The last thing we heard as we tode away were, 'It you want hickory nuts this fall. just write and let us know, and we will send you all you want." We will, thank'you. - One cause for regret was that a lantern which I had purchased in Trenton was broken in the accident and we were unable to travel after dark. This loss was par- ticularly noticeable as we travelled towards Brockville, The track was very rough and rocky. Sometimes the road was flanked by rozks a hundred feet high. There is very little timber of any kind in this vicinity. The rocks are covered with a brush that looks like juniper. Here and there are some clumps of pine and hickory. Farming is of a very differ- * ent nature to that around Port Perry. Itisa great dairying country, and cheese faclories and creameries are thick; so much so that a stranger can scarcely credit his senses. As we rode along we came across an old fashioned water wheel. The stream that formerly ran it had shrunk to a small creek, aud the old wheel was left high and dry, a skeleton of past industry The traveller comes upon Brockville somewhat unex- pectedly. The trees are more plentiful as you near the town and they, together with a bend in the St. Lawreuce, .hide the view. Brockville isa trim little town whose main busihess in summer is to cater to the requirements of tourists. Here, as all along thie bank of the St. Lawrence, are the residences of wealthy Americans. Excursions run every day, all day. In spite of its many attractions, we did not stay itt Brockville, but made our way to Prescott. On the road we passed an old stone windmill of which only the stonework was left standing. A man was mowing hay around the mill and we tried to be ~ chummy with him, but I guess he didn't like the looks of us for he grumbled and scowled and was as stony as the wind- mill. Too bad.Crick in his temper, poor fellow, only curable by lightning, hazing, or the best brand of Christianity--the real stuff. We spun on through Prescott until we reached the dock. Here we dismounted and took a snapshot of Ogdensburg, the scene of one of the battles of 1812. Prescott is a flat little town; a coaling station. There are two ferries busy at this, and more railroad is being built to run down to the river. This description of the town would not do for a gazetteer. It is merely an impression caught on the fly, Beyond Prescott we canie across enother stone windmill, now used as-a lighthouse. Rocky, juniper, hickory, piue,and stretches of a beautiful river, all went to make a picture of rugged beauty difficult to equal: Half intoxicated with the pure pleasure of it all, we rode on until we were more tired than we realized. ow sweet the hay smelt! What a lovely 'bed it would make! Good night. Pleasant dreams. ' Next morning, bright and early, we wheeled to Cardinal along the canal, until the locks were reached. Then came -. breakfast. : These canals run parallel with the St. Lawrence wherever the river is not navigable. " They are fitted with locks at botli ends. 'The shipping is quite heavy. ~When it re-enters the river, the current is so strong that it swings the scows ahead of the tug that was drawing them. The canal%ystem is almost continuous at Cardinal, Iroquois, Aultsville and Cornwall, It is all brilliantly lighted by electricity generated in immense power houses that use the rushing waters of the St. Lawrence for this .. The canals are not used in this way because it ia: feared th Bt the rush of water would wear down their 'banks and fill up the bottom. It is surprising how close the _ canals are to the river in sone places," The break at Cornwall ; this fact. Where the accident occurred, | the canal and the river was not more feet wide at the break, and the immense pressure made elt with destructive results.
