As you go east in Canada people get nicer. By the time you get to Ontario, people in Canada are like people were in the the US in the 19th century. They offer to let you use their barn for the night for your horse and to sleep on the veranda if you show up after 6 PM when the hostelry in the town shuts down. You can generally get some brandy, a hot bath, if you let the kettle boil on the woodstove, and they will read the bible by candlelight and join hands and sing psalms. They will put out an extra apple pie, and bake a couple of loaves of bread. In the morning, the eldest boy will go with you in the shay with his flintlock looking out for Indians, and guide you to the next town. Be sure and take some Daguerreotypes of the covered bridges and the steam paddle wheelers on the rivers out here. Tourist attractions are the new power generator Adam Beck is putting in at the falls, and riverboat gambling. Gas street lights were just installed down here, and we will be getting some brand new Edison plants to light the town with come next year. EC<:-}
