     There are also two excellently appointed and thoroughly 
     
     equipped hospitals, named the Charlottetown, and P. E. 
     
     Island. 
     
    

    
     The Market house which is on a line with the Dominion, 
     
     and other public institutions on Queen Square, is a large 
     
     wooden building and on Tuesday and Friday is capitally 
     
     supplied with all the creature comforts flesh, fish and 
     
     fowl—an abundance of excellent vegetables and fruits 
     
     which can be procured at extremely low prices. The City 
     
     Hall is over the Market place and is capable of holding a 
     
     large number—twelve hundred or more persons. There is 
     
     also a well furnished opera house, with a seating capacity 
     
     of one thousand, on Prince street. 
     
    

    
     The churches are numerous and well attended. With 
     
     few exceptions, can the school accommodations of Charlotte- 
     
     town be excelled. Besides the Government schools, there 
     
     are many other massive buildings worthy of notice. The 
     
     Colleges, Convents, Bishops Palace, and Lunatic Asylum are 
     
     magnificent structures and a credit to the capital. Within 
     
     the last five years, some exceedingly handsome private 
     
     residences have been erected, and the number at present 
     
     under construction goes to show the taste and prosperity 
     
     of the inhabitants. The warehouses, dry goods and 
     
     other stores are substantial buildings. The business men 
     
     are noted for their integrity, and their places of business 
     
     plainly indicates that they are no ways lacking in energy, 
     
     and determination to succeed. 
     
    

    
     .The suburban scenery is magnificient, of which perhaps 
     
     Victoria Park, about ten minutes walk from the centre of 
     
     the city and charmingly located, takes the lead. It is 
     
     encircled by a road running along the shore of the beautiful 
     
     Hillsborough River, and commanding a splendid View of 
     
     the picturesque entrance to the harbor, and winding around
