The upper floor is for railroH.l tniffie exclusively. Aerons tliis bridge, the trains of the Great Western Railroad of Canada and the various railroads of New York State, travel, each train drawn very slowly, by a light pilot engine. From a report, by Mr. Roebling, Engineer, on this gigantic structure, we copy the fol- lowing particulars:— " The base and towers on the New York side, contain 1360 cubic yards, which weigh about .S,n(Xi tons. Add to this weiurht of the superstructure of 1,000 tons, and we have a total of 4,0(M1 tons, in a comi>act and solid mass. " There are 4 cables of 10 inches diameter, each composed of 8640 wires of small No. 9 6 m t a o :h spans the Niagara, to tower, is 821 feet 4 >\vrv floor or rood-wny inry rouJ. The upper 9 of the Great Western »vel, each train drawn ture, we copy the fol- ic yards, which weigh ) tons, and we have a NIAGARA SL-SPKXSION BIUIiGE. gauge, 60 wire* foinilng ..no squnr.' iiieli of solid section; niuliiiig llie solid section of each cable 60.4(1 eqiiare inches, wrapping not included. " Each of the four large .aides i» e..ni|Hwd of Keven smaller ones, which I call WniiiA. Each stran.l contidns 6->u wires. One of these forms the centre, the sixothetn are placed around it^the 62o wires forming one strand of endlcis wire, ol.lained l.y splicing a nnin- hi r of single wires. The ends of the strands arc passed around and confined in cust iron shoes, which also receive the wrought-iron pin that forms a connection with the anchor chains. '• The wire measures 18.31 feet per pound, and the strength, therefore, is equivalent to lt)40 lbs. per single wire, or nearly Um),<«)0 |).)unds per square inch. " Assuming the aiwve average strength, the aggregate strenirtli of the 14,6t)0 wires cm- posing the four cables, will be 28,878,4«X) poundl. But their actual strength is ureater, because the above calculations are based upon a mini»,iiiH strength of the individual wires. We may assume their aggregate ultimate strength nt 12.0o(i tons, of 2.iiii(j pounds each. " Both enils of the bridge rest upon the ciitfs, and are nnchond to the r.xk. .\s far as supported by the cables, I estimate its r Tht ot less than 10(H) tons, which includes the w.ight of cables between the towers, nil a pressure i>f the river stay* b.-low. "There are (124 suspenders, each capable of sustaining thirty tons, which makes their united strength 18,720 tons. The ordinary weight they have to 8up|)ort is i)nly Kkmi tons. A locomotive of thirty-four tons weight, including tender, spreads its wel-lit. by means of the girders and trusses, over a lenglli of no less than 2iH> feet. Of courst- liie greatest pressure is under the engine, and is there supported by no less than twenty suspenders. If, by any accident, a sudden blow or jar should be produoed, the strength of the suspenders will he abundant to meet it. " A chan^'o of temperature of 100° causes a difference in the level of the floor of two feet three inches. The lower fl.H.r, or river stays have enough of slack, or deflection, to adjust tlieniselves under these changes. The only difference will be, that they are tighter in winter than in summer; consequently, that the equilibrium of the bridge will be less ulVccted by passing trains in cold weather than in warm. '• Droves of cattle are, according to the regulalioifs, to be divided off into trooi)»of 20, no mnre than three such bodies, or 60 in all, to be allot/ed on the bridge at one time. Each troop is to be led by one person, who is to clieck their progress in case tliey should start off on a trot. '• In my opinion, a heavy ti.iin, running at a speed of 20 miles an hour, does less injury to the structure, than is caused by 20 heavy cattle under a full trot. Public processions, marcliing to the sound of music, or bodies of soldiers keeping regular step, will produce u slill more injurious effect." The charge for passing over tlie bridge, on foot, is 26 cents— going and returning. Car- riaa;e $1.00, with 2(5 cents for each passenger inside. The promenade, during u hot day, on the foot-path of the bridge, is deliciously cool, from the breeze which generally blows up or down the gorge of the river. The views looking towards the Falls, from different points on the bridge, are also exceedingly good, presenting to the stranger the picture of Niagara Falls, as they are represented in many engravings which are given of them, and even die best of them, afler all, only can give a very faint idea of the great reality. Suspension Bridge is the station where all the emigrant trains 1>ound for the western states stay over— generally for some hours. Kefreshment rooms to suit all classes are to be met with both inside and outside of tlie railroad station.

The pen, the pencil, and photO(;ruphy, Imve nil been laid nnder contribu- tion, for the purpose of describing and illnstrat- inj; the niijjhty cataract. The powers of word- painting have been wielded by the literateur, the preacher, und the poet, to furnish ^-litable representations of the "world's ivoiider." Fu- tility and failure have been written u])on every attempt. The thunder of waters is inexpressi- ble by human language; but yet, to be admired it needs only to be seen; and the deep impres- sion that is stumped upon the mind of every spectator that stands before the stupendous scene of Niagara, will never Ik! erased from the tablets of memory. Who shall ever forget that moment wlicit lit: leapt froin tlie Cars, bounded, with all the inipotience of o curiosity cherished from earliest infancy, down the declivity, and the ■ubiime scene burst upon his astonished vision? The eye wandered up and down "the Rapids," rushing, for n mile above the Fulls, in tumultu- ous nuidness, fretting and eddying, wliirling and twirling, rumbling and tumbling, pell-mell, iu precipitate confusion ; fell then upon the pure, pellucid waters, that soothed themselves into a solemn sweep as they moved, with the nuijesty of irresistible might over the lofty precipice, with the deafening rour of gratulation at their safe descent ; and last, not least, upon the beau- teous bow that capped and crowned the glowing scene resplendent with nuignificence und re- dolent of transcendent sublimity. But insteud of straining the capabilities of langunge, by heaping metaphor on metaphor, in u listless endeavour to describe the inde- scribable, let us act as cieenme to the tourist, and leave hiiu to drink inspiration from the voice of the living waters themselves. Wo may here notice that the Falls are formed by the United waters of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, und Lake Erie, which all meet in the River Niagara, at the eastern ex- tremity of Lake Erie, from which it pursues its 8 GARA.

Near the hcnd nf the Inland the point may be seen where —before any bria^es connected the iHJand with tlie maiiilanil— Stedmau, the occupier of llie Island, trosHcd with his goats for pasture, hence the nunie Goat Island. Fort .Schlosser may be seen further up the river, also on the American side, where La Salle, the (jrciil explorer, first founded a trading post. This (ort has changed hands, Hrst from the French to the British, and next from the Ilrilish to the Americans. About this spot the vessel, (named the Griffin,) which first navigated the river and hikes, was built A Father Ilunnepin is said to have been the first white man who visited Niagara and saw the Falls, and who, like many who have succeeded him, published a very exaggerated account of them. In wandering round Goat Island you have now reached the starting-point on it, viz., the Bridge at the Iiuj)i(ls, wliich you re-cross, nnd ■ make direct for I'oint View. Point Vibw is situated close to the edge of the American Fall, and on the very brink of the precipice. From this point you get un excellent view of both Falls, but more partic- ularly a distant view of the Horse-Shoe Fall. In the ferry-house at I'oint View there is a railway, down an incline of 1 in 31 feet. The cars are worked up and down by water power, and arc completely under the control of those in charge. The fare for going up or down is 6 cents. At the bottom of the incline is the tiver, where boats may be hired to take you across to the Canada side of the river for 20 cents. Alongside of the railway incline, there arc steps, up and down which parties may go free. The depth, to the edge of the woter, is 260 feet — 2S11 steps in all. In the summer season a small steamer, called the " New Maid of the Mist," sails from the foot of the ferry stairs, up as near as (lossible to the base of the Horse-Shoe Fall. On proceeding on board you put on an oil-nkin cloak and hood, which envelopes the whole person, excepting the face; and, thus chid, you stand on deck, viewing the Falls, as the steamer makes her speedy trip, and as she rocks about amid the agitated water. Certainly the view is excellent, unless when the sun is shining out very strong, then much of the sight is lost, owing to that and the spray from the Falls falling so thickly upon the face and eyes. The sail is one only of a few minutes, nevertheless we recommend all to take u trip on board the little craft. Great vigilance and care is necessary in steering round the base of the Fall.

Before reaching there, however, you will pass Table Bock— a view from oil" which will interest you. Tablb Rock, of which we give an illustration, is situated on the Canada side of tlic rivor, near the angle where the Horse-Shoe Full jxjiirs over. It is a crag, which inojecis over the edge of ihe precipice, and is about l«o feet above llie river. I! is now much smaller than ii. former year.t large portions having fallen awny Iroin it at dif- ferent times. Near Tuble Rock there is another staircase, which you may descend and get a view from behind the great shoot of wulvr which falls over the Ilor»e Shoe, from olf a nairow ledge of rock, called Termination Rook,* wliicli, together with the ground ull about it, slmkos with the immense power of the water pouring down upon it. It is only, however, when the water is not very full, that this sight can be seen. A favourite flme with mony for visiting the falls is at sunset, about which time some nio.st beautiful phenomena are to be soon. Again, tlio view by moonlight is considered to be very line, and presenting totally difierent foulures from any thing to be seen during the day.

The wotcr, which is charged with sulphurated hydrogen gas, rises in the rock close at band, and forces its way up througli the bed of the stream, which is there. Sometimes it burns much brighter than at other times, the water emitting a strong smell, similar to that of some mineral springs When at Burning Spring*, another and dill'erent view from any hitherto seen, is presented of the River Niagara, as it conies down from Lake Krie, and, in sum- mer, the scenery in the neighbourhood of the Springs is. beautiful in the extreme. ^.eaving the Burning Springs, you may now pi-oceed to the battle-ground of Lundy's Lane learn that the American, who preceded or fol- lovved you on your visit, was parted company with on the same terms, and with an equally tluttering account of bow the Americans licked the British, and, of course, also won the battle! On the way to Lundy's Lane, you may pass through the pretty little village of Drunimond- ville, named after General Dnimmond, com- mander of the British forces at the bottle refers red to. From Lundy's Lane you may now proceed on to the Suspension Bridge and the Whirlpool. Particulars respecting the Suspen- sion Bridge will be found annexed, with illus- trations of it. TiiK Whirlpool can be seen from the Canada side of tho river. When at the Suspension There a wooden tower is erected, for the beuetit Bridge you proceed along the top of the em of those who wish to ascend and obtain u mag- baukment, through fields and brushwood, fol nificent view of the country.

We a,,pend brief notices of the most noted of these places. CANADIAN SIDE. In proceeding along the north, or Cana- dian, side of the lake, the first point touched is 21 AUEBICAV srni;. The first stopping-place on the Ameri- can, or south, side of the Lake is YouNosToWN, 6 miles below, and 1 mile KOUTE DOWN THE ST. LAWHENCE. Toronto, the second most itnportaiit city in Cnnntln. Tlii.< city presents a much finer appearance from the lake than when approached by railway. Toronto boasts of a large number of fine buildings and elegant churches, as well as of extensive and tasteful blocks of business stores; and the beauty of their appearance is much enhanced by the lai ,a number of trees, and the quantity of shrubbery that adorns many of its streets. King street, its prin- cipal thoroughfare, is two miles long, and is lined on both sides with handsome stores and public buildings. Leaving Toronto, tlie first town of any particular not>, on the Canadion side, is Port AVhitby., 29 miles below. This is the chief town in Ontario County, and contains near 4,000 inhabitants. It is a station on the Grand Trunk Railway, and is a stopping.place for steamers from Tor- onto to Rochester, etc. OsiiAWA, 4 miles below, is a fine town of 3,000 inhabitants, on the Grand Trunk Railroad, and communicating with the in- terior towns by lines of stages. A great qnnntity of fiour is shipped from here. BowMANviLLE, 10 miles below, lies a little back of the lake, to which it is con- nected by Darlington Harbour. In 1850, the place was incorporated a village, since which period its growth has been very rapid. The town has excellent water power within and around it The country around is unsurpassed for fertility and salubrity by any in Canada. It has a population of about 6,000. Port Hope is about 20 miles below Bowmanville, and, like it, is a station on the Grand Trunk Railroad. It is also con- nected by roilway with Lindsay, 40 miles, and with Peterborough, 29 miles distant. Steamers also ply between this place and several towns lying north, on Lake Stur- geon. Port Hope is built on an acclivity, the summit of which is capped with beach and pine, and clothed with villas, embow- ered among the trees. The principal street runs from the horbour to the top of the hill, and is lined with elegant stores, beautiful dwellings and commodious ho- — ^' '•*" 'iHii tttni aioncrcai Bank form prominent objects to a spectator placed upon the quay. And the graceful Hi H OQ » H P^ O h) W o n above, old Fort Niagara, at the mouth of the river, and which possesses a fine na- tural harbour, open at all seasons of the year. The river is hero about half a mile in width, across which a ferry plies to the village of Niagara, on the Canadian side. Fort Nuoara.— In passing into the lake, this old relic of former times is especially noticeable. As early as le^g, this spot was inclosed by La Salle, the explorer of the Mississippi. In 1725, a pallisade fort was constructed by the French. In 1759, it was taken by the British, who, in 1796' gave it into the hands of the Americans. In 1813, it was taken again by tlie British, and recaptured by the Americans in 1816. There is no doiibt that the dungeons of t'ns old fort have been the scenes of horciM -. suffering and of crime, from the times of the old Indian and French wai-s, np to the days of the Revolution. In its close and impregnable dungeons, the light of day never shone; and here, doubtless, many a poor prisoner has been compelled to un- dergo the "tort\ire," in addition to his other nameless sufferings. As, after entering the lake, no place of much importance is reached for some hours, the tourist should embrace this opportunity of getting a good view of the scenes he is about leaving. On a clear day, a fine view is presented of Brock's Monument, and the grand heights of Queenstown, 9 or 10 miles distant, which rise nearly 500 feet above the waters of the lake. After passing several small settlements, we reach CiiAnioTTE, or Port Genesee, at the mouth of the River Genesee, port of entry for Rochester, 7 miles distant, and 87 miles from Niagara. This town possesses a safe harbour, being protected by two long piers, on one of which is located a light- house. A number of steamers run daily from here to several of the principal places on both sides of the lake. The Falls of Genesee.— These beautiful falls, second only to Niagara, are objects worthy of notice. The banks of the Gene- see, just above Charlotte, rise from 60 to 150 feet in heiglit Tlie river is naviga- ble as far as Carthage, which may be called a suburb of Rochester.

From this curve of the viaduct, resting on piers of solid masonry, over which the Grand Trunk Uiiilway is carried, tends to enhance the jncturesqueness of the view. The town is surrounded by a rich agricultural district, diversified by hill and dale, wood and stream; the evidence of which is the number of wagons — ci'animed with quar- ters of fat beef, mutton and pork, turkeys, chickens, eggs, butter, vegetables and fish — to be seen crowding the Town Hall Square on Saturdays. The lumber trade carried on at this port is also very extensive. Population about 8,000. CoBURo, 8 miles below Port Hope, is the terminus of the Coburg and I'cterboroiigh Railroad. It has a good harbour, and does an extensive shipping business with Rochester, and other cities on the opposite side of the lake. Victoria College, estab- lished by act of the Provincial Legislature, in 1842, is in this town. It also contains the most extensive cloth manufactories in the Province. There are also iron, marble and leather manufactories, with a number of breweries and distilleries, 9 good hotels, and 60 or 70 substantial stores. Popula- tion about 6,000. CoLBOKKE, 11 miles below Coburg, is a flourishing town, having a fine buck coun- try, whose produce finds quick sales in its markets. It has a good landing for Bleaniers, many of wliich touch here on their passages up and down t,he hike. A good business is done in this town in curing white-fish and salmon-trout, which abound in the lake, and ore taken in great quantities. A stnge-route is established between this place and Norwood, 32 miles distance. Fare, $2. Leaving Colborne, the steamer soon readies tlie widest part of the lake, and, running a distance of some 25 miles, jiasses Nkholax Point and Mand, Wicked J'oint, and Point Peter, on the latter of which is a fine li'»ht-house. This light is a conspicuous object to mariners, wlio, when off Prince Edward's, the mnin-land, experience the full force of easterly and westerly winds. DLck IsLANo, wiiieli is attached to Can- ada, is another noted object for the mari- ner, .either ascending or descending the 2-3 place, to Rochester proper, there are a suc- cession of falls and rapids, some of the former being -cry grand and iinpo8ing_ The falls at Carthage are 75 feet, one a little further up is 20 feet, and the grcot falls— within the city, a few feet from the Central Railroad Bridge— is 96 feet. It was at these latter falls that the once fa- mous Sam Patch made his last leap, by which he lost his life. He commenced his singular career by plunging from the Puw- tucket Falls, in Rhode Islond, ond after- wards continued to jump from all the liigh bridges, and other elevated points in the country, including Niagara, without meet- ing an accident. It is supposed that be was intoxicated at tlie time he made liis last jump, and hence lost his balance dur- ing his descent, and struck the water hori- zontally, which must have knocked the breath entirely out of his body, as he was not seen to rise after striking the woter, although 1 0,000 spectators were anxiously looking for his appearance. His dead body was found some miles below the falls. Further up the river, near the town of Portage, N. Y., there are three beautifui falls, respectively, 00, 90 and 110 feet, all within the space of 2 miles, each differing in elinracter, and each having peculiar attractions. But more wonderful, thou the falls, are the stupendous walls of the river, which rise almost perpendicularly, to a height of 400 feet, and extend along the stream, for 3 miles, witli almost as much regularity and symmetry as if constructed by art. Leaving (he mouth of the Geneaee, the steamer passes the small town of Pultney- ville, and some other lesser settlements, and reaches the mouth of Great Sodus Bay, which is 5 miles long and 3 miles in breadth, and makes an ex- cellent, safe harbour, the entrance of which is protected by substantial piers, built by the United States. Souiis Point is a small town, and port of entry, situated at the mouth of Sodus Bay. Y^i Little Sodub Bay, 14 miles below Great Sodus, is another good anchorage ground, for vessels to ride, in times of severe weother. Oswego is on both Bides of Oswego liOVTE DOWN THK ST. LAWltEXCK.

In former years, immense qunntities of wild ducks gathered upon this island, and hence its miine. A.MiiKiuiT IsLA.ND, qIso belonging to Can- ada, lies a little further on. It is a large body of ve!'y fertile land, whieh is under a good state of cultivation. Beyond this island, we come to the end of the lake, and soon enter the mouth of the St. Law- rence River. We now pass two islands Gage and IFb//— which are the first of that astonishing group known as the " Thousand Islands." We next come to Ki.NGSTo.v, which is probably the finest- looking city in Canada, although not do- ing a business equal to Montreal or To- ronto. A tourist, speaking of this city, says: " The view of the city and surrounding ecenery is not surpassed by the a]i[)roaches to any other city in America. A few miles above Kingston, the waters of Lake Onta- rio are divided by the first of the long se- ries of islands so well known to tourists as the ' Thousand Islands,' of which Sim- coe and Grand, or Wolfe Islands, opposite the city, may be looked upon as strong- holds designed by nature to withstand the encroaches of the waves of Ontario. On approaching from the west, by water, the first object that attract? the traveller's at- tention is Fort Henry, with the naval sta- tion of Fort F-ederiek at its base, and its attendant battlements, fortifications, tow- ers and redoubts." Fort IIkxky is a favourite resort for vis- itors, and its elevated (losition atfords the best view that can be had of the city, lake and surrounding country. The principal public buildings are the City Hall, Courtllouse, Roman Catholic Cathedral, Queen's College, Roman Catho- lic College, (Jeneral Hospital, Penitentia- ry, 10 or 18 fine churches, banking- houses, etc. The City Hall is one of the finest edifices in Canada, built of cut lime- stone, at an expense of near 8100,000. It has a spacious hall, holding over 1,000 persons. There are 20 steamers, and about 50 sailing vessels, owned here; and these, besides other Canadian and American craft, are mostly occupied in O O 12! 24 River, at its entrance into Lake Ontario and is the largest and most active city oii the lake. There are from 15 to i» flour, ing-nrills, making over lo.oiio barrels of flour per di.y when in operation, and about a dozen elevators, with storage- room for 2,00(»,000 Inishels of grain. It is handsomely built, with streets lou feet wide, crossing cacJi other at right angles. The river divides the city into nearly two equal parts, which are connected by two bridges, above ship navigation. The number of vessels which arrive and depart from this port is very large. It is estimated that one-half of the entire trade of Canada with the United States is car- ried on with Oswego. A railroad, 36 miles in length, connects Oswego with Syracuse. The Oswogo Canal also con- nects at Syracuse witli the Erie Canal. Oswego ranks as one of the greatest grain markets in the world, being second on this continent only to Chicago. From her pcv silion, she must continue to hold her ad- vantage, and, in spite of all rivalry, will always command the greatest portion of Canadian trade. The population of Os- wego is about 20,000. Leaving Oswego, we pass Mexico Bay, into which empties Salmon River, at the mouth of which is a small town, called Port Ontario. Salmon Rioer Falls are classed among the greatest natural curiosities of the country. The current of the river is disturbed, about 6 miles from its mouth, by 2 miles of rapids, which terminate in a fall of loV feet. At high water, the sheet is 250 feet in width, but, at low water, is narrowed to about half that extent. At the foot of the falls the water is very deep, and abounds in fine fish, such as salmon, trout and bass. Sackett's Harbour, 45 miles north of Oswego, possesses one of the most secure harbours on the lake. During the war of 1812, with England, it was used as the rendezvous of the American fleet on Lake Ontario. A large war- vessel, comnienoed at that time, still remains here under cover. Madison Barracks, garrisoned by United States troops, is situated ne«r the landing. Black Rivkr, juat beyond, is 120 milos long, but its navigation is much impeded by a succession of rapids and falls. It ROUTE DOWN THE ST. LAWRENCE.

One of these, situated near the Penitentiary, la said to resemble the celebrated Chelten- ham Springs, in England. Another, whose waters are unusually strong, and, by ana- lyzation, have been found to contain val- uable medical virtues, has been likened to the Artesian Well at St. Catherine's. gives, however, great water power, and its banks are covered with prosperous towns and villages. CitAiMONT Bay, just above Black River, abounds in a variety of fine fish, large quantities of which are taken by estab- lished fisheries. Cape St. ViNrEXT ia nearly opposite Grand or Wolf Island, and is the northern terminus of the Watertown and Rome Railroad. In the warm months, this place is much resorted to by fisliing and pleasure parties, being contiguous to the "Thou- sand Islands." THE THOUSAND ISLANDS. TuESB Islands, which have obtained a world-wide celebrity, consist of fully 1800 islands, of all sizes and shapes— from a few yards long, to several miles in length ; some, presenting little or nothing but bare masses of rock, whilst others are so thickly wooded over, that nothing but the most gorgeous green foliage (in summer) is to be seen ; whilst, in autumn, the leaves present colours of ditferent hues of light crimson, yellow, purple and other colours scarcely imaginable, and yet more difticult to describe. The tourist who is fond of practising the " gentle art," will find any quantity he is able and willing to fish for— the river abounding in fish of the most marvellous quantity and size. The angler will find plenty of excellent accommodation at Clayton or Alexandria Bay, with boats, etc. To enjoy a day or two amongst the Thousand Islands to the most advantage, is for the tourist to take up his quarters for a few days at either of these places, and sail amongi^t the islands with a row-boat. The tourist who is ocquaintcd with the islands on " Lomond's Silver Loch," opposite Luss, in the Highlands of Scotland, will have some idea of what the Thousand Islands are — only that the latter extend fully 50 milts along the channel of the St. Lawrence, with some of the islands of much larger dimen- sions than those either on Loch Lomond or Loch Katrine. Names are given to some of the islands, whilst several have light-houses erected upon them. With these remarks, we will now proceed, as if on board the American steamer, down Ihe American channel, through them— there being one channel for the Canadian Company's boats, and another for the American Company's, Leaving Kinj, ton, the tomist in the Ca- nadian Company's steamer will proceed on for .■'ix miles, and enter the regions of the Thousand Islands. For a description of the scenery of the route, we quote from a writer who thus describes it: "These inlands appc:ir so thickly stud- ded, that the appearance to the spectator, on approaching them, is as if the vessel steered her course towards the head of a landlocked bay which barred all further progress. Coming nearer, a small break in t!^e line of shore opens up, and he enters between what he now discovers to be islands, and islands which are innumera- ble. Now, he sails in a -.fide channel be- » 26 Leaving Cape Vincent, the steamer now proceeds towards tlie islands, and, after winding her course amongst them lor about twenty miles, reaches the stopping, place called Clayton, a small, well-built village, from which a considerable lumber trade is carried on, several rafts of which may probably be seen in French Creek, close at hand, ready for being " run " down the St. Ijiwrence to Montreal or Quebec. Sev- eral of the finest steamers which navigate the St. Lawrence were built here, Alexandria Bay, 12 miles from Clayton, is soon reached — in app-oaching which, the tourist will admire the exquisite SI KOUTE DOWN THE ST.

On all, the trees grow to the water's edge, and dip their outer branches in the clear blue lake. Sometimes the mirage throws its air of enchantment on the whole, and the more distant islands seem floating in mid- heaven — only descending into the lake as a nearer approaok dispels the illusion, and when the rushing steamer breaks the fair surface of tlie water in whicli all this love- liness is reflected, as in a mirror." BiiocKviLLE (Canada West) is the county town for the united counties of Leeds and Grenville. A steamer plies to Norristown, on the Amencan side. All the American ' as well as Canadian steamers touch here. The tourist cannot fail to admire the fine location of Brockville, and its numerous tastefully laid out gardens, stretching down to the river's edge, as well as some neat built villas on the banks. Named after Gen. Brock, ■whose monument, at Queenstown Heights, commemorates his fall in battle there in 1812. Distant from Kingston 48 miles by rail, and Montreal 125 miles. The steamer, after leaving Brockville, proceeds for 12 miles, and reaches the town of Prescott, which is situated almost im- mediately opposite to Ogdensburg. At Prescott, both lines of steamers touch. From there, branches off the railroad to Ottawa City — the future capital of Cana- da — a visit to which will well repay the tourist 55 miles to Ottaw."* per railroad. Considerable amount of business is done with Ogdjnsburg, opposite, to and from wliicli plies two ferry steamers. Popula- tion abou'„ 4,000. 113 miles from Mon- treal bj rail. One mile below Prescott is " Windmill Point," being the ruins of an old wind- mill, where, in 1837. the Ciinadinn pa- triot?, under a Polish exile named Von Shultz, established their headquarters, but were subsequently driven from it, with Great loss. 27 scenery which now opens up to view on every turn which the steamer takes. From Alexandria Bay, some of the finest views of till' islands, to our mind, are to be seen ; whilst from tlie high points near the vil- liiire, upwards of one hundred of the islands can be counted in one view. The situation of Alexandria Bay iniis't always render it a favourite place with tlie tourist who dflii;hts in romantic situations or good spoit. After steaming along for other 'ii miles, the last of the Tlioiisand Islands is seen, and the steamer touches on the Canadian side, at the thriving and prettily situated town of Brockvile (tana- da West). MoitiusTowN is situated exactly o[iposite Brockville, with wliich it is connected by steoni ferry every half hour, 1 mile dis- tance, Tlie American steamer, after leaving Brockville, proceeds on to OGDKNSBuno, now an important link in the chain of communication between the United States and Canada, with a rail- road to Lake Champlain, (118 miles off) and which also connects at House's Point with the other lines, to Boston and New York, as well as to Montreal. A consid- erable trade is done at Ogdensburg, whilst the situation of the town is one of the prettiest on the whole route. Settled by the French in 1748, attocked by the Mohawk Indians in 1749, and, on the de- feat of Montcalm at Quebec, tlie settlement was abandoned by the French, After Ogdensburg, comes Wnddington, opposite to Ogden Island. Thirty miles further on is Louisville, from which stages run to Messina Springs, 7 miles distant. The American steamer proceeds on- wards to the first rapid in the route, known by the name of Gallop's Rapids, succeeded by others of lesser note. (See Descent of the Rnpids.) Four miles further on is Chimney Island, on which stands the ruin of an old French fortification. A short distance from there is Chryselleb'h Fakm, where a battle was fought between the Americans and the British, in 1813. at the time when the Americans, under Gen. Wilkinson, were descending the river to attack Montreal, but which attempt was afterwards aban- doned. ROUTE DOWX THE ST. LAWRENCE. ri' i! i: n DESCENT OF THE KAPIIW. AT LONG 8AULT. TiiE«E Rapids, universally nllowed to be tlio most oxti'iisive nnd the most excitiii!^ to lie found on this coutincnt, extend in continuous lines for ii distimce of nine miles— the stream being divided near its centre by an island. The channels on both sides are descended with safety, al- thoui,'h steamers usually pass on the south side, which is a tritle narrower than the other. The current moves along this chan- nel with astonishing velocity, drifting rafts at the rate of 12 or U miles an hour, the waters alone moving at least 20 miles an hour. It needs not the aid of wind or steam to descend these swift-sweeping waters, and hence when vessels enter the current they shut off steam, and trust to the guidance of the helm only as they are borne on their rapid voyage by the force of the stream alone. Nature presents but few sights more grand and beautiful than is presented from the deck of a steamer when descending these rapids. The un- equal movement of the waves, as they plunge from one eddy to another, causes the boat to rise and fall with a motion not unlike that experienced on the ocean after a gale of wind has disturbed its bosom. The constant roor of the waters as they dash and leap along their furious course, filling the atmosphere with misty foam ; the wild and tumultuous force with which wave struggles with wave to reach the depths below ; the whirlings of the j-awn- ing eddies, that seem strong and angry enough to engulph any and every thing that ventures within their embrace, and the ever-changing features, form and course of the writliing, restless stream, oil unite in presenting a scene of surpassing grandeur. The navigation of these rapids, although generally condueted with entire safety, requires, nevertheless, great nerve, force and presence of mind on the part of the pilots — generally Indians — who essay to guide the staggering steamer on its course. It is imperative that the vessel should keep her head rtraight wiUi the stream, for if she diverges in the least, so as to present her side to the current, she would be in- H O H CD H O W o 28 ROUTE FROM i'llEscOlT. DOW.N TUK HAI'ins, The steamer, after leaving Prescott, proceeds, pas.-ing, on its way, between Chimney Island and Drummond's Island —now steering for Tick Island, thenee northwest round the western end of Isle aux Galops, and by Frascr's Islond to a point opposite Lock 27 of the canal, which extends from the beginning of the Gallop Rap„.s to Point Iroquois nnd rap- ids. Instead of passing through that eanul, however, the steamer proceeds down the Gallop Rapids. GALLOP RAPIDS, Lv sailing down these rapids, the steam- er passes on its way Isle aux Galops, and several other small islands in the channel, onwards to Long Point— pass- ing down the rapids between Tousson's Island and the south bank of the river; thence on again, and down the Iroquois Rapids, shortly after passing which we reach Ogden's Island, with rapids on each side of it. (At this point the up steamers ascend via the Rapide Platte Canal, from Lock 23 to 24.) After passing Ogden's Island, and several smaller ones, we pass Goose Neck Island and Crysler's Island, and proceed on between the two Cat Islands, the Upper Long Sault— now called Croyle's Island- and the rapids on the north-western end of it, at Farren's Point, where there is a short canal for the up steamer to pass through.

After leaving Cornwall, we proceed on, passing St. Regis Island, situated in mid- channel, until we enter Loke St. Francis, passing between the Squaw's Island and But- ternut Islands, with lighthouse to the iiortii, in Lancaster Shoal. The steamer now steers close to the floating light, onwards to Cherry Island Light, and passing .McO.e's Point Light, on the main lond, (north shore,) s^iils on towards the Rapids of Coteau du Lac.

La Chine. — ^This village is nine raileB from Montreal, with which it is connected by railniad. " The l.ii Chine Rapids be- gin just below the town. The current is here so swift and wild, that to avoid it a canal has been tut around these rapids. This canal is a stupendous work, and re- flects much credit upon the energy and enterprise of the people of Montreal. At La Chine is the residence of Sir George Simpson, Governor of the Hud- son's Bay Coinpony, and of the officers of this, the chief post of that corporation. It is from this point that the orders from heod-ipiarters in London ure sent to ult the many posts throughout the vost territory of the company ; and near the end of April 82 Cauoiinawaoa. — "This Is an Indian vil- lage, lying en the south bank of the river, near the entrance of the La Chine Kajiids.

This was probably a misnomer, for they were distinguished for their pre- datory incursions upon their neighbours in the New England provinces.

Previous to entering the Lachine Rapids, the tourist may observe the entrance to the aqueduct of the water-works which supplies Montreal with water— a gigantic undertaking, and affording the citizens of that city a never-failing, unlimited supply of good aqua. There are 7 small islands in the channel of the Lachine Rapids. The steamer passes on between Isle du Diable, Isle an Heron, and Isle Boket, and after passing down the rapids, the steamer proceeds along, passing near to Nun's Island, belonging to the Grey Nun- nery, Montreal, and one of the many islands which belong, and yield large resources to, the nunneries. A slight rapid, named Norman Rapid, is sailed through, and, after passing that great monument of engineering skill, the Victoria Bridge, the steamer lands her passengers at the wharf of the city of Montreal 84 MONTREAL TO QUEBEC. MONTREAL TO QrEHEC. The tourht who is desirous of proceeding on Ins voyage at once, only staying until after he has visued the comn,erc,al capital of Canada, and enjoyed the magnitilnt view from the mountain behind the Cty of Montreal, or from o.Fthe top of the Notre Da.ne in Place d Annes, w,ll find the Quel,ee stean.ers-comforlnldy fitted up and welh appointed-ready to start every evening about six o'clock, Fron, the fact of the stenn.ers sailing both from Montreal and Quebec .„ the evening, a short time during daylight is only left for .he trav- eller o see much of the nver and its banks between these two cities. This need hardly be regretted, however, so much, as the scenery, for the most part, is tame and uninteresting -thech.ef attractions being the neat and picturesquely-situated French-Canadian villages vh.ch are situated on its banks, here and there, the tin-covered spires of their churches in he clear moonhght night-the sailing of the steamer swiftly down the stream, and the beautiful moonlight on a still summer's night-all contribute to render such a trip pleasant and a change from what is almost nowhere else to be enjoyed in any other trip which can be taken in Canada. ' Leaving Montreal, therefore, by the steamer, a good view of the city and St. Helen's Islana-.n the midd e of the stream-is to be seen. The island is fortified, and commands tlie passage of the river. The Rap.1.8 OF St. Mary are just below St. Helen's Island, and. although not dangerous are very troublesome to the river craft, which are much retarded in their movements l,; these obstinate rapids. •' The first village passed is that of Longueil-three miles below Montreal, on south side of the nver-the terminus of the Grand Trunk Railroad to Portland and Quebec LoNouK Point AND Point Aux Thembles, on the Island of Montreal, are successively possed on the left, and Boucherville on the opposite shore. The Island of St. Theresa is 15 miles below the city, and near the mouth of Ottawa Kiver, Varennes, on the south-east side of the river, is a beautiful village, which is oi^en re- sorted to on account of the mineral springs to be found in its vicinity ' William Henrv. or Sorel. 80 miles below Varennes, is a town of some SOOO inhabitants It stands on the site of an old fort built in 1665. at the mouth of Richelieu River and the hrst permanent settlement was made in 1685. The " fort" was taken, and occupied in May 1776, by a party of Americans, in their retreat from Quebec, on the death of Gen Mont- gomery. Leaving Richelieu River, which is the outlet of Lake Champlain into the St. Lawrence we pass a succession of small islands, and enter ' LAKE ST. PETER'S. This lake, which is formed by an expansion of the river, is about twenty-five miles Ion- and nine miles broad, but is, for the most part, mhev shallow. Recent improvements ho«' ever, have rendered the navigation such that the largest sailing vessels, and the Cana.linn and Liverpool steamers now pass up during the summer season to Montreal. Like all the other lakes that of St, Peter's assumes a very different appearance in the summer season north, nnd Gentilly, St. Pierre, Dechellons, LothiniAre, and St. Croix, o;i the south side of one river. Nearly opposite St. Croix is Cape Sante. Cape Sante is about 30 miles above Quebec, on the north side of the river ; a small set- tlement called St. Trois being on the opposite shore. The banks of the river rise here al- most peqiendicularly to a height of 80 feet above the water, and extend back for many miles with an almost level surface. Cape Rouge, 8 miles above Quebec, is next passed on the left, when the citadel of Que- bec comes into view, presenting a siglit at once grand and deeply interesting, from its his- torical associations. Chaudiere River, on the right, has a number of beautiful falls a short distance from its entrance into the St. Lawrence. Wolf's Cove, 2 miles above Quebec, is historically famous as the place where the im- mortal Wolft landed with his gallant army in 1759, and ascended to the Plains of Abra- ham, where the heroic chief fell mortally wounded, just at the successful termination of one of the most daring enterprises ever chronicled in the annals of warfare. On the opposite side of the river is Point Levi, a small town of about 1500 inhabitants. Here is the Quebec station of the Grand Trunk Railroad. On approaching Quebec the character of the country again resumes a more picturesque appeorance — the high banks and finely-wooded country showing to great advantage. Within a few miles of the City of Quebec some private residences may be seen embosomed amid the foliage, in romantic situations, on the heights above, on the north side of the river, and on nearing the city the port of New Liverpool may be seen on the right-hand, or south side of the river, with some large ships lying at onclior there, as well as all the way between there and Quebec; where, during the season of open navigation, immense numbers of large vessels may be seen waiting to discharge their cargoes, and load the tim- ber of Canada for transportation to all parts of the world, but more particularly to Green- ock, on the River Clyde, (Scotland,) and Liverpool, on the Mersey, (England). Previous to arriving, the spot may be seen on the face of the embankment where tha gallant Montgomery was killed whilst attempting to storm the citadel at that point. The steamer, after rounding the high cliffs and Cape Diamond, takes a sweep round in the river, and lands its passengers, about seven o'clock in the morning, at the base of tha Citadel of Quebec — the " Gibraltar of Amcrioa." 86 OTTAWA. est settled towns OTTAWA, CANADA WEST. distaoce from ita creases The wn ni '"'""*'' P*""*' "' *''*' I'oP"l«'ion and l.usiuess in- «.e nan. of government buildings-wi.h sundry small cann tZ; t . ^^f^Z ua Jiarrack I III is however, also the residence of the chief military authority of the nlue The " location" of these buildings and the " gun battery" alluded I, is eertninh f he ttr : T/"^"'""' ""'^'^ '" ^"-•J" or the United state™.. 1 respects, even to the famous citadel of Quebec.

In the early part of the season, (say in May,) these falls are not seen to so much advan- tage, the river then being, generally, so much swollen with the immense volume of water from the upper lakes and the tributaries of the Ottawa. Then they partake, in some re- spects, moreof the character of huge rapids. Fartheronln theseason, however, theyap- pear more m their real character of "falls," and are a sight worth seeing, although they are being very much encroached upon, by lumber establishments.

The seigniory extends for about 16 miles, and is oonsidorcd one of the poorebt In Cnnoda, As you imw on. you will observe the beoutiful runge of hills, to the north, wliich, from the different sizes and shapes they assume, present, with their shrubbery, a beautiful fringe work, to the scene all around. Tl.eso hills form part of the chain, which range f~om Labrador, all the way to the Rocky Mountains. Passing the stopping point of Montebello, you will observe Mr. Papincau's residence embosomed amongst trees and s'arubbery of beautiful foliage. It is called Papincau's Castle —Cape St. Marie. At this point, the steamer turns to the left, leaving the hills reft^rred to, behind you. From Mr. Papincau's house, a most magnificent view of the river, and surrounding country, must be had— occupying so prominent a position, at the bend of the river, which there forms a sort of bay. Proceeding on, you will now observe that the scenery amumcs rather a different aspect but still beautiful in its character. You sail past little Islands wooded all over, and on be- tween the banks of the rivei^which in 8t)me places become very flat, with the river ex- tending in amongst the forest. Ac a more advanced season of the year, the river is lower, consequently, much of the water previously spread over a great portion of the country, r^ cedes during the summer months, and before the winter season sets in, a heavy crop of hay is reaped. For nearly eight mohihs in the year, however, the ground is thus covwed with the swelling of the river, and of course only fit for cultivation during the hot season of about four months' duration. You are now approaching to a place about twerty-eight miles of Ottawa— called Thurso —which presents nothing particular but an immense yard full of sawn lumber, belonging to the greatest lumbering establishment in the' world— Po'.'ok, Gilmour & Co., of Glasgow (Scotland.) being one of the many stations which that firm i ave in Canada, for carrying oii their immense trade. From off immense tracts of land, which they hold from government for a mere trifle— situated in different districts on the Ottawa-they have the lumber brought to wharves on the river, made into rafts and then floated down ; that intended for the porta on the St. Lawrence and United States, to tb., west of Montreal, going via La- chine, whilst the greater proportion goes via the route you have been travelling— over the rapids and down to Lake St Peter's, on the St. Lawrence, till it finally reaches Quebec There it is sold or shipped by them to ports in Great Britain, large quantities of It finding its way to the Clyde (Scotland). ) Opposite to Thurso, will be observed what is called Foxes Point. An English family of that name have settled there, and to this day they appear not to have forgot their taste for neat, well-trimmed grounds, fences, etc., exhibit- ing many of the characteristics of an Englishman's home. Passing on, you next stop at probably the wharf for Buckingham, (C. E.,) 17 miles inland. Opposite to this landing is Cumberiand, (C. W.); passing which, you will shortly reach Gill's wharf, 6 miles from Ot- tawa, and the last stopping-place previous to reaching there. In half an hour or so, you will observe the bluffs of Ottawa in the distance, but no ap- pearance of the city, it being situated on g-ound high above the level of the river where you land at To the left you will notice the beautiful little waterfall of the Rideau— a Niagara in miniature-with its Goat Island between the horse shoe and straight line fall It falls about 80 feet, and ^orms one of the prettiest little falls to be seen almost anywhere.' On the right hand, yon will observe a cluster of wooden shanties, at the mouth of the river Gatineau, which there joins the OtUwa, and, as you stand admiring the beauty of the scenery before, behind, and around you, the steamer touches at the wharf of Ottawa City T.u^L^'"} "^ ^^^ '''"'°'''' y°" '''" ^"'" "" «"«"^'°* "«^ «f the suspension bridge and the Chaudene Falls in the distance, with the rapids and the falls, throwing up the spray all around, forming a white cloud over the bridge.

The base of these cliffs lie far under water, to an unknown depth. For many miles from its mouth, no soundings have been obtained with 2000 feet of line, and for the entire distance of 60 miles, until you reach Ha-ha Bay, the largest ships can sail with- out obstruction from banks or shoals, and on reaching the extremity of the bay, can drop their anchor in 30 fathoms. " The view up this river is singular in many respects ; hour after hour, as you sail along, precipice after precipice unfolds itself to view, as in a moving panorama, and you some- times forget the size and height of the objects you are contemplating, until reminded by seeing a ship of 1000 tons lying like a small pinnace under the towering cliff to which she Is moored; for, even in these remote and desolate regions, industry is at work, and, although you cannot much discern it, saw-mills have been built on some of the tributary streams which fall into the Saguenay. But what strikes one most, is the absence of beach or strand ; for except in a few places where mountain torrents, rushing through gloomy ravines, have washed down the detritus of the hills, and formed some alluvial land nt the mouth, no coves, nor creeks, nor projecting rocks are seen in which a boat could find shelter, or any footing be obtained. The characteristic is a steep wall of rock, rising abruptly from tho water— a dark and desolate region, where all is cold and gloomy ; the mountains hidden with driving mist, the water black as ink, and cold as ice. No ducks nor sea-gulls sitting on the water, or screaming for their prey ; no hawks nor eagles soaring overiiead, although there is abundance of what might be called ' Eagle Cliffs ;' no deer coming down to drink at the streams ; no mjuirrels nor birds to be s^en among the trees ; no fly on the water, nor swallow skimming over the surface. It reminds you of * That lake vhose gloomy shore Sky-lark never warbled o'er.' One living thing you may see, but it is a cold-blooded animal ; you may see the cold seal, spreading himself upon his clammy rock, watching for his prey. And this is all you see for the first 20 miles, save the ancient settlement of Tadousao at the entrance, and the pretty cove of L'Ance a I'Eau, which is a fishing station. "Now you reach Cape Eternit6, Cape Trinity, and many other overhanging cliffs, remarkable for having such clean fractures, seldom equalled for boldness and effect, which create constant apprehensions of danger, even in a calm ; but if you happen to be caught in a thunder-storm, the roar, and darkness, and flashes of lightning are perfectly appalling. At last you terminate your voyage at Ha-ha Bay, that is, smiling or laughing bay in the Indian language, for you are perfectly charmed and relieved to arrive at a beautiful spot where you have sloping banks, a pebbly shore, boats and wherries, and vessels riding at anchor, birds and animals, a village, a church, French Canadians and Scottish Highlanders, and in short, there is nothing can remind one more of a scene in Argyleshire. " The day is now half spent; you have been ashore, looking through the village, examin- ing into the nature of what appears a very thriving settlement; the inhabitants seem to be all French and Scotch, understanding each other's language, and living in perfect amity. You hear that Mr. Price, of Quebec, is the gentlemen to whom all this improvement is due. That it is he who has opened up the Saguenay country, having erected many saw-mills, each the nucleus of a village, and that a trade in sawed lumber is carried on to the extent of !00 ship loads in the season. The river is navigable for ships as far as Chicoutimi, about 'JO miles from its mouth. An extensive lumbering establishment is there, and the timber is collected in winter through all the neighbouring country, as far as Lake St. John, which is 60 miles further up, and is the grand source of the Saguenay. " After having seen and heard all this, you get on board, weigh anchor, pass again down the riveri reviewin*' tho solemn scene, »^robably meetin;; neither vessel, boat nor o^anxie through all the dreary way, and arrive at the mouth of the river iu time to cross to River 48 THS FALtS or MONTMORENCI. your excursion, at an expense of about ml" ''"""^' "'"' t"'''''?

Thi accomplished author of " America and the AmericiiMs" thua writes reearditiK this portion of the United States:— " This is one of the wildest regions in tlie United States. trom tlie fop of the stage we have a wide prospect over forests, pastoral valleys, ravines and dingles; Mount Lafayette rising before us in solemn majesty, and behind uh, fnr ng the eye can reach, an undulating country Btretching away towards the frontiers of Canada. For the first 3 miles the drive lies through a tangled wood, and up an ascent »o steep that our team occasionally nausea, liie road is so narrow that the trees touch the onrruige on both sides at the same time B |*o_ rough that paasengcra hold on firmly f< 'leir lives; yet the coachman drives hi'a •1 hand with the utmost ease and skill " Uuring nine or ten months of the year the summits of the mountains are covered witli snow and ice, giving them a bright and dazzling appearance. On every side are long and winding gullies, deepening in their descent to the plain below. Tliese mountJiins are situated in the county of Coos, in the N. part of the State. They extend about 20 miles, from S. \V. to N E and are the more elevated parts of a range extending many miles in that direction, llieir base is about 10 miles broad, and are the highest in New England ; and. if we ex- cept the Rocky Mountalna, and one or two peaks in North Carolina, they are the most lofty of any m the United States. Although these mountaina are 65 miles dis- tant from the ocean, their snow-white sum- mits are distinctly visible, in good wentluT more than 50 miles from shore. Their ,' pearance, at that distance, is that of a -il- ven- cloud skirting the liorizc . The names here given are tuoae generally appropriated to tlie diflferent summits : J/o,„r< \ymhington is known by its superior eleva- tion, and by its being the southern of the three highest peaks. Mount Adams is known by its sharp, terminating peak, and being the north of Washington. JefTerimi is situ- ated between these two. AfadUon is the eastern peak of the range. Monroe is the first to the «)uth of Washington. fVanklin IS the second south, and is known by its level surtace. Lafmjette is known by its conical shape, and being the third aouth of Wash- ington. The ascent to the summits of these mountains, though fatiguing, is not danger- pus; and the visitant is richly rewarded for 111 V i"w'"!u ?."«''»>•■ In passing from the Notch to the highest summit, the travel- ler crosses the summits of Mounte Lafayette Franklm, and Monroe. In accompUshing this, he must pass through a forest, and cross several ravines. These are neither wide nor deep, nor are they discovered at a great di». ti.nee; for the trees fill them up exa (ly even with the mountain on each side, aiul their branches interioek with eneh other in suchu nianner tliat it is very' difficult to pass li-ough them, and they are so stiff and thick as ilmost to support a man's weight After crossing Mount Franklin, vou pass over the eostern pinnacle of Moi: it Monroe, and soon find yourself on ai.lain )f some extent at the foot of Mount Washington. Here is a fine resting-place, on the margin of a beau- tiful sheet of water, of an oval form, cover- ing about three-fourths of an acre The waters ore pleasant to the t.iste, and' deep Aot a living creature is to be seen in the waters at this height on the hills; nor does vegetation grow in or around them, to ob- seui-o t ■ clear rocky or gravelly bottom on vyhieh uiey rest.

Directly before you the pinnacle of Mount Washington f'ises with majestie grandeur, like an immense pyramid, or some vast kremlin, in this mng. nihcent eity of niount«iiis. The pinnacle is elevated about 1500 feet obove the plain and IS composed principally of huge roeks of granite and gneiss, piled together, pre- senting a variety of colours and forms 'I'he ascent is made on horseback. In ascending, you must' pass enormous masses of loose stone: but a ride of half an hour wdl generally carry you to the summit. The view from this point is wonderfully grand and picturesque. Innumerable moun- tains, lakes, ponds, rivers, towns, and vil- lages meet the delighted eye, and the dim Atlantic stretches its waters olong the east- ern horizon. To the norih is seen the lofty summits of Adams and Jefferson ; and to the east, a little detached from the range, sup- ported on the north by a high ridge which extends to Mount Jefferson ; on the north- east by a large grassy plain, terminating in a vast spur, extending far away in that di- rection; east, by a promontory, which breaks off abruptly at St. Anthony's Nose; south and south-east by a grassy plain, in summer, of more than 4( acres. At the south-eastern extremity of this plain a ridge commences, which slopes gracefully away towards the vale of the Saco, upon whieJi, at short dis- tances from each other, arise rocks, resem- bling in some places, towers; in others, rep- resenting the various orders of arcliitec- cure. 56 THE SILVER CASCADE— THE FLUME.

The Biimmit of this bold promontory affords to the tourist fi mngnificent view of the varied fr.'aks of nature wliioli are so plentifully bestowed in this romanfio region. Just behind it towers Mount Lafnyette, or the great Notch, the highest of the Franeonia range, which lifts its aspiring head 6.200 feet above the level of the f.n; while in front, and many hundred feet below, its shadow fulls upon a beautiful valley, along whose winding paths the moving human beings seem to the spectator from the " cliff" to be but so many little mice hurrying to and fro. Tliis point is a favourite resting-place with tourists, who stop here to breathe awhile, and to draw in fresh Inspiration by a prolonsred view of the jutting cliffs, the lofty peaks, the silver lakes, the leaping cascades, and the green valleys which stretch, like huge panoramic views, along the whole line of vision.
