On Nov. 19th we rose at 5, and at 7.12 set off on a
journey of 333 miles, by "through express'' for Montreal,
a city which contains a population numbering upwards of
100,000 Papists, and only about 50,000 Protestants,
where we arrived at the Windsor Hotel at 9 o'clock
that night. At Montreal, Mr. Miiller preached twice on
the Sunday, and every evening in the week, until our
departure. His ministry (we heard) was highly valued
in that city, and many spoke of blessing received by
means of it.
On Nov. 29th, at 4 o'clock, we left for Ottawa, the
capital of the Dominion of Canada, 117 miles from
Montreal, where we arrived at half-past 9, and on the
following day (Sunday) my husband preached morning
and evening at the Tabernacle to large congregations.
During our short stay at Ottawa, the coJd was intense,
and there were heavy falls of snow, but we took a drive
to the Chaudiere Falls, and saw the residence of the
Marquis of Lome, who was then Governor-General of
Canada. From Barrack Hill, which rises almost perpen-
dicularly to an elevation of 350 feet, the prospect was
extensive, and the beauty of the scenery in the neighbour-
hood of Ottawa is said to be unrivalled. In the neigh-
bourhood of the Falls the frost work was remarkable,
and the icicles, several feet in length, formed quite a
picture.
