Having just returned from u ten days sojourn auioug tlie Thousand lilauds, there conies u desire to persuade all readers of the N KWS, who have not taken the trip, to avail themselves of the advantages offered by the It. &O. Hallroad, for enjoying as line scenery as the continent afford* for the sum of sfti.7s. for tlie round trip—the distance one wnv being 228 miles. Leaving Hansoinville on the morning train, we reach Cape Y lucent about four o'clock, and there take the steamer Island ltrllt for Wellesly lslai.d, about thirty miles down the river, reaching our destination at half past six. This ride among the almost countless islands of the St. Lawrence is one of never failing Relight, and we almost regret that the Park is reached so soon. At the wharf we find waiting, friends, who escort us to the cottage rented by our party, and we feel at once that we are at honuv (Mir party consists of Stephen Maker and wife, I>ftvid linker and wife, Miss Carrie Hansom, Miss Una liaker, and .Mr. I rank liakcr, of Detroit. We llml the ci ttage —a very pretty one, accommodating ten persons—well furnished throughout, even to bed linen, and the kitchen and dining room fully supplied with cooking utensils and dishes—all for the sum of $2.00 a day. There Is a tine hotel on the grounds which will accommodate eight hundred guests. There Is also a tabernacle w here thu lectures, concerts, and other exercises are held. We bad thu pleasure of listening to ex-tiov. St. .John, (Jen. l'isk, Mis. Youmans, Mrs. Hunt, and other noted speakers. Admission to the I'ark being free, there is occasionally a charge of ten cents for a lecture or concert, but most of the exercises are free, l'lie chief attraction of the I'ark, however. Is the scenery. Taking the steamer Islanil Waii l' ii r, we ride around the Island and tliul fresh beauties at every turn, (in the way we pass Keho Hock, where the steamer whistles and calls forth a ready response from the answering elllTs. We likewise pass through the Lost Channel, so called from the fact that its locality was lost for several years, but recent soundings have located it again, in some places, as we thread our way in and out of tin- Islands, the channel is so narrow that the branches of the trees sweep the deck as wo pass. This trip occupies about four hours, and is but one of many, which may be made from this point. There are numerous steamers on the river in this vicinity, sometimes as many as ten lying at the l'ark landing at one time. Leaving the l'ark in the morning, we again enjoy that most charming ride up the river to Cape Vincent, where we take the cars and reach home the same evening, feeling that the trip has been profitable, as well as pleasant, and with | tlie resolve to make a longer stay among the islands the coming season, and we trust, many follow lug summers.
