The Huron Expositor, 1885-11-06, Page 6NOVE111 NOVEMBER 6, 1885 Our Choir Trill. mom A LAN-0mm revels, Away up arnonpt the hills in the etorth.easteles district of Perthshire, in a quiet valley, far removed from the noise and bustle of our busy crowded streets, and aurrounded by huge -rugged motile-. tains, nestles Loch Clunk. Although not possessing the sublime grandeur of ' Loch Katrine, nor the majestic- propor- tions and islandbeauty df Loch Lowed, still Ginnie Loch has a quiet beauty of its own (harmonizing well with the =- roun(ling scenery), rendering it none the less pleasing to the lover of nature. Distant as it is from the l busy haunts of man, and possessing so" many natural attractions, it cannot be wondered at that Cbinie has become a favorite resort for picnickersand summer excursionists. To Clunie Loch, therefore, we, the members of that laudable yet mach - *bused iestitution, the 1"village choir," resolved to have our annual drive and nic. The morning of thet.. eventful ay broke fine, and the 'merry party all d hour. Hav- d in the drag, s four "gallant greys," and we were soon speeding gaily along the old Edinburgh Road towards Perth. High up on our right rises the rocky face of Moncreiffe Hill, while down below on our left the "silvery . Earn' flows along its serpentine course towards the Tay. On reaching the sum- mit of the rising ground, which here intervenes between the valley of the Tay and Strathearn, our road passes imme- diately over the great highway between Tunnel, through which the enormous the North and South. The Moncreiffe traffic of the North British and Cale - *mien Railway Companiespassee to and fro, is about a nine in length, and is in close proximity to Perth. From this point we also obtain a fine bird's eye view of the "Fair City down in the the dust from whence they came. Ere valley beneath,with its neat and elegant long we once more enter the "fair city," towers and spires, its fine bridges, and and here for the second time we cross beautiful meadows; with the noble Tay the Tay, and again we wend our way_ assembled at the appom ing got comfortably sea the driver whipped up h nal, tesseeady," called us once more to the little isle, and we were soon again -gathered around the festive board, par- taking of the good things provided by kind and thoughtful hearts and hands. Semi the sun sinking down in the west ern sky told us that we must now start for home, so bidding adieu to the, pleas. ant little island where we had spent a few happy -hours, we started on our homeward journey. Having changed our routes, we were still enabled to pass through fresh and varied scenes. Here we had a busy fermstead, with cattle rineks and geese quacking and cackling as they made harriedly out of our way.; anon, a row of neat cottages, with bright, happy children playing around the doors, cheering lustily as a shower of sweetmeats landed in their midst. Passing thus merrily along, en- livening the way with song and laugh- ter, we soon reached what was the most interesting object during the whole trip—viz., the Great Beech Hedge of Meikleour. This monstrous hedge, which is the largest in the world, runs along, by the roadside for about six hundred yards, and rises perpendicnlarly to a height of from seventy-five to feet. It is indeed a grand and imposing spectacle to view this huge wall of liv- ing verdure, and a sight itself worth a journey to see. But we have not long to look at this wonderful hedge; lir is soon left behind, and other objects at- tract attention, but nothing of much im- portance until we reach Scone, with its many historic reminlecences. It was here in the ancient times that the Scot tish kings were crowned, and here a13o wtas the royal residence. Many a proud kird and haughty dame have trod the very paths ami gazed on the seine scenes we now look on, still remaining in all tlfeir beauty, while their poor bodies have mouldered away and gone back to Bowing Majestically past; making a com- plete panoramic picture of no mean beauty. Eighteen hindred years ago, when the Roman cohortsunder Agricola first viewed this landscape from lan emi- nence overlooking it, they wereeo much reminded of scenes in their own sunny Italy that they shouted out in ecstacy, We have found another field. of Mars onthe banks of another Tiber." They afterwards encamped on the plain where Perth now stands, built some rude illwellings, and threw a wooden bridge across the Tay. They called the town Victoria'but the natives being so aston- ished at the _buildings which they con- sidered 'marvels of ;kill, changed the name to Bertha, signifying the Splen- did." or "Illustrious.." Thus, the origin of Perth can be traced -back for eighteen centuries. Before we reach the town we have to pass that huge building which nearly , everyone has heard of --- the Perth Penitentiary, 'a grim, dismal - looking structure, encircled by a high wall with strong iron gates, giving it an aspect of strength and security. Pass- ing' its massive entrance, .we emerge on tL FJeuth Irch, one cf those beautiful parks of which the Perth people are so proud. Through the Midst .of this ex- tensive park lies our course under a graceful avenue of noble trees, at the end of which we eater the "Fair City of Perth." Wending our way slowly through its crowded streets we soon reached the open country, and once more breathed the caller air." Our route now lay along the valley of the Tay through varied and picturesque scenery. High above us,t on our left, towered the great hills, here in gentle slopes covered with a ver- dant mantle of green, with now and then a patch of purple heather; anon. rising abrupt and rugged with rocky crags and precipices, towering in ..grand and awful majesty towards the clouds, huge pyramids of nature's architecture. Along our right stretched the fertile val- ley,with the "Queen of Scottish Rivers" fiowiug languidly along, here and there -bursting to view among the woodlands, littering brightly in the sunshine. Here. and. there many a noble mansion is observed showing its turrets high above the surrounding trees, or the white walls may be seep peeping out of their sylvan homes. Speeding merrily along we soon reached the pleasant village �f Birnam'with hand- some villas surrounded by neat, well - kept gardens. Across the Tay we see Dunkekl, and as we cross the bridge we obtain a moat magnificeht view. Down below us is the river, Clea.r as crystal, gliding smoothly alonu„ its glassy sur- face here and there broken into. a gentle' ripple as it comes in, contact with some rocky Voulder. On one side it is skirted by the well -kept grounds of the AthoIe mansion, while the towers of the old Cathedral are seen peeping from amongst their canopy of foliage, and for a balk - ground this lovely scene has the .mighty hills either covered with sombre pines,. or here and there stretehing their bare rocky crags towards the heavens. The Cathedral, which is now a historic ruin, consists of a tower, nave, and two aisles. A large Gothic window at the western end is now festooned with luxuriant foliage, but in its palmy days was bright with the pictures of saint and seraphim; while at the east end of the building is the remains of an old wall, said to have been built by the Culdees. At this romantic and historic little town we made our first halt to allow the horses to feed, meanwhile exploring the scenery in the neighborhood, and spend- ing a very pleasant hour admiring the beauties of Dunkeld. Resuming our journey we soon left the banks of tb.e Tay behind. Our route now lay across the .hills, amidst the purple, blooming heather, with here and there a MOUII- tain stream sparkling among the brack- ens as it bickers a.nd brawls down its rocky channel. Reaching our destina- tion shortly after mid-day we all em- barked, hag and baggage, on a boat, and were soon on the pretty little islet, vrhich is a short distance from the main- land. On this " isle of beauty "there is a strong substantial building, half castle half hall, which, being unoccupied, is visitors, and is a r when weather ble for outdoor first place, the placed at the service o most acceptable shel conditions are unfavor amusements. In the hunger begotten by a long drive through the Lrisk mountain air must be satiated, so all hands went heartily to work, and very soon the strong table groaned be- neath its load of good things, which however, disappeared with unusual rapidity. This most important item over, we once more embarked on board the Clunie Castle," and enjoyed a pleasant hour paddling among the water -lilies which grew in Igreat luxuriance around the shores of the' loch. The sig- through the busy streets: By the time we reach the open country- the shades of evening begin to close around us, and the scenes being quite familiar to every one the remaining four miles are spent with Key sling andtaerry chat until we at last reach , our starting .point, thor- oughly pleased with everything and everybody, ourselves included; and thus bring to a close our most pleasant and long -to -be -remembered trip. WILLIAM- LITTLE. A Money Dresser. An old -coin man visits the offices of the elevated railroad every few days to purchase the worn and plugged coin taken in at the stations, and refused at the banks, as well as the foreign coins. He also buys up the mutilated silver, nickels, and coppers that are dropped by absent-minded passengers into the gate boxes. There are many persons who, on getting their change with a ticket at the window of the ticket office, will care- fully put the ticket in their pockets, and will drop their change in the toll collec- tor's box. Some ladies drop their peck - et books in, while they tiold their ticket with great care. Inside of each 'box there is a cylinder full of teeth, and when a piece of coin,gets into the recep- tacle below, it has two holes in it or is clipped at the edges. Every day the mass of mutilated tickets is overhauled in the main office before being. sent into the waste; and these coin d are sifted out. From five to fifty dollars a day have been picked out in this way. - The money is so „mutilated that it cannot be passed, and it is sold to the old -coin sman for about seventy cents on the curious speculator sometimes carries away $600 or $700 worth of such coins.l He calls himself a "money dress- er," a business which he insists is just as legitimate as that of a coffee dresser," or a dry -goods dresser. He beats out the twisted and bruised coin, cleans the soiled copper, brightens up the foreign coin, and goes on his tour to dispose of his goods. The foreign money is sold to the stewarts of foreign vessels, and the poor American coin is worked off at the cattle yards and sent out west. Much of it finds its way into the hands of the cowboys, who spend it as freely as though it was fresh from the Mint. The money dresser searches his purchases very care - and occasionally finds an old coin that pays him several hundred per cent. profit- when resold to collectors of rare coins; " Do you make a living in this way ?" " Indeed I do, and a very nice living, too." --N. Y. Sun. - 1 —Farms continue to sell in different parts of Ontario, at good figures as will be seen by the following: Mr. B.

Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh. Out of 2000,patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malady-. This is none the less , startling when it is remembered that no five per ' cent. of patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the patent medicines and other advertised °urea never record a cure at all. Starting with the 1 claim now generally believed by the, most scien- tifie men that the disease is due to the presence of Hieing parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure to 'their extermination— ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh ie prac- tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as curee, effected by him four years ago are cure.s still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat ment has ever cured 'Catarrh. The application of the remedy is simple, arid can be done at home, and the present seasok of the year is the most favorable for,a speedy and permanent cure, the inajorityr of cases being cured at one treat- ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. If.
