fusion, as matter of course, occurred in

seeing to it that no one lacked attention.
The ascent of the hill--which cannot be
less than 300 feet in height, and the
route up which, by the grade, is at least
one quarter Of a uile-wasno triling mat
Ter, especially taking into consideration
the many attractive views met with earoGte,
but the track was hard and gravelly, and
soon we found ourselves "on leveln in a
broad and handsome street, which leads
to Market Square; up this we passed to
Market Street, and around Market street
short distance to the Hall which had
been adopted as the Firemen's Headquar-
tiers, where was in waiting, a most sub
stantial English lunch, such as we can at
almost any time do justice to, but never
satisfactorily describe.
The approach to Goderioh reminds one
Of the ascent from the river in Cleveland,
and the general topography on the hill
is much the same, but the plan of the
city is not like that of any place in our
recollection. In the centre is a large
circular enclosure in which is situated
the Court House, high and handsome
light brick building with curved and
highly ornamentcd lintels, handsome COR
nice, and surmountcd by tasteful cupo
Ia, while around the outside runs broad
and handsomely graded gravel street,
the circle of which is three fourths Of a
mile, from which other streets radiate in
all directions. The buildings outside
this circular street are mainly of this
light brick, which is peculiar to many
parts of Canada, and ia various other
portions of the town are located many
fine business buildings, hotels, churches,
public edifces, and private residences.--
Altogether it is a handsome place pecu-
liar in style and noticeable more cspeci.

and picturesque surroundings once WISH
ted not soon to be forgotten, and we will
guarantee that none of Pioneer Boys or
their friends who were with them on the
oath, will soon forget either the occasion
or the location. ..-

the signal flags of the Band; a large
British and American Ensign side by
side; the beautiful silk banner Of Pioneer
Co, and a fine display Of small flags
and national ensgns scattered profusely
through the ranks. The display was nm
posing, and the weather, which had been
pleasant throughout, was at this time de-
Hghtful, with just enough ola breeze to
haunt the banners finely. The procession
halted near Engine House No. 2, when
the toast Of the Day, "The Queen" was
