PREFACE. 
 
 The Proprietors of the Ottawa Hotel take pleasure 
 in presenting to the Tourist their " Guide Book " this 
 season, in an improved dress and enlarged form, and 
 in order to please the Traveller, by the world-renouned 
 trip down the St. Lawrence and its Rapids, have added 
 additional matter, giving a more full description of the 
 various places on the Route, and a more particular 
 description of each Rapid ; they have spared neither 
 labour or expense to make this a thoroughly reliable 
 book, and it is presented by their Agent, "gratis," to 
 the Traveller, thereby affording as good, if not better, 
 information than is found in a " Route Guide " for 
 which the Tourist is charged fifty cents or one dollar. 
 No other Guide now before the public is either 
 sufficiently recent or sufficiently comprehensive to be 
 safely followed by the Tourist from Niagara Falls to 
 the far-famed Sauguenay River. It is not without 
 confidence, therefore, that we commit this Hand-Book 
 as a reliable and much needed one, to the Travelling- 
 Public. 
 
 Very respectfully, 
 
 BURNETT & MATHER.

 TRAVELLER'S GUIDE. 
 
 LEWISTON. 
 
 This village is situated at the head of navi2:ation, 
 on the Lower Niagara, and is a place of considerable 
 importance. It lies three miles below the Devil's 
 Hole, and seven miles below the Falls. Lewiston is 
 a pleasant, well built village, but its commercial pros- 
 pects have been very much injured b}- the construction 
 of the Erie and Welland Canals. 
 
 QUEENSTON. 
 
 Is a small village, situated nearly opposite to Lewis- 
 ton, and contains about 200 inhabitants. It is the 
 Canadian termination of the Bridge, and is associated 
 in history with the gallant defence made by the Brit- 
 ish on the adjacent heights in the war of 18 12. The 
 village is pleasantly situated, but it has suffered from 
 the same causes that have retarded the growth of 
 Lewiston. Near this point the river becomes more 
 tranquil, the shores appear less broken and wild, and 
 the change in the scenery affords a pleasing transition 
 from the sublime to the beautiful.

 BROCK'S MONUMENT. 
 
 The Monument stands on the Heights of Queenston 
 from whence the village derived its name. The 
 present structure occupies the site of the former one, 
 which was blown up by some miscreant, on the 17th 
 of April, 1840. The whole edifice is four hundred and 
 eighty-five feet high on the sub-base which is forty 
 feet square and thirty feet high, are placed four lions, 
 facing north, south, east, and west ; the base of the 
 pedestal is twenty-one and a half feet square, and ten 
 feet high ; the pedestal itself is sixteen feet square, and 
 ten feet high surmounted with a heavy cornice, orna- 
 mented with lions heads and wreaths, in alto-relievo. 
 In ascending from the top of the pedestal to the top 
 of the base of the shaft the form changes from square 
 to round. The shaft is a fluted column of freestone, 
 seventy-five feet high and ten feet in diameter ; on 
 which stands a Corinthian capital, ten feet high, 
 whereon is wrought, in relief, a statue of the Goddess 
 of War On this capital is the dome, nine feet high, 
 which is reached by 250 spiral steps from the base, 
 on the inside. On the top of the dome is placed a 
 colossal statue of Gen. Brock, 
 
 FORT NIAGARA. 
 
 This Fort stands at the mouth of the Niagara River, 
 on the American side. There are many interesting 
 associations connected with this spot ; as, during the 
 earlier part of the past century, it was the scene of 
 many severe conflicts between the Whites and the 
 Indians, and subsequently bet en the English and 
 the French. The names of the heroic La Salle, the 
 courtly De Nouville, and the gallant Prideaux, will

 long retain a place in the history of this country. 
 The village adjacent to the Fort is called Youngs- 
 town, in honour of its founder, the late John Young 
 Esq. 
 
 NIAGARA 
 
 Is one of the oldest towns in Upper Canada, and was 
 formerly the capital of the Province. It is situated 
 where the old town of Newark stood, and is opposite 
 to Youngstown. J«- faces the river on one side, and 
 Lake Ontario on the other. The trade of this place 
 has been diverted to St. Catherine's since the com- 
 pletion of the Welland Canal ; and the other towns 
 upon the Niagara River have suffered in common, 
 from the same cause. 
 
 TORONTO, 
 
 the Capital City in Upper Canada, is situatated on an 
 arm of Lake Ontario, thirty-six miles from the mouth 
 of Niagara River. This city was formerly called 
 Little York. The first survey was made in 1793. 
 Toronto Bay is a beatiful inlet, separated from the 
 main body of Lake Ontario, except at its entrance, 
 by a long, narrow, sandy beach. The south-western 
 extremity is called Gibraltar Point. The population, 
 in 181 7, was 1200; but at the present time, it amounts 
 to about 60,000. With a similar progress for a few 
 years to come, the population of this city will be 
 second to none in British America. Among the prin- 
 cipal buildings of Toronto, are a University and a 
 Cathedral. One of the ecclesiastical edifices deserves 
 especial notice, — the Church of the Holy Trinity ; a 
 handsome structure, erected by a donation of five 
 thousand pounds from some liberal person from 
 England, on condition that the whole of the seats

 should be free. The Elghi Association, for improving 
 the moral and religious condition of the colored 
 population, is among the most useful institutions of 
 the place. That stupendous undertaking, the Grand 
 Trunk Railway of Canada, passes through Toronto, 
 and promises a splendid future, not only for this city, 
 but for every other city in the country ; for the benefits 
 to be derived from it are incalculable. Nature has 
 bestowed fine rivers and vast lakes, which have already 
 been made fully subservient to commerce ; but how 
 wonderfully will commerce be advanced by the linking 
 of these lakes and rivers by means of railways. Thus 
 will be constitute!^ one great unbroken medium of 
 speedy communication from the for West of America 
 to the shores of the Atlantic. 
 
 PORT HOPS. 
 
 is situated sixty-five miles from Toronto. A small 
 stream, which here falls into the Lake, has formed a 
 valley, in which the town is located. The harbor 
 formed at the mouth of this stream is shallow, but 
 safe and commodious. Port Hope is a very pretty 
 town; on the western side the h.ils rise gradually one 
 above another. The highest summit, which is called 
 " Fort Orton,'' affords a fine prospect, and overlooks 
 the country for a great distance around. The village 
 is incorporated, and contains about 2200 inhabitants. 
 
 COBOURG 
 
 lies seven miles below Port Hope, and contains 4000 
 inhabitants. The town contains seven churches, two 
 banks, three grist mills, two foundries, and the largest 
 cloth factory in the province. It is also the seat of

 Victoria College and a Theological Institute. Midway 
 between Port Hope and Cobourg is " Duck Island," 
 on which a lighthouse is maintained by the govern- 
 ment. 
 
 KINGSTON. 
 
 This place was called by the Indians, " Cataracquiy 
 A settlement was begun by the French, under De 
 Courcelles, as early as 1672. The Fort wliich was 
 finished the next year, was called Fort Frontcnac, in 
 honour of the French Count of that name. This 
 Fort was alternately in the possession of the French 
 and the Indians, until it was destroyed by the expedi- 
 tion under Col. Bradstreet, in 1758. In 1762, the 
 place fell into the hands of the English, from whom it 
 received its present name. Kingston was one of the 
 most important military posts in Canada. It is one 
 hundred and ten miles from Cobourg, and contains 
 about 11,000 inhabitants. 
 
 [Before proceeding down the St. Lawrence, we 
 will retrace our steps, and briefly notice the places on 
 the American side of Lake Ontario.] 
 
 OSWEGO 
 
 is the next port after passing Charlottesville. It is a 
 beautiful and flourishing town, and contains a popula- 
 tion of about 15,000. It is the commercial centre of 
 a fertile and wealthy part of the country, and is the 
 terminus of a railroad and a canal, connecting it with 
 Syracuse and the New York Central Railway. The 
 history of this place is associated vith many hard bat- 
 tles, fought during the time of the Indian and French 
 wars.

 SACKETT'S HARBOUR. 
 
 Is situated about forty-five miles from Oswego, and 
 twenty miles from the St. Lawrence. It lies upon the 
 north-eastern shore of Lake Ontario, and derives its 
 name from Mr. Sackett of Jamacia, L. I., who pur- 
 chased and took possession of it in 1799. It is ad- 
 mirably fitted, from its position, for a naval station, 
 and is now the seat of a military post, called " Madi- 
 son Barracks." 
 
 THE THOUSAND ISLANDS 
 
 are amongst the wonders of the St. Lawrence, situa- 
 ted about six miles below Kingston. There are in fact 
 no less than 1,800 of these "emerald gems in the ring 
 of the wave," of all sizes, from the islet a few yards 
 square, to miles in length. It is a famous spot for 
 sporting ; myriads of wild fowl of all descriptions may 
 here be found ; and angling is rather fatiguing than 
 otherwise, from the great quantity and size of the fish. 
 These Islands, too, have been the scene of most ex- 
 citing romance. From their great number, and the 
 labyrinth-like channels among them, they afforded an 
 admirable retreat for the insurgents in the last Cana- 
 dian insurrection, and for the American sympathizers 
 with them ; who, under the questionable name of 
 " patriots," sought only to embarass the British Gov- 
 ernment. Among these was one man, who, from his 
 daring and ability, became an object of anxious pur- 
 suit to the Canadian authorities ; and he found a safe 
 asylum in these watery intricacies, through the devo- 
 tedness and courage of his daughter, whose inimitable 
 management of her canoe was such, that through 
 hosts of pursuers she baffled their efforts at capture,

 while she supplied him with provisions in these soli- 
 tary retreats, rowing him from one place of conceal 
 ment to another, under shadow of the night. But, in 
 truth, all the islands, which are so numerously stud- 
 ded through the whole chain of those magnificent 
 Lakes, abound with materials for romance and poe- 
 try. For instance, in the Manitoulin Islands, in Lake 
 Huron, the Indians believe that the Manitou^ that is, 
 the Great Spirit (and hence the name of the islands) 
 has forbidden his children to seek for gold ; and they 
 tell you that a certain point, where it is reported to 
 exist in large quantities, has never been visited by the 
 disobedient Indian, without his canoe being over- 
 whelmed in a tempest. 
 
 CLAYTON. 
 
 This village is situated on the American side, 
 opposite the ** Thousand Islands," and is of consider- 
 able importance as a lumber station. Square timber 
 and staves are here made up into large rafts, and 
 floated down the St. Lawrence to Montreal and 
 Quebec. These rafts are often very large ; and as 
 they require a great number of men to navigate them, 
 the huts erected for their shelter give them, as they 
 pass down the river, the appearance of small villages. 
 Many of the steamers and other craft that navigate 
 Lake Ontario are built here, and during the past five 
 years Clayton has become a great resort for pleasure 
 seekers, " the fishing and shooting, is the best on the 
 St. Lawrence, the late Geo. Peabody Esq., has spent 
 several weeks here each season when in this country 
 for the last five years to enjoy the sports of fishing, 
 shooting, bathing, etc., other celebrities could be 
 named also," who make their annual visits here, the 
 beauty of the Islands and River at this place cannot

 be surpassed — tliere are also two goo.d Hotels here, 
 that are filled with pleasure seekers during the 
 summer months, the Johnson House fronts the 
 River and is near the Steam Boat Landing, and the 
 Hubbard House near the centre of the town both 
 enjoy good reputations. 
 
 ALEXANDRIA BAY 
 
 is the next port, after leaving Clayton. It is built 
 upon a massive pile of rocks, and its situation is ro- 
 mantic and highly picturesque. It is a place of 
 resort for sportsmen. Some two or three miles below 
 the village, is a position from whence one hundred 
 islands can be seen at one view. This place also is 
 celebrated for its fishing and shooting. The beauty 
 of the Islands in this vicinity for several miles up and 
 down the River can hardly be immagined without 
 a personal visit. There are a great quantity of fish 
 killed here known as the Mascolonge, they are of 
 large size many of them weighing forty to fifty and 
 often as high as seventy pounds, they are taken with 
 trolling lines and it requires a skilful angler to land 
 one safely. Sportsmen consider the taking of one of 
 these fish equal to Salmon fishing. There is a good 
 Hotel here which is filled with visitors during the 
 Summer. The proprietor is H. Grossman. 
 
 BROCKVILLE 
 
 was named in honor of General !Brock, who fell on 
 Queenston Heights, in the war of 1812. It is situa- 
 ted on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence, and is 
 one of the pleasantest villages in the province. It is 
 situated at the foot of the Thousand Islands, on an

 elevation of land which rises from the river in a suc- 
 cession of ridges. The town was laid out in-i8o2, 
 and is now a place of considerable importance. The 
 present population is about 4000. It is growing very 
 rapidly and is one of the most pleasant, healthy and 
 thriving towns on this side of the river. 
 
 OGDENSBURG, 
 
 In the year 1748, the Abbe Francois Piquet, who 
 was afterwards styled the "Apostle of the Iroquois," 
 was sent to establish a mission at this place, as many 
 of the Indians of that tribe had manifested a desire 
 of embracing Christianity. A settlement was began 
 in connection with this mission, and a fort, called 
 " La Presentation," was built at the mouth of the 
 Oswegatchie, on the west side. The remains of the 
 walls of this Fort are still to be seen. In October, 
 1749, it was attacked by a band of Indians from the 
 Mohawks, who, although bravely repulsed, succeeded 
 in destroying the pallisades of the fort and two of the 
 vessels belonging to the colony. The Abbe Piquet 
 retired from the settlement soon after the defeat of 
 Montcalm, and finally returned to France, where he 
 died in 1781. 
 
 In describing the situation of the ground on the 
 east side of the river, opposite to his fort, the Abbe*, 
 with his accustomed discrimination, remarked : " A 
 beautiful town could hereafter be built here." This 
 prediction has been fully verified ; and the city of 
 Ogdensburgh now occupies this side. It has in- 
 creased rapidly within the past few years, and will 
 doubtless become a large manufacturing place. The 
 Northern Railroad, which runs to Lake Champlain, 
 a distance of one hundred and eighteen miles, and 
 which connects at Rouse's Point with the railroads to 
 
Baoe, Field, Marine, and Opera Qlasses, 
 
 14 OTTAWA HOTEL 
 
 Boston and Montreal, has its terminus here. We 
 may add that in time it will be a large city, as it con- 
 tinues to grow rapidly and is one of the wealthiest cities 
 of its size in the State of New York. The streets 
 are wide, and lined with beautiful shade trees, and the 
 private residences some of them are magnificent, and 
 the public buildings are very fine. It is also a great 
 resort during the summer season for pleasure seekers, 
 and being the terminus of the Ogdensburg and Rome 
 Railroad, it is one of the principal points for travellers 
 to take the steamers down the Rapids, for Montreal. 
 The principal Hotel at Ogdensburg is the Seymour 
 House — F. J. Tallman, proprietor. 
 
 PRESCOTT 
 
 is situated on the Canada side of the St. Lawrence, 
 opposite Ogdensburg, and contains about 3000 inhabi- 
 tants. Previous to the opening of the Rideau Canal 
 between Kingston and Ottawa City (formerly Bytown), 
 Prescott was a place of importance in the carrying 
 trade between Kingston and Montreal ; but since that 
 event its growth has been checked. Matters have, 
 however, again changed, and for Prescott there are 
 prospects of brighter days to come. Through the 
 iniluence, and energy, and untiring perseverance of 
 Robert Bell, Esq., of Ottawa City, a railroad has been 
 built, under almost insurmountable obstacles, which 
 extends from Ottawa City to Prescott, and there 
 connects the Ottawa River with the St. Lawrence. 
 The enterprise has, thus far, more than realized the 
 most sanguine hopes of its projector. About a mile 
 below the town of Prescott, at a place called "Wind- 
 mill Point," are the ruins of an old stone windmill, in 
 which, in 1837, the "Patriots," under Von Shultz, a 
 Polish exile, established themselves, but from which

 they were driven with severe loss. About five miles 
 below Prescott 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. 
 
 THE GALOP RAPID. 
 
 The next town on the American side is Wadding- 
 ton ; and in the river, over against it, is Ogdcn Island. 
 On the Canada side is Morrisburg, formerly called 
 West Williamsburg. It is called the Port of Morris- 
 town, and contains about two hundred inhabitants. 
 A short distance below Morristown, on the 
 Canada side, is Chryseler's Farm, where, in 1813, 
 a battle was fought between the English and 
 the Americans. The Americans were commanded 
 by Gen. Wilkinson, and were at that time descending 
 the river to attack Montreal. The attempt was 
 afterwards abandoned. Thirty miles below Ogdens- 
 burg is Louisville, from whence stages run toMassena 
 Springs, distant seven miles. 
 
 LONG SAULT. 
 
 A continuous rapid of 9 miles, divided in the centre 
 by an island. The usual passage for steamers is ou 
 the south side. The channel on the north side was 
 formerly considered unsafe anH dangerous ; but 
 examinations have been made, and it is now descended 
 with safety. The passage in the southern channel is 
 very narrow, and such is the velocity of the current 
 that a raft, it is said, will drift the nine miles in forty 
 minutes.

 DESCENT OF THE RAPIDS. 
 
 This is the most exciting part of tho whole passage 
 of the St. Lawrence. The rapids o( the " Long Sauk" 
 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 immi- 
 nence of which is enhanced to the imagination by the 
 tremendous roar of the headlong, boiling current. 
 Great nerve, and force, and precision are here required 
 in piloting, so as to keep the vessel's head straight 
 with the course of the rapid ; for if she diverges in the 
 least, presenting her side to the current, or " broached 
 to," as the nautical phrase is, she would be instantly 
 capsized and submerged. Hence the necessity of 
 enormous power over her rudder ; and for this purpose 
 the mode of steering affords great facility, for the 
 wheel that governs the rudder is placed ahead, and by 
 means of chain and pulley sways it. But in descend- 
 ing the rapids a tiller is placed astern to the rudder 
 itself, so that the tiller can be manned as well as the 
 wheel. Some idea may be entertained of the peril of 
 descending a rapid, when it requires four men at the 
 wheel and two at the tiller to ensure safe steering. 
 Here is the region of the daring raftsmen, at whose 
 hands are demanded infinite courage and skill ; and, 
 despite of both, loss of life frequently occurs.

 The St. Lawrence canal wai^ designed for paddle 
 steamers, but from the magnitude of the rapids and 
 their regular incHiiation the aid of the locks is not re- 
 quired in descending the river. Large steamers, draw- 
 ing seven feet water, with passengers and the mails, 
 leave the foot of Lake Ontai io in the morning, and 
 reach the wharves of Montreal by daylight, without 
 passing through a single lock. At some of the rapids 
 there are obstacles preventing the descent of deeply 
 laden craft ; but the government are about to give 
 the main channel in all the rapids a depth of ten feet 
 water, when the whole descending trade by steam 
 will keep the river, leaving the canals to ascending 
 craft.

 river by the Cornwall canal, and come out into the 
 river about twelve miles above. 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. 
 
 ST. REGIS 
 
 is an old Indian village, and lies a little below Corn- 
 wall, on the opposite side of the river. It contains a 
 Catholic 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 col- 
 lect furs sufficient to purchase one. The furs were 
 collected, the money was sent to France, and the 
 bell was bought and shipped for Canada ; but the ves- 
 sel which contained it was captured by an English 
 cruiser, and taken into Salem, Massachusetts. The 
 bell was afterwards purchased for the church at Deer- 
 field. 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 New England colo- 
 nists, and proceeded through the then long, trackless 
 wilderness, to Deerfield, which they attacked in the 
 night. The inhabitants, unsuspicious of danger, were 
 aroused from sleep only to meet the tomahawk and 
 scalping knife of the savages. Forty-seven were 
 killed, and one hundred and twelve taken captive ; 
 among whom were Mr. Williams, the pastor, and his 
 family. Mrs. Williams being at the time feeble, and 
 not able to travel with her husband and family, was 
 killed by the Indians. Mr. Williams and a part of 
 his surviving family afterwards returned to Deerfield, 
 but the others remained with the Indians, and became 
 
of McGill University, 299 Notre Dame Street.

 connected with the tribe. The Rev. Eleazar Williams, 
 one of the supposed descendents from this family, has 
 been mysteriously identified with the lost Dauphin of 
 France. The Indians, after having completed their 
 work of destruction, fastened the bell to a long pole, 
 and carried it upon their shoulders a distance of nearly 
 one hundred and fifty miles, to the place where Bur- 
 lington now stands ; they buried it there, and in the 
 folio vving spring removed it to the church of St. Regis, 
 where it now hangs. 
 
 LAKE ST. FRANCIS. 
 
 This is the name of that expansion of the St. Law- 
 rence which begins near Cornwall and St. Regis, and 
 extends to Coteau du Lac, a distance of forty miles. 
 The surface of this lake is interspersed with a great 
 number of small islands. The village of Lancaster is 
 situated on the northern side, about midway of this 
 lak^. 
 
 COTEAU DU LAC 
 
 is a small village, situated at the foot of Lake St. 
 Francis. The name as well as the style of the build- 
 ings, denotes its French origin. Just below the vil- 
 lage are the Coteau Rapids. 
 
 At Coteau du Lac, fifty miles (by water) above 
 Montreal, commences a rapid of the sam^ extent ex- 
 tending about two miles. 
 
 Seven miles below this commences the Cedar Ra- 
 pid, which extend about three miles, then comes the 
 Coteau Cedar, Split Rock and Cascade Rapids, which 
 terminate at the head of Lake St. Louis, where the 
 dark waters of the Ottawa, by one of its mouths, join

 the St. Lawrence. These rapids in eleven miles have 
 a descent of 82^ feet. 
 
 CEDARS. 
 
 The village presents the same marks of French ori- 
 gin as Coteau du Lac. In the expedition of Gen, 
 Amherst, a detachment of three hundred men, that 
 were sent to attack Montreal, were lost in the rapids 
 near this place. The passage through these rapids is 
 very exciting. There is a peculiar motion of the 
 vessel, which in descending seems like settling down, 
 as she glides from one ledge to another. In passing 
 the rapids of the Split Rock, a person unacquainted 
 with the navigation of these rapids will almost invo- 
 luntarily 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 run- 
 ning directly upon it, and you feel certain that she 
 will strike ; but a skilful 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. Heie vessels enter the 
 Beauharnois canal, and pass around the rapids of the 
 Cascades, Cedars, und Coteau, 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 St. Louis. 
 From this place a view is had of Montreal Mountain, 
 nearly thirty miles distant. In this lake is Nun's 
 Island, which is beautifully cultivated, and belongs to 
 the Grey Nunnery, at Montreal. There are many is-

 lands in the vicinity of Montreal belonging to the 
 different nunneries, and from which they derive large 
 revenues. 
 
 LACHINE. 
 
 This village is nine miles from Montreal, with 
 which it is connected by railroad. The Lachine 
 Rapids begin just below the town. The current is 
 here so swift and wild that to avoid it a canal has been 
 cut around these rapids. This canal is a stupendous 
 work, and reflects much credit upon the energy and 
 enterprise of the people of Montreal. 
 
 CAUGHNAWAGA, 
 
 an Indian village lying on the south bank of the river, 
 near the entrance of the Lachine Rapids, derived its 
 name from the Indians that had been converted by the 
 Jesuits, who were called " Caughnawagas^^^ or "pray- 
 ing Indians." This was probably a misnomer, for 
 they were distingiushed for their predatory incursions 
 upon their neighbors in the New England provinces. 
 The bell that now hangs in their church was the pro- 
 ceeds of one of these excursions. It is at this place 
 the old Indian pilot shoots out in his bark canoe and 
 boards the steamer for the purpose of piloting her 
 down the Lachine Rapids. Batizte, the old Indian 
 pilot, is as anxiously looked for by passengers on 
 board of steamers down this Lachine Rapids as the 
 Rapid itself, he is now an old man being about sixty 
 years of age he has made it his business for over 
 forty years to pilot steamers down the Rapids and 
 has not missed a day in twenty years, during the 
 summer season, he is employed exclusively by the 
 Canadian Navigation Co. The village of Laprarie 
 is some seven miles below Caughnawaga.

 The Lachine Rapids a few miles above Montreal, 
 are the last rapids of importance that occur on the 
 St. Lawrence, are now considered the most difficult 
 of navigation. They are obviated by the Lachine 
 canal, 8J- miles in length, overcoming a descent of 
 44 J feet. 
 
 And now the traveller comes to the last wonder of 
 the present age, namely, the Victoria Bridge, span- 
 ning the noble St. Lawrence River, two miles long, 
 the longest and largest bridge in the world, after 
 which the delighted traveller comes in full view of the 
 city of Montreal, the most prominent object being the 
 two towers of the church of Notre Dame. 
 
 CITY OF MONTREAL. 
 
 The City of Montreal is the largest and most 
 populous city in British North America. It was 
 founded by M. de Maissonneuve, in 1642, on the site 
 of an Indian village named Hochelaga, and dedicated 
 to the Virgin Mary as its patroness and its protector, 
 and for a long period bore the name of Ville Marie. 
 It is laid in the form of a parallelogram, and contains 
 some two hundred streets, with a population of over 
 130,000. 
 
 The traveller, in approaching the city from the 
 river, is struck with the peculiar beauty of the large 
 cut stone buildings which front the majestic river St. 
 Lawrence, on whose banks they are reared, re- 
 sembling in their solid masonry and elegance the 
 building of European cities. 
 
 The Island of Montreal is, in fact, most properly 
 regarded as the garden of Canada. The city being 
 at the head of ship navigation, her local advantages 
 are unsurpassed.

 PLACES OF INTEREST. 
 
 Among the many substantial and elegant edifices 
 in the city of recent completion, maybe mentioned — 
 
 The New Court House, on Notre Dame-street, and 
 directly opposite to Nelson's Monument, is of elegant 
 cut stone in the Grecian Ionic style. The ground 
 plan is 300 by 125 ft. ; height 76 feet. 
 
 The Post Office, on Great St. James-street, is a 
 beautiful cut stone building. 
 
 The Merchants' Exchange, situated on St. Saera- 
 ment-street. 
 
 The Mechanics' Institute, a very fine building 
 situated on Great St. James-street, of cut stone, three 
 storeys high, built in the Italian style. The Lecture 
 Room is tastefully finished. 
 
 The Mercantile Library Association, Bonaventure- 
 street. 
 
 The Bank of Montreal, Place d'Armes, St. James- 
 street, opposite the Cathedral, an elegant cut stone 
 building of the Corinthian order. 
 
 The City Bank, next to the above, in the Grecian 
 style of cut stone, and worthy of note. 
 
 The Bank of British North America, Great St. 
 James-street, next to the Post Office, is a handsome 
 building of cut stone, and built in the composite style 
 of architecture. 
 
 Molson's Bank, Great St. James-street, is a hand- 
 some structure, built of Ohio sandstone. The finest 
 in the city. 
 
 The Bonsecours Market, on St. Paul and Water- 
 streets, is a magnificent edifice in the Grecian and 
 Doric style ; cost about ^300,000 ; has a front of three 
 storeys on Water-street, nnd two storeys on St. Paul. 
 The upper part of the building is occupied by the 
 
Transits, Theodolites and Levels repaired at 
 
 24 traveller's guide. 
 
 various officers of the city. The City Council Room 
 is fitted up in the most elegant style. In the east 
 wing of the building is a large hall or concert room. 
 
 The McGill College. — This is an institution of very 
 high repute. It was founded by the Hon. James 
 McGill, who bequeathed a valuable estate and ;^io,ooo 
 for its endowment. The buildings for the Faculty of 
 Arts are delightfully situated at the base of the moun- 
 tain, and commands an extensive view. 
 
 The wharves of the city are unsurpassed by any on 
 the American Continent. They are built of wood, 
 and meeting with the locks and cut stone wharves ot 
 Lachine, they present for several miles a display of 
 continuous wharfage which has few parallels. Unlike 
 the levees of the Ohio and Mississippi, no unsightly 
 warehouses disfigure the river side. A broad terrace, 
 faced with grey limestone, the parapets of which are 
 surmounted with a substantial iron railing, divides the 
 city from the river throughout its whole extent. 
 
 The remaining public buildings worthy of notice 
 are : the Old Government House, Notre Dame-street, 
 now occupied as the Normal School ; the Barracks ; 
 the Custom House, St. Paul-street ; the Bon Pasteur 
 Nunnery ; Hotel Dieu Hospital, Sherbrooke-street ; 
 Church of the Gesu, Bleury-street. 
 
 Mount Royal Cemetery is situated on the east side 
 of the mountain, about two miles from the city. 
 Judgment and taste have been displayed in the selec- 
 tion and management of the grounds; it is much 
 visited by strangers. 
 
 The Champ de Mars. — This is a favorite promenade 
 for citizens and strangers, being the general parade 
 and review ground of the military, and is frequently 
 enlivened during the summer evenings by music from 
 the fine bands of the regiments. 
 
Underbill's Optical Emporium, 299 N. Dame Street. 
 
 OTTAWA HOTEL 25 
 
 Viger-square, near the Champ de Mars, is beautifully 
 laid out into a garden, with conservator)', fountains, &c. 
 Place d'Armes is a handsome square between No- 
 tre Dame and Great St. James-streets, opposite the 
 French Cathedral. It is surrounded by a neat iron 
 railing, and tastefully laid out and planted with shade 
 trees ; in the centre of the square is a fountain. 
 
 The Victoria Bridge. — The cost of this gigantic 
 structure was originally estimated at ;^i, 450,000, but 
 this sum has since been reduced and the present cal- 
 culation of its cost is about ;£"i, 250,000. In it 250.- 
 000 tons of stone, and 7,500 tons of iron have been 
 used. The iron superstructure is supported by 24 
 piers and two abutments The centre span is 330 
 feet; there are 12 spans each side of the centre of 
 242 feet each. The length of the abutments is 242 
 feet each. The extreme length, including abutments, 
 is 7000 feet. The height above summer water level 
 in the centre opening is 60 feet, descending to either 
 end at the rate of i in 130. The contents of the 
 masonry is 3,000,000 of cubic feet. The weight of 
 iron in the tubes is 8,000 tons. The following are the 
 dimensions of the tubes through which the trains pass 
 in the middle span, viz. : 22 feet high, 16 feet 
 wide ; at the extreme ends, 19 feet high and 16 wide. 
 
 'J he total length from the river bank, is 10,284 ^^et, 
 or about 50 yards less than two English miles. 
 
 The Lachine canal is among the public works par- 
 ticularly worthy of note and of which the city may 
 well feel proud. The head of water on this canal has 
 been rendered available for the creation of water 
 power, which has been applied most successfully to 
 the movements of every extensive machinery over a 
 large extent of ground. Among the works here are 
 founders, engine and boiler works, ship yard and ma- 
 
Mathematical, Philosophical & Optical Instruments

 rine works, saw mills, sash, blind, and door factories, 
 flour mills, cotton mills, edge tool factories, &c., &c. 
 
 As a place of beauty and pleasure, the ride from the 
 city around Mount Royal will attract the traveller at 
 all times. The distance is nine miles, commanding 
 one of the finest views of beautiful landscape to be 
 found in North America ; and in returning, entering 
 the city a view of the St. Lawrence and of Montreal, 
 both comprehensive and extended, that well repays 
 time and expense. 
 
 Next to the drive around the mountain is that on 
 the Lachine road, leading to the village of that name, 
 nine miles from the city. The road is directly along 
 the banks of the river presenting scenery of unsur- 
 passed beauty and grandeur. It is a lovely drive. 
 If the proper hour is selected, a view may be had of 
 the descent of the steamer over the rapids. 
 
 Another favorite drive in the immediate vicinity is 
 to Longue Pointe, being in opposite direction from 
 the last, and down along the banks of the river. 
 
 It would be useless to undertake an enumeration 
 of all the places of interest in and about Montreal, 
 for we believe that there are but few places on the 
 American Continent where can be found so much of 
 interest to the traveller, whether in pursuit of health 
 or pleasure, as in this city.

 LAKE ST. PETER'S 
 
 is an expansion of the St. Lawrence, beginning about 
 five miles below Sorel, and extending in length twenty- 
 five miles ; its greatest breadth being nine miles. 
 There are several islands at its western extremity. 
 Port St. Francis is a small village, situated on the 
 south shore of Lake St. Peter's, eighty-two miles be- 
 low Montreal. It is a place of but little importance. 
 
 THREE RIVERS 
 
 is situated at the confluence of the rivers St. Maurice 
 and St. Lawrence, ninety miles below Montreal, and 
 the same distance above Quebec. It is one of the 
 oldest settled towns in Canada, having been founded 
 in 1618. It is well laid out, and contains many 
 good buildings, among which are the Court House, 
 the gaol, the Roman Catholic Church, the Ursuline 
 Convent, and the English and Wesleyan churches. 
 The population of Three Rivers is about 5500. 
 
 BATISCAN 
 
 is situated on the north shore of the river, one hundred 
 and seventeen miles below Montreal. It is the last 
 place at which the steamers stop before reaching 
 Quebec. It is a place of little importance.

 general scenery, until we approach the vicinity of 
 Quebec. The villages and hamlets are decidedly 
 French in character, and are generally made up of 
 small buildings, the better class of v/hich are painted 
 white or white-washed, with red roofs. Prominent in 
 the distance appear the tile-covered spires of the 
 Catholic churches, which are all construc^d in that 
 unique style of architecture so peculiar to that church. 
 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, half a mile wide and a 
 mile long, the sight is extremely picturesque ; and 
 when the voices of these hardy sons 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 a charming effect. Myriads of these rafts may 
 be seen lying in the coves at Quebec, ready to be 
 shipped to the different parts of the world. 
 
 CITY OF QUEBEC. 
 
 Quebec, by its historic fame and its unequalled 
 scenery, is no ordinary or commonplace city, for 
 though like other large communities it carries on 
 trade, commerce and manufactures ; cultivates arts 
 science and literature ; abounds in charities, and pro- 
 fesses special regard to the amenities of social life, 
 it claims particular attention as being a strikingly 
 unique old place, the stronghold of Canada, and, in 
 fact, the key of the Province. Viewed from any one 
 of its approaches, it impresses the stranger with the 
 conviction of strength and permanency. The reader 
 of American history on entering its gates, or wander-

 ing over its squares, ramparts and battle-fields, puts 
 himself at once in communion with the illustrious 
 dead. The achievements of daring mariners, the 
 labors of self-sacrificing missionaries of the cross, 
 and the conflicts of military heroes, who bled and 
 died in the assault and defence of its walls, are here 
 re-read with ten-fold interest. Then the lover of 
 nature in her grandest and most rugged, as in her 
 gentle and most smiling, forms, will find in and 
 around it, an affluence of sublime and beautiful objects. 
 The man of science, too, may be equally gratified, for 
 here the great forces of nature and her secret alchemy 
 may be studied with advantage. Quebec can never 
 be a tame or insipid place, and with moderate oppor- 
 tunities for advancement, it must become one of the 
 greatest cities of the new world in respect of learning, 
 arts, commerce and manufactures. 
 
 The city of Quebec was founded by Samuel Cham- 
 plain, 1608. In 1622 the population was reduced to 
 fifty souls. 
 
 In June, 1759, the English army under Gen. Wolfe 
 landed upon the Island of Orleans. On the 12th 
 September took place the celebrated battle of the 
 I lains of Abraham, which resulted in the death of 
 Wolfe, and the defeat of the French army. A force 
 of 5,000 English troops under Gen. Murray were left 
 to garrison the fort. 
 
 The city is very interesting to a stranger ; it is the 
 only walled city in Canada. 
 
 Cape Diamond, upon which the citadel stands, is 
 three hundred and forty-five feet in height, and derives 
 its name from the quantity of crystal mixed with the 
 granite below its surface. The fortress includes the 
 whole space on the cape. 
 
 Above the spot wliere General Montgomery was 
 killed, is now the inclined plane, running to the top 
 of the bank ; it is five hundred feet long, and is used 
 
Chains, Tapes, Ivory and Boxwood Scales,

 by the Government to convey stores and other articles 
 of great weight to the fortress. Strangers are allowed 
 to enter this fortress by procuring tickets from the 
 proper authorities. 
 
 A ride to the Plains of Abraham is one of the most 
 interesting visits about this celebrated city ; a rock is 
 there pointed out as the spot where General Wolfe 
 expired. There are four martellot towers, forty feet 
 in height, standing upon the plain, about half a mile 
 in advance of the other fortifications. 
 
 Seven miles below Quebec is the Fall of Montmo- 
 rency. The road is very pleasant, passing through 
 the French village of Beauport. Those who expect 
 to see a second Niagara will be very much disappoint- 
 ed. The stream descends in silvery threads, over a 
 precipice two hundred and forty feet in height, and, in 
 connection with the surrounding scenery, is extremely 
 picturesque and beautiful, but inspires none of the 
 awe felt at Niagara. 
 
 The French Catholic Church is a spacious stone 
 building, and the interior is decorated with some fine 
 paintings. Since the destruction of the convent at 
 Charlestown, Mass., Americans are not allowed 
 entrance to the Ursuline Convent. It is the more to 
 be regretted from the fact that the grave of Montcalm 
 is in their chapel. 
 
 Castle St. Louis, probably the first building in Que- 
 bec, the corner stone of which was laid by Champlain 
 on the 6th of May, 1624, was destroyed by fire on the 
 23d of January, 1834. By the orders of Lord Dorham, 
 the site of the castle was cleared of the ruins that co- 
 vered it, levelled and covered with wood, and an 
 iron railing placed on the edge of the precipice, 
 making a very delightful promenade. The view from 
 it rommands the lower town, the St. Lawrence as far 
 down as the Island of Orleans, the harbor with its

 ships, and Point Levi on the opposite side of the 
 river. 
 
 Point Levi, on the other side of the River opposite 
 Quebec, will interest the stranger very much ; im- 
 mense and stupendous fortifications being now in 
 progress of construction. 
 
 RIVER SAGUENAY. 
 
 To the pleasure seeker, or to the man of science, 
 there can be nothing more refreshing and delightful, 
 nothing affording more food for reflection or scientific 
 observation, than a trip to that most wonderful of 
 rivers, the Saguenay. 
 
 On the way thither, the scenery of the Lower St. 
 Lawrence is extraordinarily picturesque ; a broad ex- 
 panse of water interspersed with rugged solitary islets, 
 highly cultivated islands, and islands covered with 
 trees to the water's edge, hemmed in by lofty and 
 precipitous mountains on the one side, and by a con- 
 tinuous street of houses, relieved by beautifully situ- 
 ated vilages the spires of whose tin covered churches 
 glitter in the sunshine, affords a prospect so enchan- 
 ting, that were nothing else to be seen, the tourist 
 would be well repaid ; but when in addition to all this 
 the tourist suddenly passes from a landscape unsur- 
 passed for beauty into a region of primitive grandeur, 
 where art has done nothing and nature everything, 
 when at a single bound, civilization is left behind, and 
 natures stares him in the face, in naked majesty ; 
 when he sees Alps on Alps arise ; when he floats 
 over unfathomable depths, through a mountain gorge, 
 the sublime entirely overwhelms the sense of sight, 
 and fascinates imagination. 
 
 The change produced upon the thinking part of 
 man, in passing from the broad St. Lawrence into the 
 seemingly narrow and awfully deep Saguenay, whose 
 waters lave the sides of the towering mountains, which 
 
Sikes's Hydrometers corrected and adjusted 
 
 32 traveller's guide. 
 
 almost shut out the very light of heaven, is such as 
 no pen can paint nor tongue describe. 
 
 It is a river one should see if only to know what 
 dreadful aspects nature can assume in her wild moods, 
 compared to it, the dead sea is blooming, and the 
 wildest ravines look cosy and smiling ; it is wild and 
 graiii apparently in spite of itself 
 
 On either side rise cliffs varying in perpendicular 
 height from 1,200 to 1,600 feet, and this is the charac- 
 ter of the river Saguenay from its mouth to its source. 
 
 Ha-Ha Bay, which is 60 miles from its mouth, 
 affords the first landing and anchorage. The name 
 of this Bay is said to arise from the circumstances of 
 early navigators proceeding in sailing vessels up a 
 river of this kind for 60 miles, with eternal sameness 
 of feature, stern and high rocks on which they could 
 not land and no bottom for their anchors, at last broke 
 out into laughing, Ha-Ha, when they found landing 
 and anchorage. 
 
 This wonderful river seems one huge mountain 
 rent assunder, there can be little doubt, at some re- 
 mote age by some great convulsion of nature. 
 
 'i'he reader who goes to see it, and all ought to do 
 so who can, for it is one of the great natural wonders 
 of the continent, can add to the poetical filling up of 
 the picture from his own imagination. 
 
 This beautiful trip is easy and facile of accomplish- 
 ment, as new and magnificent boats rivaling in luxu- 
 riousness with any on our inland waters, run regularly 
 to Ha-Ha Bay, on board of which the pleasure seeker 
 will experience all that comfort and accommodation 
 which is necessary to the full enjoyment of such a 
 trip.
