CoLLINGwooD, July, 1855.
"Where is Collingwood?' says the ancient ore
ogapher, who squares his knowledge of the world
geographically, by Olney and Woodbridge. "a
see that name" he says, Gin all the prints of the
day. and the praises of the place and the route
thereto, are on every tongue"
My ancient friend, Collingw God is the old head
quarters OF the Hudson Bay Fur Company. YOU

NAME The spot where now stands quite little
village, with the prospect of some day being a
city OF no inconsiderable importance, has only
been marked with few quasi French trading
huts, where the red man of the forest went to dis
pose OF his furs, and receive in return trinkets
and whiskey. But Yankee enterprise, which mel.
Their dense forest, nor rock, nor swamp, can baf
file, has penetrated that semi-barbarian region
The whistle of the iron-horse, which makes dur
nal trips from Toronto to Collingwood, has in
fused spirit of enlightenment into the forests
surrounding Georgian Bay, and Collingwood has
thus become, during these intesely hot days, a
favorite wood.
The route through this region is now the pop
trip on the cars, is thus avoided, and the pas.
sengers are permitted to enjoy the cool and re.

Lake Michigan, upper Lake Huron and Georgian

City-in my estimation, the gem of the Lakes
for Collingwood, on the Oath inst. We took pas
sage on the keystone State, the commander of
which, Capt. RICHARDS, has long been, in theat-
rical parlance, a "Star" of the first magnitude.
There was goodly representation of the "fair''
of Kenosha, on board; therefore time passed mer-
rily, and
"Bright
The lamps shone o er fair women and brave mem;
thousand hearts beat happily, and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spoke again,
And all went merry as marriage bell"
The company enjoyed the pleasure of the tina

ourned to their respective staterooms, where they

Take it all in all, trip to Collingwood will rich
ly richly reward any one, who has an eye for the
beautiful or the picturesque. The boats on the
line are spacious and airy; the officers accommo-
dating and courteous, and the fare good in quail
ity, as well as cheap in price.
Capt. Bell, whose courteous demeanor and
strict integrity has won the respect of all with
whom he has dealt for the past ten years, is the
agent of the Collingwood Line, at Kenosha-
While the Company can repose the utmost con-
fdence upon him, as faithful and energetic
agent the public can as fully rely on him as
man of answering integrity. No bell in the Uni
ted States has clearer and more genuine ring,
than r. Bell of Kcnosha, and we trust he may
ever ring out such peals as will let the people
know, far and near, of the immense advantages
to be gained, and the pleasure to be via the Col
lingwood route.
If were allowed to amend, or make an addi-
ton to the wise proverbs of Solomon, should in
dite the following, and am sure it would receive
the sanction of all who had the pleasure of tran
sit over Collngwood route:-
BLESSED are they, who possess the means to
make trip from Kenosha to Colllngwood."
know that, if the Wise Man were on earth,
now, he would enjoy no greater pleasure than
trip over this line. No man, who appreciates the
beautiful, the sublime, the picturesque, or that
which renders comfort to the physical wants of
man, will fail to give praise to the Collingwood
Company. Adcu. KENosnA.
