Ontario. A view of the famous reversing falls at St. John. , with the prosperous city of St. John in the background. persists in regarding this as nothingmore than an unnecessary expenditurefor political purposes, and hence has,risen the common impression in Ontariothat politics in the Maritime Provincesare very corrupt.
