 associate, the Lady Head, run to Dalhoiisie, at the 

 mouth of the Kestigouche, or a stage for that place 

 leaves Bathurst three times a week. The Lady Head 

 does not stop at Bathurst, on account of her draught of 

 water. 



On the Nipisiquit it is customary to have a camp- 

 keeper or cook for the party, and two canoemen to each

 boat for Fredericton, arriving there in eight hours at an 

 expense of one dollar and a half. The night boat runs 

 three times a week. The best house in Fredericton is 

 the Barker House^ kept by Mr. Fairweather, and in this 

 city you must get your supplies for the woods. The 

 stage leaves every Tuesday and Friday for Boiestown, 

 nominally at ten a.m., and reaches that collection of huts 

 nominally at six p.m. The fare is two dollars and a half, 

 and the ordinary charge for an extra is ten dollars, but 

 remember the stage proprietor is Kelley. The best 

 tarern in Boiestown is kept by Avery, but about five
