A Trip to Watkins’ Glen.
We shall never tire of riding in the Broad
Palace Cars of ‘the Erie Railway. For say
what you will of the stock operations of
‘Fisk and Gould, no 'railway on this conti-
nent furnishes such luxurious accoulmoda-
tions to travelers, as this much abused Erie
road. ' '
Wending our way up through the marshes
of Jersey, we soon sped on to the rich and
ever enjoyable pasture grounds of lacteal
Orange County; thence westward through
the pine and hemlock regions, of the upper
Delaware and Susquehanna, where lumber,
tan-bark, canal boats, and immense fields of
full-bloomedbuckwheat,everywhere greeted
the eye; and scenery, the counterpart of
Switzerland, gave cuchantment to the land-
scapes. Hailing at Elmira, one of the thriv-
ing mid—land cities of Central New York,
we changed cars for Watkins, a distance of
twenty-two miles on the Northern Central
road, and at the head of that charming sheet
of inland water, Seneca Lake. Here we ar-
rived about 9 o’clock p. m., somewhat be-
hind time, a little weary and hungry, but
thoroughly cold, which was some satisfac-
tion, after having been in a dropsical state of
perspiration for a month and more previous.
After a spirited contest with about a dozen
hack-drivers, who insisted we could-not pos-
sibly get in at the Glen Mountain House,
and as fiercely insisted that we must go to
one of the village inns, we finally got under
way to our predestined hostlery and where
we found, (just as we expected we should)
the most satisfactory entertainment. The
house was originally designed as a sort of
refreshment arfl resting place, rather than
summer hotel, but so persistent have been
the demands of the public for accommoda-
tion that it is now arranged with a view to
the comfortable entertainment of a limited
number Of guests, and next year will be
greatly enlarged in itsbed-chamber capacities
At present it is a rough boarded Swiss
cottage, sort of an edifice, with its broad
balconies roofed like a Pacific railroad
depot, with canvass coverings, yet wearing
- withal, a peculiarly refreshing pic-nic air of
relaxation, rest and solid comfort. Should
- any Of our readers make the trip, do not fail
to place yourselves under the hospitable care
of landlord Jones, of the Glen House, as we
did, if you would enjoy all the rare delights
01 this new claimant to the favor of the sum-
mer excursionist. The hotel is located near
the crest of the lower mountain and literal-
ly overhanging the mouth of the weird {and
wonderful, and cavernous motile, now
known to the world as “Watkin’s Glen.”
This very remarkable exhibition of Na-
ture’s fantastic handiwork, and which may
aptly be denominated, the Yosemtte in mine-
ature, was first brought to public notice
about the beginning of the war by M. Ells,
Esq, formerly of New Canaan, in our own
county, and at the time a spirited and enter--
'prisiug'journalist at Watkins. Our own at-
leution was drawn to it by the same party,
and although unable to visit the locality
previously, we have directed numbers of
friends thither, and all returning with enthu-
siastic admiration Of the beauties of the Glen
scenery. Then, too, Bayard Taylor had
given us a rhapsodical account of it, and
Grace Greenwood one of her sweetest essays
in the Tribune, while Port Crayon had both
written and crayoned it all in the last May
number of Harper’s Monthly, while itinerant
correspondents and penny-liners had written
Of it'almost interminably, and yet. we must
- aver that our conceptions of its charming
beauty and sweetness—yes “sweetness" is the
' word—were totally inadequate to ith pictur-
esquerealilies. Probably during the seven
years that MnElls has so assiduously labor-
ed to bring the place to the attention of the
public, more than a quarter of a million of
visitors .have been attracted hither. .Over
thirty thousand have 'visiled the Glen thus
far this season, and the crowds are steadily
on the increase. And no wonder. We hes-
itate not to say that there is no feature of
natural scenery so charming and beguiling
anywhere on this side of the continent. As
has been said, its features are as distinct and
marked as Niagara, the Natural Bridge or
Mammoth Cave, and yet unlike all these, it
does not oppress one with awe, or tire and
weary with monotomy. Almost midwayin
the beautiful little town of Watkins (which
nestles between a range of eastern and west-
ern hills as sweetly as a babe in its cradle,
with Seneca Lake kissing its fair forehead
on the north, and a rich, green valley stretch-
ing away on its southern suburbs) opens the
towering chasm, with walls, three hundred
feet high on either side, constituting the
mouth or entrance ‘to a series of cataracts,
cascades, water-falls, water-drips, pools and
gleus, which no pen or pencil can adequate-
ly picture, and which for an'extent of over
two miles, constantly charm the vision of
the Sightseer, with new delights, new vistas,
new eccentricities, new wonders of weird
and fantastic rock formations, and excava-.
tions of cliff and turret, and battlements,rc-
quiring long staircases to surmount and nu-
merous tiny bridges to cross, and yet in no
part of it, with all its sweetest, sublimest
grandeur, is there a spot where the mind or
the imagination is appalled or carpi-eased as
at Niagara, or the Yosemite, with the terrors
of creative might. On the contrary, from
first to last, and during our half dozen and
more traverses of the entire Glen, the ex-
clamation Of the Psalmist would constantly
and involuntarily suggest itselt,—“ How
BEAUTIFUL are Thy works, oh Lord of
hosts.”
Perhaps we can give no more truthful or
faithful description of the place, than in the
words of our own ten year old, who accom-
panied us in our rambles. After “doing”
the Glen and drinking in all its rare Won-
ders, the child exclaimed—“ I didn’t think
God had ever made such a pretty place as
this.” And then, as clenching his enthusi-
astic appreciation of its delights, he added
in drildlike simplicity, “ Can’t I come here
again, sometime, and bring mother?” Yes,
reader, you and I have lived here within
two hundred miles, a. a twelve hours’ ride,
of one Of the rarest and most enchanting
phasesof this wonderful globe of ours, and
not known or raalized, or experienced and
enjoyed an actual sight of this wonderful
work of Him vlho is the author of the bean-
tifiil and of His children’s appreciation of it
in nature. We were not a little rejoiced to
find at the Glen House, Capt. Hope, who
wears with his laurels as a faithful soldier of
the Union army, the preeminence of being
the best water and landscape painter of our
times. Here he has been laboring the en-
tire season and been most wonderfully suc-
cessful in placing pn canvass the “ Rainbow
Poul.” '
There ale to be many more months of pa-
tient labor, yet expended on his picture as
the minut'eness of its detail, as far as it has
progressed,‘clcarly indicate, but he promises
to have it ready for the February Artists’ Ex-
hibition at the New York Academy on 23d
st. updfith Avenue. The picture is for Mr.
Relief Noroton Hill, Stamford, and is to
bringthocteet ArtiSt $10,000. We do not
hesitatotoprohounce it the most exact and
exquisite transcript fi'Om nature, that we
have ever seen. on canvass, aside fi'om its
artistic merits of outline, shade, coloring,
the. We earnestly entreat all our friends
not to fail to see this painting whenever it
shall come before the public, for certain, we
are that all who do so, will heartily thank
us for the pleasure thus conferred. The
month of September will be the most de-
lightful season of all the year to visit the
Glen and we as earnestly advise all who
would indulge in a short, inexpensive trip,
to pay the Glen 9. visit this year. The most
direct route is by Eric R. R. to Elmira, but
the trip may be varied via the N. Y. Cen-
tral and Canadagua RIB” or from Geneva
via steamer down the charming Seneca lake
to Watkins. But "stand not upon the order
of your going, but go at once.”
A fine little steamcrYacht,the“Henrietta,"
will take you out for a sail on the lake at a
moments notice and no one should omit this
share of the delights Of a visit to Watkins.
We here return our grateful thanks to our
old journalistic friend,Mr.Ells for so rare and
to us, so unexpectedly enjoyable treat. He
has done much for the public in letting the
world know of this charming locality and
he has conferred a fame and benefit upon
the town of Watkins which will last to the
end of time, yet we doubt if half of the per.
ple realize a fraction of the magnitude of his
contribution to their lasting prosperity and
geographical importance. We hereby most
devoutly acknowledge our share of indebt—
edness to him.
Our trip extended to N iagara,but itis the
same old story—Grandly sublime! Awful-
ly terrible! We. have found an honoetHack-
man there, however, and confidently com-
mend him to our friends,—-James Davy, on
the opposite corner from the International.
Also our old friend Upson of the New Haven
Road and subsequently of the Saviu Rock
House, innddition to his monster Hotel at
Erie, runs a most delightful summer House
at the Falls, just opposite the N. Y. Central
Depot. His Connecticut friends will find
the best of entertainment at his excellent
Caravansary. A nights ride in the sumptu-
ous Sleeping Coach, “Jae. Risk, Jr., and we
are “home again,” to tell our story, and try
and tempt our overworked readers, to “go
and do likewise." ' B.
THE SEVENTEENTII RE-UNION.—Our
favorite county regiment is to hold its an-
niversary festival at Westport to-day (Tucs-
day), and a full representation is expected.
The citizens of Westport have made special
efforts to render the occasion a pleasant one
to the soldier boys and their friends, and we
hope to see a large and fine turnout of the
veterans.
Messrs. S. E. Olmstead, Stephen Hoyt, and
Josiah Kellogg were appointed a committee
to rent and locate stands.
[We respectively suggest that this com-
mittee shall refuse to rent any of the stands
to venders of intoxicating liquors. Such a
course would meet public approval, secure
a better attendance, and abate what has
heretofore been an annual nuisance and dis-
grace—South Norwallc Independent.
W We most heartily second the sugges-
tion of our city cotemporary, and believe-it
will receive an earnest response from every
true friend of our County Agricultural Soci-
ety. It would not take more than another
such a disgraceful and outrageous exhibition
of rum, rowdyism and leruess, as was dis-
gustingly rife at certain refreshment stands,
last year, to utterly ruin our Fair, which it
has taken so many years of pains-taking
care to build up.
g“ The story which has been put in cir-
culation that the 4th Regiment would not
parade this fall, is untrue. A field day will
be held and will probably take place about
the 201h of September here in Norwalk.
Gov. Jewell has already notified the ofiicers
of his intention of reviewing the regiment,
and a meeting of unusual interest is antic—
ipated by the officers on account of the in
auguration of several reforms under the new
militia law.

Col. Lockwood has long had in project a
plan for enlargement and improvement of
his beautiful Hall. We understand that he
proposes to extend the building in the rear,
add a lllansard roof, and make elaborate
alterations and improvements in the Hall
itself; when the Col. attemps anything of
this kind he is sure to complete the work in
a highly creditable manner, and we expect
that in the future as in the past his Hall will
maintain the reputation of being one of the
handsomest and best in the State.

In connection with the grading under the
track, on East Avenue, the Selectmen cou-
template another imprpvement. They have
caused a survey to be made from the upper
end of the burying grounds to the corner of
Rufus Raymond’s Homestead, and propose
running the street in a straight line between
those points, and fill up the hollow as much
as possible with the gravel taken from the
railroad. In order to do this it will be nec-
essary to take some land from Burr Hen-
dricks. This will be a decidedimprovement
and can now be carried out with little ex-
pense. They are also filling up the hollow
in the road near the residence of Frank B.
Smith.

W At the horse trot this afternoon there
were five entries, and four horses upon the
ground, viz: Wm. A. Van Sant,‘ S. A.

The three first heats were easily won by
Douglass in 2:37: 257%; 2:41.

Will not the property holders on Knight
street do something to improve the side-
walks. At present the lower part of the
street is without walks, and in a diseredita-
ble condition. The street is much travelled
by foot passengers, and if not soon provided
with decent gravel walks an order to “curb,
gutter, concrete or flag” may reasonably be
expected.

The Grand Commandery of Knights
Templars’commence their annual encamp-
ment at Railroad Grove,New Haveu,to‘day,
continuing three days. This is expected to
be the largest encampment ever held in
the State. At least five excellent Brass
Bands will be in the line to-day.
The drill will be conducted by Captain J.
G. Philc, executive officer, under the direc-
tion of R. E. Sir W. W. Storey, Crand Com-
mander. There will be one hundred tents
pitched on the lot near Railroad Grove, in
the form of a parallelogram, the tents of the
Grand Commandery being erected in the
center in the form ofa triangle. On Wed-
nesday a grand clam bake will be provided
for the five hundred Sir Knights and invi-
ted guests, aud on the evening of the same
day a grand hop will take place at Grove
Palace.

Our; New POOR Roman—This edifice is
now about completed, and is amonument
creditable alike to our toWn and to our
Board of Selectmen. The old almshouse is
a disgrace to us and to our civilization, and
we know that all right-minded tax-payers
will rejoice with us that it is so near its ob-
literation. We hope the time is not for dis-
tant when an arrangement maybe made
with Fitch’s Soldiers Home, for the care of
all the poor children now cared for at the
almshouse. It is a sad sight to witness
young and innocent children growing up
amid the contaminations of the almshouse.
The time is near approaching when the or-
phans of the war will have left the“ Home,”
at Darien, and whatnobler use could it be
then put to than in the succor of such young
children as may be, through no fault of
theirs, thrown upon the towns of our county
for support. We commend the suggestion
to that large hearted philanthropist, Mr.
Fitch, for utilization and practical adoption.
A city correspondent 'seuds us the follow-
ing :— Tlie"‘clam bake” business is a farce,
and carried on only for the rum interest, one
incident will show this, a prominent ofilcial
gave “Bob Bones” 25 cents to yell his war
whoop, at the clam bake. With this amount
he obtained liquor and became intoxicated.
On coming to the city “Bob” was arrested,
tried, and sent to Bridgeport for 30 days,
costing the city $7.40, others came home
more beastly drunk than he,but kind friends
cared for them and kept them from the lOck-
up. Oh, consistency thou art a jewel.

Tlie Fat Men’s Clam Duke.
The annuel Clam Bake atGregory’s Point
under the auspices of the Connecticut Li-
brary Association, was held on Thursday
last. The morning was unpleasant and
probably many from out of town were pre-
vented from coming for that reason. Du-
ring the day, however, the sun came out
scorching hot, but a cool breeze from the
Sound made the atmosphere quite agreea-
ble at the Point. "
The attendance of the Fat Men was
not very large, but there was a large crowd
of spectators at the Point during the after-
noon. Miue host Sholes had provided awn-
ings on the grounds in front of the hotel,
under which the sea-food was served to all
comers. Oysters, clams, fish, corn, pola-
tocs, etc., came out of the bake steaming hot,
and were devoured with evident relish.

m We advertise in another column the
sale at auction of the real estate owned by
Melville E. Mead, a former resident of the
city of New York, and until about five years
since a partner in the substantial wholesale
grocery house of E. & R. Mead, Jr., & CO.,
of 13 Coenties Slip.
On account of the health of his family, and
by the advice of some of the best physicians
in New York, he removed to Darien, and
has purchased real estate largely, both at
Noroton and Daricn Depot. Hehas devoted
much time, money and skill to the improve-
ment and advancement of these places.
Some of the most noted of these changes
are seen in and around the Noroton Station,
now one of the most attractive and beautiful,
places on the New York and New Haven
R'ailroad. '
The sale next week will afford a rare op-
portunity of purchasing property desirably
located and improved, at the price of the
purchaser.
Eighth nezifient Reunion.
The annual reunion of the Old Eighth

year in Norwalk, Sept. 18, in accordance
with the vote passed at Meriden last year.
Our citizens will cheerfully welcome them,
but much work must be done-in order to
have the reception pass ofi‘ ei'editably.

W Ben Butler has found one man who is
not afraid of him in the least. Butler is run-
ning himself as a candidate for Governor of .
Massachusetts, and made a speech in Spring-
field, last Thursday evening, in which he
went rough shod hit the editors who oppos-
ed him. He spoke of Joe Hawley,of the Hart-
ford C’oumnt,and said that he“displaccd him
from command in Virginia, during the war,
for inefficiency and incompetency, and he
was never seen on the field afterward.”
The words were telegraphed to Hawley,
and he sent the following red hot telegram
in reply:
If Butler said I was dismissed or removed
from my command, or was ever rebuked for
my conduct as an officer, I beg some friend
to read this dispatch, in which I say the
charge is an infamous falsehood and the man
who uttered it a liar and a blackguard. The
last written communication from Butler
concerning my conduct was a copy he sent
me of his recommendation for my promo-
tion. . R. HAWLEY.
J oc was the first man to enlist: in Connec.
ticut as a private, and he served through the
whole war, retiring in January, 1806, as a
brevet major-general. He served under
Butler too long to be afraid of him now, and
if Ben thought he could silence him by any
such ungenerous and uncalled for attack, he.
was mistaken in the man. ‘
Gen. Hawley subsequently in a Cardjin the
Gourant reviews his personal and Military
relations with Butler and thus succinctly
concludes :—
When I have criticised him befgre it has
been simply for his financial and other poli-
tical abominations. He has chosen to attack
In record as a sohlier, and I strike back
Without reservation. He is—as aforesaid—

that there is often something in the pro-

self. We were “doing” Montreal last . year
and of course wanted to see the famous ca-
thedral, Claimed in the guide books to be the

tinent... We arrived in heat of a structure
we supposed to be the cathedral, but a com-
panion expressing some doubt, we stepped
up to a Canadian who had just come out,
and asked him what church’it was. He
looked sharply at us for a moment as if sur-
prised at the question, then answered with
broad French pronunciation, “This is Not-a
dam church.” It required an effort to keep
from laughing in his face, but we thanked
him and retired, satisfied that we were view-
ing the celebrated N otre Dame Cathedral.

[Continued from last week]. v'
Houlton is situated at the extreme eastern extrem-
ity of Uncle Sam’s fair domain, and Is the county
seat of the great Aroostook county—the county that
occupies so much space on the map. It is a town of
considerable importance In that section, and con-
tains about threethOusandlnhablt‘ants. or one- tenth
the population of the “county larger than a State.”
It: was formerly a United States military station. but
the old weather-beaten barracks were sold at auc-
tion Just previous to‘our arrival, the post having long
been deserted. There are large saw mills bore, sev-
eral furniture factories, one good newspaper ofiice,
quite a large number of creditable-looking stores, a
comfortable hotel, and a new, commodtous and
rather stylish looking court house, and several neat
public buildings.
Leaving Houlton at 10 o. m., we spent the day on
the railroad, traveling two miles backward in order
to get one mile forward, there being no direct route
to Fredericton. our objective point. At noon we ar-
rived at McAdam Junction, where we stopped
“twenty minutes for dinner," and first became aware
that we had “crossed the line." As we stepped into
the restaurant, a queeuly looking "Girl at Mughm”
with a money box at her side containing a
quantity of "shining silver” and “greasy stamps."
with a greedy eye to business, hurriedly invited us
to buy tickets for dinner, “fifty cents each, or fifty-
rxvi: in American stamps." And that was the com-
mencement ofwhat we had to expect all through the
Provinces—discount: on our money, and the same
prices in gold that we pay at home In currency.‘ The
country here was much the same in appearance as
through Maine, only that all along the road the
woods had been burned ior some little distance from
the track, and everywhere was seen charred and
blocken'ed logs or the white trunks of trees standing
like telegraph poles, stripped of branches and bark.
Now and then we passed large steam saw mills, al-
ways humming and buzzing and hurried, the lumber
running from the machine directly on to the plat-
form cars. We finally reached Fredericton, in time
for supper, putting up at the Queen Hotel on Queen
street. This city Is pleasantly located on the west
bank ofthe St. JohnBlver, and is about the size of
NorwalkBorough. The streets are laid out at right
angles, but the houses have a rather dingy, unpaint-
ed look, are chiefly of wood and huddled together.
The buildings recently erected, however, are mostly
ofbrick. The river is navigable for large hosts as
far as the city. and small stern-wheel, fist-bottomed
steamers ply above. ' This was formerly. an impor-
tant military post, and covernment buildings occupy
the best part of the town, facing in? river. The
troops have recently been withdrawn, the new Do-
minion feeling able to take care of itself. The Gov-
ernor oi the Province occupies the old Governor’s
house, a substantial, commodious and pleasantly
situated building, with quite extensive grounds.
There is 'a large, fine-looking “Cathedral” here,—
Chnrch oiEngland—and a number of neat looking
churches of other denominations. The spire of the}
conspicuous Methodist church is surmounted by a
hand—the index finger pointing upward. There h
a large brick city hall and market, costing‘some 820,-
000, and an equally good court house. The most im-
posing edifice, however, is a building erected as an
exhibition hall, in which fairs are held. It. was built
to show what could be done with cheap materials in
the way of ornamental architecture. It covers con-
siderable ground, to quite grand and beautiful in de-
sign, and Is crowned with a large dome. At a little
distance It looks much like the Crystal Palace de-
strayed by fire in New York, but, upon close inspec-
tion,appears “worse for wear." The grounds are on-
closed and fitted up in good shape, with stalls, sheds,
etc;, for animals. ,
We are reminded of Royalty everywhere, and the
people are loyal to the Queen, although possessing a
decidedly strong feeling of “Independence,” and of
friendliness to “Americans.” The principal street
is “Queen" street, the next “King" street, then there
is “Prince William” street, and other streets named
after members of the Royal family: the street lamps
are surmounted with crowns, and "Her Majesty” is
prayed for at the Cathedral.
_ At the hotel we found the following names regis-
tered: A. A. Pettengill and wife, R. Tomlinson and
wife, Mrs. A. Bishop and Mrs. D. Whiting, all of
Bridgeport, Conn. They came here, as we did,
“overland,” and we afterward found them registered
at. St. John.
At 11 o’clock we retired to our room, so thorough-
ly tired that we counted the hours we had to rest.
Just as we turned off the gas and jumped into bed,
we were startled by the alarm of fire. We didn’t
like the idea of stirring. but finally decided to go and
eials.” It proved to be a brick foundry: soon a
dwelling adjacent caught, then a large frame bulld-
iugiu the rear, and it was looking like a serious
afiair, when another alarm sounded, and a barn in
rear of the stores in the leading street was discover-
ed to be on fire. The fire department consists of a
steamer and three small piano engines. The fire-
men worked well, but the people generally did as
they do here—stood and looked on, and even the
Governor, who appeared In the crowd and ordered
and coaxed, failed to get men to work on the hand
engines, even when he asked them to follow and
work with him. There were so many old wooden
buildings closely huddled together, that It seemed
for a long time that the entire city must be destroy-
ed,but thefiremen finally checked one fire; while two
brick buildings and the firemen stopped the other.’
after ten or a dozen stores, a public hall, foundry,
dwelliughonse, barns, etc., had been destroyed.
Sunday passed quite pleasant by and on Monday
morning we took passage on the fine steamer Roths-
say for a sail down the river. eighty—five miles, to St.
John. The scenery on the river is very fine, increas-
ing in grandeur and beauty as we approach St. John.
In general character it is much like the Hu.n Riv-
er, but not so grand; Some think it equal to that
river, and the inhabitants are much pleased to hear
travelers pronounce It:~ “second only to the famous
Hudson.” .
The boat makes no landings. but stops in the mid-
dle of the river and takes in passengers and light
freight from small boats that put out to meet her
from villages. At dinner, on board, we fared much
better than at the hotels, and the charge was only
fifty cents. Here we had splendid salmon, fresh from
the river, and to know how good salmon really is,
you must taste it urea. and not after It has been
caught two weeks and carried a thousand miles.
We arrived at Indlautown, a suburb of St. John.
about 3 o’clock p. m., and took backs to that city.
St. John is now the largest city in the lower Prov-
inces, having a population 0110.000, and seems to be
growing quite rapidly. It looks as if it had been a
rather- “slow" place in times past, but now is appar-
ently omlng imbued with Yankee enterprise and
begins to look thrifty and prosperous. It is fast put-
ting Halifax in the background. The city is built on
a hill, many of the streets being cut through rock to
the depth of from ten to twenty-five feet. There is
a great deal of soft coal used here; and the place has
the smoky. dingy appearance peculiar to the Prov-
inces. There are few strlking public buildings, and
the residences generally are modest and unassuming
in appearance. In feet, throughout the entire Do-
minion there is a lack of the elegance and fine finish
so generally found in the States, but there Is usually
an air of comfort and neatness, a sort of plain, mat-
ter Of fact, home-like look. But innovations have
already commenced. Upon our arrival we found the
people enthusiastically enjoying a new sensation—
the opening of the “Victoria," a new hotel built on
the American style. The building had been thrown
open for inspection, and was thronged all day by ad-
miring multitudes, and Its grandeur was the com-
;non talk. It is owned by a company ofcitizeus,but '
was designed by a Boston architect, built by Boston
contractors, and is run by Bostoniaus from landlord
to barber. It contains about two hundred rooms, is
provided with all modern improvements, and is far-
nishea after the style of our best hotels. It is de-
cidedly the best, to all appearance, in the entire Do-
minion, and compares ihvorably with our own first-
closs hotels.
There are several suburban villages which really
form part of the city, the largest of which is Carleton,
across the harbor, reached by a steam ferry, and also
by means of a beautiful suspension bridge over the
St. John river. And here is one of the great natural
curiosities of the country. Just above the city. the
St. John and Keuetecueco rivers form a junction, ex-
panding into quite a large lake, from which they -
pass between high headlands, and finallyemptv into
the harbor. In the Boy of Fonda, the tide is noted
for getting “high”—rising and falling sixty feet. In
the harbor it rises twenty-five feet, and this causes a
queer late of things at the mouth of the river, direct-
ly under this bridge. At low tide the river flows
down naturally, forming a' sort of fall or rapids un-
der the bridge as ltlfiows into the harbor, beatlug
the water into froth. But as the tide rises it gradu-
ally overcomes thls fell and the rapids run the other
way. It seems at first sight simply impossible, and
strangers are apt to think there must be another out-
let to the river, but there is none. All the waters of
these large rivers fiOw between these high limestone
rocks, under this bridge, and the entire body is
checked and torced‘bsck'by the Bay of Fundy every
time the tide rises. The bridge is a fine structure,
built by an American. ,
Passing through Fairville and down the coast, we
find uploasont country and many tasty and rather
stylish residences, with a view out on the Bay of
Fundy, with Nova Scotio in the distance, very much
like the views from the hills around Norwalk.
The climate here. in summer, is said to be delight-
ful. The citizens complained of its being very warm
when we thought it was quite comfortable. The
nights are always cool. The season is Considerably
behind our own, as a matter of course. At the hotel
we hoped for salmon, but were constantly served
with—«had. We also found strawberries In market
—the small, wild berry; gardeners have just cout-
menced to cultivate this fruit.
The harbor is a source of much interest on account
of the high tides. Vessels come into the slips at high
tide, and are left high and dry at low tide, and
to ckmen drive down, in and out among them, for
loads. Larger vessels lay outside in deeper water at
the end of . the piers. A sort of floating bridge or
dock is built at the lorries, and for steamers, which
rises and falls with the tide, and upon which passes-
gers getto and from the boats.3At low this it forms
a long". steep hill, hard to climb. '
There are no very handsome stores, and nothing
new'or novel to he found that cannot be had in the
States. The goods seem to be chiefly of Amerlcen

SOUTH NORWALKz—The absence of some
of the more prominent families has been per-
ceptible, yet nothing of unusual interest has
occurred, until the advent of the “Fat Men’s
clam bake” when the groaning trains and
vehicles began to unload their precious
freight, Its effect was seen long after the ad-
journment from Gregory’s Point. During
the afternoon and evening, one had only to
stand on the corner of Washington St. to see
scores of drunken men and some women
pass. But perhaps all had not been to the
clam bake; most, if not all, had been. Such
an exhibition of prominent men, drunk, was
never before made in South Norwalk.
The morning services at all the churches,
last Sunday, were well attended. At the
Episcopal Chapel Rev. Mr. Reid officiated
in the absence of Rev. Mr. Spencer. Rev.
Mr. Goodsell occupied the pulpit of the M.
E‘ Church and preached both morning and
evening.
The union Sabbath School Teachers’ As-
sociation prayer meeting was held in this
church, at which addresses were made by
Rev. J. J. Woolley, Rev Mr. Hallock, F. A.
Ferris and others.
Rev.Mr.Hallock occupied the pulpit of the
Congregational church,and preached with
ability and acceptance. Rev. Mr. Dunning
is expecting to occupy his own pulpit I‘l,
and after next‘Sabbath. '
The services in the Baptist Tabernacle,
were as usual interesting: Rev. Mr. Davies

wife’s delicate health he has felt constrained

CORRECTION—It is due to our friend Ma-
ples to say that he pronounces the charge
in our last week’s correspondence (to the ef-
fect that he was ejected from a baggage car
on the N. Y. & N. H. R. R.) totally false. It
'is also due the railroad ofiElcials to say, that
they claim it is true, and that moreover, our
friend encountered .a third difficulty on the
road, and only cxtricated himself by break-
ing open the baggage-r door, &c. Be-
tween these confiictiug statements we can-
not undertake to decide and must leave it to
the puguacious Editor of the “Hour” to tell
his own story, we may add, however, that
the probabilities seem to favor Maples, for he
is not likely to rate himself as “baggage” and
insist upon being so transported, when po-
litely requested to leave, except it might
have been the night of the Fat Man’s Clam-
Bake, when, as its most active executive of
floor, it is said, he attempted to itausport
about a bushel of roast clams from Norwalk
to Westport. But then he ate the clams since
the alledged “difficulty.” 'Wc confess the
’ thing is a good deal mixed, but will bet on
Maples, till we are certain the railroad is
