As a place of residence, Belleville is most attractive. It is charmingly situated in the valley through which the Moira flows, and on the hills which rise abruptly on either side of the stream, whilst to the south is the Bay cf Quinte —a paradise for the angler, the yachtsman and the oarsman^ Front Sireet, the principal business street. Pinnacle and Mill streets lie 'n thf valley on the east side of the river, whilst on the west side are Colrn;a», Water ajid a number of other less important streets. (\4 tri2 enGtein and western hills are the residences of the great rnaJGcity ot the business and professional men of the place. The streets are all bordered with shade trees, which in summer give them a cool and pleasant appearance, whilst the many handsome buildings and the well kept lawns show to great advantage. The Market Square and Market Building are not excelled in Ontario, and consecjucntly the house-keeper has ample opportunity for choice, as the supply is large and prices moderate. There are three Daily Newspapers published in Belleville, namely the Intelligenclr (Conservative,) the Ontario (Reform,) and Sun (Independent) and they each issue a weekly edition. Belleville contains superior Educational Institutions, among which Albert College, the Ontario Business College, and the Belleville Business College, are the most prominent. Albert College was opened in 1857, and has since been in successful operation. There is a ladies' department in connection, known as Alexandra College- The Business Colleges from a very small beginning have grown until they have altained the proud distinction of being the most largely attended of the tuimerous Business Schools in Canada. At the western suburbs of the City is the Institute for the Deafand Dumb, a handsome «rou|) of buildings, erected and supjmrted by the Ontario Ciovernmenf. There is a Mechanic's Institute, with 4000 volumes, an Opera House, City Hall, also an Hospital and Home for the Kriendless under the auspices of the Women's Christian Association.

The water works system, which was completed in January, 18S8, is one of the most complete and perfect in the country. The' pipes,' which range in diameter from 16 inches to 6 inches, cover xs'/- miles of streets, whilst 165 hydrants furnish a protection for fire purposes so satisfactory that the rates of insurance have been largely lowered in consequence. The supply of water, which is of excellent (luality, is drawn from the Bay of Qi-inte by two Worthington steam pumps, the united capacity of which is 2,000,000 gallons per day. For fire protection purposes the City has two excellent steam fire engines in addition to the water works, and a highly efficient pi d fire brigade. 10 This Cut Represents BURR©WS,^5l-5^"^^'"«' Who for over 20 years has been General Agent of the ©ntario M utual Life Go.
