     Pure Spices from John P. Mott & Go, Halifax, N.S. 
     
    
   
   
    
     at the “ Rocklin ” where they will find all the comforts re- 
     
     quired. It is well situated, and very convenient for the 
     
     public in general. The “ American ” house kept by Mr. J. 
     
     Kelly, and the Provincial, Duncan, and the Eldon house, are 
     
     good houses, and centrally located. The Railway house, 
     
     kept by Mr. McRae, situated on Richmond street, is in close 
     
     proximity to the Market, Post Office, and other public 
     
     offices. The patrons of any of these hotels, will meet with 
     
     every comfort, and substantial table fare at moderate 
     
     charges. There are many other hotels, and lodging houses 
     
     which our limited space forbid mentioning. 
     
    

    
     The line of Railway traverses the Island from Tignish, 
     
     the western terminus, to Souris, the eastern, with branches 
     
     to Charlottetown, Georgetown, and Cape Traverse. The 
     
     total length is two hundred and ten miles. The road is well 
     
     managed, and kept in good condition, and Mr. Unsworth, is 
     
     one of the most popular and efficient Superintendents in the 
     
     Dominion. and his many kindly acts prove him to be a 
     
     whole-souled gentleman. The ccnductors and other oflicials 
     
     connected with this railway, are as popular and courteous a 
     
     class of 'men as can he found anywheie. Vile must also 
     
     mention that the P. E. Island Steam Navigation Co’s boats 
     
     plying between Summersidc and Point du Chene, and 
     
     Charlottetown and Pictou, are excellently fitted up for the 
     
     comfort of the travelling public, and the officers and men 
     
     proverbial for their kindness and attention to passengers. 
     
    

    
     From Charlottetown easy access to any part of the Island, 
     
     can be had by rail or boat. Of late tourists are beginning 
     
     to find their way to the Island in large numbers and the 
     
     numerous summer hotels are constantly increasing along the 
     
     beautiful shores, Where the bright skies, the cool breezes 
     
     from the sea and the luxurious vegetation of the fertile 
     
     Island, bring health and enjoyment to the wearied toilers in 
     
     hot and dusty cities, and bloom to the checks of their 
     
     Children. Of the beauty of the interior, too much can 
     
     hardly be said, and scores of excursions can be made by 
     
     rail, steamer, or carriage, each presenting a peculiar scene of 
     
     enchantment. In fact the drives through the royalty, which 
     
     18 almost a continuous park, affords some excellent views of 
     
     water and shores, and everywhere dotted with farm houses,
