The City of Montreal, the commercial metropolis of the Dominion of Canada, is l)uilt on an island of the same name, formed by the River Ottawa debouching into the River St. Lawrence, at its western and eastern extremities, the former near St. Ann's, 2 1 miles from Alontreal, the latter at Bout de ITsle. The island is of a triani^ular shape, and is about 30 miles long and 10 broad, situated in Latitude 45" 31' North, and Longitude 78' 35' West and 250 miles above salt water. Montreal was founded on the 8th of May, 1642, by Maisonneuve, 107 years after the visit of Jacques Cartier and his cl-ew in 1535. Jacques Cartier was the first European who visited the locality. On the arrival of Jacques Cartier there was an Indian village called Hochelaga on the site of the Montreal of to-day. The village was situated where the I'^nglish Cathedral at the, corner of University and St. Catherine Streets now stands. What is now known as Hochelaga was for many years a French town, t >vo miles east of Montreal, but is now joined to the City of Montreal. The first clearing for the city was made where th' custom house now stands. The city proper is about 4^^ miles long by 2 broad, and over 200 miles of streets and lanes. Montreal is 315 miles nearer to Liver[)ool than the city of New York, and one-third of the whole distance, by way of the St. Lawrence, is in comparatively smooth water. The distance from Montreal to Chicago by the St. Lawrence system is 185 miles less than the distance from New York to the same city. ^Iontreal is 334 miles from Boston, 400 miles from New York, 845 miles from Chicago, and 2,750 miles from Liverpool. British troops were stationed at Montreal till 1S70. The Barracks were situated where the C. P. R. Dalbousie Station now stands. The mf f/»oi*; WHCkANS CO .MOMTREAL i .'^t .•*.' "-.it." »R.

The following veiy interesting legend and prophecy wan at one time very common «mong>t the Moliawk Indians, though now hrrely remembered: — 1 I'Ong, long ago there was a great lake where the Island of feontreal now stands, and the Mohawks dwelt upon its borders and yere happy. Then bad people came and drove the Indians into tie water, killing many of them; and the Great Spii'it, when he saw tie Mohawks so badly treated, raised up a country for them out of lie lake, and stocked it with game and fruit and maize, and gave it t) the Mohawks ; but there was no mountain. Then the bad people (ime over to the Island and took possession of it, and drove the JLoliUwks away to the Isle of Josus, which they made their hunting i^round. Then when they stood on the shore one evening they saw jh great fire leap up on the Island, and there were dreadful peals of ^lumdor, and terrible flashes of lightning, and all the bad people jwere killed; and after a while, when the smoke had cleared away, ilhe Mohawks saw the Mountain,- and they went back and took ]ii)ssession of the island ; where they lived happily until attacked 1y the Algonquina and Wyandots. Then the white man came and drove all the Indians away. This is the Legend. There is also a ])ro]^hecy that one day the Mohawks shall see the fire break out in tlie .nountain again, and ihat the whole Island of Montreal will Nink, and the great lake again spread over the spot where the Island now stands. The legend and the jDrophecy are pretty, and ideological research may show some foundation for the upheaval.

Montreal surrended to the British forces under (lenerals Murray and Amherst on the 8th Sept., 1760, a year after the capture of Quebec. It was taken by the Americans on the 12th of November, 1775, and retaken by the British on the 15th of June, 1776. The English- speaking portion of the population were so disgusted with the Rebel- lion Losses Bill passed by the Liberals in 1847, that, when the (lov- ernor-Cleneral, Lord Elgin, entered the Parliament House (erected -where the St. Ann's Market now stands) on the 25th of April to give his assent to the measure, they gathered together from all quarters of the city and entering the Parliament House they drove out the mem- bers and set fire to the building. That was the last parliament held in Montreal. One of the strangest features of this unfortunate affair is that some of the rankest Tories of that time have joined themselves with the Liberals under Mr. Mercier since that time — Mr. Alfred J^erry is one. The population of Montreal proper ((lovernment census of 1891) was 216,650 cr 245,971 including St. Henry, St. Cunegonde, Cote St. Antoine and Mile End. This is over 25 per cent increase during the last decade. Over one half of the population are of French, one- fifth of Irish, one-seveuth of English and one-seventeenth of Scotch origin, (but the one-seventeenth of Scotch origin have as large a share in the enterprise and business of Montreal as any of the other nation- alities which form one-half, one-fifth, or one-seventh of the i)opulation) and as to religion, about two-thirds are Roman Catholics. The gen- eral good feeling existing between parties of different shades of opinion renders Montreal less subject to party disturbances than other cities of the same population. This rule, of course, like every other rule, had one or two exceptions ; but the following two instances show that the above rule has been very well followed. In the olden times, just after the Conquest, the Protestants used one of the Roman churches after the morning mass: For 20 years after 1766, the Church of Eng- land people occupied the Church of the Recollets every Sunday after- noon. The Presbyterians used the same church before 1792, and when the congregation moved to their first church in St. (iabriel Street, they presented to the i)riests of the Recollet Church a gift of candles for the high altar, and of wine for the mass, as a token of ^ood-will, and thanks for the gratuitous use of the church. The Bonsecours Church was very nigh being swept away, a few MONTKKAL FAST AND HKKSKN n. IT) nuH were on lerals Murray ire of Quebec.

The gen- is of opinion 1 other cities y other rule, :es show that en times, just lan churches jrch of Eng- Sunday after- e 1792, and St. (iabriel rch a gift of j a token of away, a few - years ago, to make room for a railway station, but some Protestants, actuated by a love of the piclurestjue, and out of regard for the mem- ory of the good Sister i)y whom it s^'as founded, made such a noise about it that the Bishop interfered to [)revent the sale. Louis Joseph Papineau who, with Wm. Lyon Mackenzie, took the lead in the troubles of 1H37-38, had his he ad-quarters in Montreal. It may be as well to remark here that these two men McKenzie and Pai)ine.au did more for the cause of freedom than any other two men that ever lived in Canada. Like many other good men they wi-re not sutticiently honoured till the were gone. On the 9th of June, ICS53, Father (lavazzi, a celebrated lecturer, formerly a famous Roman Catholic i)riest, lectured against the Church of Rome in Zion Congregational C'hurch (now the Herald Building), and a riot ensued, in which about 40 i)ersons were either killed or wounded. One of the most unfortunate events in the history of Montreal was the murder of Thomas Racket, an Orangeman, on the 12th of July, 1877, by a gang of Fenians, on Victoria S(|uare, near the (Queen's monument. Several of the bullet shot marks may yet be seen in the stone wall at 15 Victoria Sq., opj)osite the Queen's monument. The Bank of Montreal, the first bank in Canada, was opened in Montreal in 181 7. The second steamer built on the continent of America was built at Montreal, by Mr. John Molson, and was called the " Accommoda- tion." She made her first voyage in 36 hours, between Montreal and (Quebec, on the 3rd and 4th November, i8oc). From 1685 to 1801 Montreal was surrounded by 'a wall, extending along the site of Fortification Lane from Victoria Square to Dalhousie Scjuare, at the Canadian Pacific Railway Depot, From \^ictoria Square the walls extended down to the river, about the site of McCill Street. The city then was of a triangular shape, the small angle jjointing towards the east. At present the city is of a triangular shape, but the small angle points towards the west, it seemir to have been turned end for end. Montreal is less subjet to e[)idemics than many other cities of the same size, although the small-pox got a hold of it in 1855, on account of the vast majority of the French-Canadians being prejudiced against vaccination. The number of deaths was 3,164; of these, 2,887 were French-Canadians, 181 other Catholics, an 96 Protestants. IC) M(>ntri:al a\1) vicimiv.

Vou may depend on all the advertisers in this book to deal fairty with you if you wish to trade with them. There are no advertisements of mean or sharp [)eople in this book. While the publisher of this book does not deny that he wishes to make some money out of it, the first object he has in view is to give such information to the stranger or tourist as will be interesting and useful to him. As this is the only book of th's kind that ever reached six editions in five years in Montreal, the author believes he is accomplishing his object, and at the same time giving his patrons full value for their money. As this is an age of novelty, the author has adopted an original plan in putting the preface in the middle of his book. **• iT!t HOTELS f^or first-class hotels Montreal is second to no other city in America. The Windsor Hotel, Dominion Square, is the largest and grandest hotel, not only in .Montreal, but in the whole Dominion. It is on the finest site in the city, near the new C. P. R. and (1. T. R. depots. It is within a stone's throw of the principal churches in the city, and close to the famous Mount Roval Park. Mr. vSwett the manager is one of the most popular business men in Montreal. Everyone that knows him has a good word for Mr. Swett. Mr. Randolph assistant managtr is also very popular. The Classic Rotunda of the hotel is well worth a visit from all tourists passing through our beautiful city. In the evenings the Rotunda is always like a stock exchange where business men meet to talk business or hear the news, or make enquiries of Mr. McConniff about travelling arrangements, or to get the. latest edition of the New York or Toronto papers at the news-stand, which is MONTREAL AND VICINITY, 17 :il)mcn, you e places ot :h you will States silver it ; United (jr dollar is jntry tourist fo/it ; but 20 per cent ) deal fairty vertisements le wishes to w is to give teresting and ever reached ;lieves he is patrons full i author has niddle of his y in America, md grandest It is on the depots.

Strangers staying at the hotel and needing carriages should hire one at the office near the main door. INlr. Morey's; staff of drivers have no superiors. The St. Lawrence Hall is the oldest established first-class hotel at present existuig in Montreal. It is in the heart of the business centre of the city, adjoining the Oeneral Post Office, and has been so well known to the public for many years that it needs no recommendation. The St. James Hotel on St. James St. opposite (Irand Trunk station has been deservedly popular since the arrival of the new manager (1. 1). Fuchs. The other principal hotels in Montreal are the Balmoral Hotel, Riche- lieu Hotel, the Albion Hotel, on Mc(iill Street ; the Canada Hotel, St. (iabriel Street , the Jacques Cartier Hotel, Jaccjues Cartier Square ; the New York House, on Lagauchetiere St. CHURCHES. After the stranger has fixed on an hotel to stop in, the first point of attraction in Montreal is the churches. Montreal is noted for the number of churches it contains, as well as for the number of it* charitable institutions. There are at present 76 churches in Montreal, or one cimrch of every 2,800 people. Of these 20 are Roman Cath- olic, 18 Presbyterian, 14 Episcopal, i Reformed Episcopal, 12 Meth- odist, 3 Congregational, 4 Baptist, i Swedenborgian or New Jer- us'alem Church, i United Free Church, i Luther or German Protest- ant Church, i Unitarian, and 3 Jewish Synagogues. There are seven, Protestant churches in which the services are conducted in the French; language. Mark Twain remarked at the Windsor once, that he never saw so. many churches within a stone's throw of each other before. St. Peter Cathedral, properly speaking the Cathedral of St. James, (he being its patron saint), now in course of construction on Dominion Square, demands first attention. It is being built after the model of St. Peter's at Rome, of which, generally speaking, it is about half the dimensions. The foundation of it was laid in 1868. The dimensions of St. Peter's at Rome are: length, 615 feet; breadth, 286 feet; and height, 435 to the top of the dome. The following are the dimensions of St. Peter's of Montreal, copied from the figures on the plan of the cathedral, very kindly given to the compiler of this little book, by gentlemen in actual charge of the con 1^ MONTREAL AND VICINITY. struction. The exact height to the top of the cross is 258 feet, that is 240 feet to the top of the dome, and the cross being 18 feet high, makes the entire height 258 feet. The breadth of the cross is 12 feet. It weighs 1,500 lbs. The stone work is 132 feet high. Above this is the dome, 108 feet of wood work, with the cross, 18 feet high, fixed on the top. The extreme length of the building is 333 feet exterior and 295 feet interior. The greatest breadth is 222 feet exterior and 216 interior. The general l)readth is 150 feet. 'I'he general thick- ness of the wall is between three and four feet. The foundation wall is eight feet thick and eight feet deep below the surface. The circum- ference of the outside of the dome is 240 feet. The view of the city from the dome excells by far every other view in the city. The parish church of Notre Dame, erroneously called the French Cathedral, stands upon Place d'Armes, Notre Dame Street (the cold- est spot in Montreal at all seasons of the year). It is built after the model of Notre Dame (Our Lady) in Paris. It holds 10,000 people comfortably, and when crowded, as it often is, it has been known to hold 15,000 people. The length of the church is 255 feet, and the breadth 134 feet. The two principal towers are are 227 feet high. The Bourdon bell, the largest in America, weighs 24,780 lbs., and cost $25,000. It is 8 feet 7 inches in diameter, and 6 feet 9 inches high. It is 1 foot thick. The clappers weighs 860 lbs. Besides this enorm- ous bell there are to other bells, which, when rung as on great occasions, make very agreable chimes. It is stated that the entire church cost over $6,000,000. It is the largest ecclesiastical edifice in America, except the cathedral of Mexico. It has 19 double confession boxes, where 19 priests can hear 38 confessions at one time. It has two galleries, one above the other. The corner stone was laid in 1824 and the first mass performed in 1829. The church of Notre Dame de Lourdes, built in 1874, for the pur- pose of illustrating the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, is the most beautiful church in the city. The adoration of the A^irgin under this name dates from the nth February, 1858, when it is stated that the Blessed Virgin appeared to a young shepherdess fourteen years of age, named Bernadette Soubirous, at the Grotto of Massabielle, on the banks of the river (iave, near the town of Lourdes (Loord), in the diocese of Tarbes, on the Upper Pyrenees, in the south-west of France, 530 miles from Paris. It is stated that the Blessed Virgin appeared to this girl eighteen times, and told her that '' she was the Immaculate Conception," and sent a message by ht-r to the clergy if- .^3 % MONTllKAL AND VICINITY r.) 58 fs., and cost inches high, this enorm- at occasions, church cost in America, ssion l)Oxes, It has two n 1824 and for the pur- ption, is the irgin under stated that urteen years ssabielle, on )ord), in the )uth-west of cussed Virgin she was the D the clergy # to tell them to build a chapel for her on that rock. It is also further stated that she revealed a secret to her, which she told her not to make known. It is also further stated that water, with hea'ing qualities, gushed out of the rock at that time, and continued to flow •ever since. In the basement of Notre Dame de Lourdes, at Montreal, is a facsimile of the (irotto at Lourdes, which strangers interested in such things should not fail to visit. Lourdes, at present, is a well- known place of pilgrimage. Lourdes is noted for its excellent choco- late, and is in the neighborhood of the best mineral springs of the Pyrenees. — (Anna T. Sadliers, Wonders of Lourdes.) (N. H. — Is it the mineral ([ualities of the water on the religious nature of the place that •effects the cures ?) The church of Notre Dame de Bonsecours (Our Lady of Clood Heli)) is the oldest church in the city, being erected in 1771. There is a grand statu of the Virgin erected on this church with an elevator to go up to it. It was originally intended to erect this statu on Mount Royal, but the citizens were not unanimous about the choice so it was decided to erect it where there would be no opjiosition. Of the other Roman Catholic churches, the most interesting to touri.stes and others are; the Jesuits' Church, on Bleury Street; St. Patrick's Church, on St Alexander Street ; Notre Dame de Nazareth; and the church of St. James. PRC/FESTANT churc:hi:s. Christ Church Cathedral (Episcopal), on St. Catherine Street, is said to be the finest specimen of gothic architecture in North America. St. (ieorge's Church, and the Church of St. James the Apostle are the next in importance of the Episcopal Churches in point of architec- ture. St. George's (Low Church) has the largest Protestant ('ongre- gation in Montreal. The Methodists can now boast of having one of the grandest churches in Montreal in St. James Church, on St. 'Catherine Street. Of the Presbyterian churches. Crescent Street Church, St. Paul's Church, and the American Presbyterian Church receive the most attention for architecture. St. (iabriel Street Presbyterian Church is the oldest existing Protestant Church in Canada. It was erected in 1792.

VICTORLA BRIDGE. Victoria Bridge, the longest bridge in the world, at the time of its erection was considered the eighth wonder of the world. Its is rj^ jiiiles long between stone work and 2 miles long including stono work approaches. It is made of twenty-five tubes, supported by twenty- four piers, and two end abutments. The lower side of the centre tube is sixty feet above the summer level of the River St. Lawrence. It was erected in 1859 by James Hodges, from the designs of Robert Stephenson and Alexander M. Ross. It was formally opened by the Prince of Wales in i860. The height from the bed of the river to the top of the centre tube is 108 feet. The greatest depth of water during the summer season is about 22 feet, but in the spring the water sometimes rises over 20 feet above the summer level of the river. In the spring of 1886 the water rose 25 feet above the average summer level. The centre has an elevation of about 20 feet above the ends. The current at the bridge runs at the rate of seven miles an hour. The bridge cost ever $6,000,000. It belongs to the (irand Trunk Railway Company. Trains generally take from four and a half to five minutes to cross the bridge. It took five and one half years to build it. THE LACHINE CANAL is 8J<( miles long, and overcomes a total rise of 45 feet. It has five locks, 270 feet long and 45 feet wide. Vessels drawing twelve feet of water can pass through it. The width of the canal varies from 163 to 208 feet. The first ground was broken at Lachine on the 17th of July, 7821. WATER WORKS. — The water of the city is taken from the River St. Lawrence, about a mile above the Lachine Rapids, at a point 37 feet above the summer level of the harbor of Montreal.

Its remotest source is the St. Louis, a small stream falling into the upper end of Lake Superior. It is the fourteenth longest river in the world, and the fifth longest river in America. From (Juebec to Montreal, a short distance below (^)uel)ec to the (lulf of St. Lawrence, it varies from 10 to 35 miles in width. Half way between Montreal and (^)uebec it widens out into Lake St. Peter, which is 20 miles long and 9 wide. Jacques ("artier sailed for the first time on the < lulf of St. Lawrence on the (oth of August, 1535, and that being St. Lawrence Day, he named that body of water in honor of the saint, and the (lulf and River St. Lawrence have been known by that name ever since. At (Quebec the river rises 15 feet, but it ceases to be observed at the lower end of Lake St. Peter. The depth of the river is so great, that (Quebec was one of the few ports in America which the "Creat Eastern " was able to visit. PUBLIC P.UILDINdS. The principal public buildings are : — the (Jourt House, Bonsccours Market (should be visited on 'I'uesday or Frida>), the Custom House, the E.xamining Warehouse, the new City Hall, the Harbour Commis- sioners' Building, Inland Revenue Office, the office of the Board of Arts and Agriculture, and the Exhibition Buildings and (Irounds, Mile End. RAU^WAY STATIONS. Montreal has three of the best railway stations on the continent, all new. The (Irand 'Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railways, have Bonaventure and Windsor stations in the west end of the city, and the Canadian Pacific Railway has also Dalhousie Station in the east end for the (Quebec line. 'The (Irand 'Trunk Railway depot at Bona- venture, or St. James Street, and the Canadian Pacific Railway Station, on Windsor Street, should be visited by any one who has time. The order and discipline around Bonaventure Depot is very creditable to 1 I 24 MUNIKKAI, AND VICINirV Mr. O'Hara who sjures mo pains to have everything right and leave everybody satisfied. MENKVOLKNT INS'mT'riONS. Montreal is as remarkable for the number aiul variety of his philan- tro{)hie institutions as it is for the number of its churches, livery national society has its "home " for those of its own nationality. The St. (leorge's Society for Ijiglish, St. Andrew's for Scotch, St. Patrick's for the Catholic Irish, the Irish Menevolent Society for I'rotestant Irish, the (lerman Society for (lermans, and St. John the HajUist's for French-Canadians. The social organization of Montreal is so composite, that in order to work well, many institutions recjuire to be triplicate at best. Race and language divide the French from the I'Jiglish and Irish, and religion divides the I'Jiglish from the I'rench and Irish ; and the Irish, are subdivided l)y religion, so that they recjuire two separate national benevolent societies. The following are the principal institutions : — Protestant Insane Asylum, Verdun. The Montreal (lenerul Hospital, corner Dorchjster and St. Dom- inique, founded in 1822. Protestant House of Industry and Refuge, 680 Dorchester St. The McKay Institute, for Protestant Deaf Mutes, Cote St. Luc Road.

The school laws for Montreal are, in some respects, peculiar. An assessment of one-fifth of one per cent is levied annually upon all t?ie real estate in the city, collected by the City Treasurer with the other taxes, and handed over to the two city boards of Protestant and Catholic School Commissioners. The tax on the property of Protest- ants goes to the Protestant Board, and that on the property of Cath- olics to the Catholic Board. One-third of the tax on Companies, etc., goes to the Protestant Scnools, and two-thirds to the Catholic Schools. McClLL UNIVERSITY. The Honorable James McCiill was born in (llasgow, October 6, 1744, and died at Montreal, December 19, 1813. By his last will and testa- ment dated January 8, 1811, he devised that tract and parcel of land, commonly called Burnside, situated near the city of Montreal," and containing about forty-seven acres of land, with the Manor House and other buildings thereon erected, and also bequeathed "the sum of ten thousand pounds current money of the Province of Lower Canada " to the " Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning," to erect and ■ establish a University or College " for the purposes of education, and the advancement of learning in the Province with a competent nuiiiber of Professors and Teachers to render such establishment effectual and beneficial for the purposes intended : upon condition, also, that one of the Colleges to be comprised in the said University shall be named and perpetually be known and distinguished by the appellation of McGill College." At the date of the bequest the value of the above-mentioned was estim- ated at $120,000. i hough the charter of McGill University dates from the year 182 1, so that it is nominally seventy-two years old, its actual history as a teaching institution began somewhat later. Owing to pro- tracted litigation, the property bequeathed did not come into possession of the Board of Governors until 1829.

'I'he Montreal Medical Institute, which had been in existence for some years, was incorporated with it as the Faculty of Medecine, and shortly afterwards the Faculty of Arts was established i-with a Principal and three Professors. The infant institution met with several checks to its growth, and it was not until its charter was amended in 1852, that it began a career of rapid progress. Happily for the University Sir J. W. Dawson, a distinguished geologist and naturalist, • (born at Pictou, Nova Scotia, in October 1820) became its Principal in 1855, and to his unweared efforts on its behalf in all its different departments it mainly owes its remarkable success. Within the last few years its revenues have increased worderfully — its staff of teachers is very efficient — and the number of students prove the value of the varied instruction imparted. To the Faculties of Arts and Medi- ■ cine those of Law and Applied Science have been added, and all these are in a most thriving condition. The Donalda special course in Arts *kprovides for the education of women with studies, exemptions, and .honours similar to those for men. The (Governors, Principal and Fellows of McCiill College constitute • the Corporation of the University, and have the power of granting degrees in all the Arts and Faculties in McCiill College, and the affiliated • College of Morrin, Quebec, St. Francis, Richmond, and Stanstead, P. Q, 'I'here are four affiliated Theological Colleges, viz, the Congregational^ the Presbyterian, the Diocesan, and the Weslyan, all in Montreal. The McCiill Normal School provides the training requisite for teachers of pjlementary and Model Schools, and Academies. The affiliated schools in addition are the Boys' High School, and the (iirl High School, Montreal, the Trafalgar Institute for the education of women, etc., etc. Of the numerous noble endowments and benefactions contributed to the University by the millionaires and other rich men of the city, it would occupy many pages to give even a brief account. We need only mention the William Molson Hall, the Peter Redpath Museum, the William C. McDonald, Phisics Building, the Thomas Workman Depart- ment of Mechanical Engineering, the William C. McDonald, Engineer- ing Bnilding, the Library, etc., to show how generously large sums of money have been presented for University Buildings ; and we find that the same liberality has been displayed especially of late years in the Endowment of Chairs, Exhibitions, and Scholarships, medals and prizes,, as also in subscriptions to the general endowment, subscriptions for current expenses, for the Library, Museum, and Apparatus, and, in 28 MONTUKAL AND VICINITY. fact, for almost everything needed from time to time in all the faculties. Ladies and gentlemen vie with one another in assisting the University with money for any and every purpose that may be suggested by the venerable and universally respected Principal. No man in the world has ever laboured more constantly and disinterestedly than he for the permanent benefit of an educational institution. He has sacrificed not only income, but what is more important to him much time in the drudgery of the mere routine business of the College. As he has him- self said : " My connection with this University for the past thirty-eight years has been fraught with that happiness which results from the con- sciencious of effort in a worthy cause, and from association with such noble and self sacrificing men as have built up McCiili (.'oUege. But it has been filled with anxieties and cares, and with continuous and almost unremitting labour. I have been obliged to leave undone, or imper- fectly accomplished, many cherished schemes by which I hoped to benefit humanity, and leave foot prints on good of the sands of time." These pathetic words must conclude our imperfect sketch of McCiill University, and its benefactors. The Presbyterian College of Montreal is entirely devoted to the training of missionaries and ministers speaking English, French, and Cxaelic, in connection with the Presbyterian^ Church in Canada. The Montreal College and (irand Sem.inary, or the Seminary of St* Sulpice, on Sherbrooke Street West, has a large number of students and professors. There are two courses of study, one for the church and the other for a business course.

Huntingdon. — Huntingdon stands in more close relation to Montreal than .lijy other outside town in the Dominion. Montreal is particularly interested in the welfare of Huntingdon, and Huntingdon is particularly interested in the welfare of Montreal. When the Huntingdon people want anything that they have not got themselves, they don't go to Ottawa or Toronto (as others that might be mentioned) they come to Montreal. Huntingdon is a thriving little town, surrounded by a fine farm- ing country, and the centre of the chief settlement of the English-speaking peoplt; in south-western Quebec. The Huntingdon district (as it is MONTKKAr, AND VICINITY. M Montreal e streets, Cote St. formation 'ti/- on the sh to get may state n in this an (iuide ; of Prof, all hands. •:!V commonly called) is renouned for its cheese and C'lydesdale horses. Its thrifty farmers are ahvay the best customers of city merchants. Hunting- don village has two industries that do it credit. First, the well-known establishment of Daniel Hoyd \: Co., where all kinds of agricultural implements are manufactured, such as plows, harrows, reapers, and mowing machines, hay-presses and other articles too numerous to mention in a : hort notice of this kind. Second, the only organ factory in the province, and the instruments of (leo. \\\ Cornwall \' Co. are known far and near, for their fine tone and moderate price. Boyd ct (!o. are the only manufacturers of the I )ederick hay-pres.ses in this section and do a large trade in them. Huntingdon has two railways, the (Irand Trunk and the St. Lawrence c\: Adirondack, with 14 trains daily. Its excellent facilities of communication have increased the attendance at its celebrated academy, which at the last AA examination obtained first place both for competitors over and under 18 years of age. The local newspaper is the well-known Cdeaner. The Huntingdon annual Exhibi- tion is always a success. Lachine. — Nine miles from Montreal, is one of the favorite summer resorts in the neighbourhood of Montreal. It is the principal boating place in the vicinity of Montreal. There are regattas on the lake op- posite the tcwn annually. At Lachine the boats shooting the Rapids always connect with the Montreal trains, morning and evening, during summer for the excursionists who come to shoot the Rapids, many of whom come a long distance on purpose. Shooting the Lachine Rapids of late years is someting like going to see Niagara Falls. The population is about 5,000. L.\PRAiRiE. — A village on the south side of River St. Lawrence, 9 miles south-west of Montreal. Population about 2,000. During the summer season the ferry boat makes three trips a day to Montreal and hack. The first railway in British North America was constructed from here to St. John, in 1836. It was discontinued and the rails taken u{) a few years after. The best hotel is the Montreal House kept by Mr, Robert. LoNGUEUiL. — On the south side of the St. Lawrence, opposite Hochelaga.

MoNKi,.\Ni)S, formerly the residence of the governors of Canada, now- occupied by nuns who call it Villa Maria, is located here. The convent was nearly destroyed by tire this summer. Fortunarely there were no lives lost ; but the financial loss of the sisters was very heavy and only jjartially covered by insurance. St. Hknrv is an incorporated town with a population of about 10,000. It is about 3 miles west of Montreal. Vf.rdux, formerly called Lower Lachine road, is about 5 miles west of Montreal on the banks of the St. Lawrence. The new Protestant Insane Asylum is built here.

This Book gives a true picture of French Canadian Life and character during tlie period immediately before and after the " C'onquest" of 1760. The story covers different phases of life. The young seigneur makes a life long friendship at college with a young Highland Scotchman, w^'^se father was desinherited after the Battle of CuUoden. The High- laiiCi Scotchman is Cameron of Lothiel. The French Canadian generally has a warm spot in his heart for the Scotchman especially the Highlander The Highlander, never joins the Anglo-Saxon in his crusade against the French language. The Anglo-Saxon often mixes race, language and religion together and fights them altogether. The Highlander knows better and discusses religion independent of race and language. Among the interesting featin-es of the book are accounts of conflicts between love and race prejudice following the " Conquest," some of the charac- teristics of the Indian revenge and gratitude, the conflict in the mind of a brave soldier between gratitude to friends in need and his duty to obey his superior ofiftce when ordered to burn the property of his friends, etc. PRICE 50cts., $1.00, - .

Ottawa was first kno n by the name of Hyton after Colonel By of the Royal Engineers who arrived there in 1826, for the purpose of carrying out the plan of construction of the Rideau Canal. Up to 1826, the present site of Ottawa was almost an entire wiUlernes. The first part of Ottawa that was settled was the present Rideau and Sussex Sts. The site of the Parliament lUiildings, was formerly called Barrack's Hill, the (lovernment having built l)arracks there for the regulars. 'i'he population of Ottawa in 1857 was 7,700. It is now over 40,000. The ground was broken for the present Parliament Buildings on 22nd December, 1859. The corner stone was laid by the Prince of Wales on the ist Sept 1 860. The lover of nature and art who has a little time to spare may spend a very profitable day round the Parliament Buildings and grounds. Xo ontj should neglect to visit the main tower and examine the large clock. Any one interested in literature need not be told to visit the librar)- of parliament. Here the leading Canadian newspai)ers from the Atlantic to the Pacific, may he seen on file. At the rear of the Parlia- ment Buildings may be seen a fine specimen of the wonders of the Canadian forest, in the shape of a sample block cut from the trunk of a tree on which the following inscription is written. — Sample of British Columbia V\r Tree shown at Paris and Philadelphia Exhibitions. The I )ouglas Fir Tree 8 ft. in diameter and over 300 ft. high, age 566 years. It was 183 years old when Columbus discovered America. The age may be verified by counting the rings. The Museum of the Ceological Survey of Canada on Sussex St., should be visited us well as the Canadian l-'ishery Exhibit, at the corner of (^)ueen and O'Connor sts. Ottawa is very properly called the City of laws and saws. There is more lumber handled round Ottawa in the course of a year than on the same extent of ground any where in Canada. The view from Parliament Hill Ottawa is about as fine as the view from Mount Royal in Montreal, In days of yore this district was wild by nature and it was made more than wild by the fierce struggles of the various Indian tribes, who often encountered each other with their furs coming from the far north and west, Happily these days are over. The first settlement made in this neighbourhood was made in what is 94 O'l'IAWA. m now called they City of Hull : riii-lemon Wright of \Vol)urn Massa- chusets having led a colony of pioneers hither in 1800. Truly the first has become last since that day. Hull has the reputation of being the the most bigoted catholic district in the Province of (^)uebec. 'J'hey would be liable to mob a news agent in Hull who would sell any news- l)aper that would say any thing uncom[)limentary to the Pope. All this notwithstanding the fact that it is Protestant brain and enterprise that gives them work. There are many fine buildings in Ottawa devoted to trade and commerce. The principal business street is Sparks sreet, Klectric street, cars run like lightnings in all directions. The population of Ottawa are more than two thirds Protestant. A large i)ortion of the population of Ottawa are one way or othei con- dected with the civil service and as a consequence, Ottawa can boast of a larger percentage of fairly well educated people than any other city in the Dominion- Ottawa has three daily newsjxapers. — 'Vht Journa Free Pres and Citizen. 'K\\^ Journal is independent. Mr. Ross a well known old Montreal journalist is editor and proprietor. The Free Press is the liberal organ. The Citizen is one of the organs of Sir John Thompson. If Sir John Thomjjson says the moon is made of green cheese the "Citizen " will say " Amen."' Take it all through Ottawa is a very interesting place. It is a capital place to spend a few days' holidays. The author takes in either Ottawa or Huntingdon when he feels like taking a holiday. The Ottawa Exhibition is always a success. Ottawa is 120 miles from Montreal and the trip may be made in about 3^/^ hours by the Canada Atlantic which runs 15 trains daily. .^ i^ublished Monthl}' during every Session, six months, from November to April inclusive.
