across the St. Lawrence to Point Levi. Turning to
the right, two or three hundred yards from the landing
place, you ascend a hiJl, a bend to the left, and
again to the right, and you are in Notre Dame de
la Victoire. The hill is now straight for the rest of
its length. At the top you again turn to the right, and
now I may say that you have no more hills before
you worth mentioning. Not quite a mile fi;; I.er on,
you again turn, this time to the left. The celegrapli
has a branch this way from this corner. With the
exception of one or two slight turns, the road runs

cross the bridge over the river "Etchemin." A mile

left which goes to Frampton, and other back settlements
; still further on there is another turning to the
right (which would take you through the Village of
