Peterborough, which is quite a frontier town, there being no other pretension to the term " town" north, or beyond it, is a most eccentric-looking place. Though quite in its infancy, it appears to have grown prematurely aged a sort of young child with an old man s face.
A few years ago its site was a wilderness. Now there s, I don t know how many, but a good lot of people there. Of course, the greater number of the houses, especially the large ones, or those intended to have been large, are, an...d are likely to remain, in an unfinished state.
The waste of stone in Canada in this respect is wonderful ; everybody commences to build, but nobody ever finishes ; and what is more extra ordinary, no one pulls down what any one else puts up. Young- Robinson looks with mingled veneration and contempt upon the win- do wless walls and rafterless roofs of Kobinson, senior, long gathered to his ancestors, and says, " Ha, the old man wur a fool to build that ere so large, he wur ; it ain t no use doing anything with it not it !" And so it stands until it tumbles down, or Robinson, junior, drinks himself 62 A THEATRICAL TRIP FOR A WAGER, to death, or becomes bankrupt when possibly an enterprising stranger becomes possessed of the property at the hammer, and something is done with it by somebody not, however, in the time of anybody who saw it built.
