» Bethe! to_Dlxvllle Notch.
DEAR Gaznrrn5~As we have before
written yon, Bethe]. is the point of railroad
departure to Dixville Notch,now known
'to tourists as one of the most wonderful
exhibitions of. wild and rugged nature to
be found outside of Switzerland. Starr
King makes the strong Statement that the
ride from Bethel to Dixvillc is not equaled
-- _on the American Continent. It is certainly
the most remarkable of anything our eye
has ever beheld east of the Rocky mountains.
The “ Notch” is' distant from ‘Bethcl forty-
eight miles, and requires three days of stage
or wagon riding to accomplish. Early of a
bright Monday morning, our good host har-
_ nessed his “solemn sorrel” horses—“ Bun-
' ’dy”‘and “ Tudy-i-o,” by euphonious name-'
to the' family carriage. Beneath the seats
were packed provisions for three day’s of
pic-hie dinners for the six eager passengers,
and provcnder for the willing steeds.
Night brings the weary travelers to the
comfortable hostleries of Umbagog Lake
and Errol Dam, but the mountain, rocks
and wild woods ofi‘er the only facilities for
the noun repast. Leaving “ Locke Manor”
at eight, we drove for about six miles along
the banks of .the placid Androscoggin,
when we struck “ Bear River,” where the
grandeur. of cloud piercing mountains, on
either side of us, is at once augmented by
the wildest and most grotesque of rock out
V beds of this mostwonderful of American
rivers. The first haltd's made at “ Screw
Auger Falls." Here some primitive water
torrent,,now unknown to man, has .cut
dowi'i into the solid granite full forty feet,
apdbored smoothly twisted flanges through
the rock as if some huge auger had pierced
itwith its steel spiral points. Cascades and
pools, clear as crystal, lend a sweet charm
. to the rugged and awe-inspiring scenery
of the main chasm, while “Speckled Face"
and “Saddle-back” mountains furnish wild
back grounds for the picture. Next we halt
,atIthc Horse ShoeFalls, taking its name
from the singular configuration on top of
fig primitive rock identical with an exag.
gcrated horse ,shoe. Here the solid granilc‘
has been wornand cut by some primeval
. rush of waters similar to Screw Auger.
Our steeds at this point are tetheredpnd fed.
A place cleared on a smooth rock beneath
a shady cedar, and we eat our first out-door
dinner. The keen,clear air of the moun-
tains and the appetizingaroma of hay val-
lays~ and. fir-trees, give a hearty relish to
.the viands, while the juniors 'of the party
- , bring in a dessert of red-raspberries, large,
fresh and ,luIscious, which hang in tempting
;‘ .beautyaiid profusion all along the road-
sides. Moose Chasm, a deep, narrow gorge,
cut down, some forty feet into solid granite,
is the next wonder to halt our panting
steeds.
Grafton Notch is so close an interluce of
mountain bases as to look but a few yards
distant, as if ‘thc road was cut off, and our
progress was to he abruptly stopped. Not
so—.a sudden tu'n carries the road 0.
through- a narrow gorge. A huge land-
fi'. slide came near filling up the road and
river, but a few months since, neat: this
point, and the old dead trees and debris of
thehigh mountain sides are yet visible oi]
either side of the road. ‘
From our present summit we bid adiei
»"o-wild Bear River, and strike the pebbly
bed 0f the -“ Cambridge.” This is a small
trout stream,,which we follow till it empties
into the romantic lake, Umbagog. Passing
thisipicturesque and- trout teeiing sheet of
- water, fringed all about its margin with
.overh'anging. pines, cedars, firs and birch’,
we pass on to our first night's resting place
at Errol Dam. Here, sweedy nestled and
deeply embowered in aspruce fores’t,,ouij
,tired party were more than delighted to see
a comely, newly painted, and most attraci
live little hostlery, known to hunters and
tron-teatchers as «“Fickett’s Hotel.”
. well-might one “ attempt. to paintthunder’f
as to describe the indescribable charmpro-i
_ duced by this welcome picture, which bursts.
all,of-a-sudden’ upon the traveler's‘eye..'
The sweet‘little house, close beside the lake‘
at the‘Androsco'ggin’s mouth, crowded into:
the cedar bank, was like a bright diamond
in a setting. of. purest emeralds.
A little water jet froman adjacent Spring
5th its cool, bewitching spray up several
feet from a wooden spiggot driven through
‘ic' center hole of a discarded grindstone,
making a must unique, self-improvised
fountain before the hotel main entrance,
,eclipsing in interest all the most costly at-
tempts a't fountain art we had ever seen.
But when, on entering our rooms, we found
them clean as wax, the bed linen immacu-
late, andmost wonderful of all, spread over
hair mattresses, and they inturn reposing up-
on luxurious spring-bottoms,—-it only need-
ed the sudden summons to a smoking hot
.trout supper to make us, tired 'as we were,
the happiest of earthly mortals. And here
let us say for landlord Ficket, that his Errol
DamvHotel-is the only'placc anywhere in
theiuterior of Maine where ‘we have found
so comfortable and luxurious a bed. There
'is an inexcusable disregard of modern im-
provements and comforts in sleeping, most
painfully apparent.to the traveler all over
Miiiue themOment he leaves her larger
cities. Hep‘s feather beds (with frdgments
of ' the fowl too often thrown in) and broken
straw underticks, answered, perhaps, a half
century ago, but this age has progressed,
and in nothing are the hospitable homes of
the Pine Tree .State more deficient than
good, wholesome, easy, spring beds.
“ Tired nature’s sweet restorer” worked
marvelous refreshment for our weary party
at the Errol Houso. The thermometer
stood at aboutu369, and the rousing birch
fire gave an added glow to our evening and
morning’s parlor convocations,whilc wool-
en blankets were a prime necessity for the
couch. It was near six in the morning
when we awakened to hear the birch again
crackling on the hearth and the flames roar-
ing up the chimney, and just in time to see
the'sun in his coming, lighting upall the
eastern hills with his gloridus beams, and
breakingthrough branch and spire of the
evergreen-crowned ' mountains. We had
scarce drank our fill of this glorious sun-
rise, and while yet f‘joeund (lay stood tip-
toe on the misty mountain tops,” when we
wereysummoned to breakfast. And such a
repastl. What would the Fifth Avenue or
Dclmonieo give' could they furnish such a
spread for- their guests? Muffins, smoking
hot, from corn jusj cracked; chicken and
game, and a huge platter of those speckled
sprites or the cool mountain streams, with
but a few minutes between hook and spit,
and a breakfasfdessert of sweetest cream
and thel‘arge'st, most, tempting and luscious
raspberries we have ever encountered any-
where, bnt which grow wild to thoextent
of thousands of bushels! And 811 this
“ dcmnition total’.’ of. creature comfort for
fifty cents per meal, and the same for lodg-
lugs! .Forxany' who seek a place of agree-
able 1 resort," and ~~ especially if enjoying
peaceful seclusion" amid the wildest scen-
cry, 9nd at farc.of trout and wild fowl, we
moStenthusiastically commend “ Errol Dam
Hote ” And now is the very best season of
the‘ wh‘ol'c‘year for the sportsman to go
there, either- with gun or reel. .
Starting‘ from Fickett’s, we made Dix-
ville Notch about eleven, :1. in., having halt-
ed once to view a multiplied cascade and
rock gorge, Very like Moose Chasm, on the
right of our road. ' . '
The,“ NOlch” is a narrowgot'gc through

fantastic forms, and wear a doleful aspect
of decay. The rock seems a mongrel con-
glomerate of granite, red-sandstone, mica,
quartz and :‘slate. The ascent to "Table
Rock” is very precipitous, but the county
has been to the expense of adjusting steps
from the square stones and erecting a lad-
der at one perpendicular point. The top of
TableRock must. he.some six to eight hun-
dred feet above the road bed and not'less
than 2,5C0 above'the sea 1 el. Itisbut
about eight feet broad, but, its top extends
out on is projecting angle many feet beyond
its base, and either from below looking up-
ward, or from its summit looking down, it.
trenches closely on the frightful. But what
a view meets the ‘eye from the summit!
Far off to the left the sources of our beauti-
ful Connecticut are seen.“ Now a little, sil-
ver thread,and then agood sized brook,
til! it is lost amid the hills and mountains
to the sduth. The Canada border seems
but a few reds ofi‘. With a glass the tower-
ing top of Mt. Washington is seen'to pene-s
trate the clouds, and in fine, one thinks he
can see about “all the nations of the earth,”
so clear is the sky and so near to Heaven do
we seemingly stand.
After descending, we drive a couple of
miles homeward and swing into an enticing
grove on the right for our secoud pic-nic
dinner. It is eaten with a zest experienced
only when “good digestion wfiits on appe-
tite.” Our kind, but entirely original
“ host," driver and guide, informs us that
the melody of falling waters which has
mingled with the Eolian airs playing
through the pine and cedar branches while
we were at dinner, is the Dixville“Cas-
code," and but a few rods ofi‘, though con-
cealed by the thicket. Arush is made for
the cascade by the exeursionists with their
keen appetites now fully satisfied by a regal
lunch. And lo!——of all the strange won-
ders and fascinating beauties of our trip this
surprise, which seems to have dropped
down upon us, is the climax! A boiling
stream, not larger than a barrel, comes
tumbling down as far as the eye can reach,
in soapy foam and hub les, over almost per-
pendicular precipices, j ting here and shoot-
ing there,but ever pouring, like an unbroken
stream of fieeey cloud, down out of Heaven !
From our standing place, but a speck of the
blue sky aboveais is visible, and the illusion
of its flow from the clouds is complete! It
is the Bridal fall of the Yosemite in minia-
ture. We never left a bit of scenery so
completely fascinated and so reluctantly.
From the cascade we drove around the
lake’s margin to the “Umbagog House,”
where, in one of the most primitive and
unpretentious of cosylittle hostleries, we
found another roua'ng birch fire in an Open
parlor fire place, a bountiful supper, more
of our raspberries and cream, beds beyond
the average of the State,—good cheer, and
every kind attention. Sonndly we slept,
but our heart and our dreams lingered with
the “ Cascade.”
Next morning, our twelve year-oldim-
provised a kite siting into a fish-line, and in
less than half an hour and not three rods
from our hotel, pulled forth some two dozen
trout. On these, Willi other bounties, we
breakfasted. Then visit to the little
steamer which carries excursion parties up
and about the lake, and another half hour’s
'trout fishing, and we were off for our home
ridOto Bethol, where we arrived in the af-
ternoon of'the third day, in excellent con-
dition, and more than satisfied with our
mountain ride to famous Dixville Notch.

has been further developed and now} they
have gotten out a flagging stone of the
following dimemfions, viz forty feet long,
six feet wide and one foot in thickness, the
top and bottom surface both good. This is
a monster, and would be sufficient to flag

We are reminded that passengers going to

RailroatIteed not go.to Bridgepost, but can
go by the way of the Danhury Road and
connect with. the up Housatonic train at
Hawleyville. This route saves time and
travel, and if the Danbury Road would only
sell through tickets and check baggage
through, (as is done at Bridgeport,) it would
be decidedly the best route is it is the most
direct. This plan would help both roads
and ought to be adopted.

Our Company, with jlieir steamer left
here, headed by Wannemacher’s hand, from
New York,, at 5:30 a. m.', going thus early
on account of the tinfireqnired to load the
steamer at South Norwalk. They left in
the 06:40 train arriving in Waterbury at
about 10 o’clock where they. were received
by Citizens’ Engine Company No. 2, of that
eify, and escorted to their Engine house,
thence, after. a short rest they were marched
to flie Scovill House where a fine compli-
mentary dinner had been prepared for the
Phoenix. boys ; it was gotten up in the best
and most elaborate style" and comprised all
the delicaciesof the season to which full
justice was done—the boys being somewhat
hungry owing to their early start.
After dinner they were marched back to
the Engine Duse. On each occasion they
were led by their fine band which was
applause ' on all sides for its brilliant play-
ing—it was the‘band of the occasion.
At one o’clock the» Department was in-
spected by the Chief Engineer and assist-
ants, then reviewed by the Mayor and
Common Council, after which a march was
taken through and about the city. The
streets in the center were thronged with
people and the principal stores and build-

line flags were. displayed, fountains were
playing and floral offerings of boquets and
flowers were in lavish profusion,—-at several

niicnc'dcks- Analysis or the Bible.
Rev. Mr. Wakeman is now engaged in
canvassing the Borough for this very valu-
abli: work, and reports so far having met
with good success. The-book is not only a
complete Bible in itself, but much more,
containing as it does, every verse in the old
and new Testaments, together with Cruden’s
Concordance, four complete indexes, pro.
nouncing and interpreting dictionaries, ta-
bles, history of the Bible, together with col-
ored- maps, steel engravings, Family Record,
etc. It is handsomely bound in cloth, full
gilt; '
As it is a work of great value to all
students of the Bible, we cheerfully surren-
der space for the following testimonials
from members of the legal profession, and
refer‘to those recently published by our
local clergy :— '
face of some pre'udices, Dr. Hitchcock's
Analysis of thc_ ihle, and am convinced
that it is a very useful book to any one who
desires to obtain a knowledge of the Scrip-
tures. The arrangements are such that all
texts contained in the Bible relating to any
particular topic can b?) found at a moment’s
notice, and it is therefore convenient both
as a book for reference and for careful
study. Asa B. Woonwann.

This is to certify that I have examined
Dr. Hitchcock's Analysis of the Bible with-
in the past few days and reccommend the
same to all desirous of studying and under-
standing the Word of God. I think the ar-
rangement of the Scriptures in this work is
such as to save one much time often in look-
ing out and comparing different portions of
the Bible. .

WHAT THE Bos'rox NEWS says anonr
MURRAY'S Omens—The Daily News of Bos-
ton, one of the most staid journals of the
“hub," has the following good words for
John H. Murray’s Great Railroad Circus.
As the News neither notices nor advertises
the local places of amusement the compli-
ments!) Mr. Murray and his company pos-
sesses much greater value.
One of the most pleasing, interesting and
attractive of this class. of entertainments ' is
Mr. John H. Murray’s Railroad Circus, now
exhibiting at the Coliseum grounds, and be-
fore we mention the performances an allu-'
sion to the proprietor and his well organized
troupe will not be out of place. A, short
chat with Mr. Murray revealed at once the
perfect gentleman, and a man .of very exten-
sivc travel, well versed in the peculiarities
of human nature, a close observer and a
keen financier, yet With no approach to
meanness, The organization of the company
is perfect, eve department has its superin-
tendent, and cry subordinate knows what
h' pecial duties are and performs them
it”. We were struck with the neatnesa of
the whole company, performers, laborers,
horses, harnesses, and the whole equipment
throughout, while a stifi more laudable feat-
ure was the perfect decorum. Not a word
of profanity, vulgarity, or boisterous lan-
guage Was heard; each one attended to his
own business in a quiet unassuming manner.
The performers were among the best ap-
pearing, mos'flintelligent and gentlemanly
we have Snell in the profession, and with
their hale, hearty and happ appearance at:
tracted iii-ich attention. It on and animals
looked as iflhey were wellfed. Mr. C. H.
Day, Superintendent of one of the depart-
ments, very politely showed us the work-
ings of- everything behind the curtain, and
gave us very pleasant details which would
interist the public had we time and space
to them. The performance opened
witht e grand entree, introducing the Eu-
campment, which is a somewhat new and
very attractive feature. Mr. Murray him-
self leading, and in him we see the perfect
horseman while, th who accompanied
him were the best ev seen in the saddle.
Mr. Wooda Cook must be considered the
best that has ever been in this city. His
performances were marvelous both on.
horseback and off, while his double somer-
saultfover six horses would seem incredible
unless witnessed. ~ Heis a fine looking,
health specimen of a human being.
ful, while the bounding jockey by Mr.
Fredericks, could not he surpassed. M’lle
Louise Cotrrell is an accomplished lady rider,
and a. perfect equestrienne. She appears
like a lady and all her performances are
characterized by becoming modesty and
propriety. She acts well her part, both in
the ring and out, and is one of the best in
her profession.
Mr. James E. Cook, the daring rider of six
horses we class among the best performers
in the troupe. The ease and skill 'with
termined obedience.
'
muslin crowded only eight minutes behind.
which he controls the animals is intensely
interesting, and his own movements are the
perfections of equestrian grace. '
Mr. J ohu Cottrell- is one of the most inter-
esting performers of the troupe. His feats
upon the rolling globe with the knives and
other implements, have been acquired by
hard labor, and are truly meritorious.
Mr. John LeClaire performed with the
bottles and chairs in balancing su erior to
all of his rivals, while Mr. Shed eClairc
lost no honor in his wonderful performances
of zampillerlostation. Mr. Tom Barry and
Signor Almonte, as clowns were especially
wise, witty, and wonderful. There are many
performers we should like to speak of but—
space wilfnot allow. As a whole it is the
best Circus that has Visited Boston for a,
great while. There is nothing to ofi‘eud the
most fastidous, and the. performances are
distinguished by promptucss and perfection.
The horses are among the best we have seen.
Black Eagle, Mr. Murray’s' favorite horse,
valued at $5000, isa perfect specimen of
equine beauty. We might allude to many
others, but it is apt necessary. The audi-
ences at these performances are bomposed
of the best classes of our citizens. many
ladies and children availing themselves of
the opportunities afforded by the matinees,
and in the evening the crowds that flock-to
the canvass and amphitheatre are 0 large
that it is necessary to go early secure
seats. Last evening the attendance was so
great tbatmaay were unavoidably turned
away. -_
