Americans may perhaps be Interested to know
that at Quebec they may see q very interesting
revolutionary relic. All your readers will recol-
ect the expedition under Arnold and Montgoni-

on the record--which attempted to reduce Que.

saut on Quebec failed, and Montgomery was shot
dead at PRESIDE Vile, where to this day a stone
marks the spot. The retreat Of the force through

MEMORIES OF rs.
Possibly it may not have been wasting space to
describe this relic, as Montgomery's was one Of
the brightest names at the inception Of the war
for independence. Mr.. j. M. Lemoine has just
published an interesting little pamphlet on the
invasion of ITS, from which gather that Mont
gomery was connected with Viscount Ranelagh in
ireland, and married Janet, q daughter of Judge
Livingston, of Livingston Manor, Now York. Mr..
Lcmoine also states that the American prisoners
taken on that occasion were sent down to Nal
bae, about ninety miles below Quebec, on the
north shore of the st. Lawrence. (Here to-day
stands the pleasant watering place Of Murray
Bay) Here they were set to build three houses,
but they all escaped across the river-here
twenty miles wide--to Kamouraska. They
were all retaken however, through the vigilance
and loyalty Of the French peasants.
