/ len from Mont'fnie Vest, wh^re the R-v. William Phclan :t one time resided. It / i \B 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 womens1 gallery in a jetjish synagogue. The altar is white and pale blue, with touches of gold, the frontal is in imitation of brown narble. Above the Mtar 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 end child, the other St. Joseph. On the walls of the Sanctuary are delicately frescold pictures of St. Peter and St. Paul . The Communion Bailing 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 G- overnment, having consented to put up a Post Office and custom house which add materially to the appearance of the village.
