Cultivated fanus of -rca^ ier- lility line I'f sides and slumber in its depths. The Beaver river winds throutjh lis Uittoiu l.-iiidg and forms the aii:.der» haven of Wiss. At the Ij-ittom of the valley due north licJi the little villai;e of KunberJey, iiesiliu;; beiow crag;;y rocks that rise on the east to n great height, and from ihetop^of which,aIso, is obtained u 114 oat aweiiispiniiij view.

IS fuily 2-' miles long, and forms one f the most fertile strips of farmiiij; land in tiiis whole Dominion, It is noted for its salubrious eliiiuto and healthy atmosrhcie. Kimberle^, ten miles from Fiesherton, is a ^.Towiiii; and pro»porou.< little villase. The beautiful tj;iee:i'» Valley is associated with our earliest rccollectious, and will reinaiii with ua to the end of life as a scene the beauties of which cannot be faithfuily de- picted upon paper or canvas. The pen seems too weak, and the painter's brush could only show biu here and there, whereas it requires the whole to make tip this perfect picture, THE riSHINiT I<:.ANl>S. I'll the eastern shore of Lake Hun>n, seven miles due west from Wiar:.!!, on the Uruce i>eiiiiisula, lie tlie Fishiiis' Islands. They are easily f.iund on any Rood map of Oiit.ino. Those is'.ands lie in L-iL-at luiiubcr for a distance of six 111. le.% al.'tij; the coast, and 111 » line dis- tant from the slioie of a quarter to two miles. Tlie small viUa/e of Olii.liant is sitii.a;ed on a bluff which foriuod at soino I'eriod ill past a;;e.s the slioro line, but from whicli the ivater has now receded a lum Ired yards or more. Tlie lake bot- tom at this point IS of sar.d, level and hard, and the water is sliHlhiw f -r a Ion;,- dibit, nice out towaids the island,... This beautiful sandy bott-uii, at tlie iireseat season of year, forms an extensive spaiviuniibed for innumerable black ba-ss, which, a little later in the season, may be eiu-hi in large quantities witii rod and line. Herriiit' in shoals coma inside the islands and uisport themselves in shallow water. !>alm..u .iml pickerel inhabit the deoi'C- waters, and an occasional sturijeoii IS c.iptuied. The islamls are iut>3tly small, but all have local cognomens, and on Main Station Island is a ^ood wharf, stone bouse where supplies are kept, aud several hsliBniidii's residences. At least such was in euiiditi«in when we visited the spot a few years a;;:o. lUher appro- priate names are given to the smaller islands, such as "Helimoie's, ' "Smoke- house, "' "S<|uaw," "Whitefiah," etc. These islands are all nK'ky, and are iBustly Covered with thin soil and a •tuutetl undergrowth. They formaixiast defence froiu the heavy storms which f^e un the lUiMoia uf Lake HuroD during the stormy seasons, such as only nature can supply, and the mountain waves from the west break m wild foam upon their rocks, while the inner waters are but sliohtiy ai;itateu. Years ajo the in- habitants 1,'ained a considerable portion of their livelihood from wrecka;:e waslieU ashore frui.1 unfortunate vessels. Manv a barrel of flour and [nrk have been ves- cieil iroiu these waters to be added to the old settlers fruijal tare of tish and p<it«- toes. And m.t infrequently, also. ha.-, the hc/rntied wrecker discovered au'lastiy floating remnaii't of humanity washed landward by the waves.
