the Americans at Bunker HILL in 1775.
These trophies were on exhibition at
the dominion fair which was this year

Interesting Street Rambles.
St Louis suburbs and st. Johns sub
urbs are two distinct quarters of the
Upper Town. A stroll along the ram
parts, between ST. Louis and st. Johns
gates, where one cannot be driven, re-
pays the sightseer, and to witness a sun
set from the heights, is indescribably
enjoyable; one feels elevated, both
physically and spiritually by sight of
those peaceful blue mountains upon the
horizon and the quiet st. Lawrence
and mountain and cultivated broad
acres combine to make gorgeous land
scape."
We found it a fatiguing ramble up
and down hill, and in some places it be-
comes a scramble over bits of wall and
across cannon bitches, where the harm
less looking smooth bore guns so peace
fully repose. Take time to sit here and
there, and you will enjoy the lights and
| shadows on the distant hills, viewed
| from different points. One observer
saysI THE mountains have kaleido-
scopic habit of sliding behind one an
other or jostling each other to peer
over each others shoulders, and many
other little tricks which make them
fascinating in the extreme"

the Grand Alice, we first behold the
provincial government buildings on the

the Convent Of the Christian Brothers

near by is the Convent of the Good
Shepherd, with its "A nuns, 80 penltents
and 800 girl students.
Between the Anglican cathedral and
Dufferin Terrace Is the handsome new
