She has experienced a great deal of trouble while engaged in the wrecking business, and itis thought that the present accident will end her career, CANADA’S WATERWAYS. On Monday night Mr. Hugh McLennan, President of the M. ‘I. Company, read a most interesting paper on the ‘Waterways of Canada” in Association Hall, Montreal. He reviewed the progress of navigation In Can- ada from the time of the discovery of the St. Lawrence. coveries of LaSalle, he alluded to the time when Ontario was opened for settlement. In 1809 the first steamer Accommodation, appeared on Canadlan waters, between Mon- treal and Quebec, and in 1813 the Swiftsure, 140 feet long, 24 feet beam and able to make the trip between the two cities in thirty two hours, was launched. ‘The honor of this en- terprise is due to the Hon. John Molson. The Frontenac, built near Kingston in 1816 and 1817, was the first.Jake steamer, and it was looked upon ar an experiment, as steam had never been used for lake navigation be- fore. ‘The Queen. Charlotte was built at Sackette’s harbor in 1818; her engines were built by Ward Bros., of Montreal. In 1821 the Prince Edward was built and with the Queen Charlotte formed a line up the Bay of Quinte. In 1817 or ’18 the first steamer was built upon the upper lakes at Buffalo, to ruu to Michilitracinac. The tea kettle was doing its work. ‘The improvements between Mon- treal and Coteau had proved very. seryloea- ble to the trade, larger boats. were used and the trips were made in much better time. In 1840 the Oldfield, Captain’ Shepherd, |- took the first passenger from Montreal to Kingston without transhipment. Other steamers were built,‘ which connected with lake boats. ‘hose were the palmy days of navigation. Every lake town had its fleet ot schooners, but the construction of the G.'T. R. greatly injured the St. Lawrence trade. He then named those who were prominent in the palmy days: Captain Patterson, of the Ireland, the first Canadian vessel that unloaded in Chicago, and unloaded in the canal; Captain Whitney, of the Great Brit- ain, Captain Richardson, Captain T'wohey. Captain Dick, Captain Sutherland of the ‘Traveller. Hon. Senator Hamilton, Captain Moses of the Bay of Quinte, Henry Gilder- sleeve, shipbuilder, and others. “I'he speak- er concluded by saying: When we think that in 100 years we have made such strides, what may we not expect in the next-100 years. PRACTICED WHAT HE PREACHED. A clergyman of New York State preached a sermon the other Sunday on ‘‘Fools,”’ and then blew out his gas at the hotel and went to bed to be suffocated. Glad to hear of one man who practiced what he preached—and when any person is afflicted with itching piles and cannot sleep a wink all night tor scratching, we feel pleased to learn that such an one has commenced the use of Swayne’- ointment. Rest and happiness will soon re- turn again. ADVERTISERS Can learntheexactcostof any proposed line of Ad- vertising in American Papers by addressing Geo. P.
