f I . Sen from Montrgue West. wh»re the Rev. William Phclan st one time resided. It

in; not detatched from Montague West until 1881.

/St. Mary's Church stands on very high land. about one hundred and fifty feet above the level of the sea. The Dimensions of the church are eighty feet by thirty five. The pews and deep surbase are of ash with black walnut trimmings, as is also the front of the gallery, which a very good effect,,it being executed in fret-work of a light and elegant design. suggesting the appearance of the womens' gallery in a Jewish synagogue. The altar is white and pale blue. with touches of gold. the frontal is in imitation of brown marble. Above the filter

is a large copy in oils of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. by Murillo.

At each side of this painting is a lancet window in stained glass. one represent- ing the Madonna and child. the other St. Joseph. On the walls of the Sanctuary are delicately frescold pictures of St. Peter and St. Paul. The Communion Railing is of black walnut and brass. St. Mary's Convent fail to impress the visitor as a neat. tasteful and pretty little church. The presbytery. standing in the midst of a fine garden looks very cosy and comfortable. The view from the church property is charming. taking in a fine agricultural country through which flows the beautiful Montague River, The landscape. a short distance above the bridge where the river divides into two sinnous branches. offers as pretty a bit of pastoral scenery as can be found in Prince Edward Island.

The village at Montague Bridge is quite a busy little centre with a rapidly in- -creasing population. Ships come up here to load. and a considerable business

is done. as is testified by the fact of the Dominion Government, having consented

to put up a Post Office and custom house which add materially to the appearance

of the village.
