THE DAILY

[For Tr The Bay of Chaleur.

[XNAMINER. |

BY THE REV. FRED. EB. J. GEOYD.

Ihe Bay of Chaleur, asa glance at the map of ‘British North America will show, » found on the East Coast of Canada, in the vicinawe of the Gulf and River St. Lawrence. Its whereabouts and much of its charming natural beauty are doubtless familiar to those of our readers who have voyaced up the majestic St. Lawrence on

is to oD

boarc, the once famous blockade runner, the Miramichi. The Bay lies almost due East and West, and extends. inland to the dis-

tance of about twenty-seven leagues. Its

Eastern limits are on the South Coast, Point Miscou, in the Province of New

Brunswick ; and, on the North Coast, Point Macquereau, in the Province of (Quebec, whence its waters” are merged into those of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It distant across about eight leagues at its widest parts, whence it gradually contracts untif the mouth of the river Restigouche is reached, which, together with that of the River Metapedia, flows into and forms its head.

From some real or imaginary points of resemblance to that famous sea, the Bay of Chaleur has been styled, by more than one writer, the Mediterranean of Canada, and it is generally conceded that, to some extent at least, the comparison is a just one. Next to Hudson’s Bay in the far North, which is well nigh inaccessible to all but the most venturesome and intrepid

is

‘ tourist, it is the only other bay of any im-

possessed by the Dominiozi, hence, I suppose, the pride with which Canadians regard it, and the persistency with which they flock to its fair shores and seek the calm seclusion of its numerous coves and creeks during the months of our brief but beautiful summer.

It is said to have been given its name, which so exactly describes it, by Jacques Cartior, the celebrated French navigator, ‘* whose enterprise discovered and secured Cana la for France (1534,) circumnavigated Newioundland, uufurled the lilies of France at Gaspe” and explored. the bay which he called Baie des Chaleur as a re- ward, doubtless, for the warmth and shelter its j}eaceful waters and densely wooded shores afforded him and his hardy com- panicns after their first cold, prolonged and storn y passage across the Atlantic.

Its coast line is, for the most part, ir- regulir and considerably indented, al- thouch, on the North side thergfare to-be foun , here and there, portions which are stra ht, monotonous and uninteresting. The ‘orthern Coast is preeminently rich iu natu:al beauty, which is at once varied, pictu-esque and impressive, surpassed only by the simple magnificence and grandeur of tuat which meets the eye of the travel- ler at its head and North-West portions.

There are the long, sweeping, gently un- dulat ng and thickly-weoded valleys

through which flow deep and sulien rivers

portance

or tr ckle the truant and laughing rivulets on their seaward way. Above all, there stands in the remote distance agroup of

hilis lensely wooded from base to summit, ind ringing from one to two thousand feet

in height. There is a peguli:

abou cH scene shich the Paks aced LCV Ci seen equated a which is to be accounted for, doubtless, by the exquisite purity of

the almosphere. With the changing sea- sons, newer glories are added to the picture in the changeful hues of the forest fuliage. In the early spring the prevailing color is

fairy-like green, which, as summer advances, deepens into a much darker shade. This again, as he stately pageant of autumn approaches, is transfurmed into crimson, vold and russet, presenting a picture of in- describable glory, untiljgrim winter arrives, whic) strips beech, birch, maple and aspen of their resplendent garments, leaving only the dark and sombre evergreen of spruce and fir. In short, every feature of the vast panorama, from the tiny red-sailed fishing which lie motionless on the calm waters of the bay, or scud along before the breeze in a crowd of * white horses,” to the stately hills, isa thing of loveliness and beauty without a single disturbing element.

At the head of the bay there branch off in a north-westerly direction two smaller bays, the Cascapedia, which is formed by an estuary of the river of the same name, and the bay of Tracadigeche. Near the head of the former, nestling picturesquely on a slightly elevated plateau, stands the thriving settlement of Maria. It is almost wholly surrounded by hills, which are a continuation ¢f Mount Tracadigeche, situ- ated a few miles to the westward, and form- ing an imposing background to the village of Carleton, a settlement of some import- ance, and rapidly becoming famous asa watering place. Still farther westward, at the head of the bay of Chaleur, and con- tinuing for many mites in almost the same direction, is to be found the widely-famed Metapedia Valley, through which flows the noble river of the same name. Its natural beauty has been spoken of by travellers as wort'iy to be compared with the finest in the known world. An extensive portion of the Intercolonial Railway has been con- structed through it, the line being laid on the south bank of the river, owing to which circu nstance the route has acquired much fame. There is, besides, in this charming region, the Lake Metapedia, a fine expanse of the purest water, and surrounded by towering hills wooded to the water’s edge. A fixe view of it can be obtained from the railway train, which daily threads its wind ng way along its secluded shores. This valley, one of the fairest spots in Cana la, is visited annually by Jarge num- bers of tourists, most of whom come from the United States, and amongst the rest the ’anderbilts and other magnates, who have organized amongst themselves what is knovn asthe Metapedia Club. They are attracted to this region as much by its ex- quis) e scenery as by the excellent fishing the Metapedia and other neighboring rivers afford.

The most impertant centres of life and business in the bay of Chaleur are Dal- housie and Campbellton on the west, Carle- ton, New Richmond, Paspebiac, New Car- lisle snd Perce on the north, and Bathurst and Caraquet on the gouth coast.

Canpbeliton is prettily built on a bold prom snutory which jutgout at a point where the r.vers Restigouches and ¢Metapedia are contlient. The situation, of Dalhousie,

> Their present principal a seems to be almost exelusively configed to lumber- ing, which, during the season of naviyation, brings a numerous fleet of vessels to their harbors. Although | the population of these small towns/ does not exceed two or three thousand and consists, toa large extent, of the labor ing class, churches and meeting-houses, each ot which, generally speaking, repre-| sents a resideat clergyman or_ preacher,

abound. Dalhousie has recently become famous, and justly so, as a watering-place!

of the first importance, and, for the past two or three summers, it has been the favorite resort ot the elite of Canada, many of whom coime from a distance of over a thousand miles. At both places there is a station of the Intercolonial railway. Carleton has been already referred to, but we may here say in passing, that it is celebrated as possessing the only Roman Catholic Convent on the north side of the Bay. The church belonging to the Roman Communion here is a very imposing edifice, and the centre of much spiritual activity.

Journeying eastward from Carleton, the] y disease lurking around. she says, the buttermilk — eared her. As physicians say, ‘‘it went right to the spot.

next place ot importance we reach 1s New Richmond. It is a large settlement and charmingly situated on an elevation be- tween the Great and Little Cascapedia rivers. As at Dalhousie and Campbelton, | lumbering is the principal employment of the inhabitants of New Richmond. The scenery is very lovely, and facilities fo fishing and shooting—the latter in sprin and autumn—are practically unlimited Che Caseapedia rivers just mentioned ar thought by some to be the finest salmo rivers in the world; but it is well know that the rivers of British Columbia produc salmon in far larger quantities, if not quite such good quality, and then there ar the Kamschatkan rivers which are literall¥ full of salmon.

The right of salmon fishing in the Gre% Cascapedia has been conceded by the De minion Government to the Governo General for some years past, and during tl season of 1887 His Excellency the Marqu of Lansdowne and party captured moreth five hundred salmon as a result of a month tishiug in these waters.

Paspebiac (locaily ‘‘ Paspbyjack ”’) said to be one of the finest settlements the Bay of which we write. It is prin pally celebrated, however, as having bee for more thanva century, the headquarte of the great codfishery establishment of t Messrs. Robin, of Jersey. This house, one time, it is commonly said, counted i failure by millions; it is now, howeve owing to various causes, not as certainabl in liquidation. But notwithstanding thig, it stili forms the centre of a considerable amount of business, and there are not want- ing signs that the firm will yet retrieve its losses and again contribute its share to the wealth and progress of the community. The residents of Paspebiac are chiefly natives of the ““hannel Isles, who have either been or are descended from employes of the Messrs. Robina. The land here is much more uniformly level than farther west, and’ it slopes gradually to the sea shore. The port of Paspebiac is provided with a wharf wheie ships of considerable tonnage can lie in safety. A striking and picturesque feature of the harbor is thd existence ts cabc.. slue, OL a wide sandy dyke whic reaches out a long distanée frontthe shore, affording the most perfect shelter from the east winds, which, as winter advances, are very heavy.

Perce, altheugh not. strictly , speaking, within the limits of the Bay of Chaleur, as it lies seven leagues east from Point Macquereau, is yet of sufficient interest and importance to merit more than a_ passing word. The settlement is so well described by Mr. J. C. Langelier that I make no apology in presenting it to the reader, ‘*The village of Perce is built on the extremity of the promontory which forms the western boundary of Malbaie Bay. It is one of the most picturesque sites in the whole of Gaspesia, and its celebrity is due to the singular rock which lies in front of it. This rock appears to have been at one time united to Mount Joli, from which it is separated by a narrow channel which is dry at low water. The length of this rocky islet is about eight hundred feet, while its width is barely more than sixty to eighty feet. Throughout its entire circuit the rock is one continuous cliff, whose average height is two hundred and ninety feet. Near its centre the waves and ice have bored an arched passage through the rock, sufficiently large to allow boats under sail

to pass through. This arched pas- sage gives the locality its name of Perce which is an abridgment of

Roe Perce. On the side facing Mount Joli Cape Perce forms a steep cliff, and as its plateau narrows, it stretches out several feet over the sea and terminates in a point.” Like Niagara and the Rocky Mountains, Perce Rock isone of Canada’s most famous sights; and no efforts the tourist can make to see it, however great they may be, can fail to be rewarded. The Rock is entirely verdureless. It is peopled by vast multitudes of screaming sea_ birds, principally, as faras 1 have been able to observe, sea gulls and gannets, who rest securely upon its towering heights, far out of the reach of nest robbers and guns.

Letter From Mr. Earle.

Sir,—I notice a letter signed ‘ Low Churchman,’ in your issue of yesterday. He is evidently one of the many kind friends | lave in St. Paul’s. If the gentle- men who compose the Vestry are the men I take them to be, they will refuse to act until after another congregational meeting is held. This Vestry is the same as last year ; they split and canvassed, told people who would have voted for me that I re- signed, never giving any reason why I did so. In consequence of this and some skill- ful manceuvring they managed to get them- selves in aguin. I can assure them that had I attended the Easter meeting, as request-
