Ίο the Editor qf the Pre»»:
My last letter (and first) left me in a
shower near Lake Champlaiu. A tine sun
set afterward gave us a magnificent ride
across the northern portions of this lake by
bridges kabout leu miles in length, to Kousis
Point. Across the lake southwestward, the
Adirondac mountains look hazy iu the dis
tance, and the nearer view showed the charm
ing lake surface, dotted here and there with
sailing vessels and steamers, while on our
right, as we reach the New York shore, is the
new Fort Montgomery, in process of erec
tion. The wirk is well advanced and looks
formidable. May no occasion arise through
the folly of John Bull's advisers—or brother
Jonathan's—for its thunders to disturb their
peaceful waters.
From House's Point we begin our directly
western progress. We see enough of our
surroundings, as we pass by moonlight to Oe
densburg, to discover that we are passing over
a level territory similar to that which Ijorders
the St. Lawrence as you approach Montreal
by the Grand Trunk. A portion of the coun
try is cultivated, more of it is new, and bears
all the marks W being recently settled.
At Ogdensburg we cross tbe St. Lawrence
by moonlight, and And ourselves transferred
to the Grand Trunk at midnight. We make au
experiment in the sleeping car, and roll and
swelter three or four hours, preferring at day
light the better air and prospect of another
car. We reach Toronto at 10 o'clock, after a
magnificent morning ride, along the north
ern shore of Lake Ontario, over a portion of
Canada's most productive soil. I make but
little note of towns and places. The railroad,
berc as elsewhere, fails to give you the best
view* of the settlements. But some of these
towns are well settled and thrifty in appear
ance ; developed and built up by the lake com
merce and the -new facilities of tbe Grand
Trunk. Toronto is a fine city. The Universi
ty buildings and the Normal School editice
are elegant structures, as remembered from a
former visit. The exigencies of the day forbid
any delay to look about at this time. Pressing
on through dust and heat, a hundred and sev
enty miles farther to l'ort Sarnia, we pass
through immense forests of timber and fields
of wheat; most of the grain ripe for the har
vest much earlier, 1 am told, than usual. At
Port Sarnia we part with a large party of New
England teachers, who at this point take a
steamer for Chicago, by way of Lakes Huron
and Michigan. The question with your cor
respondent is not easy to decide, whether to
follow his ticket with the excursion and spend
three or four days on the lakes, going some
800 miles around the State of Michigan, or to
go across, by way of Detroit, a distance of 300
miles.
Ue elects the land route, thus hoping to see
more of the towns and institutions of that
beautiful peninsula. Leaving the company,
Saturday evening finds him in Detroit, a beau
tiful city on the connecting waters of Huron
and Erie, sufficiently elevated above the water
level to give it good draiuage and a pleasant
outlook.
A stranger in a strauue citv. I was fortunate
enough to encounter at my hotel a former ac
quaintance from Maine, Dr. Noyes of Water
villc, who has been here for a short liine In ]
successful practice of eye and ear treatment.
My good fortune gave me also au introduction
to Thomas ltomeyu, Esq., a prominent lawyer
of the city, whose kind attentions, coupled
with those of his accomplished wile and daugh
ter, contributed much toward the pleasure of
ray two days iu Detroit. On the Sabbath 1
found myself Invited in different directions, by
the soaud of the church-going bell. The ser
vices at Hev. Dr. Dufiicld'e church consisted
mainly ol addresses, by lie v. Messrs. Chidlaw
and McAuley, la behalf of the Christian Com
mission. These geutlemcu have spent much
time in the armies of the I'otomac and the j
Cumberland, ministering to their physical and
spiritual necessities. Their statements and
appeals were therefore based u|ion th« right
grounds to produce a most telling effect. They
spoke again ii the evening to a vast audience
in the hall of the Young Men's Association,
producing a powerful conviction of the great
value of this Commission as a ministeriug
agency in the army. With Dr. Noyes visited
the residence of Major Lewis Cass, former
Consul at Rome, to examine his very exten
sive and valuable collection of paintings, sta
tuary, and other objects of art. collected in
Italy and elsewhere abroad. Nearly every
room on the floor of the bouse, (late his fath
er's family mansion) is filled with the Costly
and rare productions oi art. Time failed us
in the examination ; much more would it in
description. ,
The Major himself is an invalid, and excus
ed himself after opening these art-treasures
to our examination. The General, his father,
still vigorous in his old age, lives at present
with a daughter in the city; devoting himself
to the care of Ills accumulated millions, and
praying for the peace of his Jerusalem—the
country which he has served so long; a peace
through the submission of the rebels, not
through the weak yielding of the north to the
haughty demands of southern demagogues.
May he live to see the day.
Among the substantial evidences of the in
telligence and prosperity of Detroit, are the
numerous large and fine structures for
school purposes. Public schools and private
seminaries do here abound. Most of these are
now closed for vacation. Among the estab
lishments which I visited, is the "Academy of
the Sacred Heart," a Catholic conventual
school, conducted by sisters of that order.
The premises are spacious and elegant—the
sisters In black robes and broad plaited [night
caps, cheerful in their work, domestic nd in
tellectual—and are doing good service, we
doubt not, In training many orphan children
gratuitously, for respectability in life, while
their school for the childreu of the wealthy,
gives them the means of conducting their
charitable enterprise.

"A NEW DISCOVERY !
Λ l'aient Compound Tor flu* Cure
οΓ the PILES!
By WM. Ο A Η It, U» tta, Me.
AFTER suffering sixteen years, and trying every·
thing that could be fouiid in the market recom
mended for that complaint, without tind ng any re
lief, the inventor of this comnouud thought he would
try an experiment, and finally succeeded in finding a
remedy that has effected a permanent cure. After
waiting four years for the purpose ot ascertaining
whether the cure was perfect, and not having had
the slightest touch of it during that time, he then j
advertised It iu the Bath Times for one ν ear. Since ι
it·, introduction it has proved itosll to be nt beel rem·
edv over brought before the public for this complaint.
It is made of different things that grow in the I
fields and pastures,that are good for any one to take, i
It has been takeu by children but three yean old,
and from that up to people of seventy years, and has
effected λ cure in almo*t nv#rv <<··«« a..»*..» I
are troubled with other complaints in connection
with this. ||d be dflM not claim that thi·* îm-dicine
will euro every disease that people are subject to, but
those troubled with the Tiles need not de<i»air. Many
who have been troubled with the Tiles but a few
years, have been eared by the use of a single bottle;
hut for tho«e who have had the disease in their blood
twenty or thirty years, it will require more.
This medicine has been taken by hundreds iu the
city of Hath and its vicinity, and has proved to be
the REST RE Μ Ε l) Y ever discovered for the above
complaint. It is got up expressly for the Tiles, but
for Inflammation of the Bowels it is second to none. <
The inventor, wishing to send it to other cities and -
towm· to let the people satisfy themselves of its heal- !
in* and cleaning virtues, has been at the expense ot j
securing a patent.
