DUTCH HOTEL. 163 



A considerable part of the country between Guelph and 

 Gait is settled by Dutchmen, many of whom have cleared 

 farms of considerable size, with good houses and barns. There 

 is a respectable hotel within a few miles of Gait, at which we 

 intended to stop for the night. On entering the bar-room, in 

 which were ten or twelve people, the landlord was scolding 

 his wife in high Dutch ; and as he continued deaf to our en 

 quiries, we left the house.
