibly exhibit less anxiety to tarry, for, as is well known, it is the seat of the Mount Pleasant Prison, belonging to the State of New York. The village itself contains about five thousand inhabitants, and is nearly two hundred feet above the river. The ])rison is Jbuilt near the rivor ; thutfor males being on the lower stage, whilst tho building for females is higher up tho slope. It lias boon completed since 1830, andean accommodate over a thousand persons, the buildings having from time to time boon increased, as more room was needed. Immediately oj>posito Sing-Sing, the Eockhmd Lake Ice Com})uny have their depot, and employ a largo number of men each winter to cut and store ice for the coming summer's consumption in New York. It is curious to note that whereas New York is almost entirely sujiplied with ice from this neighborhood, it is also supplied with watei* from the Croton Lake, which is hard by. This lake is estimated to contain over six hundred million gallons of watei", and (daily) lifty to sixty million gallons are contributed by it to su2)ply Now York with this necessary of life. The water is conveyed from this lake, which is chiefly formed by a long dam being built across it, through an aqueduct thirty-throe miles long, right up to New York. The entire cost of this aqueduct was tvvelve million dollars. It is built of stone, bi-ickand cement, arched above and below, seven feet eight intdies wide at the 12 ALL HOUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. top, and six feet three inches at the bottom, the side w«ll« being ei,ht teet tivo inches high.

Two miles further on, on the western side of the river, is Grassy Point, a small village where bricks are made, and again, one mile higher up, is Stoney Point, where there is a redoubt of considerable extent — another one on the opposite side, at Ycrpbnk's Point, guarding the entrance to what is called the " Lower High- lands." ' Three miles above Stoney Point is Gibraltar or Cald- avell's Landing. Dunderberg Mountain rises its tower- ing head almost immediately in the rear of this spot. Directly- opposite is Peekskill, a thriving village of some five or six thou.sand inhabitants. The river here makes a sudden bend to the west. This is called the Rfice, and the scenery from here for the next fifteen miles is unequalled in beauty. On the right we pass by a rock promontory called Anthony's Nose, whilst on the loft or western side, we have the Dun- derberg Mountain already alluded to. Anthony's Nose is thirteen hundred feet above the surface of the river. The Hudson Kivor Railway has had to tunnel under the bottom of this mountain for a distance of two hundred feet. On the opposite side of the river, a large creek can be seen, where vessels of almost any size could anchor. The entrance to this creek is guarded on one side by Fort Clinton^ and on the other by Fort Montgomery, the two so close to one another that rifle shots could be easily exciianged, Fort Montgomery being on the northern side and Fort Clinton on the lower. Almost immediately under the shadow, as it w^ere, of the former fort, lies the picturesque little island of lona, belong- ing to Dr. C. W. Grant, and covered in the summer time with vines and pear trees, in the successful culture of which the worthy Doctor is supposed to be unoquallod, A little way above lona, and but half-a-mile below West ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. Point, we come upon the Buttermilk Falls, caused by the flowing down of a small stream into the river below, and foiling over the hillside a hundred feet in as many ynxN This fall, when increased by any late rains or s^'n^.n by ALL ROUND ROUTE ..ND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 15 freshets, well deserves the homely name by which it is known, the snow-white foam truly giving it the aj)i)earance of buttermilk. Ilalf-a-raile further up brings us to "Cozzen's Hotel Dock" at West Point. Here the vessel on which we are travelling stops for a while, to land passengers who are anxious to remain a day or so at Cozzen's comfortable hotel. This, during the summer season, is a very favorite resort, and much crowded; travellers would do well to make use of the telegraph a day beforehand to bespeak accommodation, or they may find themselves disai)pointed on their arrival. One mile more brings us to " West Point" itself, the most lovely of all the lovely spots on the river. It is well known that the great Military Academy is situated here. Space will not enable us to enter fully into a description of the course of instruction pursued; suffice it to say that the fact of a young man having i)a8sed through the course is a clear proof of his being an officer and a gentleman in its broadest sense. The traveller may well pass a few hours in this locality, and if he should happen to be acquainted with any of the professors or cadets in the Militarj^ College, he will be enabled to go over the buildings, dift'erent galleries, &c., and judge for himself as to whether the instruction and discipline kept up is not likely to pro- duce some of the finest military men- soldiers that any European nation mi|>ht be proud of Reluctantly we must draw ourselves away from West Point, and allow our steamer to plough her way once more along the flowing cur- rent, and between the shady and overhanging clifl:s which give so much character to the scene at this spot. A very few revolutions of the wheel will bring us between the Eoterberg Mountain on the western side, and the rock called Breakneck on the e stern bank, forming an imposing entrance to Kewburg J vy, from which a series of moun- tains, hills and cliffs rise in succession until they seem 16 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. almost to shut out all remaining nature, and to give the Jdea t at one i. atthe .otto, of a large b;sin, «;.? ^hleh the.e IS no possible exit.

Its nearness to the river, and to West Point, makes It a very fovorite place for travellers to spend some few days whilst many stay here a very much longer time dur- ing the warm weather. Between Cornwall and Newburo lies the once prosper- ous but now sadly decayed settlement of j^Ew Windsor It IS now almost entirely a collection of small houses in great want of repair.

The brewery of Mr. Beveridge is situated here, where ales are made which are knoAvn all over the country, and on a hot day, are considered a most acceptable " beverage." Among the large buildings is an extensive flannel factory, in which a very large number of hands are daily em- ployed. Exactly opposite Newburg is the more modest* looking village of FisHKiLL Landing, from which place any traveller anxious to ascend the South Beacon hill can do so with the assistance of any of the boy guides to be picked up in the streets of th : village; and let us tell the traveller that he had better avail himself of our advice and take a guide, or before he reaches the top he may have repented of not having done so, as it is quite easy to loss oneself in the numerous gorges and ravines that are about the summit of the Beacon, As this is one of the highest mountains about here, the view from the top is most extensive and interest- ing. Far up to the north the Catskill Mountains can be dis- cerned, wliilo to the east the Sh'awangunk hills are to be seen. Southwards, again, Boterberg and Breakneck, already seen, guard the pass through which the river run- ning at our feet finds its w&y down to the sea. But it is time that w'e should descend from our h fty position and go on our way up the river. A broad, rocky platform, jutting out into the river, can- not fail to attract the traveller's attention. This is called the Devil's Danskammer, or Dancing Chamber, and, down to a comparatively late date, was used by the Indians as the scene of some of their religious ceremonies. For about the next five miles we steam on through pretty country, though without finding anything striking enough to draw attention, until we pass the little village of New Ham- burg, lying at the mouth of Wappinoer Creek, which is ill . !i, IB ALL ROUND ROUTE AXD PANORAMIC GUIDE. navigable for some distance ii}). The railroad crosses the Wappingef by a causeway and drawbridge, and then pierces a promontory jutting out into the river, by a tunnel about eight hundred feet long. New Hamburg is a pretty little village, but nothing more. About a mile higher up, and on o m a 13 a » X fn o ^ l,Sl,:|lii!!ililiii the opposite side of the river, is another village called Eamp- TON, then comes Marlborough, two miles higher up still, with Barnegat nearly opposite, on the right hand j^ide, arni* again Milton Landing two miles more on the left hand side. As these villages lie mostly on the high banks of the rivor m ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 19 there is not much to be seen of them from the boats, but they act as outlets or ports to the country districts lying- behind Them; and, judging from the numerous comfortable- looking country-houses in their immediate neighborhood, must be tolerably thriving. As already stated, these villages are hardly important enough to require mention, but we now approach a town of some twenty thousand inhabitants, rejoicing in the peculim* name of Pougiikeepsie, and nearly half-way between New York and Albany, being seventy-five mHes from the former, and about seventy from the capital of the State through which Yve are passing. It was formerly settled by the Dutch, towards the close of the seventeenth century, and is situated, like most of their river cities, at the mouth of a tributary Hti-eam or creek. The village, as it was then, has much ex- tended, and now occupies the large open plain about two hundred feet above the river. The streets are broad, hand- some, and well planted with trees, affording in summer grateful shelter from the piercing rays of the sun. Pough- keepsie is best known for the very excellent schools and' colleges which it maintains. The Yassar Female College, which is one of the finest in the country, occupies a commanding position a short distance back of the city. Six miles above Poughkeepsio, after a sudden bend in the river, we come upon some rocky and precipitous banks. This used to be called by the original settlers '' Krom Ello- boge," but has since been Anglicised into " Crum Elbow." Quite close to this, only higher up from the river, stands the village of Fyde-Park, called after a former Governor of the State of New York, Sir Edward Hyde, who, we regret to say, did not leave a very satisfactory reputation behind him; his tyrannical and unprincipled conduct being well known to all who have studied the history of New York when under British rule. 2a ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. RiiiNEBECK Landing lies about two miles away from the villaoo of the same name, which was first settled by one Willfam Beokman, a German, who came from the neighbor- hood of tlio llhine, and called the place partly in honor of his birthplace and partly after himself Immediatoiy opposite lllunebeck Lauding, across the river, is Kingston s LANDING, a (piiet little village, pleasant enough, but without auy great activity apparent, though Kingston cement, which comes from here, is in much request. "Between this and ]Iudson, fifteen miles otf, we come upon a number of large, substantially built and handsome country houses, with lawns of smooth turf stretcl) ing down towards the river, and an air of luxury and wealth pervading the whole estates. Six miles above HiiiNEBECKis BARRTT0WN,and four miles •above Barrytown is Tivoli, each of them posses.^ing a station on the railroad, though, like many of the other vil- lac^es we have had a glance at, small and unpretentious, lufving, however, possibly a vast idea of their own import- ance, as a great deal of the farm and garden produce of these villages is sent up to supply the wants of the Fifth Avenue, and other districts of the greaf city. Opposite Tivoli, on the western bank of the river, stands a flourishing little village called Saugeuties, at the mouth of the Esopus Creek. This little place boasts manufactories of iron, paper, a-nd white lead, and a fine flagstone quarry. Two miles from Saugerties we pass Malden, which lies backed by the Cats- kill iMountains, and about ten miles on we come to the large village of Catskill. Passengers from New York by railroad who wish to as- e^itd the mountains, must alight at Catskill Station, and cross by ferry to the village, and we sincerely recommend our travellers to avail themselves of this trip. They will find plenty of omnibuses and stages to take them to the Mountain IIous<^, and the Clove, about twelve miles oft'.

But the Clove, or Cleft, down which the stream '' runs to the Hudson, is really wild and savage, andronuxn- " tic enough for the most ardent lover of such rough scenery. <' These Falls are the outlets of two ponds far up the moun- ''tain, united and leaping down a perpendicular rock in two <' falls one of one hundred and eighty feet, and another of ''< eighty feet in height, and emptying through the Cove, -a " deep chasm, into the plain below." Five miles from the CatskiU Station, on the eastern side of the river, we come to the large and handsomely-built city of Hudson, the chief town in Columbia County, one hundred and fifteen miles from New York, and thirty from' Albany. The city is built on an eminence above the river, like many of the other villages we have passed in our course. The streets are wide and well laid out, and altogether the place ill k i: i I vsi 22 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. Iui8 an air of thrift and prosperity. Tho principal street is fulled the Promenade, and laid out with trees and shrubs with excellent taste. One side is built with handsome houses, and the other is open to the river, and runs along the bank for nearly a mile. Any one anxious to i)ay a visit to the Shaker Village at Moan\ Lebanon had better leave the boat here, and take the train wliich leaves for Chathani three times during the day, and there the traveller will connect with tho Boston and Albany Eailway, and, after an hour's journey of twenty- three miles, will be landed at the Shaker Village itself. Space will not allow an extended notice of this remarkable village ; suffice it to say that cleanliness, and all the other car- dinafvirtues, reign paramount. Order, temperance, frugality antl Shaker worship, are the things that strike one's senses oa first arriving. Every one here is free. No soldiers, no police, no judges live here, and among members of a society ill which every man stakes his all, appeal to the Courts of Law is a thing unknown. Among a sect where celibacy is th.e first and principal code, it would seem as if such a so- ciety Avould of itself die a natural death ; but yearly many fresh converts to the sect are made, and not only among the old and those tired of this world's pomps and vanities, but from the young and healthy of both sexes. Happiness, peace and plenty are so evident in all the villages of this most peculiar of all religious societies, that it is not remark- able to hear that at the census of 1860 the Shakers were di;8Covered to number from six to seven thousand, and at the present day they count considerably more. Mr. Hep- worth Dixon has written so fully about them in his interesting work, entitled *' New America," that we should recommend the curious, or those who have visited any of their villages, to obtain the book and " read them up." AYe must go back to our steamer at Hudson, however, after this digression, and before leaving this interesting ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 28 U)wn may montion that tho village o])posite, which has the high-HOUiKling luimeof Athens given to it, (though for what reason, we know not,) can be reached by a small steam ferry. Thei-e is nothing, however, to reward the task of crossing, except perhajjs in order to obtain a good view of Hudson ; but as this can be done quite as satisfiictorily from the deck of our steamer, we will presume our readers will not attempt the passage, hut continue with us for the next thirty miles of our trip to Albany. The light-house seen on tho western side of tho river on Four Mile Point, (that distance from Hudson) marks the liead of navigation for ships. About a mile higher up, on the same side, is Coxsackie Village, the older portion is called Coxsackie street, and lies on a large plain about a mile back from the river. New Baltimore and Coeyman's are two smaller settlements north of Coxsackie, with Sciiodack Landing immediately on the other side, whilst four miles higher up is Castleton. Here the well known sand-bar, callelo daughter, the fluttering l)ee of fashion and the gentler l)ird of beauty are found amidst the tiirong, for Saratoga is cosmopolitan. The ladies have here ample ojipor- tunity for the display of their peculiar cliarms and graces The s] uniting gentleman finds opportunity of gratifying his peculiar tastes, the philosopher may study human nature in all its i)hase8, and the invalid may oft times find that most precious of all gems, perfect health. In fact, to all classes, Saratoga oilers some pleasure suited to their peculiar desires. Sjf'j^£,Am •"K 0>t/(-)^ ^ o r ^i- ^A^At<^<5A H O T TH L. S . t .

It is situ- ated midway between Congress and Empire Sjirings, ju^ outside the crowd and bustle of business. It is four stories high, and is strictly first class in every res]iect, while tho charges are very moderate. This is the nearest Hotel to the celebrated High Rock, Saratoga Star, Excelsior and Seltzer Springs, and within a few minutes walk of tho Hathorn, Congress and others. It stands on higher ground than any Hotel in Saratoga, and is kept with a view to af- fording the greatest comforts and luxuries to its patrons. Parties and families wishing rooms and board for the season will find reasonable terms. The i)roprietors, Messrs. Roberts & Riggs, have had large experience, and every attention is paid to their guests. Tho Arlington House, under the able manngement o^ Messrs. Campbell & Shaw, also merits the attention of tourists. This Hotel, as also the Waverly just noticed, are open throughout the whole year, and are well patronized. ■ The Clarendon, owned by Chas. E. Leland, has always been patronized by a choice, wealthy and aristocratic class, and guests are made to feel perfectly at home by the careful attention of every employee. Besides these there are many smaller hotels which are well kept. Having made our choice, we sally forth to see th6 sights, and at once decide that Saratoga is a very plea- sant and pretty village. We find its streets wide and well shaded with trees, while on either hand rise lofty and elegant structures. But our steps are directed towards the " Springs," and as we visit in turn those wonderful outflows from the bosom of mother earth, we are informed that, for their improvement and utilization, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended, and that at the present moment, Saratoga contributes of its healing waters " to almost every portion of the habitable globe.'' i'f« 82 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. ^il V ALL ROUND ROUIIS AND PANOPAMIC GUIDE. 88 Tho waters which flow from those natural curiosities are known as "chalybeate, and acidulous saline." This division arises from the relative proportions of their parti- cles, the constituent ones, being carbonate of soda, chloride of sodium, carbonate of magnesia, hydriodate of soda, silicia and alumina, carbonic acid gas with occasionally traces of iodine and potassa. According to the proportions of these foi?nd in each spring, so is the name given. Congress Spring, the most important, was discovered iu 1792 by three gentlemen who were hunting in the neigh- boring woods. It takes its name out of compliment, first, to one of the discoverers who was a member of Con- gress, and secondly for the superior strength of its waters, which were first bottled as an article of merchandise in 1823. A few rods south-west on the same grounds is the Columbian Spring which contains more iron than the Con- gress, and occupies a very conspicuous place among tho tonic waters . Tho first spring tubed in Saratoga, but almost the last prepared as an article of commerce, is thu Washington Spring. It was tubed in 1806. Near this there was formerly a fish pond containing large numbers of trout. The Crystal Spring was opened in 1870. The Hamilton Spring is about 30 rods north of the Congress, and a little further north is the Ilathorn spring accidentally discovered while preparing the foundations of the Congress Hall Block. Putnam and Ellis Springs are chalybeate water, and the former has a large bathing establishment con- nected therewith. Pavillion S])ring, before it was tubed and prepared^ lay in a deep morass, and rose through a deposit of alluvial soil over 40 feet deep. The remaining springs are the Flat Eock, United States, the Star, iormerly called the Iodine, and known for more than 50 years, the Seltzer, the Empire, which discharges about t5 gallons per hour, the lied Spring, so called from the color of its waters TOlifin norUfiffifl th*^ F-vnnlsjimv Eni'^kfl and Whitfi Slilnhur. ii 84 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. tt.i Among tlio most interontlng of the npringH arc tho High Rook, and tho Goynor.

Some years ago the owners of the spring removed tho rock and found below it a chamber about two feet in diameter and ten feet deep in which lay the body of a tree 18 inclios in diameter and in a perfect state of preservation, while several feet below it, was a trunk of an oak tree which had suffered but little decay.

Tho Oo^'sor or Spouting Sprin^^ is situated about a mile and a lialf from tho village. It was discovered in 1S70. Appearances of a spring in the vicinity led to tho sinking of a sliaft througji solid rock 140 feet doi^-p, wlien the waters burst forth and spouted a considerable distance from the surface. The water is exceedingly cold, being only 14 degrees above the freezing i)oint. In 1872 the Glacier Spring was discovered near the Geyser, and, like it, is also a Spout- ing Spring. We have now shewn the toui'ist and explained to him the nature of tho wonders which annuail}^ attract sucli immense throngs to Saratoga, increasing as "tho season" reaches its height, until the village from a regular population of 9,000 has within its boundaries over 30,000. During tho height of the season the hotel arrivals fre- quently number 1000 daily. Life in Saratoga is two-fold — Home and Hotel. The for- mer is enjoyed by the residents of the village; whose refined and elegant homes are not to be excelled in any city of the United States. Hotel or fashionable life is ephemeral in its nature, and like the beauteous butterfly, its duration is but for a short season. In those few brief months wealth, beauty, fashion, and other ingredients not so desirable, intermingle, and amid the gay whirl and excitement of the ball-room at night, visits to tho Springs in the morning and promenades or drives in the afternoon, is found tho daily programme of I*' I, 86' ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 11 ■!

But before returning to Albany we would, for the benefit of those who l)urpose visiting Lake George and its sui-roundings, say that at a distance of 16 miles beyond Saratoga is Fort Edward Station, where a branch line runs up to the picturesque vil- lage of Glen Falls.

It is the finest sheet of water in the world — beautiful and romantic — dotted over with verdant isles, and on its shores an; built many elegant villas. This lake was the scene of many thrilling events during the early Indian wars and those of 1V75. On either end of the Lake are situated Fort William Henry and Ticonderoga. In romantic scenery and stirring interest attached to the historic legends of this locality, Lake George is unrivalled. Near the ruins of Fort William Henry stands the Fort William Henry Hotel, a spacious and beautiful house, containing accommodation for over 900 guests ; the grounds are laid out with great elegance, and a fine view of the southern end of the Lake is obtained therefrom. A broad l^romenade, said to be the finest on the continent, runs the whole length of the house, and the interior is fitted up re- gardless of expense. The furniture and all the appurtenances are of the finest description, and every convenience or luxury, which the choice or taste of the tourist may demand, are here sui)plied. The Hotel is owned by G. T.Roessle& Son, whose names are familiar with the travelling public not only in connection with this house but also of the Delevan House, Albany, for 20 years, and also the Arlington at Washington, B.C. All fruits and vegetables are supplied from Mr. T. Roessle's farm near Albany— acknowledged to be one of the best cultivated in the country, and from thence is brought the fine celery which appears upon the table during the whole season. We feel assured that the toui-ist will, after a stay at the Fort William Henry, agree with us, that its comforts and conveniences are all that can be desireil. Directly in front of the Portico of the Hotel is an elegant Pagoda, where a fine Band sends forth sweet strains to wel-' come the arrival of the boats, and also enlivens the dinner hour. From the Battery on the Fortification is given the number of arrivals by each steamer. In connection with the hotel are ten pin alleys,shooting gallerieSjCroquet ground^^ ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE, 41 and billiard halls, Qalculated to suit the most ftistidlous. The ruins of Fort George lie to the east of the Hotel. All that now remains of this " relic of heroic deeds" are the ruins of the rectangular citadel that stood within the line of the fortifications. A walk leads from the Hotel around the foot of Rattlesnake Hill and upward to its summit, from whence a line view can be obtained. A fine livery is kept for the purpose of enjoying the many delightful drives in the vicinity, and specially constructed conveyances have been secured for the purpose of ascending to Prospect Mountain House. The view obtained from this point is unsurpassed. The tourist has within view, five lakes with Champlain over 100 miles distant, the whole range of the Green Mountains, the Adirondacks, the Catskills,the Hudson river with the Crane Mountains to the south-west. A fine view of Lake George, with its numerous islands, bays, hotels and villas, is also obtained. General Sherman, during his visit to Fort William Henry and Lake George, pronounced it the finest watering place in the world. In fact Lake George must be visited ere it can be appreciated, as the pen fails to do it justice. » We now return to Albany, whence we diverged, and pro- ceed to take our tourists to Montreal by the round-about, "but interesting route via Niagara. ALBANY. Albany is the capital of the State of Ncav York and was first settled in 1612. It contains many buildings well worthy of notice, and the new State Capitol, now in course of erection, is a magnificent structure. The view n-om the Capitol is very fine, as the whole of the city and a large tract of the surrounding country can be seen from this eminence. Those of our travellers who wish to take things easily, and rest a night or some few hours at Albany, will find themselves very comfortably put up at the (, 42 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. " Delevan House," one of the best houses in the state, kept by Messrs. Charles G. Leland & Co. They can then take the train on the Now York Central Kailway for Utica, en route to TRENTON FALLS. As these Falls lie only about seventeen miles off the line of railway, with a branch railroad right up tothera, they ought not to be passed without a visit. Wo will therefore take our seats in the cars at Albany, by the morning train, change at Utica, and either hire a conveyance there to take us on, or get into tlio cars which connect with this train, and bring us to the Trenton Falls Station a little after noon. The river forming the Trenton Fahb is called the West Canada Creek, but as this name is not euphonious the Falls have been named after the town, or parish in which they are situated. There is no one special cataract at Trenton which in itself is pre- eminently grand or licautiful. It is more the position, form and rapidity of the river which give the charm, and make it considered by many as one of the most picturesque and lovely spots on the continent. The stream descends 123 feet in two miles by a series of falls of great beauty. As the usual passage for tourists is along the bed of the river itself, it can, be understood that to see tliese Falls aright there must not be too much water. The end of July, or the commencement of August, is the time to see them in their beauty. In order to justify their name, there are two actual waterfalls here, which within a few hours' journey from Niagara, or seen after that mightiest of all cataracts, would appear as trifles, but when taken on one's way to the Falls, and viewed in connec- tion with the surrounding scenery, are well worthy of the visit we propose to malvL. The banks of the river are thickly wooded on each side, wUh broken cleftb l.oro and there, through which the colors of the foliage shew them- selves, and straggling boughs and rough roots^break tlirough ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 43 N m 44 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. •if V '5 ^^^B m ■ M the high rocks, and add to the wildnoss and charm of the scene. A comfortable hotel is situated in the village, where travel- lers can get all their wants supjilied, and then take the cars back to Utica, where they can again join the New York Central line, and proceed via Kome, Syracuse, Eociiester and LocKPORT on their way to Niagara. As wo presume that this journey will be made without any further stoppages, we shall skip all these places, and merely say that they ar- the ordinary specimens of American towns, having broad streets, avenues of trees, large stores, and excellent houses, with an air of prosperity about the whole of them. Those who desire to travel from New York to Niagara Falls, via the Erie Railway, will find that route a desirable one, both for elegant and sumptuous drawing room and sleeping couches, with which it is well provided, as well as the grand and picturesque scenery through which the road passes. The beautiful valley of the Delaware, the gorgeous Susquehanna, and the wonderful and charming "Wyoming valley, all present a picture to the tourist of unrivalled interest. Portage, on the direct line to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, is celebrated for its Wooden Trestle Bridge, the largest structure of the kind in the world, being 800 feet long by 234 feet in height, sustained by 13 stone piers, spanning the Genesee River. Its cost was over 8175,000. Some con- ception of its magnitude may be formed when it is known that in its construction 1,600,000 feet of timber, and 106,820 lbs. of iron were used, and the design and architecture are such, that, while undergoing repairs, any portion of it may be removed, without weakening the structure or retarding or interfering with the progress of trains. It is here also the Genesee River enters a grand rocky defile, presenting, as far as the eye can reach, a succession of wild and varied scenery.

Tho rapidity of the water at this point, and tho greai height of tho rocky blulfs which skirt tho river, lend enchantment to the scene. To quote from an eminent author: "If tho Portage or Genesee Falls were in Yosemite Valley, or among tho Alps, instead of twelve hours from Now York, they would bo visited and painted, and |^hotograi3hod, and written of, a groat deal more." At Portage Bridge there is a fine hotel, capacious, and furnished throughout in modern stylo. Continuing our journey, in duo time wo roach the Suspen- sion Bridge, which spans tho river, two miles below tho Falls. NIAGARA FALLS. Having landed our travellers safely at Suspension Bridge, the choice of an hotel is the matter of first and paramount importance. General opinion is much divided on this sub- ject, many travellers asserting that the American side is the only one to stop on and see the Falls, as tho Rapids, and Goat Island are all to be reached from that side, and from that alone; whilst others take the broader view of the question that these minor sights ought to give place to the Falls, and therefore the only place to obtain an Ii] |8l ' 46 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. •uninterriipted view of the two mighty cataracts is from the Canadian side. We shall, however, leave this question to be decided by the traveller, and merely observe that the hotels on^both sides arc very good, viz., the "International" and *' Cataract" on the American side, and the "Clifton" on the Canadian shore, either of which houses can be well recom- mended. Before proceeding to give a description of the Falls, it may be well, en passant, to briefly notice the Suspension Bridge, which is admitted by all to be a wonder- ful triumph of engineering skill. Mr. Eoeblinir, of Trenton, Kew Jersey, was the engineer of this Bridge, which^ as the name implies, is constructed on the suspension system! Th3 two towers supporting the entire structure, which is in one span, (800 ft.), ai-e about 70 feet high, and built on and into the solid rock; the ia'idge is supported by four cables each composed of 8000 wires and measuring QJ, inches in diameter, aggregate length of wire employed being more than 4,000 miles, whilst the entire weight of the Brid-e is 12,400 tons. Its cost was half a millon dollars. It is%on- structed fo]« the joint pui-poses of road and pedestrian traffic, and for the Great Western Railway of Canada. It was first crossed by a locomotive March 8, 1855. The carriage and foot way is suspended 28 feet below the floor of the railway track. There is a small loll levied on all passengers, and a custom-house officer will make a cursory and rapid search lest any articles liable for duty are being carried across from the United States into the Dominion of Canada, or vice versa Proceeding to the Falls, our task is now in as few words as possible to direct the tourist as to what to see and how to see it. We will, therefore, explain that the lai-ger cataract, stretching from shore to shore, is the Canadian or Horse Shoe Fall, whilst the smaller one is the American. The dimensions of the two Falls must necessarily be a matter ol computation, and they are estimated as follows: Sp, ' ALL ROUND- ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 47 The American Fall 900 feet across, with a drop ofin4 feet The Canadian Fall, 1,000 feet across, with a drop of 158 feet and it is stated by Professor Lyell that fifteen hundred millions of cubic feet of water pass over this fall every hour ' The traveller m his first visit to the Falls is impressed' with a sense of inexpressible amazement.

NEW SUSPENSION BEIDGE. The desirability jf erecting a bridge nearer the fjills, and for carriage or foot passengers only, had long been spoken of, and finally, after much trouble and perseverance, charters wore obtained from the State of New York and the Province of Ontario, and the work was commenced in 1867. It was opened to the public on the 1st January, 1869. Its cost was nearly $120,000. It is located about 1,800 feet below the American Falls on the American side, landing on the Cana- dian side only 8 or 10 rods below the Clifton House. The towers on the Canadian side are 120 feet high, and on the American side 106 feet high. The span is 1,230 feet from tower to tower. The height from the water to the floor of the bridge is 256 feet. There is a single track foi carringes, ' and space at one side for foot passengers. The bridge has a* each side a strong railing live feet high ; the estimated strength of the structure is over 150 tons, and as 10 or 15 tons is all that could well be placed on the bridge at any one time by its ordinary traffic the greatest confidence pre- vails as to its stability. It has now passed through three winters with its load of ice and frozen spra}^ so that it is no onger an experiment but a fixed fact, and full confidence has been established. It stands as a groat lasting monument to J. T. Bush, who conceived the project, and carried it to a successful termina- ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 49 .t tion.

The best place to get a view of this wild tumultuous scene is about a quarter of a mile below the Suspension Bridge. Let the visitor by a'.l means descend to the water's edge at this point.

THE DEYIL'S HOLE ' " Is a lai-ffc triangular chasm in the bank of the river, tlireo and a half miles below the falls. The Bloody Ttun, a ravine so called fi-om a sanguinary engagement between two hostile Indian tribes, falls into this chasm. THE THREE SISTERS. These are three small islands, lying side by side, near the liead of Goat Island. The remotest of this group is the island from which Mr. Joel R, Robinson rescued a Mr. Allen in the summer of 1841. Mr. Allen, having started just before sundown for Chipjiewa, (a village three miles up the river on the Canada side,) had the misfortune to break one of his oars in the -midst of the river. The current caught Jiis boat and bore it rapidly towards the Falls. As his only hope of safety, he steered with the remaining oar for the head of Goat Island, but f^iiling to strike that, she was bearing wiftly past this little island, when, knowing tha* +i>e alternative was certain doom, he sprang for the land, •<. : reached it with but little injury. Having matches in his pocket, ho struck a signal light at the head of this island, but it was not seen until morning. Mr. Robinson rescued him by means of a boat and cable. The tirst of the sisterhood, or the island nearest you, is called Moss Island. That feathery show of a cataract be- tween yourself and Moss Island is called the Hermit's Cas- cade, from its having been the usual bathing ])lace of Fran- cis Abbott, the Hermit of Niagara. THE HERMIT OF THE FALLS. As we think it will be interesting we will relate the story of this strange person. About twenty-five years since, in the glow of cax'ly summer, a young stranger of pleasing ALL KOUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 55 n '4 56 ALL KOUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE, m< I countcnanco and person made his appearance at Niagai'.*! It way lit first conjectured that he was an artist, a largo port- folio, with books and musical insti uments, being among his baggage. He was deeply impressed with the majesty and sublimity of the Cataract and the Mirrounding scenery, and expressed an intention to remain a week, that ho might -ur- vey them at his leisure. But the fascination, which all minds of sensibility feel in the presence of that glorious work of the Creator, grew strongly upon him, and he was heard to say that six weeks were insufficient to "become acquainted with its beauties. At the end ( f that period ho was still unable to tear himself away, and desired to " build there a tabernacle," that he might indulge in his love of sol- itary musings, and admire at leisure the sublimity of nature. He applied for a spot on the Three Sisters' Island, on which to erect a cottage after his own model ; one of the peculiar- ities of which was a drawbridge, to insure isolation. Cir- cumstances forbidding compliance with this request, he took up his residence in an old house on Iris Island, which ho rendered a« comfortable as the state of the case would admit. Here he remained about eighteen months, when the intru- sion of a family intei-rupted his habits of seclusion and medi- tation. He then quietly withdrew, and reared for .himself a less commodious habitation near Prospect Point. When winter came, a cheerful tiro of wood-hlazed upon the hearth, and he beguiled the long hours of evening by reading and music. It was strange to hear in such solitude, the long- drawn, thrilling notes of the viol, or the softest melody of the flute, gushing forth from that low- browed hut, or the guitar breathing out so lightly amid the rush and thu.nler of the never slumbering torrent. Though the world of lot- ters was familiar to his mind, and the living world to his observations, for he had travelled widely, both in his native Europe and the East, besought not association with man- kind, to unfold or to increase his stores of knowledge.

At the gray dawn he went to visit it in the vail of mist; at noon, ho banqueted in the full splendoi of its glory; beneath the soft tinting of the lunar bow ho lingeretl, looking for tho angel whose pencil had painted it ; and at solemn midnight, he knelt at the same shriuo. Neither the storms of autumn, nor tho piercing cold of winter, prevented his visits to tho temple of his adoration. There was, at this time, an ex- tension of the Serappin Bridge, by a single beam of timber, carried out ten feet over the fathomless abyss, where it hung tremulously, guarded only by a rude parapet. Along this beam he often passed and repassed in the darkness of niglit. He even took pleasure in grasping it with his hands, and thus suspending himself over the awful gulf; so much had his morbid enthusiasm taught him to revel amid the terri- bly sublime. Among his favorite gratifications, was that of bathing, in which he indulged daily. One bright but rdther chilly day in the month of June, 1831, a man employed about the ferry saw him go into tho water, and for a long time ai\er observed his clothes to bo still lying upon the bank.

In the course of their search, they passed on to the Whirlpool. There, amiv. +hose boiling eddies, was the body, making fearful and rapid gyrations upon the face of the black waters. At some point of suction it suddenly plunged and disappeared. Again emerging, it was fearful to see it leap half its length above the flood, then float motionless as if exhausted, and anon spring upward and seem to struggle like a maniac battling with a mortal foe. h'or days and nights this terrible scene was prolonged. It was not until the 21st of June that after many eff'orts they were able to recover the body and bear it to his desolate cottage. There they found his fhithful dog guarding the door. Heavilj- had the long period worn away while he watched for his only friend, and wondered why lie delayed his coming. He scrutinized the approaching group suspiciously, and would not willingly have given them ad- mittance. A stifled wail at length showed his intuitive knowledge of his master, whom the work of death had eff'ec- tually disguised from the eyes of men. On the pillow was his pet kitten, and in diflerent parts of the room were his guitar, flute, vioUn, portfolio and books, scattered, the books open, as if recently used. It was a touching sight ; the her- mit mourned by his humble retainers, the poor animals that loved him. and ready to be laid by strange hands in a foreign grave. The motives that led this singular and accomplished being, learned in the languages, in the arts and sciences, imiH'oved by extensive travel, and gifted with personal beauty and a feeling heart, to seclude himself in the flower of j^outh from human society, are still enveloped in mystery. All that is known, was, that his name was Francis Abbott, that he was a native of England, where his father was a Clergyman, and that he had received from thence ample remittances for his comfort. These facts had been previously ascertained, but no written papers wero found in his cell to throw addi- ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 59 ■=^-^ .^VilXO? 60 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. tionul light upon tho obscurity in which he had so effectually wrapped the history of his pilgrimage. THE THREE SISTER BRIDGES. These costly and substantial structures are built over the three channels which separate the Three Sisters from each other and from Goat Island, presenting new and grand views of the Rapids and Falls, unequalled from any other point. These three bridges combine strength and beauty. They arc alike, being slightly convex, that is, higher in the middle than at either end, thus adding to their strength. The ends are fastened into the solid rock. Two rods, two inches in diameter, pass under each bridge, and are also fastened in the rocks at either end. The peculiar con- struction of the railing adds much to their strength and beauty. A fourth island, or sister, was discovered while tho bridges were being built; to it a bridge has also been thrown. From the head of the third sister may be seen one continuous Cascade or Fall extending as far as the eye can reach, from Goat Island across to the Canada shore, varying from ten to twenty feet in height. From this miniature Niagara rises a sjDray similiar to that of tho great Falls. The Rapids here descend fifty-one feet in f of a mile, and they are one of the prominent features of Niagara. Viewed from the Bridge they look ake *' a battle charge of tempestuous waves, animated and infuriated, against tho sky." As they j)ass towards the fall, the commotion becomes more deeply intense, and they struggle as if desiring to escape the tremendous abyss into which they are about to be hurled. Suddenly, as they approach the verge, resignation seems to come over them, and in apparent calmness they accei)t their fate, and in an instant pass beyond our view. It is now nearly 200 years since the eye of the European first saw these wonderful rapids and falls.

As we gaze, we realize to some slight extent the tremendous jDower of the fall as well as its height.

'Phey also will find the cars waiting to receive them, and after a couple of hours ride will reach the prettily situated and thriving city of Hamilton, built upon the banks of Bur- lington Bay at the head of Lake Ontario. It is the head- quarters of the Great Western Eailway of Canada, and here the general ofiices, engine shops and work shops are located. The population of the City is about 27,000. Its banks and many of its churches (24 in number) are hand- some structures. It has also a Female College (Wesleyan) and a number of extensiv^e manufactories. John- TOEONTO.

The tourist will doubtless desire to remain in Toronto for a day or two, and visit the points of interest. We will there- fore locate him where we can assure him of every comfort and attention. The hotels yar excellence are the "Queens" and " Eossin House," between which we can scarcely discern any choice.

To reach that point we take the cars cf the Northern Eailway, and a short ride brings us to the flourishing village of Orillia, 86 miles distant from Toronto, and situated on the beautiful COUCHICHmG LAKE. This lake is about 12 miles in length, and is connected with Lake Simcoe by a channel called the Narrows. It is indented with several pretty bays and studded with islands. The Lake abounds with trouu and black bass, and to meet the v/ants of the rapidly increasing number of tourists who annually flock to its shores, a fine hotel has been erected. The position of the hotel is one of extreme beauty, over- looking the full length of the lake with its picturesque islands. The villages of OrilliK and Washago, with the highlands, beyond, and the Indian settlement of the Ojibe- ways, and Kama, on the opposite shore. The hotel is under the management of Mr. James Fennell. Three steamers ply upon the lake, conveying the tourist to the falls of Muskoka and the celebrated Sparrow Lake. From Orillia we pass onward to Collingwood, situated on the GEORGIAN BAY. This deeply romantic and lovely body of water has until recently been comparatively unknown to tourists. Its shores are extremely beautiful, and there is one continued succession of enchanting scenery. Here the wild fowl, fur bearing game, and the finny tribe disport themselves, afford- ing ample scope for the pleasure of the sportsman, or the disciple of « Isaac Walton." At Collingwood we embark on board^ of one of the commodious steamers of the Lake ■Superior Line. Proceeding through Georgian Bay, we soon arrive at ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 73 PENETANGUISHENE, an old and very important settlement situated on a lovely and secure bay. This was formerly a very important na- val and military depot. One of the Provincial penitentiaries is here located. From Coilingwood to the Sault St. Marie the scenery in of the most delightful character. Beautiful islands, whose wild scenery combined with the view of the LaCloche Mountains, rising about 2000 feet above the sea- form a grand panoramic view enjoyed from the deck of the passing steamer. ^ The most important island is that known as the " Great Manitoulin. Two hundred and ninety miles above Coiling- wood is situated the thriving town of BEUCE MINES, celebrated for the immense quantities of copper annually obtained. The mines are situated in the immediate vicinity of the village. Fifty miles beyond this village we arrive at the SAULT ST. MARIE, where we enter the ship canal. On entering the locks a grand view is obtained of the rapids of St. Mary's Eiver here about about half a mile in width. The scene is usually enlivened by a number of birch canoes floating immediately below the rapids, being guided by the dexterous Indians engaged in taking white fish, which here abound in great quantities. On leaving the canal the vessel ascends a beau- tiful stretch of the St. Mary's Eiver to POINT AUX PINS, where commences White Fish Bay. Here the shores as- $iume a bold appearance well worthy the notice of the tour- ist. At White Fish Point, 40 miles from Sault St. Marie, we commit ourselves to the broad waters of 74 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC (lUIDB. LAKE SUPEIUOII, which lio GOO feot above the sea, fi'Oin which it is distant 1500 miles. It is 4G0 miles long fi-om East to West aid 170 miles broad in its widest part, with jin estimated area of 32,000 squai-e miles, its greatest depth being 800 feet, and nearly 200 rivers and creeks em])ty their waters into its mighty bosom. Pursuing our course along the American Shore, we speedily reach the celebrated PICTUEED HOCKS, of which almost fabulous accounts have been given hy tra- vellers, and which certainly are among the wonders of this " Inland Sea." This range of rocks, which are situated al)out 110 miles from the " Sault," are a series of sandstone bluffs extending for about 5 miles and rising vertically fi-om the water, without any 1>each at the base.to a height ranging from 50 to nearly 200 feet. " The two features which coni- municate to the scenery a wor.derful and almost unique cha- racter are, first, the curious manner in which the cliffs have been worn away by the action of the lake ; and, second, the equally curious manner in which large ])ortions of the surface have been colored by bauds of brilliant hues,'' and it is a curious fact, that the colors are little affected by rains or dashing of the surf The rocks take such a variety of forms as ^to render the scene one of ever-changing beauty. Here we have the "amphitheatre," '' Sail Rock." " Le Grand Portail,"and the still more grand " La Chapclle," the most perfect specimen of nature's arcnitecture. The next point of interest is MARQUETTE, situated on the bay of the same name. This flourishing city is closely identified, Avith the extensive iron miners in the vicinity which are now being fully worked, and ALL ROUxVD ROUTlil AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 7-" the businoss employs Imndi-eds of vohsoIh of all classoH.

Wo now strike towards the centre of the lake in order to round the hu-ge extent of land which JiitH out for nearly CO miles in length. This is known as KEWEENAW POINT, probably the richest extent of mineral land in the country. For upwards of 100 miles thit^ countiy running from east to west abounds in silver and copper ores, much of it being pure native copper, and often in such largo masses as to render it impossible to be sepa- rated for transportation, and masses weighing fi'om 1000 to 5000 pounds are often sent to the Eastern markets. Round- ing this '' Point of AVealth" we pass through the " Twelve Apostle Islands," reach Superior City, and a few miles further journeying lands us at the wharves of the rival to Chicago, DUiUTII, This city is destined to become one of the most import- ant cities in the "great West." Already from the small village of eight or ten years past, it stands in the ]u-esent a city of no mean dimensions and of rapidly growing advantages. The streets are wide and regular, and the buildings are very fine. Gfas and water arc supplied to the inhabitants, and the hotels are all which could bo desired. AYith the cer- tainty of becoming a great railroad centre for the North West, and with its fine harbor and the travel which will be attracted to its neighborhood, it is a point worthy the attention of tourists. We shall now return by the "Northcvn or Canadian shores." For some miles beyond Duluth the waters of the lake wash the shores of Minnesota, and the natural objects almost vie with the Pictured Eocks on the south.

The Abbe Piquet retired from the settlement soon after the conquest of Canada, returning to France, where he died in 1781. Ogdensburg has increased rapidly within the past few years, and has now a population of about 8,000. The Ogdensburg and LakeChamplain Eailroad(now leased by the Central Vermont Company) which runs to Lake Cham- plain, a distance of one hundred and eighteen miles, and which connects at House's Point with the railroad to Boston iind Montreal, has its terminus here. The ISTorthern Trans- portation Company's Steamers connect here with the Yer- mont Central Railway. PEESCOTT is situated on the Canada side of the St. Lawrence, ojDposite Ogdensburg, and contains 3000 inhabitants. About a mile below, the town of Prescott, at a piace called " Windmill Point," are the ruins of an old stone windmill where, in 1837, WIND-MILL POINT. the " Patriots," under Von- Shultz a Polish exile, estab- lished themselves, but from which they were driven with severe loss. About five miles below Presc *tt is Chimney Island, on which the remains of an old French fortification are to be seen. The first rapid of the St. Lawrence is at this island. At Prescott those intending to visit Ottawa, will leave the boat. Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion, is fifty- four miles distant from Prescott, and the journey to it is performed by railway in three hours. We can confi- dently recommend this detour, on account of the claims of Ottawa itself, of which more anon. m 86 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. Tourists wishing to make this trip can obtain rotur» tickets at moderate fares, and join the steamer again at Prescott the following morning and descend the rapids to Montreal, which is by far the most exciting portion of the- whole journey. Continuing our journey down the river, the next town on the American side is "VVaddington ; and in the river over against it, is Ogden Island. On the Canada side is Morris- CHRYSLER'S FARM. burg, which contains about twelve hundred inhabitants. A short distance below Morristown, on the Canada side, is Chrys- ler's Farm, where, in 1813, a battle was fought between the English and the Americans. Thirty miles below Ogdens- burg is Louisville, from whence stages run to Massena Springs,a place of popular resort and of beautiful surrounding,, they are distant about Y miles. Kill 11 LONG SAULT. The increasing swiftness of the current of the river soon reveals to us +he fact that we are about to enter the first of those remarkable and celebrated Rapids of the St. Law. rence. " Shooting the rapids" (as this portion of the voyage is termed) is a most exciting scene, but no one need fear the undertaking, as fatal accidents have been comparatively un- known.The rapid we now enter is known as the "Long Sault," so call fid from itfl <*"«'+'^T»f if i^r>;^^« a- -i .n . - i j« • -^.^vviu, iu fjuiiij^ a cuiiuiiuyuhj rupm oi nine miles, divided in the centre by an island. The usual passage ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 87 for stoamors is on the south side. The channel on the north side was formerly considered unsafe and dangerous; but examinations have been made, and it is now descended with safety. The passage in the southern channel is very nar- row, and such is the velocity of the current that a raft, it is said, will drift the nine miles in forty minutes. The first passage made by a steamer down these rapids was about 1840, and then under the guidance of a cele- brated Indian named Teronhiah^rd. The rapids of the "Long Saulf'rush along at the rate of something like twenty miles an hour. When the vessel enters within their influence the steam is shut off and she is carried onwards by the force of the stream alone. The surging waters present all the angry appearance of the ocean in a storm ; the noble boat strains and labors ; but unlike the ordinary pitching and tossing at sea, this going down hill by water produces a highly novel sensation, and is, in fact, a service of some danger, the imminence of which is enhanced to the imagination by the tremendous roar of the headlong, boiling current. Great nerve and force VIBW IN THK LONG 8AULT. and precision are here required in piloting, so as to keep the vessel's head b raight with the course of the rapid ; for if she diverged iii the least, presenting her side to the current, or " broached to," as the nautical phrase is, she 88 ALL BOUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE.

At the head of tlio rapidw is a village of some 300 inha- bitants and known as Dickinson's Landing. Cornwall, a plesant town, is below the rapids at the entrance to the Canal of the same name. DICKINSON'S LANDING. KMTRANCB TO COHNWALL CANAL. After passing this place, the course of the St. Lawrence is entirely within Her Majesty's dominions. ST. REGIS, an old Indian village, lies six miles below Cornwall, on the opposite side of the river. It contains a Cataolic church, which was built about the year 1700. While the building*^ was in progress, the Indians were told by their priest that a bell was indispensable in their house of worship, and they were ordered to collect furs sufficient to purchase one. The furs were collected, the money was sent to France, and the bell was bought and shi^iped for Canada ; but the vessel which contained it was captured by an English cruiser, and taken into Salem, Massachusetts . The bell -was afterwards- purchased for the church at Deerfield. The priest of St. Regis, having heard of its destination, excited the Indians to a general crusade for its recovery They joined the expedition fitted out by the Governor against the mw England colonists, and proceeded through the then long, trackless wilderness, to Deerfield, which they attacked in the night.

The In- dians, after having com])leted their work of destruction, fji^tonod the boll to a long pole, and carried it upon their shouldeVs, a distance of nearly one hundred and fifty miles, 'to the place where Burlington now stands ; they buried it there, and in the following spring removed it to the church at St. Ecgis, where it now hangs. i LAKE ST. FRANCIS is the name of an expansion of tho St. Lawrence which begins near Cornwall and St. Regis, and extending to Coteau du Lac, a distance of forty miles. Tho surface of this lake is interpcrsed with a great number of small islands. Tho vil- lage of Lancaster is situated on the noi-thorn side, about midway, of this lake. COTEAU I)U LAC is a small village situated at the foot of Lake St. Francis. The name, as well as the style of the buildings, denotes its French origin. It is also kno\vn as St. Ignace. Just below the village are the Coteau Rapids. ALL HOUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 93 / iir vpri Ill ti , r; ^4 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. CEDARS. This village presents the same mra-ks of French orio-in as Coteau du Lae. The village is situated nearly opposite the ■Ooteau Kapids. In the expedition of Gen. Amherst (1759) a detachment oi three hundred men, that were sent to attack Montreal were losU nt^^ ds near this place. The passage through' these rapids is very exciting. Thei-e is a peculiar motion of the vessel, which in descend- ing seems like settling down, as she glides from one ledge to another. In passing the ra- cKDABl^Al'lD8. pids of the Split Rock, a per- son unacquainted with the navigation of these rapids will nlmost involuntarily hold his breath until this ledge of rocks, which is distinctly seen from the deck of the steamer, is passed. At one time the vessel seems to be running directly upon it, and you feel certain that she will strike ; but a skil- ful hand is at the helm, and in an instant more it is passed in safety. BEAUHARNOIS is a small village at the foot of the Cascades, on the south bank of the river, Here vessels enter the Beauharnois canal und pass around the rapids of the Cascades, Cedars, and Co- teau, into Lake St. Francis, a distance of fourteen miles. On the north bank, a branch of the Ottawa enters into the St. Lawrence. The river again widens into a lake called the cascades from hntrancb to BKAUHAUNOIS CANAL.

This village is nine miles from Montreal, with which it is connected by railroad. It derived its name from the first settlers who when they reached this point thought they had discovered the passage which would lead them to China. The Lachine Eapids begin just below the village. The cur- rent is here so swift and wild that to avoid it a canal has been cut around these rapids. This canal is a stupendous work iind reflects much credit upon the energy and enterprise of the people of Montreal. Opposite to Lachine is the Indian village of CAUGIIJ^AWAGA, lying on the south bank of the river near the entrance of the La Chine Rapids. It is said that the Indians who had been converted by the Jesuits, were called " Caughnawa- gas," or " praying In- dians." Hence its name. This was probably a misno- mer, for they Vv'ere distin- guishod for their predato- ry incursions upon their caughna^^^UXVillaob. 96 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANOU.AMIC GUIDE. neighbors in the New England provinces. The bell that now hangs in their church was the" proceeds" of one of these ex- cursions. The Lachine Eapids, which we now enter, are considered the most dangerous of the series. They are, however, much shorter. Immediately after passing through the rapids, we pass the ancient village of Laprairie, on the south shore of the river. This place is interesting from the fact that the first railway in British North America was con- structed from here to St. Johns in 1836. It was first run by horses, then by steam, but was discontinued on the construc- tion of the road known as the Champlain and St. Lawrfence Railway, now a portion of the Grand Trunk. A ferry runs from the village to Montreal chree times daily. Imme- diately after passing under Victoria Bridge, Ave pass the long wharf, used as a railway wharf by the Grand Trunk E.R. jDrior to the erection of the Bridge. We are now directly opposite the city of Montreal, the Commercial Metropolis and most important place in the Dominion, and destined to rival the population and the prosperity of some of the overgrown cities of the Old World. Before landing her passengers the steamer runs alongside the Richelieu Company's boat, and as a matter of con- venience transfers those passengers who intend going through to Quebec, without remaining over in Montreal, Having described the excitement of shooting the several Rapids, we would inform our tourist that in order to overcome those natural barriers to the water communication between Montreal and the Great West, a series of magnificent canals have been constructed by the Government. These canals are of ample dimensions to allow the largest steamers to ascend. They are as follows : ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. ST.

Here wo shall be landed at a very unpretentious station, and will naturally direct our steps towards iA\e " Eiissell House," under the management of Mr. J. A. Gouin.

Otfeawa (or By town as it was for mcnly called) was selectel by Her Majesty as the new Capital of the Dominion, the chief seat of Government having 98 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. for many previous years been settled at the cities of Mont- real, Quebec and Toronto, in turns, for a certain number of years in each. This system was found to work badly, and the jealousy stirred up against the one that happened at the time to be favoured, made it necessary to choose some perma- nent place, and Ottawa was selected as being most desirable. R r c in- ilii 'i!,|illill,lillHf The Government buildings have consequently been erected here, and very much credit is due not only to the architect WiiO iirtS oesigned these most bcautit'al buildings, but to the public spirit of the Legislature who have found the means ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 99 for bringing the work to a successful termination. The Parliament Buildings with the Departmental offices, occujiy three sides of a square, on a bluff of ground called Barrack Hill, overlooking the river They contain two Legislative ^ Halls, one for the Senate, the other for the House of Com- mons, both being the same size as those provided in the English Houses of Parliament for the Lords and Commons, and, like their originals, very handsomely decorated and conveniently furnished. The grounds in front of the building are being handsomely laid out after designs and under the superin- tendence of Marshall Wood, the celebrated artist of Lon- don, England. A large Library is also provided, which at present contains over 75,000 volumes. The buildings are designed in the Italian-Gothic style, and constructed of stone found in the neighborhood. When it is stated that the cost was S.3,000,000, and the position almost unique, the tourist ought not to lose the opportunity of going there, as they alone are quite worth the delay which must neces- .sarily be devoted to the sight. The rest of the city, which is of course much increasing, and the whole of it nearly new, is very handsomely and substantially built. Sparks street, the scene of the assassination of the late Hon. T. D'Arcy McGee, is close to the Parliamentary buildings and the Eussell House. The Ptideau Canal, (which connects Ihe Ottawa Pivcr with the St. Lawrence), divides the city near the Parliament Buildings. This canal is excavated at the base of a ravine over 150 feet below the roadway. The upper and lower portions of the city are connected by two bridges, one known as the Sappers bi-idge, the other, just completed, being a magnificent iron Bridge erected by the Government and which leads to the broad avenue on w^hich the Parliament Buildings stand. The Pideau Canal here fiills into the Ottawa afier ])assing a series of eight massive stone locks. The other chief attractions in the neighborhood of Ottawa 100 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. are the Chaudiero Falls, considered by very many to rank next in importance, beauty and grandeur to Niagara. They are immediately above the city, at its western extremity. The width of the greater flill being two hundred feet, while its depth is forty,— the boiling, seething, foaming character of the water giving name to the place. On the northen side is the smaller, or Little Chaudiere, and here the waters, after their leap, seem i^ go into some su /.; . ' \^n passage, by which they are carried off until thoy aj ar again a^. a place called '' The Kettles," half a mile lower down. Of course, the existence of such passages is a mere matter of conjecture, w^hich w^e will leave to the study of geologists, and others interested, to determine. These falls arc crossed by a fine suspension bridge which leads to the thriving village of Hull on the opposite shores. Before leaving Ottawa, we ought to pay a visit to one of the Timber Slides, which are tolerably frequent in the upper river. One is erected on the northern bank, and we will here tarry for a moment whilst we watch the fate of one of those huge rafts of hewn wood down its headlong rush. Those water-shoots are erected for the purpose of getting the fallen trees from the higher level down to the river, at the smallest possible cost,, and wherever water can be obtained in sufficient quantity this has been done. Where the descent is v ry steep, these " sho®ts " are broken up at stated intervals into long straight runs, in order to destroy the impetus which the raft would naturally acquire. The descent on one of the rafts down the timber slide is a thing only to be attempted by those who possess bold and steady nerves. To say that there is much ^danger in such an excursion would bo to exaggerate the risk, whilst to say that there is none, would be as far from the truth.

Tourists desiring to go by this route can leave by steam- boat which starts daily, Sundays excepted, at 6.30 a.m. At this hour, and no later, the very handsome new steamer of the Ottawa Eiver Navigation Company, commanded by Oaptain Bowie, starts from her wharf, between the pictur- esque and thickly-wooded banks of the Ottawa River. Soon after leaving we obtain a fine view of the Rideau Falls, which make their descent on the south side into the river. The drapery or curtainlike drop has given it its name, and gracefully and gently as it falls over, it resembles more a sheet of thin glass than a waterfall. About a mile and a half below Ottawa, the river Gatineau, one of the longest and most important tributaries of the Ottawa, flows into the river. Shortly after leaving Ottawa, breakfast is announced in the handsome saloon of the boat, and 18 miles off our starting point, wo stop at Buckingham. Thurso, a flourish- ing little village, doing a large and satisfactory trade in lumber, is our next stopping point, and after two hours' more steaming through really lovely country, and with two more stoppages at villages called Brown's and Major's, we reach L'Orignal. The Caledonia Springs are situated nine miles away from this place. The medicinal and healing qualities of these Sj^rings, of which there are fotn* in number, ^re very well established, and during the summer months, people flock here in large numbers to partake of the waters iuid to enjoy one another's society. After seven miles more steaming we come to Grenville' where we have to disembark and take a twelve miles' railway rule to Carillon, thus avoiding rapids whichcommence here, and continue for the distance named. As they are not navi- gable for steamers, it would take up too much time for the boats to go through the Locks of the Canal. Opposite Grenville, and at the commencement of the first (Long Sault) ■ 1; '■ III 102 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAxMIC GUIDE. rapids, stands Hawkesbury, where tome very large sawmillp. belonging to the Hon. John Hamilton, have been erected. It is comjDuted that at these mills alone, 30,000,000 feet of timber are annually sawn. At Carillon, wo find the " Princo of Wales," under the command of Capt. Shepherd, waiting to take us on to La Chine. Before quitting this spot, wo may remark that the Boundary lino between the former provinces of Upper and Lowei- Canada, now respectively known by the names of Ontario and Quebec, here leaves the centre of the river (which had been the division for many hundred miles), and branches off in a direct line for the St. Lawrence. The banks of the river in this vicinity are high and thickly wooded, whilst its width varies between half and a quarter of a mile. On the southern shore the Mountain of RiGAUD stands out consiDicuously against the sky. The small village of Pointe-aux-Anglais is reached at 2 p.m., Hudson, at 2.30, and Como, at 2.45, and hero the river expands from about half-a-mile wide into a lake of about eight miles. This is called the Lake of Two Mountains, after the two mountains to be seen on the north side rising four to five hundred feet from the water. The highest o^' these hills is called Calvary, and held sacred by the tribes of the Indians inhabiting the small village of Oka which we see on our left hand, standing at the junction between the lake and the river, and where our steamer stops for the last time before crossing the lake to St. Ann's. The Iroquois and Algonquins live in this village together. Immediately in front of us wo see the Island of Montreal, one branch of the river passing round the Island by the right (which we follow) and the other going round to the left, and generally • known as the Back Eiver. Three quarters of an hour more and we are passing through the Canal and Lock at St. Anne's, in order to avoid the small rapids which run to our right under the bridge belonging to and crossed over by the Grand Trunk Railway. This Bridge, although on a much smaller ALL ilOUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 103 scalo than the Victoria Bridge at Montreal, is an exceedingl}'- fine structure, and must not be overlooked. St. Anne's lias been immortalized by Moore, in his famous Canadian Boat Song, which is said to have been written in a stone house still pointed out near the pretty little village itself. Many people know the first two lines of the chorus — Row, bro- thers, row, &c., — and no more, so we fancy it will not be out of place to reproduce it here in its entirety : — " Faintly as tolls the evening- chime Our voices keep tune, and our oars keep time. Soon as the woods on shore look dim, We'll sing at St. Anne's our parting hymn. Row, brothft-s, row, the stream runs fast, Tho Rapids are near and the daylight's past. " Why should we yet our sail unfurl ? There is not a breath the blue wave to curl ; But when the wind blows from oflF the shore, Oh, sweetly we'll rest our weary oar. Blow, breezes, blow, the stream runs fast, The Rapids are near and the daylight's past. " Uttawas ' tide ! this trembling moon Shall see us float o'er thy surges soon. Saint of this green isle I hear our prayers. Oh, grant us cool heavens and favoring airs. Blow, breezes, blow, the stream runs fast. The Rapids are near and the daylight's past." During the summer months St. Anne's is visited by large numbers of families from Montreal, its nearness to the city making it easy of daily access for business men, whilst the charming opportunities it offers for fishing and aquatics renders it very justly sought after by the angler and ama- teur sailor. A mile below St. Anne's, we enter Lake St. Louis, where the Ottawa and St. Lawrence unite. Landing at Lachine, we take the cars of the Grand Trunk Railway, and a ride of 9 miles brings us to Montreal.

Vision has been made to meet the desire of the tourist on his point ; for every morning at seven o'clock a train leaves Bonaventnre station at Montreal for Lachine, connecting with the beautiful little steamer -Beauharnois," which starts from the Eaihvay Wharf as soon as she receives her passengers shoots the rapids, passes under the Victoria Jindge, and lands her passengers again in Montreal by nine in the morning, with an appetite for breakfast much height- ened by their early excursion. MONTEEAL, i?ln?r''^'\!!''^''P'"' ^^ '^' ^^^^"^«» of Canada, IS situated upon the south shore of an island (bearino. the same name) and at the base of a beautiful eminence known ns Mount Eoyal, from which both the city and island derive their name. Its population is 110,000. The island is about thirty miles long, and ten broad, and is formed by the Eiver Ottawa debouching into the St. Lawrence at its western and eastern extremities, the former near St. Anne's the latter at Bout de I'Isle. It is famed for the fertility of Its soil, and is frequently called the - Garden of Canada " The site of the city was first visited by Jacques Cartier in 1535, and, at that time, he found a village of Indians situ- ated near the foot of the Mountain. He landed a short dis- ance below the city, at a point still known by the name of the Indian Village, '< Hochelaga." When he reached the top of he mountain, to which he was guided by the Indian Chief Donnacana," he was so struck by the magnificent outlook that he named it, in honor of his master, " the Eoyal Mount. Champlain also visited the site in 1607, but the village, with its inhabitants, had been swept away, probably by some hostile tribe. A very few years ago a lar^.e qi J tity of skeletons and pottery was discovered whilo huiM^V^ on the site of this village. The first settlement "was made ALL ROUND ROUTR ANT) PANORAMtC GUIDE.

U2)on it three thousand troops may- be manoeuvred. This ground was used by the British Troops when quartered in Canada. The old buildings directly beyond the monument wore erected in 1722, and in early days served as a Government House. Here it was that during the occupation of the city by tho Americans, the celebrated Benjamin Franklin, Charlee Carrol, and Samuel Chase, the commissioners of Congress, held their councils of war, and beneath its roof the first printing press ever used in Montreal was set up to print the manifestoes. The building is now known as the Jacques Cartier Normal School. Facing the Champ de Mars is tho Geological Museum, a Government institution of which Canada may well be proud. It was established under ALL ROUND ROUTE iND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 115 the direction of Sir William Logan, the late head of 'the Geological Department of the Province.

Here the tourist can again information relative to the zoology and orni- thology of Canada; and to those who are disciples of Isaac Walton,the curator can give any information regarding the fishing grounds. The English Cathedral (Episcopal,) on St. Catherine street, is by far the most perfect specimen of Gothic archi- tecture in America. It is well worthy a visit. The streets in this neighborhood are studded with churches— Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Wesleyan and Episcopalian—each tending to make the ecclesiastical architecture of the city worthy of comparison with the many public buildings with which Montreal abounds. A new Catholic Cathedral is- being erected corner of Dorchester .and Cemetery streets,, to be second only in the world to St Peter's at Home, and after the same style of architecture. The new church of the Jesuits on Bleury street is a verjr imposing edifice. The interior is covered with frescoes of incidents in the lives of our Saviour and His Apostles. Erskine Church and Knox Church, (Scotch Presbyterian) are two fair specimens of modern Gothic. The Wesleyan Church, Dorchester street, with its graceful spire, forms a conspicuous object, though its dimensions are over topped by the large American Presbyterian Church adjoining it. A little further westward on St. Catherine street is a prettyjittle Gothic church (Episcopalian,) dedicated to St. James the Apostle; and beyond that again, stands the largo Eoman Catholic Seminary, at the Priest's farm.

Rcturniiii^ from the Seminary by Guy street, wo visit tho celebrated Grey Nunnery founded in 1G42. This new odifice> now occupied, covers an immense area, and the chapel and wards of the nunnery are annually visited by thousands of tourists. The old nunnery near the river, so long the centre of attraction from its quaint ap2)earanco and solemn looking Avails, has given way to beautiful warehouses and stores which lino the streets opened through its former spacious gardens. A visit to tho Eoservoir on the mountain side will repay the trouble, as a fine view of the city may here be obtained. From those reservoirs tho city is supplied with water which is taken from the St. Lawrence, about a mile and a half above tlio Lachinellapids, whore the eleva- tion of tho river surfjice is about 37 foot above tho Harbor of Montreal. The AYheol house at tho termination of tho aqueduct is worthy of notice. The water is admitted to and discharged from this building through submerged arch- ways under covered A'ost proof passages, extending above and below tho building. There are two iron wheels 20 feet diameter and 20 feet bi'oad with enormous auxiliary steam The reservoirs are excavated out of the solid engines. rock, and have a water surface of over ninety thousand square feet, 20G foot above the harbor with a depth of 25 feet. The length is 623 foot, with a breadth of 1 13, formed into two reservoirs by a division wall. The two contain about fifteen million gallons. Total cost of aqueduct, machinery, pumping main, and reservoir about $2,000,000. With tho power here supplied the Fire Department are enabled to effectually hold in check any threatened confla- gration, and their efficiency is increased by the Fire Alarm Telegraph recently erected, and which has proved a thorough success.

ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 117 THE VICTORIA BRIDGE ought to be visited. Visitors are allowed to examine the first tube without an order, and, as they are all alike, to see one tube is- to see all. The Bridge is a wonderful structure, and reflects as much credit on the successful builders as upon the original designers. The tube through which the trains pass rests upon twenty-four piers, and is about a mile and a quarter long. The piers are all at a distance of 242 feet, with the exception of the two centre piers ; these are 330 feet; upon these rests the centre tube, which is 60 feet above the summer level of the St. Lawrence. At the centre of the bridge is an opening, from which there is a magnificent view of the river. MONTREAL AND VICTOKIA BlUDGE. The bridge is approached by two massive embankments, the one on the Montreal side being 1200 feet, and that on the south shore 800 feet in length ; which together, includ- ing the abutments, mtike the total length of the bridge 9084 feet, or a mile and three quarters nearly. The abutments are each, at the base, 278 feet long, and are built hollow, having eight openings or cells, 48 feet in length and 24 feet in width, separated by cross-walls 5 feet in thickness. The flank-wall on the down-stream side rises nearly perpendicular, and is seven feet in thickness; that on the up-stream has a slope from its foundation upwards ; the .thickness of the walls is 12 feet, and they present a smooth 118 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GVIDB. HI surface to faoilitato the operation of the ice, on which acount its form had boon thus determined. To ensure greater resis- tance to the pressure of the ice, the cells are filled up with earth, stone, and gravel, so that one solid mass was thus obtained. The embankments are solid, composed of stones 36 feet above the summer water level, and of the width of 30 feet on the upper surface, formed with a slope of one to one on the down side of the stream, and a hollow shelving slope of about 2^ to one on the upper side. The slopes are faced with stones set on edge at an average angle of about 45 o . The piers are solid, and constructed, as well as the abut- ments, of the finest description of ashlar masonry, laid in horizontal courses measuring from 7 to 12 feet on the bed, and from 3 ft. 10 in. to 2 feet 6 in. thick, above the water level, and thence varying into a course of 18 in. under the plates. The stones were cut with the greatest exactness, seldom requiring to be redressed after being laid. They weigh from 7 to 11 tons ; the average weight of each stone is lOi tons. All the beds and vertical joints are square, dressed in the most efficient and workmanlike manner ; the external face rough, and without any pick or tool marks, but with the natural quarry face preserved. The string-courses and copings are fair-picked, dressed throughout, and neatly pointed and weathered, and a tool- draft, eight inches wide, on each quoin. Ecah course of the ice-breaker is secured with fox-wedged bolts of 1 J inch iron, which pass through into the 2nd and 3rd courses under it ; and the horizontal joints are cramped together with iron cramps 12 x 5 inches, through which the bolts pass. The description of stone used is a limestone of the Lower Silurian order, and known under the Geological term of Chazy. The average height of the piers above the summer water level is 48 fieet, gradually rising from a height of 36* feet at the abutments to 60 feet at the centre pier, giving a ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 119 grade of 1 in 132, or 40 feet to tlio mile. The centre span is level. Each pier is furnished with a solid cut-water, or ice-breaker, which form a portion of the pier itself. They are of a wedge form,*und slope from their foundations up- wards, terminating in an angle 30 feet above the summer level of the river. The dimensions of the pier at the Junc- tion with the cut- water, are 16 x 48 ft., but the whole trans- verse side of a pier at the foundation, including the cut water, which extends up the stream, is 16 X 90 feet. The foundations, of course, vary ; some are as low down as 20 feet below the water. The whole of the ashlar is laid in hydraulic cement, in the proportion of 1 part sand to one part cement. The backing from the level of thejsurface water upwards, is in common mortar. The piers are calculated to resist a pressure of seventy thousand tons. The important part this bridge plays in the uninterrupted communication of the Western traffic with that of the United States— Boston, Portland, &c.,— need not be dilated on. It is more than commensurate with its cost — which was nearly 7,000,000 dollars. It gives to Montreal an unbroken rail- way communication the value of which cannot be over estimated. There are many pleasant drives in and around Montreal,the most popular being those " Round the Mountain" and the Lachine Road. Taking the former we leave the City by St. Lawrence Main Street passing on our way near the City limits an immense structure surmounted by a beautiful dome. This is the « Hotel Dieu,' a Cloister and Hospital. The building with its enclosure covers an areaof several acres. Immediately after passing the toll gate, a road turns to the left leading to the beautiful "Mount Royal Cemetery," the resting place of the Protestant dead of Montreal, and the grounds will compare favorc\bly with the celebrated ceme- teries of the old world. The Roman Catholic Cemetery adjoins 'H ^1 ii li 120 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. tho Moiuit lloyiil, aiul is approacliod l.y the road loadinir on the opposite side of the Mountain.

The Drive to Lachine will prove of tho greatest interest. Tho Lower Lachine Road leads along tho bank of the St. Lawrence, and during the drive there may be seen the steamers descending the rapids. To points beyond the island of Montreal a favorite trip is that to Belail Mountain, near St. llilaire. The latter is a station on tlie Grand Trunk Railway, about 18 miles from Montreal, and where several trains stop during the day, so that there will be no difficulty in i)erforming the trip with- out remaining at the village for the night. Prom St. Hlhiiro Station the tourist proceeds to the pretty little village of Bcloeil, and when conducted to the base of the mountain, it can be ascended with comparative ease— oven by ladies— by a circuitous path, passing through a maple grove, which leads to a beautiful lake, formed in the hollow of the mountain. This Lake abounds with fish. This is the general resting place, before the ascent to the peak. This mountain is the centre of great interest to the Canadians. On the Voad are, at mtervals, wooden crosses having inscriptions referring to our Saviour's journey to Blount Calvary, and on tho summTtof tho mountain are the ruins of a chapel erected some years ago. From these ruins, about 1400 feet above the river, a splendid panoramic view of the country for 60 miles round may bo had. The rich panoramic scene amply repays tho fatigue of tho joui-ney.

As we steam out from the wharf we pass by the shores of the military island of St. Helen's, so called after the beautiful wife of Champlain, the first Governor of Canada, and the founder of Quebec. Just below the Island is the village of Longueuil, a favorite summer resort of the citizens of Mont- real. SOEEL, or William Henry, is situated at the junction of the Eichelieu the outlet of Lake Champlain into the St. Lawrance. It occupies the site of a fort built by the Marquis de Tracey in 1665, and was for many years the summer residence of the English Governors of Canada, and hero Queen Victoria's father at one time resided. The po^mlation is about 5,000. Immediately below Sorel the river widens into a lake called LAKE ST. PETER, which is about 35 miles in length and about 10 miles in width. It is very shallow, except in a narrow channel, which is navigable for ocean steamers and sailing vessels of very large tonnage coming up to Montreal during the summer season. In calm weather it is pleasant sailing over its waters, but owing to its shallowness a strong wind causes its waves to rise tempestuously, and many wrecks, principally of rafts, take place every year, We now touch at the half way port of 4'^M ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 123 I i'l.'il 124 ALL ROUND RODTE AND PANOBAMIC GUIDE.

The rafts of timber afford a highly interesting feature on the river as the traveller passes along. On each a shed is built for the raftsmen, some of whom rig out their huge, unwieldy craft with gay streamers, which flutter from the tops of poles. Thus, when several of these rafts are grappled together^ forming, as it were, a floating island of timber, the sight is extremely jMc- turesque ; and when the voices of these hai'dy suiis of the forest and the stream join in some of their Canadian; boat songs, the wild music, borne by the breeze along the water, has q. charming effect. Many of these raft& may be seen lying in the coves at Quebec, ready to be shipped to the different parts of the world. We now come within sight of the " Gibraltar of America,' as ^e fortified city we are approaching, has been called. QUEBEC. Helving landed, our first course is to proceed to a hotel..

It was founded by Chaniplain, in 1608, on the site of im Indian Village, called Stadacona. It is the second City 111 the Dominion, and has a i)opulation of about 75,000 The form of the city is nearly that of a triangle, the Plains of Abraham forming the base, and the KiversSt. Lawrence and St. Charles the sides. It is divided into two parts-Upper and the Lower Towns. The Upper town is strongly fortified • and includes within its limits the Citadel of Cape Diamond' which is the most formidable fortress in America.' The Lower Town IS built upon a narrow strip of land which runs at the base of the Cape, and of the high grounds upon which Upper Town stands, and the suburbs of St. Roch's and St John's extend along the River St. Charles and to the Plains of Abraham. Quebec was taken by the British and Colonial iorces in 1629, but restored to France in 1632. It was finally captured by Wolfe in 1759, and, together with all the French possessions in North America, was ceded to Great Britain by the treaty of 1763. Quebec, including the city and suburbs,contai)is 174 streets among the principal of which are the following -—St John's street, which extends from Fabrique-street to St. John's-gate in the Upper Town, and is occupied chiefly by retail stores; .^t. Loms-street, a handsome and well built street, extendino- from the Place d'Armes to the St. Louis-gate, and occupied principally by lawyers' offices and private dwellings; i)'^«. teictl^street faces the Esplanade and the grounds where the military were drilled, and is an elegant street, mostly of pri- vate_ dwellings ; Grand AlUe or St. Louis-road outside St Louis-gate, and leading to the Plains of Abraham, is a pleasant and beautiful street, on which are manv .legant Tilla residences; St. John-street without, is also a fine street occupied by shops and private dwellings. The principal street in the Lower Town is St. Peter, on wlii.h. and on the wharves and small streets which branch from it. most of the ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 129 It I r . 130 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. banks, insiu'anco companicB, and merchantH' ofiicos arc- yituatcd. Durham Terrace, in the Upper Town, is a platform com- manding a splendid view of the river and the Lower Town. It occupies the site of the old castle of St. Louis, which was burnt in 1834, and was erected by the nobleman whose name it bears. The Public Garden fronts on Des Carrieres-street, Upper Town, and contains an elegant monument, which w\ns erected to the memory of Wolfe and xMontcalm, in 1827. The height of this monument is 65 feet; its design is chaste and beauti- ful, and no stranger should leave Quebec without visiting it. The Place d' Amies is an open piece of ground, around which the old chateau of St. Louis, the government offices, the English cathedral, and the Court House are situated. The Esplanade is a beautiful piece of ground, situated be- tween D'Auteuil-street and the ramparts. The Citadel, on Cape Diamond, is one the most interest- ing objects to visitors. The area embraced within the for- tifications of the Citadel is more than forty acres. The line of fortitications, enclosing the Citadel and the Upper Town, is nearly three miles in length, and the guns with which they are mounted are mostly thirty-tw) and forty-eight pounders. Until the past few years there were five gates to the city, three of which, Prescott, Palace and Hope gates, communicated with the Lower Town, and two of which, St. Louis and St. John's guiCS, communicated with the suburbs of the same name. About three quarters of a mile from the city are four Martello Towers, fronting the Plains of Abraham, and intended to impede the advance of an enemy from that direction. The Roman Catholic Cathedral, which fronts upon the Upper Town market place, is a very large and commodious buildin'* but with no "^'reat iiretensions to architecture.

The Music Hall is a handsome cut stone edifice, recently erected, situated on gt. Louis-street, Upper Town. As the Seat of French Power in America, until 1750, the great fortress of Engli i Rule in British America, and the key of the St. Lawrence, Quebec must over possess interest of no ordinary character for well i nformed tourists. Living is comparatively cheap, and Hotel accommodation equal to Montreal in every respect. A City, crowning the summit of a lofty capo, must neces- sarily be difficult of access ; and when it is remembered how irregular is the plateau on which it stands, having yet for thoroughfares the identical Indian paths of Stadacona or the narrow avenues and approaches of its first settlers in 1608, it would be vain to hope for regularity, breadth and beauty in streets, such as modern cities can glory in. It is yet in its leading features a City of the 17th century— a quaint, curious, drowsy, but healthy location for human beings ; a cheap ],tace of abode ; if j^ou like a crenelated fort with loop- holes, grim-looking old guns, sentries, pyramids of shot and shell; such is the spectacle high up in the skies, in th airy locality called the Upper Town.

It is not uncommon to catch trout weighing from 12 lbs. to 20 lbs. in Lake St. Joseph and Snow Lake during the winter months. We feel sure our reader, whatever his pretensions may be as a traveller, will be delighted with the ancient city of Quebec, and have a satisftictory feeling of pleasure within himself for having included it in the catalogue of places ho has put down as worthy of a visit in his tour through Canada. The scenery outside the City, and all along the river on both shores, is exceedingly picturesque, every turn bringing a new and varied landscape into view, calculated to please * You will peruse Caroline's pathetic tale in that repository of Canadian lore, Maple Leaves, which you will find a trusty guide for objects without the City.

LAKE ST. CHAELES. Thirteen miles north-west of Quebec is one of the most picturesque spots in Canada, and during the summer months is frequently visited on account of its Arcadian beauty. There is a remarkable echo at the Lake which tarries some few seconds before repeating the sound uttered. It is then re-echoed, " as though the nymphs of the lake were summon- ing the dryads of the neighboring woods to join in their nport." To those who are fond of angling, the lake aftbrds- an ample supply of speckled trout. THE FALLS OF MOKTMOEENCI. In taking our departure from Quebec, and on our way down the river, we pass this celebrated cascade. These Falls, which are situated in a beautiful nook of the river, are higher than those of Niagara, being more than two hundred and fifty feet ; but they are very narrow—being only some fifty feet wide. This place is celebrated for its winter amuse- ments. During the frosty weather the spray from the falls accumulates to such an extent as to form a cone of some eighty feet high. There is also a second cone of inferior altitude, called the "Ladies' Cone," and it is this of which visitors make the most use, as being less dangeroi; ^ than the higher one. They carry " toboggins,"— long, thin pieces of wood about 8 or 10 feet in length by 1 foot in width turned up in front,— and having arrived at the summit place themselves on these and slide down with immense velocity. Ladies and genl i ( >men both enter with equal spirit into this amusement. It requires much skill to avoid being capsized, and sometimes peo^jle do find themselves at the- ^ 1 i i ii 1 ' i ■ 1 ! 138 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. bottom, minus the toboo-gin. Visitors generally drive to this spot in sleighs, taking their provisions with them; and upon the pure white cloth which nature has spread out for them, they partake of their dainty repast, and enjoy a most agree- «able picnic. They do not feel in the least cold, as the •exercise go thoroughly warms and invigorates the system. There are men and boys in attendance for the purpose of bringing down strangers who ma,>- desire to venture down •the icy mountain, and to those who enjoy this kind of pleasure it is g.'--at sport. The drive to the Falls is very beautiful ; tlio o- 1 lery on the road through Ecauport, where the Provincial Lunatic Asylum is built, and back again be- ing full of interest. The distance of these Falls from Quebec is eificht miles. About two miles above the Falls is a curious formation on the river bank, called '-'the Natural Steps," being a series of layers of the limestone rock, each about a foot in thickness, and for about half-a-milc receding one above the other, to the height of nearly 20 feet, asrogulal-ly iis if formed by the hand of man. They are a great object of wonder and curiosity, and, being so near the Falls, should certainly be included in the visit. THE LOWER ST. LAWRENCE RIVEE. Having drawn toward the close of our visit to Quebec, we ^advise the tourist to at once make his arrangements for visit- ing that very popular resort, the Saguenay. For the past fewjyears, thousands of Canadians and Americans have wended their way to this famous river, and the result of their experience has been, to make it still more popular. None who have been have resolved otherwise than to rejieat the trip the first time they could possibly do so, and to those who have not enjoyed this most lovely of all excursions, we w^ould say in the language of Shakspeare, " stand not upon the m\\cv of vour iroinir, but go at once."

They are eleo-antly fitted up for the comfort of passengers, and fur- nished with every convenience ; indeed, there is nothing wanting to render the journey down the river most delight- ful Once on board and off, we find ourselves steaming away down stream at a good speed, and turning our eyes from the city we have just left, we see THE ISLAND OF ORLEANS. Known in early days as Ihe Isle of Bacchus, so called from the luxuriant growth of its wild grape vines. It is situated 9 miles below Quebec. It is 20 miles in length and 6 miles in its greatest width . There are several villages scattered over its Surface. Like the island of Montreal its soil is very fertile. THE FALLS OF STE. ANNE. Seventy miles below Quebec, the Elver Ste. Anne empties into the St. Lawrence. About two miles from tho village are the celebrated falls of the same name. At this point there is a solitary vale of rocks, almost a natural grotto, through tho centre of which the stream rushes, until it escapes by a narrow channel, and continues its course rushing downward with ever increasing velocity. The scene below the cataract is very grand Five miles below Ste. Anne's River we pass Grosso Isle, a spot which ever recalls sadness. Thousands who left their homes on the fiir off shores of Great Britain with hearts full of ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 141 the prospect of prosperity in the new world of America have here found their last resting place. In one single grave the bodies of about 0,000 Irish Emigrants lie interred. Apart from these sad recollections the" Quarantine' Island is a fair spot, and its scenery is very beautiful. At this point the river widens, and ere long has reached s"ch a width as to render its shores almost invisible from the deck of our gallant vessel. Passing onw-ard until Quebec lies 90 miles astern, we reach oui first landing place, MALBAIP], or, Murray Bay, the favorite watering place of the Lower St. Lawrence. The village is picturesquely situated amid frownmg hills and wild scenery. It is a great resort in tV 3 summer months, and many Canadian families spend the entire season in this healthy retreat. Everyone must enjoy a few days pass- ed at this fashionable watering place.

River Saguenay, and commence, as if by instinct, to strain our eyes that we may catch a glimpr;e of all the magnificent natural grandeur that now bursts upon us. THE SAGUENAY RIVER. The Saguenay is the largest tributary of the great St. Law- rence, and unquestionably one of the most remarkable rivers of the Continent. It is tlie priiicii)al outlet of Lake St. John, which is its head-waler : a lake about forty miles long, surrounded by a heavily timbered VA\d level country ; its Avaters are remarkably clear, and abound in a great variety of fine fish. Eleven large rivers fall into it, yet it has only this one o'atlet; into the lake there is a remarkable curtain fall of two hundred and thirty-:^ix feet, so conspicuous as to be seen^ ■4i ;i I 144 ALL HOUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. at forty or fifty miles distant, the Indian name for which is '' Oueat Chouan" or " Do you see a fall there ?" The Lake lies about 150 miles north-east of the St. Lawrence, and nearly due north of Quebec. The orginal name of the Sag- uenay was Chicoutimi, signifying '' Deep water;" but the early Jesuit missionaries gave it the name it now bears, said to be a corruption of St. Jean Nez. The scenery is wild and romantic in the highest degree. The fir.st half of its course averages half a mile in width, and runs through an almost untrodden wilderness ; it abounds in falls and rapids, and is only navigable for the Indian canoe. A few miles below the southern foil in the river is the village of Chicoutimi, at the junction ofa river of the same name, which is the outlet of a long lake, named Kenokami, with the Saguenay. Here is a range of rapids which extend ten miles. The Indians say there is a subterranean fall above the foot of the rapids, which thev call " Manitou," or the " Great Spirit." To avoid these fall's there is a carrying place called " Le Grande Portage." An extensive lumber business is transacted here : the village has an ancient appearance, and contains about five hundred in- habitants. The only curiosity is a rude Catholic Church, said to have been one of the earliest founded by the Jesuits. It occui)ies the centre of a grassy lawn surrounded by shrub- bery, backed by a cluster of wood-crowned hills, and com. mands a fine prospect, not only of the Saguenay but also of the spacious bay formed by Hie confluence o('the two rivers. In the belfry of this venerable church hangs a clear toned bell, with an inscription upon it which ha» never yet been translated or expounded. From ten to twelve miles south of Chicoutimi, a beautiful expanse of water, called Grand or Ha ! Ha ! Bay, recedes from the Saguenay, to the distance of several miles. The village of Grand Bay, 132 miles from Quebec, is the usual resort for those who wish to remain any time in the neighborhood of the Saguenay, The name Ha ! Ha ! is said ALL ROUND KOUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 145 to be derived from the surprise which the French experi- enced when they first entered it, supposing it to be still the river, until their shallop grounded on the north-western shore. At the northern head of it is anothei- settlement called Bagotville. Between these two places the Saguenay is rather shallow (when compared with the remainder of its course) and varies in width from two and a-Tialf to three miles. The tide is observable as far north as Chicoutimi, and this entire section of the river is navigable for ships of the largest class, which ascend thus ftir for lumber. That portion of the Saguenay extending from Ha ! Ha ! Bay to the St. Lawrence, a distance of nearly sixty mileS, is chiefly distinguished, and properly so, for its wonderful scenery. The shores are composed principally of granite, and every bend presents to view an imposing bluff— many of these tower perpendicularly into the uu-, and seem ready to totter and fall at any moment. It appears awful, in steaming up the Saguenay, to raise the eyes heavenward and behold, hanging directly overhead, a mass of granite weigh- ing, perhaps, nearly a million tons. H( re, as at Niagara, wo feel the insignificance of man as we gaze upon the Almighty's handiwork. Descending from Ha ! Ha ! Bay, a perpendicular rock, nine hundred feet high, is the abrupt termination of a lofty plateau called The Tableau, a column of dark-colored granite, 000 feet high by 300 wide, with its sides as smooth as if they had received the polishing stroke from a sculptor's chiseL Statue Point is also another gem of scenery; but the great attractions in the Saguenay are Capo Eternity and Trinity Rock on the south shore, six miles above St. John's Bay. If the only recompense for a visit to the Saguenay was a sight of these stupendous promontories, we are quite sure no visitor would ever regret it. There is an awful grandeur and sublimity about them which is perfectly indescribable. The steamers shut off steam at these points, and the best 146 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. i i« 'I view possible is arranged for tlie passengers by the Captain. The echo produced by blowing the steam whistle is very fine indeed. The water is said to be as deep, five feet from the base of these rocks as it is in the centre of the stream, and, from actual measm-ement, many portions of it have been ascertained to be a thousand feet, and the shallowest parts not less than a hundred ; and from the overhanging cliffs it aseumes a black and ink-like appearance. Cape Eternity is by far the most imposing. ^Ye read that an Indian hunter, having followed a moose to the brow of the cliff after the deer ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 147 liad made a fatal spring far down into the deep water, is said to have lost his foothold and perished with his prey. We also learn from " Le Moine's Oiseaux dii Canada," that two or three years ago two fine si)ecimens of the bird of Washington CAPK KTKKXITY— KIVKU SAGTENAY. that rare eagle, Avoro shot here; and indeed continually the flight of the bald-headed eagles along the summits of these beetling cliffs— the salmon leaping after its insect prey —or the seals bobbing their heads out of the water, attract the sportsman's eye. Nothing can surpass the magnificent salmon fishing of the Marguerite, and other streams, tributaries to the Saguenay, Before taking our departure from what must certainly be classed as one of the most lovely and i)icturesque spots in North America, we would pause to ask the tourist, whether his expectations have not been fully realized in every respect 1 i i 148 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE, and even far exceeded. We feel satisfied an affirmative^ answer is the only one that can be given to such a questionr for there can be no two opinions as to the magnificence of the scenery brought before the vision on a trip uj) the Eiver Saguenay to Ha ! Ha ! Bay. Long descriptions of such scenery can convey but little to the reader, and must be at the best very inadequate. The trip must be taken before the grandeur of the Saguenay is to any extent understood and appreciated. Leaving Tadousac on the return journey, the steamer again makes its way across the St. Lawrence to Riviere du Loup for the convenience of Cacouna passengers. Th >se desirous by so arranging it, can here go ashore, and take the train by the Grand Trunk Railway to Quebec. Having sailed down the river, this will prove an interesting change, and bring them into Quebec much earlier. Those remaining on the boat will, if a fine day, enjoy the sail, calling at Murray Bay (Malbaie), as on the downward trip, and afterwards making straight for Quebec. Those tourists taking the train at Rividre du Loup can make connection at Point Levi, which is opposite to Quebec, with trains for the White Mountains, the next place at which we purpose stopping with them. Those who still keep to the boat, on arrival at Quebec, will probably prefer lying over a day for rest before proceeding on their journey. From Point Levi there is not much to be seen, and we there- - fore advise our travellers, as soon as possible after getting on the train, to get a sleeping berth, have a good night's rest, and be in good trim on reaching the White Mountains. At Richmond Station, which is the junction with the main lino of the Grand Trunk Railway, our tourist can have a com- fortable meal. Twenty-five miles from Richmond is the flouishing man- ufacturing town of Sherbrooke. Here tourists going via the Connecticut and Passumpsic River R. R. will change cars^. ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 149 •Continuing our tour via Grand Trunk we will in about seven hours, find ourselves, after a very pretty ride through a moun- tainous country, atGorham, and on landing will find coaches in readiness to take us to the Glen House, eight miles dis- tant. Thevp' are numerous drives around Gorhara which are all exceedingly pretty, and indeed the White Mountains are •one of the most fashionable resorts on this continent. THE WHITE MOUNTAINS. *' The White Mountains, or the Switzerland of America ^' are situated in Coos bounty.

Splendid ! glori- ous ! amazing ! sublime ! with liberal supplies of interjections, are the words that usually gush to the lips ; but seldom is an adjective or exclamation uttered that interprets the scene^ or coins the excitement and surge of feeling." Travellers should arrange their plans so as to spend a portion of their time at any rate on the mountains, which they can accomplish by taking up their quarters at the " Glen House," or "Crawford House." These fine hotels, have all the comforts of the first-class city houses, and being beau- tifully and conveniently situated, are most desirable resi- dences for all who intend " doing" the mountains. The res- pective positions occupied by these favorite hotels are all that could be desired. At the very foot of Mount Washing- ton, and looking up, half timidly into his fiice, sits, the Glen, in whose green lap nestles the Glen House, Messrs. W. & C. E. Idilliken proprietors, while at the head of White Mountain Notch, the head-quarters of the region, is the Crawford House, Messrs A. T. & 0. F. Barron proprietors. This hotel is so placed as to command from its spacious piazzas, a grand vista down the wondrous White Mountain Xotch,^ and views of the summit of Mount Willard. MOUNT WASHINGTON RAILWAY. much of the pleasure travel goes over Mount Washington, ascending by rail for three miles from the lower station to the Mount Washington House, recently erected on the summit. This road, rising in some portions 2,000 feet to the mile and an average rise of one foot in four, offers a mode of ascent which has become the great sensation of the mountain trip, and done away with the fatigue attending the journey on horseback. Descending on the east side to ^he ainn TToiiftp bv the favrinire roadway, the excursionist has a delightful and novel experience of mountain staging, with little of fatigue or exhausting effort. This journey of a day is one not to be forgotten. V 166 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. Leaving the White Mountains with all their varied attrac- tions we once more take our seat in the train at Gorham Sta- tion for Portland,and find ourselves whizzing along through a magnificent mountainous country, which probably excels anything of its kind in America, and we would recommend a good look-out being kept during the journey, for the scenery cannot fail to please. On arrival at South Paris, those -desirous have time to obtain refreshments, and those who are accustomed to travel know that it is just as well to take good care of the inner man, so as to be securely fortified against the fatigue that always, more or less, attends long journeys. PORTLAND. Ill I: After leaving South Paris, nothing of note is seen until a fihort distance off Portland, when we come in sight of the Atlantic, and feel the sense of pleasure which is experienced on getting near home after a long absence. Arrived at Portland, the principal city of Maine, our tourist will feel virtually at home at the Falmouth Hotel — P. E. Wheeler, pro- prietor. This is a first-class hotel in all its appointments. To those who have never been in Portland, and can spare the necessary time, we would sfiy, spend a day or two there by nil means. It is one of the most pleasant and agreeable cities in the Eastern States, with wide streets and avenues nicely kept, well meriting its title, "The Forest City." Cape Elizabeth is a very favrvite resort ; being but a few miles out of the City, an afternoon cannot be better passed than by takinff a drive out there. Excursions can also be made to the " Ocean House" and " Orchard Beach," both of which -are exceedingly pleasant. Then there are the 365 islands, includini? " Cushings," most of which can be reached by ferrv-boat or vacht. and where there are always to be found a great many visitors seeking health and relaxation from busi- ness. At several of these islands good hotels are to be found, ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 15T and every comfort can be obtained. Sixty miles from Portland via Portland and Ogdensburgh Railway is North Conway, a favorite resort, and much frequented by artists. NORTH CONWAY lies just at the portal to the White Mountains whos& snow-capped peaks form the back ground for the most delight- ful views. The village lies at the foot of the grand old Kiar- sage Mountain. The principal hotel is the Kiarsage House, Messrs. Thompson, Sons & Andrew, proprietors. This house has been recently entirely re-constructed and now embraces 150 rooms for guests. A fine plank walk is laid from the station to the hotel. From this point the whole range of the White Mountains is easily accessible. From Portland, two cr three diiferent routes can be chosen, according to the time and inclination of the traveller. If desiring to go to New ' York direct, and preferring a sea passage, steamers ply regularly, and in fine weather this will be found an exceed- ingly pleasant trip. We shall, however, presume that the majority travelling intend to go via Boston, and, if possible, rest a while in that fine city, rather than hurry on at rail- road speed, which cannot but prove tiresome. Therefore, to such there is the choice of land or water carriage. The Portland Steam Packet Steamers elegantly furnished, of tho- rough sea-going qualities, leave Portland every evening for Boston, thei)assage occupying about ten hours, and, if adopt- ing this mode of conveyance, passengers are landed after a complete night's rest,free from the weariness attending a jour- ney by railway. Those preferring the road, can take the train of the Eastern Railroad. A pleasant ride of 56 miles, andwearrrive at the fine city of PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire. It is one of the oldest, most historic and attrac- tive spots on the coast of New England. Within and around it, are almost innumerable places and objects of interest to the tourist. It is situated on the westerly bank of the Piscataqua River, which separates the states of New Hampshire ai:d Maine. It was the residence of the Royal Governors in colonij I ^1 i 1 1 158 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. days and was the first soil of New Hampshire trod by .the English. One of the interesting features of the city is the " Governor Wentworth mansion, "which was erected by him in 1750. The United States navy-yard is located here. Within ^ radius of ten miles there are many charming jjlaces of resort accessible both by land and water. The ocean view is exten- sive and very fine. The " Isle of Shoals" a group of picturesque isles, which with their quaint houses and numerous fleet of boats are points of great attraction during the summer season, ^re seven miles distant, with steamers plying daily. The prin- cipal Hotel in Portsmouth is the "Eockingham House," owned by Hon. Frank Jones, and kept by the Messrs G. "VY. A J. S. Pierce. It is built on the site of the former residence of Governor Langdon, and is a great favorite with the tra- velling public. Diverging from our direct route to Boston,, ive take the train of the Concord and Portsmouth Eoad and a ride of fifty-nine miles brings un to the capital of the State of New Hampshire. CONCORD, which contains many buildings of interest built of the cele- brated Concord granite. One of the principal beauties of Concord which is situated on the west bank of the Merrimac River, is the abundance of trees shading its regularly laid out streets. It is a city of ex'tensive trade, celebrated for its carriage manufactories and the superior quality and extent •of its granite quarries. The principal hotel is the Eagle Hotel, J. A. White, proprietor. Eeturning to Portsmouth we proceed on our journey and in due time arrive at the "hub.'^ BOSTON. Airiving in Boston, we have again got back into the midst of business and excitement, and we see more life than we have witnessed since we sallied forth on our wanderings from New York.

This Cemcterj'' is indeed a lovely spot, and a few hours are delightfully spent in walking or driving through its beautiful grounds. Hero is seen the handiwork of many a fond heart toward their departed loved ones, and the taste displayed generally has tended to make the place very charming. Harvard University, which is situated at CarabridgOj about four miles from Boston, should also be visited. It is here that many American celebraties have settled down within the shade of their " Alma Mater." The large organ, in the Boston Music Hall, is visited by great numbers, and performances are given twice a week. If the tourist should be fortunate enoua'h to bo in Boston on either day this takes place, he will do well to make a point of attending and enjoying what is a rare treat to all lovers of good music. Information can be obtained at the hotel as to the days and time, and tickets for admission can also be pro- "Cured. Leaving Boston, we now make our way onwards to Xew York, and deposit the tourist at the place from which we started with him, and in doing this we will again leave him to his choice of routes, as there are several. He can if he wishes a fine trip without run';, g any risk of sea sickness, take the Stonington line of steamers.

But before losing our- selves among its 1,500,000 inhabitiiiits wo raise our hat to- the departing reader with the hope that the trip hero ended has been a pleasant one. "On different senses, different objects strike ;" but we think there has been something of a sort to please all. Men of everj^ pursuit, and of every varie- ty of taste, will have been able to indulge, each in his pecu- liar hobby ; for although the extent of ground traversed may not seem so large as otherwise might appear from the simi- larity of race everywhere encountered, yet, from the free expression given to thought, and the amount of enterprise, social and individual, everywhere met with, there is perhaps not a better field open for examining the working merits of" the different schemes which have been from time to tima proposed, as affording solutions of the important questions of national education, workmen's associations, co-operative- labor, &c. To the political economist, there has been, therefore, abun- dant subject for fruitful study; and the prospects of an ever- increasing wealth, lately opened by the discovery of rich mineral veins in territory hitherto regarded as unproductive, will afford the theorist grounds on which to work, in con- ducting his speculations on the great future reserved for this continent. To the geologist, no tract of country could well be found more replete with interest than that we have traversed. He has been brought face to face with nature in her sublimest aspects ; he has been admitted, as it were, to view the arcana of her great workshop, and the vast cuttings scooped out by the degrading force exerted through successive ages on a limestone formation by a stupendous power like Niagara^ v vijv <-i»ij otiit^. ui l\,t: givv-fVcs, mat lxj luia uu\ uiui'K. with unerring line, the course of the Northern glaciers, as.

His pure French, if such perchance, he can command, will not unfrequently prove " caviare'' to these swarthy folks ; but, perhaps, nothing will have more effect on him than the first sight obtained of the red-man, such as he appears in the streets of our cities in this the 19th century. quantum mutatus ah illo'' he will exclaim — from that romantic-looking creature clothed in a scanty allowance of " fig-leaf" who used to be served up for the delectation of our infantile minds in the pages of Old Peter Parley — when he sees the Indian Chief of his boy- hood, so strangely modified by the Darwinian system of Natural Selection, into a smooth-faced, oily-haired, indivi- dual, clad in paper collar, Eureka shirt, and extensive wide- awake. And now a parting word. We have endeavoured to faith- fully and correctly describe the route over which we have passed in company. There are doubtless some whose know- ledge of particular points named is greater than that pos- sessed by us, and such facts, if combined with those already given, would greatly enhance the value of our guide ; we therefore ask information from those best able to afford it, and we promise that, so far as the limits of the work may ft' i! i I ¥ 6: II lii: ;! 162 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. permit, the same shall be given in future editions to our friends, the travelling public. Wishing our tourists a plea- sant meeting with their loved ones at home, we quit them with a hearty ADIEU I JFROM MONTREAL TO NEW YORK DIRECT. . In order to meet all classes of tourists, we have consider- ^ it advisable to say a few words in regard to the routes to New York out of Montreal. There are many who may doubtless desire, after making a short stay in Montreal, to return home direct, from lack of time or other causes, to visit tibe Lower St. Lawrence, and, although our Guide accom- panies the through travellers, a few hints and recommenda- tions to those giving up the tour at Montreal may not come aaniss. Two routes lie at the choice of passengers, one an " all rail," and the other rail and water combined. During the wimmer season the train for the all rail route, via the Cen- tral Yermont Railroad, leaves the depot at Montreal in the afternoon, reaching New York about noon the following day. Passengers may travel via Troy or Springfield, according as tiifiy may elect to take their passages. The other route referred to is via Rouse's Point and Lake Champlain. This is a very favorite way of going to New York, and is so well knowa and appreciated that little re- quires to be said in recommendation of it. During the pdeasure season, trains leave the depot, Montreal, for Rouse's Poiiit, connecting at that place with the very fine boats of the Champlain Transportation Xvompany for Burlington and Whitehall, calling at Plattsburg. Those leaving Mon- treal by the evening train will find it a very pleasant break in the journey to remain over night at Plattsburg, and take tiie boat the following day. I ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 163 For complete information as to the starting of trains and boats, we would advise tourists to take care and secure a copy of the International Railway and Steam Navigation Guide which may be relied on to furnish information up to the latest possible time prior to publication (semi-monthly.) ALL EAIL EOUTE TO NEW YORK. Those who adopt this route will proceed direct from Mont- real to St. Albans. Sixteen miles north of St. Albans are the celebrated ALBURGH SPRINGS, much resorted to by invalids. The power and extent of their healing qualities are well established. The Sulphur and Lithio springs are in the grounds of the Alburgh Springs House, H. H. Howe proprietor. This house is situated on the banks of the beautiful- Missisquoi Bay. Passing onward from St. Albans, after a ride of eighteen miles, Essex Junc- tion is reached. From this point the tourist may continue his journey to Bellow's Falls via White River Junction or Rutland. As there are many points of interest on either route, wo shall mention the more prominent points. Passing by the first route named, we speedily arrive at Montpelier the Capi- tal of Vermont. MONTPELIER is on the Wonooski river, and stands on what is said to have formerly been the bed of a lake. It is most pleasantly situated and possesses many fine buildings worthy of the tourists inspection. The American House, Mr. C. Clark, Proprietor, offers every accomodation to those whom busi- ness or pleasure may lead to remain over. The next impor- tant point reached is i 164 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. WHITE EIVER JUNCTION at which point the Northern Railway, the Connecticut Val- ley and the Passumpsic River Roads connect. The Junc- tion House at this place has long been a favorite with the travelling public, and offers special conveniences for tourists. This Hotel is under the management of the Messrs Barron already named in connection with the Crawford House, White Mountains. From this point passing over the Cen- tral Vermont Railroad, a ride of 40 miles brings us to BELLOW'S FALLS. The most prominent town in Vermont. At this point the Connecticut River is compressed into a space less than 60 feet wide and through this narrow gorge all the water must flow. The river makes a descent of 50 feet, though there ie not any one j^erpendicular fall. In the rocks near the falls are points which will prove of interest to the antiquarian. The views in the neighborhood are among the most attrac- tive in the region, and those who desire to enjoy the same, will find all the comforts and luxuries of a home by securing quarters at the commodious and handsome Island House, Mr. Towns proprietor. From this house may be secured a commanding view of the Connecticut River Valley for miles. Returning to accompany those who proceed via the Rutland Route, a ride of 59 miles from Essex Junction, and the thriving towu of , BRANDON. is reached. This town contains two singular caverns worthy of a visit. Minerals of different kinds abound, and extensive Marble quarries are also in operation. At this place the Brandon House, R. Doming, proprietor, affords pleasant accomodations to those desiring to spend a few days in the vicinity to visit the numerous points of interest, or, to those whose business brings them hither, of whom many every ii.

Lake Dunmore, named in honor of the Earl of Dunmore, is a beautiful sheet of water situated about eight miles north of Brandon, among the Green Mountains of Vermont. The Lake is about five miles long, one mile wide, covering a space of about 1,400 acres, at the altitude of 358 feet above the level of the sea. Few lakes present more attractions to the lo^er of the beautiful. Its waters are clear as crystal, and its shores skirted with a variety of scenery rurely seen and seldom equalled. On the western shores, the country rises in undulating meadow and wooded hills, while on the eastern side two or three spurs of the Green Mountains rise to a height of 1,500 to 2,000 feet, thus uniting, in charming variety, bold, majestic mountain scenery with the lovelier features of lake and meadow. From these elevations on either side, which are easily accessible, the most charming views of the snrrounding country are obtained ; the view ex- tending 70 or 80 miles from north to south, is not surpassed in grandeur and beauty by any prospect this side the sum- mits of Mansfield and Washington. Lake Dunmore is visi- ted yearly by artists and lovers of nature, who find there scenery whose picturesqueness and grandeur delight the eye of the most fastidious observer. As a summer resort it is unexcelled. The pure mountain air, the beautiful lake, abounding in trout and other fish, and affording excellent opportunity for rowing and bathing, the many delightful walks and drives, the bold mountain scenery, together with the excellent large hotel, furnished and conducted -in a style corresponding with the superior natural advantages of its location, all combine to render Lake Dunmore one of the -.1 i-„j- 3 ^^j.

The houHO is conducted by the very gen- tlemanly proprietor Mr. E- P. Hitchcock. The table is sup- plied with fresh trout and other fish from the Lake, and the freshest products of the Vermont farms surrounding the place. Billiards, Bowling, Hunting, Fishing, and a good Livery, add to the other attractions of the place. Considered in all the points which constitute a desirable summer resort, for the fugitive from the dust, heat, and pestilence of our crowded cities, there is none that combine more attractions than LakeDunmore. To reach the Lake, leave the cars at Brandon, whence a splendid line of Concord Stages runi direct to the house, in connection with trains from Now York and Boston, throughout the Season. Conveyance to the Lake may also be obtained at Middlobury, although the Brandon route is the most regular and direct. Leaving Brandon we pass EUTLAND. distant 16 miles. This place is best known in connection with the celebrated marble quarries from which large quan- tities of fine white marble are annually shipped hy railroad. From this point the tourist by taking the Eonsselaer & Sara- toga Eoad can proceed direct to Troy and thence by the Hudson Eiver Eoad to New York. He may, however, continue his journey from Eutland to Bellows falls, thence via Connecticut River Eailroad toN v Haven, passing on his way through SPEINGFIELD * with its celebrated fictorioa nnd substantilly built edifices, and should he feel QviHixi-iL of stopping over he could not do V>At+Al* tlinn fnl^A nrk h^a q hnHn f1iiT»''»'»codily finds himself winding through tho lovely Green Mountains, passing at the foot of Jay Peak which rises to an altitude of 4000 feot. The name "Green Moun- tains" is truly appropriate, and it may be applied to the green hills which surround us on every hand. Scarcely hae the tourist passed this point until the flourishing town of Newport, Vt., is reached. Approaching this town the road ekirts the shores of the beautiful Lake Memphremagog which is well worthy of a visit. At Newport connection is made with the Connecticut and Passumpsic.River Road which passes through the beautiful Passumpsic valley with its romantic scenery and thriving towns and villages. At Well's River the tourist will take the Boston and Concord Railway which passes through some of the finest scenery 168 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. imaginable, and traverses for a distance of over 20 miles along the shores of the ever charming Lake Winnepesaukee* Arriving at Concord the tourist takes the Concord Railway to Nashua, thence over the Boston, Lowell and Nashua Railroad to the city of Boston. At Welis River the tourist may with but little loss of time visit the whole of the grand scenery of the White Mountains. In fact, for variety of scene, comfort i.i travel? and other advantages, this homeward route has mucii to commend it to the tourist. Tourists for New York pass from \ 7 ells River to White River Junction via Connecticut and Passumpsic River Railroad thence to South Yornon via Central Yermont. The journey is then continued via Connecticut River Railroad through Springfield and via New Haven, Hartford and Springfield Railroad to New York. LARE CHAMPLAIN ROUTE. We have thought it desirable to add to our Guide a brief sketch of one of the most interesting and attractive lines of travel presented in the whole country. It is rendered such, by the exquisite and varied beauty of its scenery, by the thrilling historic associations impressed upon it, by the rare accommodations and comfort of its steamers to the tourist, and by being the most direct and eligible route between Saratoga, the White Mountains, Mount Mansfield, the Adi- rondacks, Montreal and Quebec. It combines many decided and peculiar advantages, and, prominent among these, is the pleasant change from the dust and heat of the cars to the spacious and airy steamers. Lake Champlain stretches a distance of 120 miles almost due north and south, and seems designed by the hand of nature to forrA an avenue of commerce and social intercourse. Travellers who have widely explored the objects of interest in the New and Old ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 169 'World unite in pronouncing the waters and environs of Channplain the most beautiful and impressive the eye can rest upon. Varied features unite to complete the panorama. The waters of the Lake, whether reposing in a calm, or surging under the power of a tempest, are indescribably beautiful; but this attraction is infinitely enhanced by the islands which, in varied forms, stud its bosom ; by the penin- sulas which pierce it ; and by the bold rocky precipices that impend over the Lake. The shores on either side are im- pressive and beautiful : now a long line of rugged cliffs, crowned by dense forests, appears, and now, smiling in luxu- rious ranges of culture and elegance, embellished by farm houses, mansions and villages with their glittering spires. All this scene of beauty is enhanced by the dark framework of mountains that impart magnificence to the whole. Passengers leaving Montreal by the Montreal and Champ- lain Division of the Grand Trunk Railway will cross the mammoth Victoria Bridge, and are rapidly transported to Rouse's Point, where they will exchange the cars for one of the majestic steamers of the Champlain Transportation Co. These vessels are models of elegance, neatness and comfort. They are regarded, from their power and safety, the per- fect accommodation they afford, their spacious state-rooms and cabins, and the sumptuous tables they spread, as second to none on the continent. Until Cumberland Head is reached tourists will find them- selves surrounded by scenery wholly unlike that which dis- tinguishes the broad Lake. The wide expanse of water and impending cliffs, which are so imposing here, are pre- ceded by a narrow passage and the affluent fields of Grand Isle and the depressed shores of New York. The steamer now approaches Plattsburg passing over the scene of McDonough's immortal victory. If arriving by the evening boat they will witness the beautiesof a brilliant sun- 8et,and,having seen the objects of interest below Cumberlai Head, will reach Foucjuet's Hotel, Plattsburg, by daylight- f: I f i lu 170 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. I* > % H O ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 17 Fouquet's Hotel is one of the great institutions of Platts- burg. It has been established more than seventy j^ears, and conducted by the same family, almost on the site of the pre- sent elegant structure. The house, by the elegant accom- modation it affords, alike in the suj^eriority of its rooms and the character of its table, the great beauty of the edifice, the magnificent views from the roof and spacious corridors, is inferior in attractions to no place of resort, in the domain of pleasure travel. Having reached Plattsburg, which modern events have rendered the most conspicuous point on the Lake, the tourist will soon discover that a sojourn of more than a single day will be required for an ins})ection of its varied objects of in- terest. The military works made memorable in the siege of Plattsburg in 1814 will claim his attention, nor will he fail to make a pilgrimage to the military graves in the ceme- tery. The drives are delightful, and that to the Ausable Chasm must not in any event be neglected. The staunch little steamer " A. Williams," forms a daily line between Plattsburg and St. Albans, and traverses one of the most interesting portions of the Lake. A peculiarly favorite route to the Adirondacks is formed by the "Whitehall and Plattsburg Eailroad." The cars start from Plattsburg and proceed 20 miles to '•' Point of Eocks" station, the'rc connecting with daily stages running to the wilderness. The small island lying to the left on leaving Plattsburg was named St. Michael by the French ; it was occupied after the battle of 1814 as an hospital, and was then known as "Hospital Island," but is now called " Crab Island." We immediately after enter Yalcour Strait, in which the first action in 1776 occurred, between the British and American fleets. The tiny islet south of Valcour, tradition asserts, was, at an early period, occupied successively by the French and British naval officers, for the cultivation of vegetables 172 ALL ROU.^D ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. andflower-^; it still bears the name of " Garden Island." Nearly opposite this island is situated the Delta of the Ausa- ble River — a sinirularly heantii'ul stream. We next reach Port Kent, an important landinc: place for the rich valley of the Ausable River. It is five miles fiv^m the flourishing, village of Keeseville and three miles from the Ausable Chasm. This wonderful work of nature attracts yearly in- creasing crowds of visitors. It has been pronounced that a view of this scene rewards a voyage from Europe ; the pen and the pencil equally foil in attenipts to adequately deline- ate it,— to be appreciated, it should be deliberately explored and surveyed. No traveller in pursuit of pleasure, or de- sirous to examine the phenomena of nature, should omit to devote a sufficient time to the inspection of this most inter- esting spot. The Chasm may be reached via Port Kent from Burling- ton or Plattsbui"^, from Keeseville or the depot at Pern ; or a particularly jdeasant route is enjoyed by a f'rive of twelve miles from Plattsburg along the margin of the Lake. The Grand Trunk Railway have issued tickets the present season, permitting passengers to stop off at Plattsburg and visit the Chasm. Mount Trcmbleau, a graceful promontor}^ interesting as being the last spur of the Alleghanies upon the Lake, stands immediately south of Port Kent, The steamer now nters upon the widest portion of the Lake. A panoramic view is here unfolded, which blends, in rare felicity and beauty, the wildest magnificence with the most exquisite loveliness ; the waters spread out in a broad expanse that the eye can scarcely embrace, and are broken and embel- ished by countless islands and headlands. Burlington reposes in tranquil beauty in the east, and beyond is deline- ated the outlines of the Green Mountains, with the profile of each summit clearly defined upon tho horizon. In the west, Lion Mountain and the broken groups of the Adiron- ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 173 ALSAULK CUAt^iU. 174 ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. dacks pierce the sky in unnumbered peaks. At times when we contemplate the western sky in the declining day, and the atmosphere is raaiant with the beams of the setting Bun, the scene becomes grand and gorgeous beyond descrip- tion, — earth and air, mountains and lakes are bathed in a glorious and universal effulgence. On the left, near the Vermont shore, stands a massive lighthouse which is erected on a reef, and seems to arise from the bosom of the water. Burlington appears to peculiar advantage as we approach, and is conspicuous among New Eng- land cities for the beauty of its location, its attractive elegance, and high prosperity. Many of its public edifices and private mansions are among the first class of graceful and elegant architecture, fan Ness House, under the manage- ment of Messrs D. C. Barber & Co., and the American House, H. H. Howe, proprietor, offer inducements to tour- ists to remain for a time. Almost in the track of the steamer in her southern route " Eock Dander," a high coni- cal rook, rises from the lake, just beyond the harbor of Burlington. This was probably the groat rack " Riggio," celebrated in colonial annals, and believed to have been, before the eye of Champlain rested upon the beautiful waters of the lake, established by treaty as the boundary between the Mohawks and their hereditary enemies, the Algonquins. Soon after Shelburn Bay will be observed, a deep indentation on the left. This is the great ship-yard of the Steamboat Co., where they construct their vessels, and collect the condemned hulks, here to fall into decay. The vast form of Moujit Mansfield towers remotely in the north- cast. On the eastern horizon the tourist will descry a lofty peak jutting up from the Green Mountains. The imaginings of a slight fancy will delineate the " King of Beasts" reposing amid the clouds, his erect head, his flowing main and huge rocky paws. The French called the moun- tain the "Ijeon Couchant." The four little islets lying ALL ROUND ROUTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. 176 nearly at the cardinal points designated by the French the " Isles-des-quatrevenuts, are now known as the Four Brothers. Near these islandsArnold fought his last battle with Carlton, At the foot of the long peninsula on the western shore, now named Willsboro' Point, is the mouth of an important stream, the Bouquet river embowered by trees and bushes. This was the site of Gilland's colony in 1Y65, and the scene of Burgoyne's famous Indian Treaty. Soon after we pass the beautiful village of Essex, Three miles beyond, and near the Light House we are approaching, is a remark- able natural curiosity; this is "Split Rock," (Eoche fendue of the French), a naked cone separated from the main land by a narrow fissure, and seems to have been carved from the rock itself We next reach the pleasant village of Westport. Kine miles beyond we stop at the thriving village of Port Henry, wnere the immense product of the iron ore beds of that district is shipped to every direction. In the passage from Essex the dark sierra of the Green Mountains is dis- tinctly revealed, tracing a marked outline upon the hori* zon, while dislocated spurs of the Adirondacks are occasional ly projected from the beetling mountains into the lake, but their rough and rugged forms do not betray the inexhaustible wealth teaming in their bosoms. Directly south from Port Henry, across BuUwagga Bay, is situated the peninsula of Crown Point. Chimney Point, which was occupied by the French in 1731, and the ruins of Crown Point are on opposite sides of the lake, and separated by a narrow passage ; there the expanse of the lake terminates, and the long river-like channel, which continues to Whitehall, commences. When we contemplate the silence and repose which now rests upon Crown Point we can hardly realize that, in a former epoch, it was animated by the pomp and if lories of war, or that it was once the mart of a large commerce conducted by a busy population. We soon pass the draw of the railroad bridge, a work of great importance and interest. The tourist will il 176 ALL ROUND ROtTE AND PANORAMIC GUIDE. next perceive the venerable ruins of old ''Fort Ti" or Ticonde- roga looming up on a high rocky clitf at the confluence of the waters of Lakes George and Champlain. Mount Defiance stands on the opposite side of the former, and Mount Indepen- dence on the eastern shore of the Lake. Parties designing to secure the enjoyment of the delightful trip through Lake George, and the luxuries aiforded by the Hotel at Caldwell, will leave the steamer at this point. They will proceed four miles by stages to Lake George, at the landing embark on the beautiful little steamer Minne-ha-ha, and, after a delight- ful sail of thirty-six hours through Lake George, arrive at Caldwell in time for early tea. As we have already men- tioned Stages leave Caldwell daily for Glens Falls, there connecting with trains of Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad for ^Saratoga, Troy, Albany, thence to New York and Boston. A run of twenty miles from Ticonderoga brings the tourist to the wharf of the Steamboat Co. at Whitehall. The steamer in making this passage threads a devious channel between high banks and winding amid rank aquatic grasses. The only object of interest the tourist will notice is South Bay, a broad but shallow expanse of water on the right, and memorable as the route of the ill-fated Diaskeau in 1V55. At this wharf the passenger will enter the magnificent cars of the Rensselaer and Saratoga Railroad, and will be delight- fully and with great speed transj^orted over one of the mo^t perfectly constructed roads on the continent, through to Saratoga, Troy and Albany. Thence by Rail or River he will proceed to New York. THE END.
