I ^OTTAWA. ^1 -^'-v©*^©,-^*- -♦♦^ I HE HEADERS of this hand-book have doubtless lonj; ore now boon favored, from one uthor or another, with narrative descriptions of the rise and progress of the Capital of the Dominion, and it is possible, even probable, that nothing new may be elicited by any attempt at a similar work by the author. The writer however docs not aim so much at novelty as a desire to produce an epitome of the most striking incidents in the history of a city that has now acquired fame both in America and Europe, and with those, couple statistical and other event?, thr.t cannot prove otherwise than interesting to strangers and others who may have occasion to visit the Canadian Metropolis. A compendium of this kind, which gives in a concise and instructive manner the information desired in relation to the City, is preferable to more extensive treatises that entail a great loss of time in their perusal. The growth of Canadian cities has been very rapid of late years, and in uone has this been more per- ceptible than in Ottawa. This is attributable in a great degree to its being the headquarters ul' that great and staple industry, the lumbt-r trade, and also to the fact of its being made the permanent Scat of Govcrnmeut of Canada. ITS SITE. The City occupies a very beautiful site at the coniluciice of the liideau Canal and Ottawa lliver, distance 120 miles from the city of Montreal, by the latter stream, and 12G from Kingston by the former. It has rail connection with I'lCscott (54 miles) by the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway ; with Montreal by the Q. M. 0. & 0. Railway; with Brockvillc (75 miles) and Pem- broke (100 miles) by the Canada Central Hue, and in the ucar future has the prospect of increased railway facilities in the construction of the Cauadiau Pacific, Canada and Atlantic, and Toronto and Ottawa roads. The site is one of the finest in America, and the fcenery around the City, in every direction, is of unsurpassed beauty a'nd also wild and romantic in its character. It covers an area of nearly 2,000 acres on the south shcre of the Ottawa, and is traversed by both the Canal and Rideau River, the latter of which marks the eastern boundary of the City. No place on the continent so strikes the tourist at first sight as Ottawa, with its majestic river gliding swiftly past, and draining in its area the waters of the Rideau Canal and Rideau and Gatineau rivei's. The magnificent Chaudiere Falls to the west of the City, rivalling in grandeur Niagara itself, command the admiration of all who behold them ; as do also the twin curtain falls that take the waters of the Rideau River to the bosom of the Ottawa, at the east end. The Ottawa is spanned near the Chaudiere by 10 OlTAWA. — Jlri KaKI.V lIlSIOKV. a hantlHoine suspension bricl;,'c which wm^ built in the y.'.ar 182<> a»a result of the joint deliberation of Lord DalhouBie, dloni'l Duiiford and Colonel By. I may here observe that the present Ih not the original Htructure, as two bridfres Hpnniicd the clmsni anterior to thiH one, which was not built '•■■.tV, 1K42. The first bridge was no sooner built than a terrific gale carried it down stream. Undaunted at this luiffortune, a new bridge was coiunienccd and eonijileted the tltllowing year, and served its purpose for nearly 12 years, wlicn the fate of its predecessor awaited it. The present bridge has proved a dur iblc structure, reflecting credit alike upon the engineering skill of Samuel Kcefer, O.K., and the contractor Mr. Alexander Christie, botn of whom are yet alive, and the latter a prominent citizen of the place of which he was '.hen but a pioneer. This work was built by the then I'rovincial Government at a cost of nearly |{70,O00. From the Capitol Hill a fine view of 'ho surrounding country is had ; to the north are the Laurcntian range of mountains, forming a background to one of the finest land- scape views that it iw possible to find in any country. To the south, east and west the scene is so diversified and grand as to present a truly pictures()ue appearance. The City is divided by the Rideau Canal into two distiuct divisions, u'-ual'y designated Upper and Lower Town, the former lying west and the latter east of the Canal. ITS EARLY SETTLEMENT. The City was founded in 1827 by Col. By, an officer of the Royal Engineers, who was sent out by the British Government to construct tlie Hideau Canal, with a view to augment the system of* military defense of the colony in case of an invasion of the country, and to afford a means of transport for troops by an internal line of communication between Montreal and Kingston in the event of war with the United Htates. The place was named Bytown in honor of its founder, ani the site selected reflects credit uf.on the worthy soldier, who in the choice made evinced the marked aptitude so characteristic of British officers when entrusted witn any important mission. It occupies an eminence that can be said to be only second to Quebec itself in a military sense, and upon the summit stands the Capitol with its stately pile of buildings. The earliest settler in this section of country was Philemon Wright from Mas- sachusetts, who explored the country from Montreal westward, and in 1796 took up his abode in what is now known as the City of Hull, a large manufacturing suburb of the City and lying on the north side of the river at the northern terminus of the suspension bridge. In the year 1827 the Colonel took his first steps towards forming a town on the south side of the river and made contracts for building himself a house of stone, (the first built in the neighborhood), two ordnance stores, barracks and hospital. His own residence was built upon the Major's field, the ordnance stores at the foot of the locks, and the barracks and hospital where the Parliament Buildings now stand. Of all these, none remain, but the two ordnance houses at the foot of the locks, one of which was occupied by the late Col, Coffin for many years, in his capacity of chief of the Ordnance Department.

The By Estate, which comprised what was origiually Lots letter D and E ill Concession C, in the Township of Ncpcau, and now known as that part of the City of Ottawa extending from C oiieessiim street on the wcbt to Ottawa street in Lower Town, and from Maria street on the north to the southern limits of the City, also Lots D and E, in Concession D, now known as the property extending from Ottawa street aforesaid to the Rideau river, and from Theodore street on the north to the southern boundary of the City; was patented in the year 1801 by one Grace McQueen.

What is i;;enerally known as the OimNANCK Lands, at least two lot,s described ns Jjots A and B, in Concession C, of Nopoan, and now known as Farliamf iit Hill, Major's Field, etc., was patented by Jacob Carman, May 17th, 1802, a man supjiosed to be at the time a resident of the frontier of the St. Jjawrencc in the vicinity of what i.s now known as Morrisburg. He afterwards conveyed it, June 1st, 1812, to Col Thomas Fraser, of Fraserville, Glcnofarry, at one time a wealthy man and extensive land owner, for the sum of .£10. He havinv^ died the pmperty, by will, fell to his son, lluuli Fraser, on the I'Uh April, 1822, but in the devisee there was 600 aeixl. Fraser in .some way not accounted lor by the records.

In thi-s conveyance, the wife of Hugh Fraser, through some inadvertance of the attorney, had not barreJ her dower to the jiroperty. The relict of the late Hugh Fraser, wlio.se maiden name was Eleanor I). Cartwright, afterwards married a man named TIkks. A. Begly, of (hielpli, Ontario, who by some means discovered this oversight in the ro-conveyance to the Crown, and advised action by Fetition ol' Right to Court of Chancery, for liis wife's dower, and some litigation ensue. Xhis property comprised at this date Lots [() iu (Joneos- fion A suid 41 in the Ist Concession, (0.

It has since become the site of njany of residences of the Ca} ital, its fine locality and salubrious it one of the most desirable locations in this respect in the TRADE AND COMMERCE. In early times the chief industry of the City w;.s the lumber trade, and this gave the first impetus to the growth of Ottawa, and from data which will be hereafter given, it will be seen that it not only made this sectiou of country prosperous, but it became a staple industry in the coniu)ei*cial wealth of the whole country. Eight hundred ^hips have in years past annually loaded at Cjucbec with lumber for Foreign ports, with an average value of each cargo of $4,000, making a total of $3,200,000, and this docs not include the export of u Ottawa, — Its Eaki.v Historv. deals to tho United States. A recent statistical writer says tliat during the past few years over 80,000,000 cubic feet of timber have been cut down in the forests of the Ottawa Valley, of which $14,000,000 worth was exportei to Great Britain and the United States. It is estimated that nearly $2,000,000 are invested in the lumber trade of the Ottawa Valley, while all the year round from eight to ten thousand men find constant and remunerative employment in cutting, hauling, rafting or sawing. About 250 barges, 20 steamers and 2,000 horses are also engaged in the work. To see something of the immense operations of our lumber men, is of itself enough to render a visit to Ottawa exceedingly interesting. Besides this trade there are other industries in the City, bi\t as yet in th ir infancy, such as foundries, machine shops, match, pail and tub factory, sash, door and blind factories, flour and oatmeal mills, biscuit factory, woolen and carding mills ; but with the inexliuustible water power at the Chaudiere, and increased railway facilities, Ottawa should become one of the greatest manu- facturing centres of the Dominion. Iron ores, phosphate of lime and other mineral resources abound in the Laurentinn Hills, a short distance from the City, and only require to be made known to the Capitalist, to become a source of wealth to men of enterprise. This leads us to examine into tho commercial advantages this City hps enjoyed. In its early days the facilities for transit wore few and slow indeed, a difficulty which is now being greatly overcome. First, the voyageur in his canoe, was considered sufficient for the carrying trade of the place, but this in time was supplemented by a few small steamers which with portaging carried freight and passengers from Montreal in from three to four days. The " Union " was the name of the first steamboat that pliod on the Ottawa River. The establishment of tho Ottawa River Navigation Company was, however, the first attempt at any enterprise in the way of giving commercial facilities to the City. Their first steamer from here to Grenville was called the " Speed," and by means of a short line of niilway between Grenville and Caril- lon, connection was made with another steamer for Lachine, and then rail into Montre;il, which brought the two cities within one day's communication of each other. The first steamer having been burnt was replaced by the " Phoenix," and she sharing a like fate after many years service, was succeeded by the ■' Queen Victoria," and she being set apart for the night line and extra service was replaced by the present very popular and well equipped steamer " Peerless." Square timber was floated to Quebec in rafts, and lumber in barges towed by tugs to the American markets. In 1851 railroad communication was established via the St. L. & 0. Railway with Prescott, and proved an invaluable boon to uie City. Some years later, railway facilities were afforded by the Canada Central with Perth and Brockville, and within the last two years with towns and villages on the Upper Ottawa as far as Pembroke. This year too, has witnessed tho completion of the Q. M. 0. & 0. Railway between Montreal and Hull, also to Aylmer ; and when the new bridge is completed at the Chaudiere, this road and the Canada Central will run into a union depot at the west end of the City. This lias given an impulse to trade and so cheapened freights that the mercantile community have reason to rejoice ; but the end is not yet, as several other railway projects are under way, and with the return of better times, oannot but usher in 551 O'lTAWA IjI'SINKSS GlTIDi; 16 TO DOMIITIOIT EXHIBITORS —AND- THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

There are no less than nine bank agencies in the City which have been doing a good trade, except perhaps within the two hist years, owing to the prevailing depregsion that has so disastrously affected the lumbering and mercantile community. The banks doing business in the City are the Bank of British North America, the Bank of Montreal, the Quebec Bank, the Bank of Commerce, the Merchant's Bank, La Banque Nationale, the Ontario Bank, the Union Bank of Lower Canada, and the Bank of Ottawa. The customs dues collected on imports at the Port of Ottawa for thoyoar ending 31st December, 1878, amounted toS208,030, and on tonnage dues, §1,533.00. Exports were before referred to. The excise revenue received for the same period amounted to $172,000. T»^ GROWTH AND PRESENT CONDITION. In the year 1829 the population scarcely numbered 300 persons, whereas in 1879, a period of only 50 years, it numbers, with outlying suburbs, over 30,000 souls, being a marvellous growth in so short a time. Fostered by its native industry and stimulated still more by being made the ji'' CHAUDIERE FALLS AND SLIDES.

One of the most important constructions around tho City is the Chuudiere slidet)/ built by tho government to obviate the dangers incident to raftsmen and voyagours in driving timber down the Ottawa, when approaching the Chaudicrc Falls. Cribs and their crew havo time and again gone over the falls, but that was the last ever seen or hoard ol" their adventure. A trip over the slides is a delightful sensa- tion, and has been enjoyed by the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred and Prince Arthur, as well as by tho sucoessive governors who have occupied Hideuu Hail. Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lome ran tho slides in the early part of the summer, and we would advise all who can possibly get the chance when visiting the Capital not to return home until they havo '• done" them too. SUSPENSION AND OTHER BRIDGES. )'i-i Suspension Bkidok. — This bridge spans the Ottawa Uiver a short distance below the Chaudiere Falls, connecting the City of Ottawa with the City of Hull. It 18 a wire bridge, the cables being su.spended between two abutments making one .span across the raging current that issues from the tierce cataract a short distance above it. It was erected in 1843 by the government under tho direc- tion of Samuel Keefer, civil engineer, Alexander Christie being tho contractor, at a cost of 876,000. It occupied over two years in construction, the .-lupcr- Htruoture being built by 1). Wilkinson & Son. To strangers, this bridge together with its surrounding.'^ is the object of much admiration, and is visited by tourists whenever they come to the City of Ottawa. PooLEy\s Bkidoe. — Shortly after tho first attempt to build tho Su.spension Bridge, in 1827. Col. By instructed Lieut. Pooley and a detachment of Sappers to bridge the gully in order to connect Upper Town with LeBreton's Flat, with a view to complete a contemplated road from the Canal Works to Hull, then the principal settlement in the district. The work was so vniquc and roughly done that it led Col. By to exclaim, " woll ! well ! we must christen that thlmj I'oolcy's Bridge," and it was done accordingly, and to this day the new bridge that replaced it retains the name. A subst;mtial stone structure built by the Corporation i^everal years ago at a cost of about ^10,000, now occupies the site formerly crossed by Pooley's Bridge. .-r •iRlmy> The Chaudiere Bbidoes.— At an early date an ordinary woodcu structure, crossed the slide channels at the Chaudiere islands, hut they had become so dilapidated, that the Coqjoratiou replaced them in 1875 with hand- some iron truss bridges at a cost of $50,000. These bridges are pronounced by those competent to judge, in be the finest structures ol' their kind in the Domiaiou. . Mi>-i fi 26 Ottawa. — PLACEb ok Intbrest. ll: Sappers' and Dufperin Bripoes. — The first of these was originally built by the Engiueers under the uirectioii of Col. By, in the year 1828, and crossed the Bidcau Canal, huving one largo arched span to permit of the passage of steamers underneath the biidgc. The growth of the City compelled the Cor- poration a few years ago to ejilarge the structure to its present dimensions. In addition to this, another bridge was constructci over the Canal by the Corporation to connect Wellington and Rideau streets, which was named " DuflFerin Bridge " in honor of the late (xovernor Cieneral, who resided here at its inauguration. It is a handsome stone structure with iron superstructure and cost along with the additions to the Sappers' Bridge, $90,000. Wooden Bridges.— Another bridge spans the Rideau Canal, connecting Maria and Theodore streets, but is evidently only of a temporary character, as it now presents anything but u prepossessing appearance. The delta at the mouth of the Bideau river, near the Rideau Falls, is spanned by two wooden bridges, that ara crossed in going to New Edinburgh and Rideau Hall. They have served their day and generation and will doubtless soon be replaced by more substantial bridges. Another wooden structure crosses the Rideau at the foot of St. Patrick street, leading to the Bcechwood Cemetery road, and is anything but a credit to v*he Corporation. Two other wooden bridges cross the Rideau at Cummings' Island, but like the others must soon be replaced by structures more ir' keeping with the spirit of the age. Railway Bridges. — The St. L. & 0. Railway Company have spanned the Bidoau with a splendid bridge at a cost of about $12,000 ; but a bridge is now in course of construction over the Ottawa above the Chaudiere Falls, for the Q. M. O. & 0. Railway, that will eclipse all other efforts made in this vicinity. It is to be of stone with iron superstructure, and will cost when completed over 1300,000. RIDEAU HALL. The Vice Regal residence of the Governor General of Canada is situated about two miles from the Parliament Houses and is reached by means of the street railwuy, which has its eastern terminus nt New Edinburgh, not far fro.u the entrance to the grounds. It was originally built by the late Hon. Thor i^it MoKuy, for u private residence, and named Rideau Hall, after the rivor ';id falls of that name in the vicinity. The residence, and about 77 acres of ti < estate, was leased by the government in August, 18G5, for the sum of $4,000 per annum, with the right to purchase within three years for $70,000, and subse- quently witljin twelve years, for such sum as might be determined upon by arbitration. On the 1st September, 1867, an additional lot lying adjacent to it, containing 10 acres, and facing the Ottawa River, was leased at $720 per aDDum, and with the same privileges as in the previous lease. At the outset alterations and improvements to the property cost the government over $80,000. These improvements consisted of new buildings, conservatory, vinery, laundry, winter oamago house, ooach house, ice house, stables, fencing grounds and gravelling roads. In tho spring of 1868, the government decided to purchase '/^ OrrAw A.— Places ok Intkrest. 27 the property, and on the 28th of July of that year a deed of conveyance was executed for a consideration of $82,000, making the entire capital cost up to that date (besides rents) over $162,000. Since that date upwards of $150,000 has been expended in additions and $295,000 in repair-s, and the end is not yet, for alterations on a very exiensive scale are now in procei-s of completion to better meet the requirements of the present Royal occupants of llidcau Hall. Around the residence, are 35 acres of artistically laid out pleasure grounds, part of which has been generously granted for the use of the Ottawa Cricket Club. BEECHWOOD CEMETERY. ' In all large cities efiovts are generally made to have some quiet and beautiful spot set upurt for the last resting place of the dead, and lience we hear of such places as Mount Vernon at Washington, Creenwood at New York, Mount Auburn at Boston, Laurel liill at Philadelphia and Mount Royal at Montreal where the living seek consolation in rearing relics to commemorate the lives of departed friends. Nature is generally consulted in choosing u site to be conse- crated to such an end, while art, as her helpmate, also assists in adorning and making more attractive the place around which fond memorios cling in after life. This City has, after frequent attempts, at last succeeded in securing a quiet retreat lor its dead, that will compare favourably with most cemeteries on the continent ; and from itw .surroundings has been very approprintely named "Beech- wood." Before entering into particulars, we might be allowed to give remini- scences of the early experiences of the City in regard to the burial of its dead. The first graveyard was located in what is now the principal business centre of the City. Col. By as early as 1827 finding it necessary to have (^ome b.irial plot for his young but rising town, fenced in a spot that would now be bounded by Sparks, Elgin, Albcr*; and Metcalfe streets, he at that time having taken ;i large portion of the Sparks' Estate, believing it to be a part of the estate conveyed to the Crown for Ordnance purposes. After some litigation, however, the late Mr. Sparks recovered from the Crown his lost property and along «iih it the Cemetery. The western portion of it was consecrated as Roman Catholic ground, and the remainder under the direction of the Kirk of Scotland was allotted for the burial of those belonging to other denominations. A number of the Sappers and Miners were interred here, also all those who died of ship fever at the Canal Basin, in 1847, and among whom the Rev. Father Molloy and the late Rev. Wm. Durie laboured so arduously, the latter becoming a victim to the plague himself. With the growth of the place, a desire became general to sele.it some more suitable site for a cemetery, a desire which was quickened from the fact that Mr. Sparks put a veto upon any further burials in the place. The Roman Catholics were the first to take the hint and located in a spot lying to the south of Rideau street, between what would now be bounded by Rideau, Chapel, Bcsperer and Nelson streets, on what afterwards became the Besserer estate. After being a few years here the late Mr. Besserer forbade any further burials, and another move had to be decided upon. In the meantime the Church of Scotland and Church of England congregations, got together and petitioned the Crown for a grant of u piece of the Ordnance property at the cast end of the ^s Oti'Awa. — Places of tNTEUEst. City for burial purposes, a movement in wluch the late Dr. Strong ana Dr. Spenco were the moving spirits. In due time their efforts were rcwardei with success, and a piece of ground was given in trust to Hon. Thomas McKay, Donald McArthur, and E. McGillivray in rear of the Protestant Hospital for a cemetery. This was Ibllowcd by similar petitions from the Roman Catholics and Wesleyati Methodists, who were also accorded sites to the west of the one first granted in the year 1849. These were ia turn used, until the very rapid growth of the City rendered it inevitable that the graveyards would have to be removed outside the limits of the Corporation. Meetings were held among the various congregations, but owing to the frequent reverses already sustained, they let the matter go by default, until tlie City Corporation finding that nothing was being done, passed a By-law forbidding any burials in the cemeteries after the 1st of May, 1873 This had the desired eftect and the Rom;t•t< Will be on Exhibition Grounds on last two days of fair to conduct any salcB that may be required. ^\7"IOTODFl.Iu^ LIVER!

Young's Mill. — Levi Young first established his business at the Chaudi^re in 1854, and owns one saw mill, getting out and sawing about 100,000 logs in the year, producing about 20,000,000 feet of pine timber. He employs one slabbing gate of 40 saws ; one .stock gate of 40 saws; one Yankee gate of 32 .saws, and the necessary edging and butting saws. The wheels employed are Rose's improved, 1 pair to each gate, Eddy's Mills and Match Factory. — Mr. E. B. Kddy has carried on the largest business in the manufacture of the products from our forests, on this continent, converting the timber of his enormous estates into every description of useful article from saw logs and lumber to wooden ware and lucifer matches, .'ilddy's mills and piling grounds cover a large tract of land on the north shore of the Ottawa, at the Chaudi6re fulls. They consist of one large Pail Factory, built solidly of stone ; a xMatch Factory, also of stone ; four saw mills of great extent, built principally of wood, and numerous other buildings, offices, &c,, ncoe-ssary to such extensive operations, i icluding a sash, door, and blind factory, and a general store. In addition to these mills, Mr. Eddy has built a double track railway of over a mile in length which runs from his mills to the further extremity of his piling grounds, and enables him to distribute and pile the enormous amount of lumber produced, expeditiously. These mills maaufactui'e annually about 40 million feet of pine lumber, of which there are always from 8 to 10 million feet on the piling grounds. They also manufacture annually 600,000 pails, 45,000 wash tubs, 72,000 zinc wash boards, and 270,003 gvoss of matches, besides the productions of the sash, door, and blind fiictory. The saw mills are fitted with gang and circular saws of all kinds and sizes, and the whole establishment gives employment to from seventeen to eighteen hundred persons, many of whom are girls employed in the manufacture of matches. The force employed in driving the mills, is derived from the unlimited water power of the Ottawa, assisted by mechanical agencies of modern invention, and is equal to about 600 horse power. The Match Factory, the most extensive of its kind in Canada, consists of a range of buildings containing two machine rooms, two dipping rooms, two large packing rooms, a warehouse and shipping office, besides engine house, and drying rooms. It is built on the north side of the Chaudi^re Falls, and the machinery is worked by water power. These ufeful articles are here manufactured in incon- ceivable quantity. The process of their production is a most ingenious one, and can be carried on with great rapidity. Mr. Eddy employs about a hundred men boys and girls the whole year round. The business is conducted in two buildings. In one department of the factory proper is a bench containing a series of saws, the work of which is to cut to a proper length and groove the boards intended for the boxes, that hold each, a quarter of a gross of matches. These boards are cut and grooved with astonishing rapidity, and are fitted in their places with equal speed ; so that no fower than fifteen hundred boxes can be turned out in the 34 Ottawa. — Places of Interest. course of a day. In one part of the factory is a pow "*"•' '"•achine for preparing wood to be formed into matches. A log is out up b .lar saw , the boards are then pushed under a planing machine, whr- are planed to a proper thickness. Another set of saws are next brou' requisition, which cut the boards into blocks of the required length. Th ith of these blocks does not require to be uniform so long as they are all mated, as each pair of blocks as they are placed in the machine together, must be precisely of a size. These blocks arc now curried into a room in which are three telegraph match machines. They split the blocks into the size of the match in the following manner : a mould of steel is fitted into the back of an iron bed, so that it projects slightly, but corres> ponds to the depth of the block of wood. This mould has running lengthwise through it a series of holes, the size of the match in thickness ; each hole alter- nates with a very small chisel. The wood is placed within a holder leading across to the mould. The machine is then started ; the wood lying upon its flat side is forced against the mould endwise, and the matches are forced through horizontal grooves in the iron, the one propelling the other into a rack placed in its proper position by a boy who takes it when full, and presses down the rack by a machine until the matches are all firmly held within it. These racks are placed in boxes and carried across the street, to a building where they arc dipped in a vessel of boiling sulphur, and afterwards into a preparation of phosphorous When dried they are shaken upon a bench ; a little girl takes them by the hand< ful, and packs them into boxes. There are engaged In boxing the matches about twenty-gve girls, who earn at it very respectable wages. The rapidity with which the process is performed is wonderful, for as many as thirteen of these boxes can be closely filled and covered by one person in a minute. The establishment em- ploys a number of men, and a great many bojs and girls, and can turn out about 500 gross per day, that is to say 2,000 boxes. The factory, by the employment it affords, is of much benefit to the city. The Pail Factory is a lai^ stone building of three stories high near the principal saw mill, where pails are manufactured at the rate of 2,000 pails and 150 wash tubs per diem. Every part is made by beautiful machinery. In one room the staves are sawn into regular sizes, in another the bottoms and hoops are manufactured, in another the handles are turned, and in another the various parts are joined together, planed and finished. The pails are then taken to the painting room, where they are painted and grained by patent India rubber rollers. They are then finished oflF and fitted with handles, after which they are packed in hay and made ready for shipment. Thi.s gives but a faint idea of the manufacturing industry of the city, for we have not touched at many other mills, that arr located at different points in and around the Capital ; such as Skead's, Rochester's, Maclaren & Co.'s, Gilmour & (^.'s, LeMoyne's, Gibb & Co.'s, Edward's, and Hamilton Bros., many of which are even more extensive than those referred to. We might have also adverted to the fine grist, flour and oatmeal mills of Thos. McKay & Co., as well as those of Thompson & Son, at the Chaudi^re ; also those of Wm, McClymont & Co., at New Edinburgh, but the space at our disposal is so Umited as to preclude our doing so. . , „ il^'4 [•^■'^:.■ i;il Ottawa. — Places of Interest. 85 GAS WORKS. 1 1 I our The city was first lighted with gas in November, 1854, by the By town Gas Consumers' Company, a private corporation with a capital of $200,090. Since then, the charter has been amended, changing the name to the Ottawa Gas Company, and increasing the capital to $500,000. The gas-house and works are situated on the west side of King street, covering a considerable area of ground at the junction of this street with York street. The site, buildings and manu- facturing material are valued at more than $1 00,000, and nearly twice this has been laid out in pipeage and other outside work. The works at their inception were superintended by Mr. Wm. Perry, but they are now under the direction of Mr. John Holt. The pipes extend through nearly all the leading Btreets of the city and aluo to New Edinburgh and Eideau Hall, aggregating nearly 25 miles. There are 350 street lamps in use, and the total consumption for last year amounted to nearly 20,000,000 cubic feet of gag. The Parliameut and Departmental Buildings are now supplied with gas through a special main, which must add considerably to the receipts of the Company. The revenue last year amounted to nearly $60,000. The paid up capital at date amounts to $215,000. The high price of coal made gas a dear commodity for years, it being $6 per thousand cubic feet, with 33i^ per cent, discount for cash : but it has now, through the cheapening of coal and an increase in the consumption, been reduced to $4 per thousand, and 25 per cent, discount. In the suburbs, naptha lamps have been used for some years, but the experiment has proved to a great extent a failure, and must eventually be replaced by gas. The head office is on Elgin street, nearly opposite the Eussell House, and the officers are : — 0. T. Bate, President ; Francis Clemow, Allan Gilmour, Thomas Patterson, Samuel Howell, Thos. C. Keefer, and John Pcnnock, Directors. Francis Clemow is Managing Director; A. Spittal, Sec'y-Treasurer, and John Holt, Superintendent of Works. WATER WORKS, PUMP HOUSE, &c. There is nothing of so much interest in and around the capital as the Water Works. They are alike interesting to citizens, who enjoy a wholesome supply of good water, and to tourists and strangers, who cannot but admire the admirable system unon which they are constructed. They are certainly the finest and most complete of any in the Dominion, and should not fail to receive the attention of visitors to the city. The power is supplied by water brought from a short distance above the Chaudiere Palls, through a channel quarried out of solid rock, across the LeBreton Plat property. The wheelhouse, containing the pumping machinery, is situated near Pooley's Bridge, being a substantial struc« ture of cut limestone. All the surroundings, as well as the bridges across the aqueduct at the various street crossings, are solid arches of dressed limestone. They are of neat design and suitable width for street travel over them. Tho works were begun in 1872, under a commission chartered by special Act of Parliament, with T. C. Eeefer, C.E., as Chief Engineer. Water was first let into the pipes in November, 1874. The system adopted is a modifioatioD of the !i!i^ m Ottawa. — Pr.AoKs nv Intekfrt. Holly principle, piston pumps being used iuHtead of the Holly Rotary, of which there are three set. The machinery is of the most improved construct iou und admirable workmanship, and operates with the utmost harmony, and is ciipablo of 8upplyin{» 10,000,000 gallons every 24 hours. Up to the present the works have cost $1,049,584, and before final completion may cost something additional. Over 40 miles of pipe have been laid, 5,422 services for private use put in, together with 318 hydrants for fire purposes up to the Slst of December, 1878. The consumption for the last year was 837,207,000 gallons of wpter, with an ordinary pressure of 871b, and 1151b for fire purposes, to the square inch. Dur- ing fires an extra pressure is put on the mains, according to the number of hydmnts in use, it being found that each hydrant reduces the pressure 51b. Near the pump house, a stream upwards of 100 feet in height is often sent up for the benefit of tourists and visitors to the city. Mr. \Vm. Kennedy has until lately been superintendent of the works, and in that capacity has given every satisfaction. His removal on the score of economy Ins caused the most wide/- .spread dissatisfaction, which will doubtless end in his reinstatement. Since the completion of the construction, the works have come under the jurLsdictioo of the (Jcrporation, a committee of that body having the immediate supervision of them. The revenue from the works for the year 1878 amounted to $92,133.62, of which the Dominion Government alone contributes $9,000. The expenditure for the same period, exclusive of construction account, was for working expenses $80,802.98, including interest on debentures, $61,605.09 ; leaving a margin for profit of $12,330.64. The expenditure will be considerably reduced by the end of the present year, the idea being that the Water Works should at least wipe out their own indebt'cdness for original construction. , ' CITY AND COUNTY BUILDINGS. City Hall. — This is the chief public building owned by the C'ity Corpo- ration, and was erected in 1875 at a cost of nearly $100,000. It is one of the finest buildings of the kind in the Dominion and was constructed under the supervision of Messrs« Horsey and Sheard, architects. It is of a modern style of architecture leaning to the Frendi, and is built of massive dressed Trenton lime- stooo with Ohio freestone trimmings. It is located in City Hall Square, on the west bank of the Canal, facing Elgin street, having the Eussell House, Union House and Knox Church adjoining it on the same street. On the north west angle is a tower, 175 feet in height, in which are the batteries, instruments and machinery of the Fire Alarm Telegraph. Its internal arrangements are very (complete, the Ciounoil Chamber, a very commodious Hall, being on the upper flat, with the Mayor's office and waiting room for the Aldermen in the roui-. The offices of the License Inspector, Board of Public School Ti'ustees and Board of Separate School Trustees, are also upon the same flat and in front of the City Hall, which is reached by a magnificent double stairway. A private stairway in rear leads to the Mayor's Office and Council Chamber. On the ground flour are the offices of the City Clerk, City Engineer, Assessment Commissioner, City Treasurer, Collector of Ta«8, Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, and Col- lector of Water fi«tes. The buildio^ is heated oa the moat im^ovcd principle OrrAWA.— t'LAOEs OF Interest. 37 with .steam and hot water, and lighted with gu8 ; the gOHalier in tlie Council Chamber being especially brilliant. The entire structure is a credit to the City, and when the i^quarc is laid out, will prove an ornumcnt to the Canadian Metro- polis. . TuE Eastern Market. — The Public Markets include the Eastern Meal, Msli and Produce Market ; Western Meat, Fish and Produce Market ; Victoria Meat and Fish Market ; Anglesea Meat and Fish Market ; Catheart Meat and Fi.sh Market, and Ottawa Cattle Market. The first is situate in By Ward, not far off Ridcau street, and comprises what is familiarly termed the Old and New iJy Ward Market Houses. The former is the oldest and principal meat market of the (.'ity, being at first a wooden structnre, that was destroyed by fire nearly 20 years ago. The new edifice erected in its place is a substantial limoert^ne otructure, some 200 feet in length "nd 60 feet in width and valued at $25,000. It is built upon a site of eight lots lying between York and Clarence streets, and comprises 24 single stalls which rent at $100 per annum each, two corner shops on Clarence street renting at $200 each, and two on York street renting at $250 each, yielding when all routed a revenue of $3,300. The New Market house is a connnodious building and is built upon a site generally known as the New Exten- sion, comprising five large-sized City lots lying between George and York streets. The structure is of the mansard design prepared and superintended by Mr. James Mather, architect, and has one of the largest public halls in the City above the shop and stalls, being 50 x 100 feet in dimension, with waiting rooms, etc., in front, and office of Market Inspector in rear, being reached by a private stair- case from the l^ublic Weigh House, in an arched portion A the building at the .southern end of the building. It is of white brick and cost $20,000, and is yet only ii little better than half of the intended building. It is intended ultimately as a Fish and Huckster Market, although business of a miscellaneous kind is now carried on in it. There arc two shops in front on York street, rented at $250 each, and nine shops on each side of the building whose rentals arc $100 each, which if entirely occupied would yield a revenue of $2,300, without the hall which is rented at from $15 to $20 per night when occupied, as it usually is for public meeting.", balls, socials, and such like gatherings. This fine property, extending as it docs from George to Clarence streets, is valued at $90,000. i The Western Market. — This fine edifice is considered the handsomest null kot house in the Dominion, and has just recently been erected on a fine site between Sparks and Queen streets, in Wellington Ward, at a cost of $25,000, and with the ground upon which it ia built and adjoining market property is valued at $40,000. It might hare be observed that this is the second building, the fiist having been destroyed by fire immediately after its occupation in the winter of 1876-77. The structure, also designed by Mr. Mather, is of white brick with limestone dressings, and has a transept in rear for the Fish Market. Two Dhops on Sparks street rent at $260 each, two on (^ueen street at $200 each, twelve inside stiills at $100 each and two fish stalls at $100 each, which if all in occupation would realize a revenue of $2,300, but a considerable portion of this market is yet unoccupied it being comparatively a new eutcrpme. \ ^:!^ ( Z6 Ottawa. — Placks or Intkrest. / Farmers vend their produce at both this and the Eastern Markets, and are not allowed to sell it elsewhere, except grain of ail kinds which is exempt from toll. The above tollH and fees are sold out to the highost bidder realizing on an average from $10,000 to $12,000 per annum. Victoria Market. — This is rather an unpretending structure of frame, having been built many yeirs ago for the accommodation of residents of the Ghaudicre District, and is one of the proposed sories of subsidiary markets con- templated under the New Market By-luw, that prevents the selling of fresh meat or fish on the public streets elsewhere than in some of the market houses, a very wise and precautionary measure from a sanitary point of view. It is built upou a site at the corner of Qneen and liloyd streotfi, on LeBroton Flats, and with the ground is valued at $2,500. There are but two stalls here, each rented at $100 per annum, yielding a revenue of $200. Anqlesea Market. — This is a neat little red brick structure, erected in Anglesea Square, at the east end of the City, at a cost of $2,000, and comprisew two stalls rented at $100 each, realizing a revenue of $200. It is valued, with the site upon which is stands, at $3,500. ' " Cathcart Market — This, the remaining one of the three subsidiary markets, is similar in design and the same size as the one in Anglesea Square, and is built on C ithcart Square, at the corner of Cumberland aud Cathcart streets, in Ottawa Ward, not far from the track of the St. L. &, O. Railway, it also comprises two atolls for the sale of fresh meat and fish, yielding a revenue to the City of $200. It, with the site, is valued at $3,500. The upper part of these two markets can be converted into suitable halls at very little cost. The Cattle Market. — This is a new enterprise and not yet fully com- pleted. It occupies a site of nine City lots, bounded by Dalhousic, Cathcart and Bolton streets, not far from the depot of the St. L. & O. Railway. Mr. A. DeGrnise has entered into a contract with the City Corporation to fence the grounds, erect the necessary buildings, pens, &o., for live stock of all kinds, which are not allowed to be sold elsewhere in the City, and receives in return a lease of the premises and fees for five years from the 1st January, 1879. The premises are comiKodious and well adapted for the purpose and when complete, will be an asset of at least $6,000 or $7,000 to the Corporation. This ends our narrative of the market buildings, and when an abattoir or public slaughter house has been erected the system will be complete, and will excel, as it now does, any other market system on the continent. People are daily supplied and at first cost with all kinds of produce and they are not slow in appreciating this invaluable boon to the community, as is proved by the thoTuands who daily throng the market thoroughfares. Visitors should make a note of the markets, as they are a leading feature of the Capital. ,,,,.^ ,, < City Registry Office. — The Registration Division of the City of Ottawa was separated from the County of Carleton Registration Division in March, 1864.

The present commodious aid hand- some building was erected in the year 1873, and is similar in desi;^n to all Regis- try Offices in the Province of Ontario. It is built of white brick with cut Jimc- stone facings, and is provided with iron doors, irou shutters, and stone floor. Each of the three divisions of the office is arched over with brick, every detail in the building being designed to make it effectually safe I'roni firo, and a safe deposit for the valuable papers and boijks contained iu the office. Mr. Donald Masson, of the City of Ottawa, was the contractor ; tlie cost of the building being about $12,000. Mr. Thomas Sproule. (nepliew of Mr. John P. A. Sproule, for many years Dcputy-Uegistrar of the County of Carleton), was the first Deputy under Mr. Burritt, he hold the position till December, 1871, when Mr. Thomas Ci. itothwell received hi- i>ommis.sion as Deputy and remair.el in office till suc- ceeded by the present incumbent Mr. Kingsforth (Jriburn, in March, 1874, to whom the author is indebted for many favors while seeking for information in connection with the early settlement of the City. The surrouiidirg-i of the office are not yet finished, a neat iron railing enclosing the premises b^ing still required. On the completion of the conlcmplated improvements the building will take its rank with (he massive County buildings in its immediate vicinity. The building consists of three rooms or divisions, namely: — The vault, for the safe keeping of the valuable books and p.ipors balonging to the office ; the middle or copying room, each instrument when registered b'^ing cnpied in full in the respective books ; the remaining and front room is for the use of the public. Many of the oldest docnmer.ts of this section of the Province of Ontario are deposited in the vault of the office, the earliest being dated as far back as June 1812. The office is open d'lily (Sundays and Bank Holidays excepted) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Peuistrar, Mr. liuriitt, is the grandson of a U. K. Loyalist, who first settled in Ccnneetieut, in the New England St;ites, but on the breaking out of the American revolution, took sides with the king, and after the war ended fled to Canada, taking up land granted him at a place 'uljoining the Bideau Canal, in this County, and since known as liurritt'.s Bipids, in honor of its first settler. This was in the year ]71i;5, and may be considered one of the earliest settlements in the County of Carleton, with the growth and prosperity of which none are more idcntiiiid than the Burritt family. The Police Court. — The City does not yet own a building of its own for this purpose, and has, since the demolition of the old Cily Hall, leased the old B.'iptist Church which has been fitted up and made suit:ible for the wants of those who transgress the law and the guardians of the peace. The basement has been fitted up with cells in such a maimer as to sep:ir,ite i;;ale and femule prisoner?, and every precaution taken as to ventilation, which was such a source of trouble in the old City Hall. There is a sitting room also in the basement for the use of the men of the force, when off duty. On the first floor is the Court rooiu, a large and spacious room well adapted for the purpose. To the right of the main entrance is the office of the Chief of I'olicc and on the left the room of the Detective. The force as reorganized lately consists of the following men ; — Chief, A.

The Ciiurt House. — The County Buildings are situated on a fine block of land, bounded by Daly, Nicholas and Wilbiud streets, in St. George's Ward, and include the Court House, (iaol and Registry Ollico. The Court House occupies the Central position facing both Daly and Nicholas streets, and is a handsome building of blue limestone with finJy cut dressings of the same material. In it are the otHces for all the civil and legal officials of the County, together with handsome court rooms and a chamber for the Municipal olHcers. The building was constructed in 1871, at a cost of ^("'0,000, IVoni plans prei)ared by Mr. Surtces, at the time a Member of the Council. U\ design, it is simple but cfiective, having two wicgs connected by a somewhat projecti.ig centre, in which is the main entrant .>, surmounted by a handsome pediment over which stands a statue of Justice. It is heated throughout with steam, ijnd lighted with gas, and the offices are each supplied with the most modern improvemeut.«, including fire-proof vaults and costly otttcc furniture. The Jail. — The prison adjoins the Court House, having its main front on Nicholas street. It was designed by Mr. Horsey, and like the Court House is a strong and substantial structure excelling aiiything of its kind in the Dominion. The cost of its construction was about $1)0,000, and for a long time it was regarded as the Model Prison of the Country, it contains accommodation for 9() prisoners. A r'oam apparatus heats it in every part and water is supplied to the whole building. The only execution that has occurred since its erection, was that of Whelan, for the murder of the late Hon. Thomas D'Aicy McGee. The majority of the prisoners confined, arc in for comparatively light offences ; and among tjie males, their labor is utilized at wood cutting, stone breaking and such Hke work, while the females arc employi^d at teasing oakum and knitting. Mr. Alex. Powell is at present governor of the institution, and is assisted in his duties by two turnkeys and a matron. County Eechstwy Office. — The Registry Office for the County of Carleton is situated on the north-east angle of the site set apart for the County Buildingi?, facing Daly street. It is built of dressed limestone and its style of architecture is in keeping with the Court House adjoining it. The building was erected in 1875 at a cost of about $12,000. After the burning of the old Court House in 187", the old Registry Office, that stood at the corner of Nicholas and of tlu the di II lade cost, Whei OlTAWA. — PlACKS of InTEKEST. 43 t on \n a linion. irdcd 96 10 the was The and d such Mr. duties inty of County stylo of ing was Id Court lias and Daly streets was demolished so as not to hide the front view of the new County Buildings. The Registry Office was located in Richmond for the old Dalhousie District, but after the incorporation of BytowQ and the making a distinct County of Carlcton, it was removed to the County-town, Mr. Geo. Thcw Burfce, being Registrar. The first Registrar was Levius P. Sherwood, appointed in 1824 ; George Thew Burke, succeeded in 1843 ; then J. Smith in 1854; and the late Edward Sherwood in 185G. The present incumbent is W. H. Waller, behaving been appointed in 1877. The Office at the present time is in a most systematic and orderly condition. At the request of Mr. Waller the County Council renovated the office and put in new furniture, book shelves, map cases, and Water Works. The books too, which had become more or less dilapidated, were all bound anew. There arc about 50,0(10 instruments in the Office any one of which can bo procured at a moment's notice. There are 160 books of reference and 128 maps pertaining to the Connty. The business cf the office requires the assistance of a Deputy-Registrar and one or two copyists. The present efficient Deputy is C. W. Pole, who is an appointee of the late Mr. Sherwood. The following dates of property patented in the several townships of the County will not only give th3 reader an idea of how old some of the papers are, but also an inkling of how early the respective municipalities were .settled : — ; ,, Marlborough, (Co'.

Basilica. — The Basilica, formerly known as Notre Dame Cathedral is one of the lai-gcst and most imposing church edifices in the city, and has lately, under the direction of Bishop Duharael, had extensive and costly internal improvements made that have materially enhanced the appearance of the building. Tt has cost, with its repeated improvements something in the neighborhood of $75,000. When enlarged as now anticipated it will exceed its present size by fully a third j 0\ 44 Ottawa. — t*LACE8 of IntkuksT. the alterations it is estimated will cost nearly $100,000. The design is Gothic on continoutal models, the interior consisting of ii nave 200 feet by 72 feet with side aisles divided fioni it by clustered columns. At the eiist end is the sfinctu- ary 40 by 50 feet, and eomiecled with the nave by a handsome arched opening. A fine organ loft occupies the west end of the building containing a splendid instrument which is built in two parts and so constructed that either or both sections can be be used by the organist at pleasure. An extensive crypt underlies the whole building, which will be greatly enlarged. It is now used for special services, confessional purposes, class meetings and Kcturcs. In a vault under the south-western tower are the remains of the late Bishop Guigues, the first Bishop of the Diocese. He was interred there on the lith day of February 1874. 8t. Joseph's Church. — This Roman Catholic church is situated on Wilbrod street, Sandy Hill, under the charge of the Feres Oblatx. and is attended by a mixed congregation of the English and French speaking portions of the |)op7ila- tion. It is a neat buikiing of blue limestone having its front on Wilbrod street. Without any great pietcnsion as to finish or size, it has been designed on strict architectural rules and both in exterior and interior cannot fail to pic.isc the educated eye. It is seated for about 1500 and contains a good organ. An excellent choir always in good training, is supplied from the congrtgation, and the adjoining University. It was built in li;57 and enlarged in 1H6G and has cost about 820,000, Rev. Father Pallier is at present the parish priest. ):'(' St. Patrick's Church. — This tine church is not yet completed, but when the original design is carried out by the architect Mr. Arnoldi, it will compare favorably with most church edifices in the city. It is situated on the corner of Gloucester and Kent streets in Wellington Ward, and owes its inception and completion to the untiring exertions of the Rev. Father Collins its former pastor. It was commenced early in the spring of 18G8 and the style is English gothic. There will be a clear storey rising above the aisle walls, and the extreme length of the building will be 195 fett and the width 7G feet. The height of the spire from the ground will be 204 feet. The temporary tower contains a magnificent bell. The Rev. Dr. O'Coanor is the present partor of the congregation. St. Jean Baptiste Church. — This church is a simple wooden structure erected on Queen street at the Chaudierc, where there is a considerable French population, and is capable of accommodating 500 persons. It was originally built for a row of tenement houses and being in a crowded part of the city, where a great deal of rough work was going on, soon became the residence of an undesir- able set of characters. Under these circumstances it was purchased by the Fabiique, cleared of its then inmates, the buildings were gutted and thrown into one and with little alteration in the main frame work it was converted into a church of respectable appearance, to the great joy of the neighborhood. The Rev. Father Fraucceur is parish priest.

It is a simple looking building of blue limestone, roughly dressed and laid in rubble work. The interior consists of a nave and two aisles with galleries, holding in all about 1000 persons. It was erected in 1842 at a cost of some $8000. The interior finishings are in general of the plainest, but where any attempt at ornament has been made it is of u light unsubstantial and rather gnudy character. The Bishop's Chapel. — This church now designated the Church of St. John the Evangelist, occupies a very beautiful site at the south-east angle of what is known as the Major's Field, and was only erected provisionally, the idea being to erect a large English Cathedral on the vacant ground at the corner of Sussex and Eideau streets, an effort in which we hope to see Episcopalians very .soon successful. It was constructed originally to serve the double purpose of a school house and place of worship for members of the AnglioLm Church in the eastern section of the city. It has of late been considerably etilnrged to meet the wants of its growing congregation and is the church ordinarily frequented by the Anglican Bishop, who now resides in Ottaw.i. The interior is finished in imita- tion walnut and the ptws aro all open. It is of simple gothic in its style of architecture and cost with rocsnt alditions about $7,000. The Bev. H.

It was dcsignedjby Mr, Arnoldi, of Ottawa, and though of small dimensions presents a good appearance. In its size it is only 80 feet by H5, with sittings for about 200. The style employed is Gothic, the material limestone with cut dressings of the same. Its cost was about $6,000. In this church is a handsomely carved stone conmiunion tabic, the only article of the kind in the city. In the basement of the building, rooms are provided for the custodian of the church. This may be said to complete the list of all churches in the city with the exception of the German Lutheran church at the coiner of King and Wilbrod streets on Sandy Hill, and the French Presby- terian church that holds its meetings in the M.

There is also the French Methodist (Jhurch, corner Bridge and Queen streets, Chaudiere, under the pastorate of Rev. John iSyvret. OTTAWA LADIES' COLLEGE. This institution, incorporated by Act of Parliament in 18(59, was established to meet the desire expressed by many earnest Protestant gentlemen to have a first-class education put within the reach of the young ladies of the City of Ottawa and surrounding country. The basis of the institution while decidedly religious and Protestant, is nonsciitarian. A thorougli training is afforded in all the branches of an English Classical and Scientific education, and in the Modern Languages and the Fine and Useful Arts, to those who desire these accomplish- ments. In the course of instruction and the use of text book.s, the faculty conforms as far as possible .„ tlie requirements and usages of the High Schools of the Piovince of Ontario, and University College, Toronto. The College is the property of a chartered Joint Stock Company, (Hmited liability) controlled by a Board of Managers who are elected by the Stock- holders, at a meeting held on the first day of July in each year. The College Building is situated on Albert Street in the Western part of the City of Ottjiwa, in a high and healthy locality, with ample room for play grounds, commanding a beautiful and extensive view of the river and surrounding country. Tho Building, which was erected for the purpose, is a substantial stone edifice, four stories high, with airy corridors, and commodious school-rooms and sleeping apartments. Every attention has been given to ventilation, and the whole building is heated by hot water pipes. There is accommodation for one hundred boarders, who will find every necessary comfort provided, with bath-rooms and closets on each floor. There is a (lymnasium in connection with the institution, and regular Culisthenic exercises are provided for the pupils. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. There arc three departments in the Institution. 1.

This Convent and Educational Seminary for young ladies is situated on Gloucester street, south side, between Elgin and Metcalfe streets, a most desirable location and materially improved in its surroundings since its establishment. It is a superior structure, built of Trenton limestone from the Gloucester quarries, and was designed by Mr. John Bowes, architect, under whose efficieut guidance one of the handsomest edifices in the city has been coDstructod. The chapol is one of the leading features of the inside of the building, which is tastefully fitted up, efapecially the altar ; in fact all the apartments are spacious, well furnished, and commodious. This institution is under the direction of the ladies of the Congregation, (being the first religious order among nuns of Canadian origin), having been founded by the Venerable Margaret Bourgpois, in the year 1G56 when DeMaissoneuve was Governor General, and this a French Colony. The worthy lady who founded the order was last year, 1878, proclaimed by the church and in due time will bo canonized as a saint. There arc now throughout Canada 92 establishments, in successful working order, belonging to this Canadian com, munity, and doing excellent work in the educational mission, that their first Lady Superior intended they should perform. The mother establishment is at Ville Marie in the vicinity of Montreal, in a building which was at one time occupied by Lord Elgin as a residence, when ho was Governor General and Montreal the Seat of Government. The branch in Ottawa was organized in 1868, under the patronago-of the late Bishop Guigues, and in charge of Sister St.^Gabricl, who has ever since so ably presided over the institution as Superioress.

Its central situation aflfords ample facility for the speedy acquisition and thorough knowledge of Engliflh, and French ; These languages arc equally spoken in familiar conversation. The course of study is complete, and the Gold Medal and i)iploma are conferred on the young lady who graduates. The Scholastic year begins on the Ist September and finishes on 1st July. Pupils arc admitted at any time during the year. The course of instruction is comprehensive and extensive, and the system of searching examination at regular periods ensures an excellent review of the work done, as well as an accurate test of the progress made. In these exnminations the institution has the benefit of the Professors of the College of Ottawa, and the Professors of the Normal School. There is a special class for the instruction of young ladies who intend to compete for second class certificiites. The scientific part of this course has been in charge of Dr. Baptie of the Normal School. Sister St, Gabriel with a staff of twcnly assistants of the ladies of the congregation, huve charge of the various classes and subjects, and these lady professors discharge the duties devolving upon them with a heroism that is truly praiseworthy ; aad as a result of their endeavors wo find many works of art in needlework and painting, adorning the boudoirs and walls of the convent. An average of over 100 young ladies are in daily attend- ance, a large per centage of whom are regular boarders in the institution. For terms etc., see advertisement on another page. The course of study comprises Elementary English, and French with Ancient and Modern History, Literature, Botany, Astronomy, Natural History, Chemistry, Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Algebra, Geometry, Music, Drawing, Pointing, Embroidery, etc. The science of Domestic Economy is also made a specialty in the institution. The many advantages which the institution thus possesses for imparting a superior education, the care t.iljen for the refinement and accomplishment of mind and body must commend it to those parents who are desirous of affording their daughters a good education. The institution is well worthy of a visit from strangers and visitors who may have occasion, during the approaching Fair, to visit the Capital. It has notably received the attention of many distinguished visitors already since its establishment. The late Apostolic Delegate while on a clerical visit to America accorded it his patronage as did also Lord and Lady Dufferin. His Excellency the Marquis of Lornc and her Royal Highness the Princess Louise have several times visited the Institution, the latter on one occasion subjecting the classes to a critical examination in the subjects taught. ^ NOTRE DAME DU SACRE CCEUR CONVENT. This Literary Institute for the education of young ladies is the oldest cstablish- of its kind in the city and was founded here as early as 18-45, at which date four sisters came from the parent institution of the Grey Nuns in Montreal, and under the late lady superior, Mother Bruyere, opened under the patronage of the late Bishop Guigues, an establishment in a frame building on St. Patrick street, adjoining the present Bishop's Palace. Their particular mission was teaching and works of mercy, and under their direction the General Hospital was estab- lished and now owes its maintenance and great success, us do also the orphanages and usyluus, subsequently established. In 1849 the Literary Depurtiueat was 60 Ottawa. — Places of Interest. opened under the direction of Sister Thercse, with the assistance of Sister Nativity and othei' htdies of tlie order. In 1850 the new convent on Sussex street (now old) was opened under the most favorable auspices, and the patronage accorded it soon placed it on the highway to success. The requirements of the institution now became such, that more commodious premises were required, and hence the Literary Institute was in 1869 removed to its present building at the junction of Eideau and Ottawa streets, being entirely sepurated from the other departments of the Convent. The appreciation of the zealous efforts of Sister Theresc and her assistants after removal here, was so great and the attend- ance of young ladies had become so large, that increased facilities had to bo provided to keep pace with the growing necessities of the institution, and as a result, the handsome new three storey wing of white brick was completed a year or two ago. It is situated in one of the most healthy and agreeable localities of the city, and a noticeable feature in this connection is the entire absence of sickness among the young ladies ever since its removal to its present site in 1869. The attending physician attributes this to the salubrity of the locality the cleanli- ness and perfect ventilation of the rooms and to its admirable system of drainage. ItB apattmenta throughout are spacious, well furnished and comfortably heated. COURSE OF STUDIES. By its situation in the Capital, the Young Ladies' Literary Institute necessarily affords unusual advantages for the acquisition of a thorough knowledge of the two current languages of the country. The Entire Course, including Composition, Rhetoric, Geography, History, the Physical Sciences, Moral Phil- osophy, Mathematics and Bookkeeping, are taught in English and French. Drawing, Vocal Music in class, Harmony, Plain and Ornamental Needle work, Culinary Art, and Domestic Economy are included free, with the entire course in French and English. For particulars as to terms etc., see advertisement in another page. Sister Therere with a staflF of 17 assistants have charge of the various classes and extra subjects of the series. The students enjoy unprecedented advantages for the understanding and artistic develoyment of the principles and practice of music. Sister Nativity, who with Sisters McMillan and Mongenais, have this department in charge, spare no pains in their attention to young ladies, many of whom have already evinced a high degree of proficiency in the art of music. Every facility is aflForded for music as for the other fine arts, in order that the students may attain in these branches of a perfect education, the highest puccesfl. The most approved system of pianoforte technujue and harmony is followed. The scholastic year is divided into two sessions of five months each — the first beginning with September, and the second with February. In the course of the year there are three general examinations held, respectively, at Christmas, at Easter and at the close of the second session. At the end of the several examinations, a report of the progress, deportment and health of ea«h pupil is sent to the parents or guardians. The Professors of the University have frequently examined the classes, and signified their approval of the solidity of the instruction received by the young ladies. The annual Distribution of PrizeB takes place after the last examination. Vacation then begins and coutiaaos till OrrAWA. — Pi-Aoics of Intkukst. 61 September. The special facilities afforded by this institution for acquiring such a Christian Education as is r-markable at once for its solidity and refinenteiit had lorg characterized the " Young Ladies' Literary Institute of Ottawa " as an Educational Establishment of the highest order. The efficiency of the Commun- ity of iVo<7e Dame rfjt ^Saer^ I'ceur, in their capacity of teachers so honorably attested by the position which the institution has hitherto enjoyed in public estimation, amply accounts for the distinguished success of their pupils. UNIVERSITY, HIGH AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. of 18 tui University op Ottawa. — The University of Ottawa, conducted by the Oblat« Pather.s, began with the infancy, and has grown with the growth of the city. Established in 1848 by the Right Rev. J E. Guigues, D. D., first Bishop of Ottawa, it was entrusted to the care of Rev. Father Tabaret, 0. M. I., D. D., and under his presidentship has attained its present state of prosperity. Amenity of site, purity, elasticity and salubrity of air, may recommend it to every parent that consults the health of bis children. Nor are the appendages and interior of the establishment less contributi^'e to health than the place and climate. Out-doors, spacious grounds for base ball and other sports, with a gymnasium, and recreation hall; within, well aired halls, a successful heating- apparatus, bathe, infirmary, with a doctor in daily attcr^^'.ance, an elegant chapel — to say nothing of the wholesomoness and sufficiency of the diet — combine to turn the stern character of a college life mto the comfort of a veritable home. The country house and its extensive park where the collegians occasionally spend their holidays, lie at some distance fr(>u) the oit^, in a secluded spot on the banks of theRideau. i " i. •• 63 Ottawa. — Places of Tntehest. The College of Ottawa, studying the requirements of the ago, hns improved upon the old scholastic nicthodt^, and thus opened n now era in the history of college education in this country, the traditional curriculum of Classics and Literature, suflBcient formerly, and for certain classes of society, must now come to a compromiso with the changes of a woi Id that is ever changing, and take into account the enormous increase of knowledge, wilh the inventions and dis- coveries, that call for new methods of teaching and new programnies for the subject-matters of study. With the fountains of science that have been opening all on through this century, new intellectual tastes have been created, minds have taken new tones and turns ; and new lights must be fed, new tastes cultivat- ed, novelties of all kinds cropping up from the store of nature must be welcomed and studied, as so many fresh teetimouies to the untold riches of its author. Full of this idea, the venerable President seconded by the devotedness of the Fathers, has succeeded in making this a Modern College — modern in the full sense of the term — the object sought being- to qualify young men for the new state of things, and precisely for that profession to which they are individually drawn either by choice or by necessity. , If the Classical Course is to occupy the first place, it is given to its full extent. The treasures of four languages are thrown open for the ambition of the young mind. English, the official language of the College, receives special care. It is not only the language of translation from the Classical tongues and the French, but it is taught upon an elaborate system up through the two courses, Commercial and Classical Synthesis, Synopsis, and the various kinds of Analysis are taken first in their elementary forms, then gradually developed step by step with the advance of the pupil, who, in Rhetoric, is prepared to reduce an oration of Demosthenes, Cicero, Burke, or Bourdalone, to its leading ideas, pointing out the arguments, arrangement, what is elegant in diction and striking in thought, &c., &o. The various branches of Mathematics are associated with the study of the Classics Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Mineralogy and Geology hive each its class. The sciences that have sprung up almost in our own life time, command the attention of the learner not only by the wonders and beauties with which they tfiem, but by their uses in practical life. No man, clerk or laic, can decline acquaintance, more or less intimate with them, as strangers in the school-room. The student in Physics and Chemistry is taught the use and manipulation of the various instruments in the Physical cabinet aai the LaboratOiy. Nor can a polite education exclude the Fine Arts. Music has been long and successfully cultivated in this College, and painting is now rapidly following in its wake. Specimens in the latter art have been prepared for the present Exhibition at Ottawa. The Museum which has been at last completed with great taste, shows numerous specimens in Ornithology, Zoology, Geology, Mineralogy and Numis- matics, The Museum in its new and perfect form, along with its contents, is due to the kindness and generosity of the friends of the College in all classes and creeds.

An extensive knowledge of things and languages is by no means the greatest advantage of a college life. It is the discipline of the mind that calls for the highest efforts of tlie teacher, and which will be more serviceable to the student when he comes to battle with the world. His suoceas in any position in life will depend upon the mentul power which was communicated by a special training. To be taught from the first years of his academic career to find a reason for every thing that comes undci; his observation, to analyse, to compare, to diflori- minate, to classify, and to perform many other intellcctusl operations — this is the exercise that gives health and nerve to the mind, and fits for future manliness and independence, when failure or opposition threaten to crush, prosperity or pleasure to enervate. To keep this ingredient of teaching before the eyes of the Professors, is the grand object and effort of the far-seeing President. To this must be ^dded a continual endeavour to interest the pupil : this is done in a con- siderable degree by variety in study, especially by the sciences mentioned, and by the devotedness of the teacher. This is the only Canadian College that gives a course of Civil Engineering, and with what success this course has been taught will appear from the readiness with which the students, when their studies close, fall into employment in the line which they have chosen. If a college ought to form its curriculum with a view not only to the amenities of literature, but also to the stern duties of life, the art of surveying, with all its kindred arts, must claim the attention of educa> tors all over this western world. That College would reach perfection, which from its secluded precincts could open an avenue to every department of business in the outer world. As one step more towards such perfection at least as is attainable in education, and to provide at home the means of developing native taste and talent for such a pursuit, Civil Engineering was a few years ago made the third course. The Commercial Course may be followed either for its own sake, or as preparatory for either of the higher Courses. It includes English, French, and ^uch portions of the sciences as can be easily taken in by youthful minds. The study of Philogophy receives its just measure of attention. When the student has mastered the sciences of nature's phenomena and of the beautiful, he is prepared to ascend to a higher sphere, and study the faculties and operations of his own mind, the various problems of life, and the attributes of the Divine Being. Suffice it to say on this subject, that no education is complete without this loftier knowledge, for it most intimately concerns every man, and f^tliisheB topics of conversation in the daily intercourse of society. As the various sciences are continually brought into contact with the principles of philosophy, the man wlio has mastered the two thus in contact, will be able to compare, and draw his own conclusions, But Philosophy itself must borrow light from Religion, as Keligion takes light from Philosophy. Therefore religious instruction is deliver- ed to the studeuts in a graduated course ; their young miuds receive a thoroughly fi m OrrAWA. — Pi.ACKs op Intkrkrt. roIigiouH tone, nnJ aro tlius prepared to preserve that integrity of life ami purity of luortilw, which iit once adorn and ceuu'ot (Jhrihtiin nociety.

Tous les cours se font eu anglais, ct cette particularitd que quclques uns, fort bien intcntionnds d'aillours, regardcnt commc regrettable, constitue dans I'apprdciation des RR. P^rcs Oblats qui dirigent le College, pr^cisdment cc qui devrait le recommander d, 1 attention du public canadien. L'opinion a 6t6 souvent dmise, et ello est appuyte sur mille faits, qu'une des causes fdcondes qui empechent nos jeunes compatriot^s de trou- ver de ravanccmont, c'est le ddfaut de coanaissance de la langue anglaiso. Un pas immense a 6ti fait depuis quelqucs anndes dans oettc direction, mais il resto beaucoup k fuire. Etant constats le fait qu'on ne devient pas anglais prdcisdment parcequ'on sait cette langue, nous osons dire quo la connaissance parfaite do la langue anglaise chez nos compatriotes, est un des raoyens les plus capables d'as- surer la part d'influence que nous avons ddjiV dans les affaires du pays et d'aug- menter cette influence. C'est dans cette conviction quo les RR. PP. Oblats ont dtabli leurs cours en anglais, et qu'ils demandent leur part d'encouragcment, en retour des sacrifices dnormes qu'ils ont faits et qu'ils sont encore prCts i^ faire. 11 n'y a peut-fitre pas une institution au Canada oii nos jeunes compatriotes se fami- liariscnt si vite aveo la langue anglaise qu'au CoUdge d'Ottawa. Avec ccci la langue frangaise n'est pas ndgligte, mais est enseigndo Fur un pied d'dgalitd avec les autres institutions du pays.

The first attempt to reduce education to a regular system under the Provincial Act was made in 1855, after the incorporation of the City, the first Board being com- posed as follows : Chas. Sparrow, (chairman), Lyman Perkins, Roderick Ros.w, James }3urkc and Patrick lieilly, with Alexander Workman as first Superinten- dent, a position which he held for five years, ^[r. Workman retired in 1800, having been elected Mayor that year, and was succeeded by Wm. Cousens who held tho office for a period of ten years, being relieved, owing to a change in the Act relating to the qualifications for the position, by the Jiev. II, J. Borthwick, M.A., who was succeeded after five years by Mr. J. C. Glashan, the present Inspector of Public Schools, The following are the names of the schools and the numlwr of teachers employed : Central School Eiut. — Principal Smirl and a staff of two male and three female assistants. Central School West. — Principal Parlow and a stafl' of three male and flvc female assistants. Wellington Ward Primary. — Principal Robertson and a staff of one male and &ur female assistants. St. George^ Ward Priman/ Principal Munro and a staff of five female assistants, Victoria Ward Primary. — Principal Lee and a staff of four female assistants. By Ward Primary, — Principal .Johnston and a staff ol' two female assistants, Ottawa Ward Primary. — Principal Tubman and a staff of two femaje assistants. The total number of pupils registered for the year ending .31st December, 1(378, was 3,045: of these 1,652 were boys and 1,393 girls, and for the whole ycur there is an average daily attendance of l,()3ri. The highest salary paid a mile teacher is ^1,000 and the lowest $G00. Tlic highest paid a female teacher is §450 and the lowest «200, It took $4,005.80 to pay the officials in 1878 and over $17,000 to liquidate the salaries of teachers. For the current year, the fol- lowing are the members of the Board of Public School Tmstces : Hiram Robin- son, (chi.it"man), and Messrs. P. LeSuour. Vj. l\. Bronson, E, C. Barber, J. H. P. Gibson, John Graham, S, W. H. Baldwin, Thos. H. Kirby, D. Mowat, and C. S. Shaw, Wm. Ilea is Secretary oJ' the Bouid, Fred. Davis, Truant Officer, and John McCarthy, messenger. 74 Ottawa. — Places of Interkist. K.C. Separate Schools. — Owing to the comingjiuto operation of the Separate School Act of 185(5, the school system was again shaken by the M'ithdrawal of Roniaa Catholics and the formation of a distinct Board, of which tlio lato Wm. Ring was the lirst Soo.-Troasurer, and John Brown the fir.'Jt Collector, and Rov. Dr. O'Connor the first Superintendent. The schools have not progressed very satisfactorily, and tiic school buildings have been inferior tu those of the Public Schools. There are indications, however, of more activity witliin the last two years, and the result will be eagerly watched by all true IViends of education. The number of teachers employed last year was thirty-five, of which fifteen wore sisters of the Grey Nuns, two lay teachers, and eighteen from the religious order of the Christian Brothers. The officers of the lioard at present are J. W. Peachy, (chairman), llev. M. J. Whelan, A. Evanturel, A. Aubry, J. C. Enright, IL (i. llochc, P. A. Kgleson, Martin Battle and Seraphim Champagne ; L. TassiJ, Secretary ; Wm. Finlay, Treasurer; and Robert O'Jleilly, Superintendent. There is an average daily attendance of about 2,000 pupils in the Separate Schools. HOSPITALS AND ASYLUMS. The Protestant Hospital.— This institution occupies a fine site on Sandy Hill, at the eiist end of Ridcau street, overlooking the Rideau River, in a salubrious and elevated position. The institution was commenced many years since for the benefit of the Protestant sick of Central Canada, and has all through mainly had to depend on private voluntary subscriptions for its maintenance. The original building of stone having grown too small for the requirements of the institution, the hospital, has been removed to new premises adjoining the old one the latter being reserved for contagious diseases. The new building, only partially constructed, presents a handsome appearance, being of white brick four stories in height, with a principal entrance from Rideau street under a handsome stone pediment. In the preparation of its plans every care has been taken to employ the most approved methods for the comfort and sanitary advantages of its inmates. Besides its tine wards, it has a number of private rooms for patients which can be had for an almost nominal charge. Its medical stafl' comprises the leading Physicians of the City. George Hay is President, Alexander Workman Treasurer, and Wm. Cousens, Secretary of the institution. The General Hospital. — This institution the property of the Roman Catholic church, and under the charge of the Grey Nuns, is situated on Bolton street, in an extensive block of plain stone buildings three and a half stories high, with a frontage on Bolton street of 130 feet by 40 feet, in depth. It has fifteen private rooms for invalids wishing ibr such apartments, and accommodation for 120 patients in the wards. Its medical staff consists of Dr. Hill, consulting phy- sician, Dr. St. Jean, Dr. Lynn, Dr. McDonnell and Dr. Robillard. Protestant Orphan's Home — This institution for charitable purposes was founded several years ago through the philanthropy of a number of leading ladies ol" ihe City, who found a want for some such place of refuge for children of Protestant parents, who had been left orphans and dependent upon tlie charity of the community. It is situated on Allwrt street, adjoining the Congregational OriAWA Business Grii>E. 75 high, irposcs Iciidiujj; (ren of irity of lit ion ill The Canadian Express Company Have opened an Office in the Main Exhibition Building, opposite the Post Office, At which receipts will be given for all goods relumed by Express, By tills iirrangcmcnt much trouble and expense in seeking ronveyances, «kc.j will bo Haved.

'J'liero are hoiuo 40 or 50 orphans now in the Home, besides souio aged ladies found to be in a helpless and destitute condition. Strangers visiting the City would do well to call and drop their mite in support of so desir.ible an insti- tution. Mrs Fraser is in charge as matron and superiutendent. St. Patrick's Orphan Asylum. — This institution is situated at tho corner of Hugh and Maria streets, and is designed mainly for the supportof destitute orphans of Irish Koman Catholic parents. Its good works have not been confined however to the young only, as a nuii)ber of helpless old people find a comfortablo resting place within its walls. Its principal support is from voluntary contribu- tions, and wlien first started its means in the extreme. With growing wants, however, its substance has increased, and the corporation is now owner of a fine stone building, with spacious wards, corridors and pluy grounds. The Rev. Dr. O'Connor takes a warm interest in the institution, which owes much of its success to his untiring exertions on its behalf. Mr. D.iniel O'Cpimoi- is President, and Jl. Devlin, Secretary of the Board of management. In addition tn this, there is the St. Joeph's Or[)han Asylum serving a similar purpose. It was established in 1800 by the (!rey Nuns, who have a fine institu- tion erected on the cornei' of Sussex and Cathciirt street. They have also under their charge the St. Charles Asylum, for the aged, on Water .street. All these institutions are well worthy the support of the community, who have little idea of the care and anxiety experienced in their mmagement. In addition to the foregoing, there are in the City the following societies formed for benevolent purposes ; St. Cleorge's Society, St. Andrew's Society, St. I'atrick's Society, Irish Protestant Benevolent Society, St. Jean Baptiste Society, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society, all doing good work in relieving the poor in their respective circles of Society. CITY POST OFFICE, CUSTOMS HOUSE, &c . The local ofiices under the Dominion (iovcrnment, are the Post OflSce, Cus- toms House, Excise Office, and office of the Ottawa River Works, all of which are located in the now Post Office building, lying between Sparks and Wellington streets, and facing tho Kideau canal, at the base of a triangle formed by the Sappers' and Dufferin bridges. The building occupies one of the finest sites in the tity and presents an imposing appearance. It is built throughout of neatly dressed Ohio sandstone, tiiree stories high, and is surmounted with a mansard roof, th<^ cost of the .structure with site being about $200,000. The building is of a handsome design, being a mixture of the liomanesque and Italian renais- sance; the carving upm the .'tone work being very artistic. The plan was pre- pared by W. Chesterton, architect of this city, who also superintended the erection of the structure, which was commenced in 1872 and completed in 187G, Over the main front rises a fine tower, in which a beautiful clock has just been placed. The edifice contains fire-proof vaults throughout, and its internal arrangements are of such a character as to greatly facilitau.'; thf; transaction of business in the several departments. The other offices are those of the Kideau oanal, Gas in- 78 Ottawa. — Places of Intkbicst. speotor, and Inspector of weighte and measures, whioli arc temporarily located io rented buildings in other parts of the city. City Vo,: Office. — The postal service of the 'city dates as far back as 1828, when Matt".iew Connell was made first postmaster. lie was succeeded by Capt. Baker who held the position until 1857, when his son, G. P Baker, the present postmaster received the appointment. The original office was first opened on Kidoau street, not fjir from Sussex, on the north side of the street, but was removed by Capt, Baker to his residence on Wellington street, not far from the wholesale wiireiiouse of Edward McCiillivray. In I860 it was removed to the Russell House block, and by the present postmaster to tin site now occupied by the Free Press printing establishment, where it remained until tho opening of the new building on the 1st of May, 187G. As late as 1852, the present postmaster was the only clerk in the ofticc and did the entire work, whereas now there are 39 clerks, (exclusive of the postmaster and assistant postmaster), including 12 letter carriers, two collectors, and a messenger. Mr. Frank Hawken, the Assis- tant-Postmaster, to whom we are indebted for much information, has raised himself from an ordinary clerkship to his present position, by the zeal and assiduity displayed in the discharge of any duties entrusted to him. The collec- tors make 3 collections daily, (at 8 o'clock a, m., 12 o'clock in., and 8 o'clock p. m.,) from the 22 letter boxes placed at difierent points in the city. The street letter boxes and free postal delivery, both came into operation in 1875, and have proved an inestimable boon to our citizens.

The total amount of the money order business for the year ending 30th June, 1879, including issues and payments, also the Savings Banks' deposits and withdrawals, was about $18,000,000. Scarcely a dollar was lost during the fiscal year in conducting the business. This is a self supporting branch of the Post Office Department.

Customs lii»usE. — Tliiscity wus tirst made a Port of Entry in 1847, being then known as the Port of Bytown, a nume which it retained until January, 1870, when it was changed to tlio Port of Ottawa. Duncan Graham was the first collector, he having alno acted as collector of ttlide dues until 1854, when he resigned the latter position, tlie fornnr requiring his whole time and attention. His associates in the oflice after 1854 wore John W. Bonacinn, as surveyor ; Alex. Honey, landing w litor ; John Litle, preventltive officer, and .Joseph S. Lee, clerk. Mr. Graham held his position f< r 26 years, baing superannuated in 1873. Zaohariah Wilson, the present collector, succeeded Mr. Gruham, he having, pre- viously been Tieasarer of the County of Carleton. The surveyor was succeeded by Major A. Douglas, who held the position until I8li9, when he was ouperannn- ated, and returned to Scotland, where he afterwards diad at 83 years of age. Mr. Joseph S. Lee was al.so placed ou the retired list, and w.is succeeded by the late Benjamin Gordon, who shortly after was promoted to the position of surveyor, an appointment which he held until his death in 1876. 3[r. Joseph T. Burtram, holding a subordinate position siiuru 1871, w i» next promoted (o tha position of surveyor. In 187(1 the late Chri-topher Carleton was appointed chief landing waiter, a position which he In Id until his death, in June of the presett year. Mr. W. A. MacAgy has for many years been appraiser, a position in which he has given the utmost satisfaction. Of the old staff, Mr. Alex Heney, the chief landing waiter, alone remains, having spent a (juarter of a century now in the servios. The first office was opened in tSparks street, in a building owned by the laif. Robert Kenly, then in Bell's block, Elgin street, and afterwards in Bangs' block on the same street, where a fire occurred doing considerable damage to the records ; but the officials, alive to duty, were soon to work again in McCormick's building on Sparks street. This location not being considered suitable, another move was made to Porter's block, where it remained until removed, in 1876, to the new Customs House. In tlii;^ building every fmility is afforded officiaiiiin the transaction of business. 1 he long room, collector's and surveyor's offices, arc over the Post 0£Eice, and here all entries, &c., are made. The basement of the building contains very fine vaults, which are set apart for bonded goods, and are in charge of Mr. MaoAgy, the appraiser. The staff is at present composed of Z. Wilaon, collector ; J. T. Bartram, surveyor ; W. A. MacAgy, appraiser ; W. S. Kirby, chief clerk ; A. Heney, J. B. Steacy, G. J. Horan, and S. C. Keir, landing waiters ; John McGovem, packer and storeman ; G. R. Johnson, messenger. W. M. ^merville is surveyor of shipping.

This department was instituted in 1864 with Mr. Montgomery as first collector, he was succeeded shortly after by Mr. Boucher, and he in turn by Mr. Alex. Graham, who was transferred in 1873 to the head branch in the inside department, where he remained until his death in the early part of the present year. Thw Excise returns shew an increase from $2,699.34 in 1864, to $172,' 121.12 in 1874, but a slight decrease has occurred since, owing to the great depression that has afflicted the whole country. The cost of maintenance is less than 94,000. The tenitory included in the Ottawa division comprises the Counties of Ottawa and Pontiao in the Province of Quebec ; and in Ontario the Coanties of Oarieton, Russell, and city of Ottawa.

On the south branch — 2,134 lineal feet of slides, and 388 lineal feet of dams, which have within the past few years been abandoned by the Government. The sixth and last tributary of the Ottawa, upon which Government works have been constructed, is the Dv Moine. The length of this river is about 120 miles, and it drains an area of about 1,600 square miles. It flows into the Ottawa from a northerly direction at a point about 160 miles above this c'ty. The works on the 12 stations of this river consist of a pier and retaining boom at its mouth, a single stick slide, and a series of flut dams from the mouth upward. They may be detailed as follows, viz :— 300 lineal feet of slide, 800 lineal feet of boom.s, 1,324 lineal feet of dams, and 6 piers. The whole woiks on the main river and its tributaries amounting in the aggregate to 5,071 lineal feet of cauuls ; 12,335 feet of slides ; 07,799 feet of booms ; 17,791 ftct of dams ; 346 feet of bulkheads ; 2,215 feet of bridges ; 246 feet of glance iriers ; 141 piers ; 10 support piers ; 5 slide keepers' houses ; 3 storehouses, and 1 workshop. Up to the 1st July, 1807, there was expended on the Ottawa alone $290,904.11, and on its tributaries $224,103.99, making a total of $515,068.10 in connection with the entire Ottawa River Works. These works on the 1st of July, 1877, represented a capital for construction alone of $2,838,418.38. The amount of tolls earned that year was $98,258.83, and the amount of dues collected was $102,729.87. There has been a fulling off since owing to the depression in trade. The staff in the Ottawa Works Office at present is composed of G. P. Brophy, Superintendent ; David Scott, Accountant and Clerk of Works, who has held the position for 25 years ; and William Kane, Messenger. REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH. "' " In our notice of the Oity Churches, the above had almost escaped attention. It is a neatly designed structure of white brick with freestone dressings, and situated at the corner of Gloucester and Elgin streets, directly opposite Cartier Square. The design was prepared and the work constructed, under the supervi- sion of Wm. Hodgson, architect of this City, and cost nearly $15,000. It was first opened in March 1874; Bishop Cheney of Chicago preaching the inaugural sermon. This Church owes its origin in a great measure to the liitualistic practises that have crept into the services of the Anglican churches, causing a dissension on the part of those who were desirous of preserving in their simplicity, the forms of church worship as practised by the early Fathers of the Anglican Faith. The late Eev. Dr. Cummings, of the United States, was the founder of this new religious body. The Rev. Johnston McCormac was the first pastor of the congregation, but after the lapse of one year, was succeeded by the Rev. H. M. ColHsson, M.A., who had the pastoral charge for two years. The present incumbent is the Rev. G. W. Huntington. The church is seated for 600 persons, is very commodious and heated with hot air and lighted with gas. There is a large attendance and the success of the church here has been fully established. .^ltl*«t('l|(*tHM|,lt|,M||«l.|l||Ml(t'l|(*ttlMt*M|lt( ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF MAILS. *H*H||rHint.iH,M*,m*fttti (•» 1879 pUMMBR y^F^^NGEMEN-^S. 1879 MAILS.

New Carbiaqe SiIcDs. — To meet the requiroracnts in the can-iage line, two sheds have been erected upon the point near the Machinery building, one 200 feet in length, the otlier 150 feet. The Poultry Sued is placed at the extreme north west angle of the I grounds, lying to the north of the brick dwelling. Its dimensions are 175 x 24 feet, and is provided throughout with coops for caging the poultry exhibited. It has been whitewashed both inside and out, and everything done that may contri- bute to the comfort of its feathered inhabitants. There are 382 coops in the building. Live Stock Accommodation. — In this department every exertion has been put fo/th to minister to the requirementfi of the large number of animals that are being exhibited. Water is obtained at convenient locations, the troughs, kc., being supplied from the City water works. There are 3 stables for horses, two south of the show ring and one north of it, with additional stalls in rear of the Art Gallery. These farnish in all 253 stall? for the accommodation of horses.

Grand Stands and Hing. — We must not omit to mention that spot, to which the great masg of the people will be attracted — the .show ring. It is situated a little to the cast of the main building, and has a double gallery in the centre, through which a massive flagstaflF rises about 80 feet. The lower tier will be occupiel by the judges, and the upper which is reached by a pretty spiral stair case, has been set apait for a baud stand. This can be best viewed front the grand stand to the south-west of the ring, and to which admission is had on the payment of a nominal fee. Association Officks. — The offices of the Association are in a buildiMg 65 X 26 feet, in rear of the brick house, and are occupied by VIr. Craij the secretary, and Mr. Grahim the treasurer, who with their respective staff of assistants, are busily engigodan attending to the executive business of the Arts Association, The bo.ird room for the sittings of the Council is also in this build- ing. There is a small cuttige between the main building and Bank street, containing the office of Mr. Anderson, superintendent of the grounds; and likewise offices for th-i Montreal and Dominion Telegraph Companies, they having provided facilities for the dispatch and receipt of messigos on the grounds. Adjoining this is another sm ill building fitted up for the purpose of a police station. This completes our narrative of the several buildings. The Main building and other structurijs erected in 1875 were designed by Mr. Mather, architect, and erected under the .supervision of Mr. Robt. Whyte,, contractor ; the additions and in proveraents of the present year have all baen made and superin- tended by Mr. R.

Pope, Minister of Agriculture for the Dominion; also 500 gold, silver and bronze medals, by the Dominion Government, in the several departments. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will give a cash Prize of $00 for the best herd of Durham cattle, consisting of one Hull and five females of any age owned by the exhibitor, His Excellency the Governor Gen :ral gives the following special prizes: — An exhibitor receiving the greatest number of First Prizes on Cuttle — a Gold Medal. An exhibitor receiving the greatest number of First Prizes on Horses — A Silver Medal. An exhibitor receiving the greatest number of BMrst Prizes on Sheep and Swine — A Bronze medal. The Hon. J. H. Pope, Minister of Agriculture, will give the following special prizes ; — For the best stallion on the ground, any age or breed, $50. For the best essay on pleura-pneumonia and contagious diseases in cattle, $50. The Dominion Government MedaU , to be awarded at the Dominion Exhibi- tion, are distributed as follows : — In the Agricultural Department, for Live Stock, Impleniontii and Agricultural Products, 25 Gold, 50 Silver and 117 Bronze Medals, In the Horticultural Department, for Fruit, Vegetables, Plants and Flowers, 1 Gold, 1 1 Silver, and 13 Broiizo medals. In the Arts and Manufac- tures Department, 14 Gold, 113 Silve. and 150 Bronze Medals. The entries to date for the Dominion Exhibition in all classes amount to over 12,000. There were 11,012 entries at the Kxhibition last year at Toronto, and only 9,410 entries at the great Industrial Fair just closed in the same city. The number of entries is very large as compared with previous exhibitions, a fact that will prove exceedingly interes-ting to vi:-itors and others who are in attendance at the Great Fair. There were only 7,_'00 entries in Ottawa in 1875. The increase this year, in the agricultural and live stock dopaitmeuts is very large. The band competition promises to be keen, as thore are no less thiu five entries Arom a distance, some of which are from the United States.

McGill Street is the great business thoroughfare of the City, and from its proximity to the principal houses of business, justly entitles The Albion to that large and increasing support it is receiving from the commercial class ; while from its favorable position it commands a magnificent view of the River St. Lawrence, the Victoria Bridge, Victoria Square, and Mount Royal. It possesses every convenience which the travelling community can require, and we trust that our long experience in the business will give confidence to our friends that they will continue to enjoy at The Albion the advantage of a really first-class Hotel, at second- class prices.

Mr. Begg, a Commissioner from Manitoba, will superintend the Mammoth Collection ofJExhibits from that Province. This will be one of the greatest novelties of the Exhibition. Their Honors the Lieut.-Governors of Ontario and Quebec and the Governors of Maine, Vermont and Ohio will be present. , , MmWE T§ YMIT0M&* and Strangers and otlior visitors to the city will fiial ow tliu t'liir Gromida every- thing necessary for their convenience and comfort. Ample re.staiirants and lunch rooms, managed by experienced caterers, and under the .supervision of iIk' Board of Directors, will serve meals and refreshments during tlie hours of Exhibition at reasonable rates. Telegraphic, postal and express faciKties are provided on the grounds, through which all messages, parcels, etc., will be; bcith dispatched and received* POIilCE PROTECTION. Ample preparation has been made for the preservation of the peace :ind pro- tection of strangers from the great influx of pickpockets and sueak thieves that are said now to infest the city. Chief of Police Sherwood has this matter in Aarge md, besides a detachment of the regular force, he has a number of private and experienced detectives and special constables employed for the occasion. We would advise all, however, to keep a sharp lookout for their money, watches, jewelelry and other valuables, and to assist in every instance the authorities in bringing any suspicious characters to account for their thieving propLinsities. GROUNDS' IMPROVEMENTS. A railing has been placed along the b^nk of the eanul, froi;. the outer gate to the entrance on the Elgin street road. Vehicles will not be allowed to pass beyond the first gate, but will leave their passengers at that point. All the stalls have been re-numbered and freshly painted, and present a fine appearance. Good clean straw has been laid in them, which will ensure the comfort of their occupants. The various booths in the Jouncing Hall are being enlarged and re- paired and handsomely decorated. The fence, behind the refreshment stand, which divides the main grounds from the peninsula, has been taken down, making a decided improvement. MOTIVE POWER FOR MACllINERV SUED. This will be a point of interest to visitors. Mr. Hartley has three engines to furnish the necessary power for driving the machinery, one of them being of 125 horse power, a second of 75 horse power, and the third a medium sized donkey engine, which will suffice to supply the water power. THE DOMINION MAP. Visitors to the Exhibition will do well to liave a look at the great Map of the Dominion, which excited so much admiration at the Paris Exposition last year. Col. Dennis, Deputy of the Minister of the Interior, has had it overhauled, and fitted and placed iu the Manitoba Building for the benefit of strangers visit- ing the city. Its dimensions are 30x1 5 feet, and drawn on a scale of ten miles 124 Hints to Visitors. m ' W' M ■li to an inch ; It was compiled and drawn by Mr. John Johnston, chief draughts- man of the Department of the Interior. The work is estimated to be worth 8")000, and this seems a reasonable figure for so elaborate a work. DOMINION PLUMBAGO WORKS, &c. A great source of attraction will be the magnificent display of plumbago by the Dominion Plumb igo Co., in one of the wings of the Main Hall. Some very beautiful exhibits from the phosphate mines of Messrs. II. J. Miller, Stephen Wilkins and J. A, Gemmill, are on view in the same locality. FINE ARTS. In the Arts Department Mr. J. 0. Forbes has some of his fine paintings on Exhibition. He took the prize in Toronto for the best oil portrait in the Fine Ai ts Section. Mr. Ahearn, a rising young artist of this city, has also some fine peices on view. BIBLE SOCIETY. The Committee of the Ottawa Auxiliary Bible Society have a splendid assort inent of Bibles, &c., &c., on exhibition, at the landing of the stairway. They consist of illuminated Bibles, New Testaments, &c', versions in different languages, and many antiquities connecting with Bible printing and literature. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The children in attendance at the public schools have been allowed a public holiday on Wednesday, the 24th, the opening day of the Exhibition ; and this privilege will also be aflforded in all the Colleges, Convents, Academies and other institutions throughout the city, BAND COMPETITION. In the ban I competition which takes place on Thursday of Exhibtion week, Mr. W. Carey, ex- Bandmaster of the 60th Rifles, and Mr. Crozier of Ballevillo, have consented to act as judges in the band competition. "TWIN BROTHERS" AND "THE GOLD YEAST." In reference to this celebrated Yeast, the Toronto Eveivnq Telegram of the 11th September, 1879 says: — "While the (Vice-regal) party were examining the hardware, Mr. Grant, agent for the Twin Brothers' Yeast Company, made his appearance before the Princess with a huge loaf, rciiucsting Her Royal Highness to try the product of Canadian flour- u request which was graciously acceded to amid some merriment. The loaf was cut up and handed round, and many enconiums were passed upon its excellence, the Marquis remarking that they should have had a lunch like that before." The Toronto Mall of the 12th September also says : — " Mr. Grant, agent for the Waterloo Yeast Co. was next visited. He not only praised his ware, but offered a slice of bread made with the Waterloo Yeast, to the Princess. She took it and enquired if it was made of Canadian flour. She wis an.^wered in the ^affirmative, and said the bread tasted very sweet. The baker of the loaf was Mr. Edward Lawson, the well known and enterprising confectioner of King street, TorcDto, who mauufacrared a great variety of choice coni'cetioos on tuj Industrial Fair Ground^! at To; onto, and sold Hints to VrsiToKS. 125 immease quantities to \ iuitorM. of this Guide.

See advertisement, page VII front of the Guide. THE WANZKR SEWING MACIllNK. R. M. Wanzcr & Co. continue to occuiiy a leading place amongst sewing machine manufacturers. Their agents ar ! to bo f .und in every place of any importance in the Dominion, and the W;:nzei' sewing miichines are ahviys one of the principal attractions at Provincial and International Kxhibitions, where they have carried off so many gold niodals, diplomas and badges, that now they have to rest on their well earned laurels. See advertisement on back page of cover of Guide. MERCANTILE DISPLAYS. Visitors to the Exhibition would do well to make a note of Mr. ('. S. Shaw's Crystal Hall displny. S. tS: H. Borbridge have on exhibition a splendid assort- ment in the saddle and harness line. W. M. Somerville's display in the marble and mantel line, is really a credit to the manufacturing industry of the capital. In the Horticultural Hall, visitors will m ike a great mistake if they overlook the grand exhibit of the Renfrew Fruit and Floral Company. Give E>monde's display in the stove building a call. S.

It contains 1 696 superficial feet of soap, weighing upwards of 28 tons.
