Letter No.2, from Wm. E. Walton. SaratoGa, N. Y., Aug. 1, 784. Ep. Times:—I closed my last let- ter from Canada. From Toronto we went to Kingston by rail, on north shore of Lake Ontario, where we took steamer for Montreal down the far-famed St. Lawrence River, passing through Thousand! Islands and over the rapids.

But the most exciting part is in | passing over the rapids, where the currentis very swift, caused by the} river running over a series of falls. {t requires a skilled pilot to guide a downward steamer safely through. We noticed one steamer that missed the channel a month ago, still hang- ing on the rocks. After ten hours we reached Mon- treal. Our first impression was that by some mistake we were in Paris, asthe people here mostly speak } French. We spent a day sight-seeing in this old city. First we were driven to **Mount Royal.”’ which 1s a moun- tain 7oo feet high, just back of the city. From its summit we had a fair view of the city and St. Law— rence river, Here are two ceme- teries, one Protestant the other Cath- | olic, where the dead of this city have ; buildings, race tracks, el been buried tor 200 years, and a | beautiful place it is, with its fine | groves of trees and artistic drives and | walks. On the side of this moun-|! faim next to, and overlooking the | city, are the residences and grounds | of the nch,—imposing and grand,— } made so without regard to cost. Re- | turning, we stopped at **Greys Nun- | and, with other visitors. were shown through its many departments.

Over 600 found- lings are received here yearlv, and their records show 30,300 received since the year 1800. We next visit- ed ‘‘Notre Dame,’*’ noted as the largest and finest Catholic church in Cana la, and were shown through. It has a seating capacity of 10,000. No brief description could give a faint idea ot the granduer and splen- dor of the inside of this edifice. The gilding alone cost $200,000. Total cost ot building, $1,500,000. Tak- ing the elevator we were lifted to the spire, where we had another fine view of Montreal. Here we ex- amined the ten chime bells, the largest weighing 22,000 pounds, Montreal has a population of 165,- O00. From Montreal we went to Platts- burgh, N. Y., a day. A pleasant place of 10,000, on west bank ot Lake Champlain; then across the lake by steamer to Burlington, Ver- mont, an old, rich town of 13,000. A drive here brought to view many fine residences and grounds. Ethan Allen, of revolutionary fame, is bur- ned here. Dr. Webb, son-in-law of Vanderbilt, owns 100 acres in sub- urbs fronting the lake, and is spend- ing money on it without stint, in fine ant steam | yachts, ete. They say it will cost him a quarter of a million and it’s | only to be his summer home. | But by far the most delightful part { of this trip was from Burlington by steamer through the historic Lakes, Champlain and George, where the air is pure and bracing, and the ever chanying landscapes of the islands which the steamer passes among-- | the verdent Green Vermont and the rugged summits of } Mountains ot | |the Adirondacks—all combine to make this trip a pleasing one to the | | the traveler. We were from 8 o’clock | The Tomb. Died, Saturday morning, August roth, 1884, of malerial fever and phy. Miss Katie was the daughter of Mrs. Kathrine Murphy, living five miles south of this city. Her sickness was of short duration, only from Thursday until Saturday morning. She was taken sick and died while visiting at the residence ot Pat. Ma- loney, about 12 miles southwest of Butler. Thus it is that grief has entered another happy household ; the gentle spirit of Katie, idol daughter, has joined the mighty carayan that daily crosses the invisible. A bright bud ot promise, but 17 years. five months and one day old, the zephyrs of sum- mer toying with her sunny curls and lingering lovingly on her coral lps; the angels envied her and the tatal shatt was sped. After an illness of short duration, she calmly sank to her eternal slumber, love and skill com- bined proving powerless to avert it. On Monday her tear-bejemmed cas— ket was conveyed to Oak nll Ceme- tery and placed beneath the emerald sward to await the fiat of us all Words of sympathy fall soothingly on the anguished hearts as they lay | her away to rest. The funeral serv- ices were conducted by Father man- ley, and her remains, followed by a large concourse ot friends, followed to her last resting place.

One day last week the Supt. of the Inhrmery notified the County Court that a feeble-minded girl, Mary Manning, had become preg- naat. The three judges, accompa- } nied by Judge Hawkins of the Pro- } bate Court, proceeded to the poor | tarm to investigate the matter. From some unprincipled men have taken advan tage of the poor girl’s demented con- dition and accomplished their vile and unholy purposes.
