LAWRENCE TRAVELLER. Pbslav r of Our NIAGARA FALLS. Of the attractions at and about this grandest of Waterfalls where the waters of a great chain of inland seas plunge to a lower level over rugged, shelving ledges, and sweep between bold limestone walls in irresistible force, space forbids that we should enter into a minute description. From the mad rush of the green waters in the rapids over the terrific fall, through the rapids and whirling eddies below, down to the quiet, where the mad current again takes its undisturbed way in a tamer race to the lower Lake, there is no point wanting in interest The- stranger may at first feel a shade of disappointment as he looks for the first time upon the world-famed cataract. So grandly pro- portionate are all the outlines of the bold shores to the volume of the fall, that it is not until the wonder is viewed in detail without reference to the vastness of the combinations as a whole,' that the full majesty and power of the fall is apparent to the sense. The vastness of the plunge grows upon the beholder as he views It by the soft moonlight and in the glare of noon-day, invested ever with a ^' * •"Glorious robe Of terror and of beauty. God's rainbow upon its forehead, His cloud-mantle around its feet." ST. LAWRENCE TRAVELLER. I ST.

It stands at the head of navigation on the river, and was once a place of considerable importance, but unfortunately for Lewiston its com- mercial prospects have been very much blighted since the con struction of the Welland Canal. It is beau'fully situated in the" midst of a very rich and fertile country, and, in consequence, commands the advantages of an extensive fruit trade In i8i ^ It ws destroyed by the British, and rebuilt after the termination of the war. In ,812 it was the headquarters of General Van Rensselaer, of the New York Militia. At one time a suspension bridge spanned the river at this point, connecting it with QUEENSTON on the Canada side, but during the winter of 1864 the bridge was unfortunately carried away by the ice, and up till the present time has never been rebuilt, but now we believe a project IS on foot for the purpose of rebuilding it on a larger and more extensive scale, to which happy event the people of bo"h Lewiston and Queenston look forward with great expectation Queenston is pleasantly situated, but like Le^ston suffer^ much Shts ofT """ '''' '."

One of the most attractive spots in Toronto is the buildings and grounds of this department, which includes the Educational Offices and Depositories, and Educational Museum, the Nor- mal School, with boys and girls Model Schools. The building is situated in the centre of an open square, of about seven and one half acres.

The residence of the Lieutenant Governor is situated on the corner of King and Simcoe streets. It is a grand structure of the modern French style of architecture, and cost over $102,000. Among the other places of interest in Toronto are the Crys- tal Palace, and Exhibition Buildings and Grounds. The St. Lawrence Hall, the Union Station, and the Great Western Sta- tion, the Grand Opera House, the Royal Opera House and many other fine public and private buildings too numerous to mention. We then leave Toronto by one of the steamers of the Riche- lieu and Ontario Navigation Company, for our delightful trip down the beautiful Lake Ontario. PORT DARLINGTON. After having got settled on board the steamer we begin to enjoy the advantages of travelling by boat, and the first place we arrive at is the Port of Darlington, which is situated about 42 miles from Toronto, and is just below the town of Bowman- ville, which is a flourishing manufacturing town with a popu- lation of about 3,000. After leaving Port Darlington the passengers hear the joyful sound of the supper bell, and, after having spent the afternoon in the bracing air for which the Lake is famous, we expect they can do justice to the ample meal which the ever thoughtful steward has prepared for them. Supper being over our next stopping-place is PORT HOPE, which is a flourishing and very pretty town with a population of about 6,000. A small stream known as Smith's Creek, flowing ST. LAWRENCE TRAVELLER. jl through the centre of the town, affords fair w. ter power, advan- tage of which has been taken in the erection of several manu- factunng establishments. This stream forms a valley in which and also on the hills which rise beyond, the town is built. Fori Hope possesses one of the finest harbors on the lake, from which lumber, gram and flour are annually exported to a large amount A large fleet of schooners is engaged in this trade, and, as most of them are owned by people of the town, they add greatly to the wealth of the place. The southern terminus of the Midland Railway of Canada is here, and the Grand Trunk Railway Company have a station here, at which all trains stop. There is also a daily steamer between this point and Charlotte, N Y the port of Rochester, which is 68 miles distant, on the opposite shore of the lake. i i ^^ COBOURG. :ar the joyful he afternoon ; expect they ;r thoughtful r^er our next Seven miles below Port Hope lies Cobourg, an incorporated and IS themarlcet town of an exceedingly beautiful and fertile section of the country.

LAWRENCE TRAVELLER. BELLEVILLE. Belleville, famous for its lumber trade, which has been the chief cause of its prosperity, is beautifully situated on the Bay of Qumt6 and about 45 miles east of Cobourg. It is a handsome town, with many wide and elegant streets, which are well laid out, ht with gas, and contain a number of handsome public and private buildings. Front street is the principal business street of Che town. The Grand Trunk Railway, which passes the back of the town, has two locomotive shops here where they employ over 100 men. During the season of navigation a daily line of steamers ply betwefen this point and Kingston, which is about 48 miles distant. There is also a tri-weekly line running to Oswego, N.

It is pleasantly situated at the head of the Thousand Islands and the River St. Lawrence, where Lake Ontario, the last link of the great cham of the inland seas of the West, together with the Bay of Qumt6 and the great Cataraqui Creek, are united with the mighty channel which conveys and empties their waters into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is one of the oldest settled places in Canada, and is built on the site of the old French Fort of Fron- tenac, lat. 44° 8' N., Ion. 78° 40' W., from Greenwich. It was founded m 1784 and incorporated in 1838. It stands next in strength to Quebec as a place of defence. The P )rt is called Fort Henry, and is at present occupied by some of the Cana- dian volunteers.

Its pleasantest portions lie opposite Alexandria Bay, and its lower section of five hundred acres comprises the well-known AVestminster Park. From this point extensive and interesting views of the entire group of islands are obtained This park is now largely cut up into building ots, many of which are already sold and occupied. Separated by a narrow passage from the eastern end of Wells Island is Mary Island, which is connected with the former by a handsome Utle rustic bridge, It is an oval-shaped body of land, rising from the water to an elevation ailar to that of its larger neigh GANANOQUE. the The first point our steamer stops at after leaving Kingston is e I own of Gananoque, a flourishing town on the Gananoque River, at its confluence with the St. Lawrence. It is about eighteen miles distant from Kingston, and thirty miles from BROCKVILLE. which is the next place we come to. We have now passed the beautiful Lake of the Thousand Islands, and have entered the St Lawrence River proper. Brockville is a beauti- ful town with a population of about 7000. It is built on an ele- vation of graceful ridges, and is one of the handsomest towns in the Dominion. It is called Brockville in honor of the hero of Queenston Heights, General Brock, who fell at Queenston in the year 181 2.

Prescott is the southern t.rmmus of the St Lawrence and Ottawa Railroad which connects Ottawa-the capital of the Dominion-with the frontier, of which more anon. Chimney Island is situated about six miles below Prescott and here are to be seen the remains of an old French fortifica- tion. A small rapid, the first and smallest rapid on the river known as Galop Rapid, is at this island. Waddington, a town on the American side of the river is situated about seven miles below, and opposite to it is Ogden island At this island is Rapid du Plan, and the second of he St Lawrence. The next place we come to is Morrisburg on he Canada side, which contains a population of about sixteen hundred. This place shows the most marked improvement of any village in the eastern section of the province, a success which IS owing to the magnificent country which surrounds it. On the Canadian shore, a short distance below Morrisburg, are situated Aultsville and Farran's Point, also Chrysler's F^rm where a battle between the English and Americans was foughJ in 1813. Louisville is about thirty miles below Ogdensburg Stages run from this place to a popular resort about seven miles distant called Massena Springs. We next arrive at Dickinson's Lding, which IS situated on the Canada side and at the head of the Cornwall canal.

Cornwall is situated at the foot of the Long Saiilt, on the Canada side, and at the entrance to the canal of the same name. This canal affords excellent water power, and several large factories and mills have been erected on its banks, promi- nent among which are the works of the Cornwall Woollen Manufacturing Company. Cornwall Island lies in the river opposite the town, and belongs to the Indians of St. Regis. ST. REGIS. On the south side of the river, a little below Cornwall, lies the village of St. Regis. Our tourist will observe from the deck of the steamer the old church which was built in the year 1700, and still lifts its tin roof above the neighboring houses. The bell which hangs in this church is associated with a deed of genuine Indian revenge. On its way from France it was captured by an English cruiser, and taken into Salem, Massachusetts^ where it was sold to the church at Deerfield, in the same state. The Indians hearing of the destination of their bell, set out for Deerfield, attacked the town^ killed forty-seven of the inhabitants and took one hundred and twelve captives, among whom was the pastor and his family. The bell was then taken down and conveyed to St. Regis, where it now hangs. The boundary line between the United States and Canada passes near this village, and the course of the St. Lawrence is hereafter within Her Majesty's Dominions. LAKE ST. FRANCIS.

It is a favorite resort during the summer months for Montrealers. The famous Lachine Lapids begin just below the town. Opposite is Caughnawaga;, an Indian village. Its name is said to have been given to it by the Jesuits, Cau^ 'awaga signifying " praying Indian." The name was aptly bestowed, for the Indians are ardently attached to the Roman Catholic faith, and every June, in their native paint and adornments, join in celebrating the procession of the FSte Dieu. The famous Indian game of Lacrosse is played to perfection, and here were selected the red men who formed the aboriginal part of the " team " which lately played most acceptably before Her Majesty Queen V^ictoria. At Caughnawaga a canoe leaves the shore, and brings on board the steamer the celebrated Indian pilot, known by the name of Baptiste. Old Baptiste is perhaps the most popular pilot the St. Lawrence river ever knew, having been employed by the owners of this line of steamers to pilot their boats and bring their passengers safely through this last and most dangerous of all thtf^rapids of the river for upwards of thirty-?ix years, and to- day his eye is as keen and his grasp of the helm as firm as it was on the first day he stood in the wheel house. When the water happens to be low there is really more risk than when at other times there is more noise and demonstration as the waves curl and dash with the impetuosity of the sea breaking upon the beach. The sense of sheer descent gives one a pleasing fear as the channel of shallow slippery rocks is safely threaded. He must have been a bold man who first ventured to find a path for his craft through these troubled waters.

Rock, forest and water combine to make'^ position an unfailing charm to the student of landscape art As It ,s to-day so was it one hundred years ago, or, if there' is a difference It is in favor of the latter date, for the pick and the axe had then made fewer inroads upon the sublime work of nature, ^m. ui Quebec is also the most historical city in America. One of he very oldest m date it is by far the most notable in stirring anna s. From ,ts earhest origin it was the theatre of important events whose results stretched far beyond its walls, and swayed the desfntes of the whole continent. Its records are relig'ot^ d,plomat,c, m,htary, and naval. Its great men were mifsion- anes statesmen, soldiers, and sailors. The heroic explorers of he lar West were its sons, or went forth from its gates.

Arnold occupied a house on the south s.de of the St. Charles river, to the east of Scott's bridge, while Montgomery e ablished himself at Holland House on the St. Foye road. The American Troops were quartered m the subur'^s of the city and even in the Intendant's Palace, at the foot of Palace Hill, which was soon reduced to rums by the hre from the city. On the 31st December Montgomery advanced with seven hundred men along Champlain street, and came upon a barrier at which was a guard. At the approach of the Americans a cannon vyas fired, with deadly effect, killing Montgomery, his two aides and others, and causing the immediate dispersion of the enemy. Arnold at the same time advanced from St. Roch along St. Charles street, expecting to meet Montgomery at the foot of Mountam Hill, andmake a combined assault. Arnold occupied the houses on Sault au Matelot street, but was ejected from there byavolunteerofficer,Mons.Dambourges. Arnddwas wounded and taken to the General Hospital. The American loss in killed and wounded was about a bun- dred. Four hundred and twenty six rank and file surrendered, and were placed under guard in the seminary. The remainder con. tmued to occupy St. Roch till the 6th of May, when re-inforce- ments arrived from England, and the siege was raised. Mont- gomery's body was taken to a house on St. Louis street, now occupied by Derby & Hanson, brassfitters, and afterwards buried at the foot of the Citadel Hill, from which it was sub- sequently taken and buried in New York. In 1837 Quebec was in a state of excitement caused by the rebellion of that year. The militia were called out and the city placed under military rule, but nothing of consequence occurred. Une night was heard, however, a loud ringing of bells, and it i ST.

The cause of all this alarm was nevertheless very simple, the singeing of a pig in the Hotel Dieu Nunnery yard. In 1832 and 1834 Quebec was visited by that dreadful scourge, Asiatic Cholera. In the latter year the Castle of St. Louis was destroy- ed by fire. On the 28th May, 1845, the whole of St. Roch was also burnt down, and on the 28th June in the same year nearly the whole of the St. John and St. Louis suburbs suffered a similar fate. By these two fires $2,000,000 worth of property was destroyed, towards covering which $400,000 were sub- scribed in Canada, England and the United States, and $500,- 000 were received from insurance. In 1846, in the month of June, the Theatre, formerly the Rid- ing School attached to the Castle of St. Louis, was destroyed by fire during a performance, when the building was crowded, and fifty-five persons lost their lives. Quebec has often been the prey of extensive conflagrations. In 1853 the Parliament Houses were burnt down, when a large library and museum were lost. The sittings of the House were then transferred to the church of the Grey Sisters near Gallows Hill, which had not then been consecrated. It, however, fell a prey to the devouring element, and the sittings were afterwards held in the Music Hall in St. Louis street. Since the year 1867, the date of confederation, Quebec has been the seat of Government of the Province of Quebec, and the residence of the Lieutenant-Governor, whose beautiful place, Spencer Wood, is well worth a visit from the stranger. The present Parliamentary Buildings will be vacated as soon as the new edifices on the Grand All^e— structures more worthy of the ancient capital of Canada— are ready for occupation. 'il! 7» ST.

At the mouth of the St. Charles is the Cus- tom House, and immediately below the Terrace is the Cham plam Market Hall, an edifice the result c. a political job where- by a noble Parliament House was spoiled to give place to a useless Hall. Close by it is the Church of Notre Dame des \ ictoires, built in 1615 by Champlain, called first Notre Dame de la Victoire to record the defeat of Admiral William Phipps m that year, and its present name to commemorate the loss of the English Fleet under Sir Hovenden Walker, in 1711 At the foot of the cliff runs Champlain street, through which on the 31st December, 1775, Richard Montgomery endeavored to lead an attack on the city, but met his death at a place close by now marked by a wooden sign with the inscription, - Here Montgomery fell." Beneath the steps leading from Champlain street to Mountain Hill, called Break-neck Stairs, was discover- ed a short time ago the tomb of Champlain.

To the south of the Esplanade is the Executive Department, where His Honor the Lieutenant Governor receives his visitors on New Year's Day, and where are held the. meetings of the Council of the Province of Quebec. This building was form- erly the residence of Chief-Justice Sewell. In rear of this is the armory of the volunteers. RICHARD MONTGOMERY. Close at hand, on the Grande Allee, is where once stood St Louis Gate. Near the foot of the Citadel Hill is where Richard Montgomery was buried, after the attempt on December 3ist 1775, from which place his body was taken to New York on i6th June, 1818, and interred in St. Paul's Church Cemetery. THE CITADEL. At the top of the Hill is the chain gate by which access to the trenches IS gained ; and to the Citadel the visitor passes through Dalhousie Gate, called so after Lord Dalhousie, oncea Governor of the colony. At this gate a guard is stationed, and visitors are here furnished with a guide to show them over the Citadel. Behind the walls are casemated barracks for the troops, and these are loopholed for musketry, so as to com- mand the trenches, while on the summits are cannon command- ing all approaches to the city and landward, while on the opposite side are batteries commanding the harbor. Two Armstrong guns are here mounted, as also a huge Palliser Across the Citadel Square are the officers' quarters ; stores for ST. LAWRENCE TRAVELLER. 8i ammunition, stables and other build.. -^. occupy the western portion of the square. To the south, directly overlooking the river, is the Flagstaff Bastion, on which is mounted an Arm. strong gun. This battery is over three hundred and fifty feet above low water, and the view from it is the grandest in the world, commanding the river up and down for many miles. To the west are the Plains of Abraham, ^^•here was fought the decisive battle of 13th September, 1759. Three Martello Towers are to be seen constructed weak towards the city, so as easily to be destroyed in the event of capture, and strong on the outer side, having cannon mounted. Immense military stores are constantly kept ready for use in the Citadel, and arms for twenty thousand are ready at a moment's notice. In the event of the capture of the city it could easily be destroyed from the Citadel. The B Battery, consisting of about two hundred rank and file, are now quartered there, and seem but a handful in the immense fortress. ST. LOUIS STREET. Descending from the Citadel we return to St. Louis street. At a short distance on the left-hand side is the City Hall, bulit on the site of the house to which Montcalm was carried from the Plains of Abraham after being wounded. The third house from the next corner on the same side is the house to which General Montgomery's body was taken on that fatal December day 1775- THE URSULINE CONVENT. Passing down the street we come to the Ursuline convent and chapel, in which lie the remains of the brave Montcalm. This convent was founded in 1641, and, as is usual with all build- p 8s ST. LAWRiNCE TRAVELLER. ti ings of that kind, was destroyed by fire in 1650. Being rehuilt it was again destroyed by fire on 21st October, 1686. On both these occasions the Ursuline nuns were received by the Hospi tah^res nuns of the Hotel Dieu. It was again rebuilt, the whole colony assisting in its construction, so loved and esteemed were the Ursulines. 'I'he convent has been greatly enlarged during the last few years. A garden is in the rear, in which about twenty years ago was a monarch ash tree. The chapel of St. Ursula is alongside the convent, in which are a number of valuable paintings. A monument to the memory of Montcalm, erected September 14th, 1859, deserves atteiuion. Another monument to the memory of Montcalm was erected by Lord Aylmer in 1831. Turning up Garden street towards Hope Gate, we find two old-fashioned houses on the right-hand corner, facing the St. Louis Hotel. In these houses Montcalm established his head- quarters, and here ])robably he discussed with his oflicers the action to be taken sgaiast the enemy, when they appeared on the Plains of Abrab.;nn, ond decided upon meeting them on the open field rather .;.;')* temain entrenched behind the city walls, a decision which prov-:.! so fatal to victor and vanquished, and which gained for f:ngland the Dominion of Canada, and lost to the French king what he contemptuously called a " few acres of snow." On the opposite corner is the Masonic Hall, on the ground flat of which is the oflice of Mr. R. M. Stocking, for the issue of tickets by all the railroad and steam navigation lines in Canada and the United States. Opposite is the ST. LOUIS HOTEL, which is unrivalled for size, style and locality in Quebec and has accommodation for 500 visitors . It is under the able ST.

To the right of the hotel is the Music Hall, where operas, theatricals, concerts, &c., &c., are held,— when there are any. To the east of the hotel is ihe building now ST. LOUIS HOTEL. . used by the Department of Crown Lands, once the residence of the Duke of Kent, the father of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. THE HOTEL DIEU. The Hotel Dieu Convent and Hospital was founded in 1639 by the Duchess d'Aiguillon, who brought out the Hospitalieres Nuns and placed them in charge. Prior to the siege of 1759 It was destroyed by fire and afterwards rebuilt. It consists of a Convent and a Hospital, in which patients are treated gratis. At times the house of these benevolent ladies is filled with unfortunate invalids, who receive unremitting care and atten- tion from the Sisterhood. The bones of the martyr, the Rev. Father Gabriel Lalement, are deposited in the Convent. The entrance to the chapel is on Charievoix street. MICROCOPY RESOLUTION TEST CHART (ANSI and ISO TEST CHART No. 2) 1^ lis u t^ u.

In McMahon street is St. Patrick's Church, erected in 1832. It has lately been enlarged and greatly improved. Attached to it is the Presbytery, and in rear of it is the St. Patrick's Catholic Literary Institute, founded in 1852. The Trinity Chapel (Episcopal), in St. Stanislaus street, was for some years used by the military, and was closed after the withdrawal of the troops. It is now opened as a Mission Chapel. At the top of th^ same hill is the Methodist Church, erected in 1850. It will seat about 1,600. Close at hand is St. Andrew's Church, built in 18 10, and enlarged in 1821. It accommodates 1.500 persons. A manse and schoolhouse are attached. In a building which formerly was the district goal, erected in 1814 at a cost of $60,000, is the Morrin College, which was founded by the late Dr. xMorrin, of Quebec, in i860. The Literary and Historical Society have their rooms here, where a large Library and extensive jMuseum is now in a flourishing condition. The Quebec High School is a handsome building situate in St. Denis street, at the foot of the glacis, stretching downwards from the Citadel. It was established in 1845, and many of the leading men of the city have received their education within its walls.

MONTMORENCI. 24 Leaving the city, and crossing the River St. Charles by Dor- chester Bridge, the visitor will drive along the Beaupo'rt road, and within two miles will reach the Beauport Asylum, founded in 1845 ^y Drs. Morrin, Douglas and Fremont, with the promise of the support of Lord Metcalf and his government. There are now over 900 inmates within its walls. After passing the Asy- lum the village of Beauport may be said to commence, and its houses and cottages line the road for five miles, ending only at the River Montmorenci. On the site of the village, or rather between it and th^ beach, was fought the battle of the 31st July, 1759, between the English and the French. The head- quarters of Montcalm can be seen to the right after pas ing over the Beauport stream. The Falls of Montmorenci may be seen either from above or below. To view them from below the visitor must descend what is called the Zig Zag Hill, which passes through Mr. Hall's property, which was once occupied by the Duke of Kent, the father of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. On reaching the foot of the hill we can pass along the beach, till we arrive, as it were, almost underneath the avalanche of v' >rs, while the spray therefrom descends in a sort of drizv- shower, and through which, if the sun be shining, the brightly-hued rainbov/ can be seen bathing its colors in the frenzied cataract. The body of water, which from the height of 250 feet leaps its pre- cipice, passes, it is said, through the subterraneous passage, and rises in a tumultuous manner near the end of the Island of Or- leans, and gaining the name of La Taureau, by boatmen con- sidered a dangerous spot.

LAWRENCE TRAVELLER. Near by is what is called the Fairy River, which mysterious- ly disappears beneath the earth and again as mysteriously reappears. . ST. ANNE. This is a village of great repute, called sometimes St. Anne du Nord, but always La Bonne St. Anne, to whom is consecra- ted the parish church, in which are evidences of her power to cure the halt, the lame and the blind, in the shape of piles of discarded crutches, once the property of those who came here having faith in La Bonne Ste. Anne, and departed blessing her and leaving their crutches as mementoes. Her festival day is the 26th July, and yearly about 20,000 persons pay her honor at her shrine in the village church. St. Anne is the mother of the Virgin, and a bone of her hand is the relic which works all the miracles in that happy village, which has been created by the Pope into a shrine of the first order, to which pilgrims flock in crowds from all parts of the continent. A picture of her, by the famous artist Le Brun, is over the altar. By a road which is on the north side of the bridge, at a dis- tance of about four miles, are the Falls of St. Anne, which con- sist of seven cascades, over which the water rushes through a confined passage, across which one with a steady nerve can venture a leap, which, if he succeed not in doing, even St.* Anne could not save from certain death. The scenery in the vicinity of the Falls is wild and desolate in the extrem.e. The river St. Ann abounds with trout and salmon. ISLAND OF ORLEANS.

St. Jean St. Laurent, St. Francois, and St. Fereol are all flo- ,ing and their churches date from the old times, or the present ones have replaced the old. A steamer calls at these villages for the convenience of strangers. Ijhe views of Quebec and the Falls of Montmorenci, in fact of all the surroundings, are very fine, while the delightful walks and dnves through the Island woods and along the beach are a constant source of j^leasure. Bathing is also much indulged in, and, although neUher trout nor salmon are to be caught, there is a great deal of fishing, and bass, white fish and smelt are taken in myriads. LORETTE. The Indian village of Lorette is nine miles from town, and can be reached by the Charlesbourg road, turning off to the left at the village of Charlesbourg, or by the Little River road which divides at Scott's Bridge, one branch going by the north and the other by the south side of the River St. Charles both re-joimng at the distance of about three miles. On the 'south branch is the French Catholic cemetery, and beyond it the St. Charles race course. Lorette is situated on a hill, over which passes the River St- Charles, forming in the centre of the village the charmingly beautiful Falls of Lorette. It has more the character of a cascade, and there are delightful pieces of scenery from above and below, and the river itself is a wild torrent, in which at one time salmon were taken.

It has been renova- ted, enlarged and modernized. Stage lines connect with the Eastern Railway trains at North Conway, and with the Port- land and Ogdensburg Railway at North Conway and Bartlett, also stage line through Bartlett to Crawford House. Autumnal catarrh and hay fever are unknown troubles with the patrons of this house. The house is opened as early as June 12th for visitors, and an excellent band of music is in attendance for promenades and dancing in its spacious halls in the pleasure season. Visitors to the Notch may ascend to the summit by the car- riage road, and descend by the Mountain Railway to Fabyan or White Mountain House, and from thence to the Crawford House at the Notch. But there are numerous objects of in terest in and around the Glen which will be visited before making the ascent. PEABODY RIVER runs in front of the hotel and distant about a mile. On this river are those curious proofs of the effect of continued action of running water upon solid rock, known as the " Garnet Pools," where the solid granite bed is worn for some distance into curi- ous and peculiar forms, which cannot but interest you. On the road to Conway, over which you will have come from Bartlett, a more leisurely visit will enable you to see thosg curiosities in nature which so greatly add to the attractions at the point.

The " Snow Arch," formed by the waters from a " thousand streams " run- ning under and melting the snow, is a grand and novel feature of the region in the early part of August. This grand ice arch extends for two or three hundred feet, supported by ice pillars standing on boulders which prevent the melting of the column of ice resting upon them ; but the long summer eventually tells upon the frigid mass, and the ice palace vanishes in humid mists. GLEN ELLIS FALLS are about four miles from the Glen House, reached by taking a foot path leading from the main road through a pine thicket, which speedily brings you to the brink of a rocky precipice above a narrow gorge overhung with dark masses of foliage. Descending this cliff by the irregular natural steps and rude artificial helps, you reach the bottom of a dark chasm and stand upon the brink of a foaming cauldron of emerald water, and glancing upwards you can see the stream leaping seventy feet at a single bound from the worn channel of the rock. The scenery around this waterfall combines all the elements of beauty, wildness and startling contrast which the most romantic could expect or desire.
