New York Times. NEW LONDON, July 29.—Wc are drawing near to the end of our revolutionary centen- nials. 0n the 19th of October the surrender of Lord Cornwallis will be celebrated at York- - town, Va., and previous to this,onfie 0th and 7th of September, comes the celebration to commemorate the burning of New London, Conn., and the massacre within the walls Of Fort Griswold, on the heights opposite that city. This will be a notable event, as both the 'State and National Legislatures have appropriated money to help toward its success, and all of the people of Connecti- cut are interested in it. Our Revolutionary . annals record no more startling or horrible - event than that which took place on the 6th of September, 1781, when Benedict Arnold dcvasmted-the city that had once been his home. Certainly no bloodier sacrifice was ever ofifered on the altar of freedom, and, as the occurrence “has never been given that: prominence which it deserves, the best way to show how important a place it holds in the grand struggle that gave us a nationality is to give a brief account of the main inci- dents of the day and the causes that led to the attack. . The ceierity and secrecy of Gen. Washing. ton’s movements prevented Sir Henry Clinton from divining his purpose until he had reached a point on his southern march that would reu- der abortive all attempts of the British Com- mander—in-Ohief to relieve his subordinates. There was but one other thing to do and that was to strike a quick and decisive counter- blow. New England had enjoyed a compara- tive immunity from the ravages of war. The Puritanical thought of its people had given them a unity of mind regarding the matter of kingly rights, and their sturdy resistance to all enterprises that had as their object the abrogation of their liberties,had brought upon them the special enmity of the British Govern- ment. One result of their Puritanism was a cohesion of ideas that kept them comparative- ly free from the bane of Toryism. It had held them separate from the other colonies, in the matter of allegiance to the royal‘prerogatlve, and the divine right of Kings had no adher- ents in this section. , ~ ’ Its freedom from military molestation had caused its manufactories to flourish . and made it a storehouse from which Gen. Wash- ington drew largely in the matter of muni— tions and recruits. It let no chance to inflict a blow on its adversary pass unimproved,and its enterprise in the matter of privateers had made it a terror of English, ship owners. Some prominent town on its coast was,there- fore, the best objective point,and if he could form a permanent base from which these bel- ligerent colonies could be intimidated, it would be a triumph of which he could well be proud. A survey of the field soon decided New London to be tho place best suited to meet his desires. It had a ready access to the sea; it was so situated that it commanded the outlet of Long Island Sound and Narra- gansett Bay, and through these, the inland waters of Southern and Central New Eng- land ; it was, also, the port at which the roads running through a large agricultural and manufacturing district converged for an outlet to the ocean; and ithad always been noted for the daring of its numerous priva— tecrs and for the readiness of its people to answer every call to arms. There were but few of» its male inhabitants who had not seen service, both at sea and on shore, and it would be a fine stroke .of retribution to make a descent on their homes and win for the king a position of such great strategetic value. ' ' Sir Henry had learned promptness from his adversaries,aud having organized the expedi— tion placed it under the command of Bene- dict Arnold, whose military knowledge, enterprise, bitterness, and fertility of re- source peculiarly fitted him for such an undertaking. New London had often been threatened, but no attack had been made, and the many false alarms had given rise to a feeling of se- curity that caused the people to be careless. Thus, when a fleet was reported to be lurk— ing under the shore of Long Island opposite the mouth of the harbor,no extra precautions were taken, nor were preparations .to meet an attack made. This was on the evening of the 5th of September, 1781, and on the morning of the 6th this fleet was discovered at the mouth of the river trying to work in against a bafiling wind. The signal of alarm -—two guns discharged with "a set interval , between-was fired, but the enemy had ob- tained a knowledge of its meaning through some traitor, and added a third gun, which had the appearance of being a part of the signal and radically changed its meaning. This so disconcerted the militia that they did not assemble with that promptitude which would have made a successful resistance possible, and seeing this Col. Ledyard, the American commander, gave orders to the few men stationed on the western, or city, bank to make what defense they could. and, cross- ing the, river, tock charge of Fort Griswold, the most pretentious and best equipped de- fense of the city. .> The cnemylanded in‘ two bodies,that on the west or city side being under the command of General Arnold, while the other, destined to 'operate against Fort Griswold, was under the command of Lieut.-COl.Eyre. As the action of Arnold’s column was of the least historic importance, it will be disposed of first. Dis- embarkiug at the head of a cove some three miles from the city, it made a rapid advance and on a hill near the suburbs met its first resistance. A rcdoubt called Fort Nonsense had been thrown up at this point, and a few Militia gathered in it, .aud exchanged shots withthe British, but were so fearfully outnumbered that they quickly retreated. The advance was then continued, and the garrison of Fort Trumbull, which possessed no landward protection, escaped across the river in boats, joining the men who were col- lecting for the defense of Fort Griswold. The enemy then made a detour back of the city, entering it at the northern end. They were annoyed by a desultory fire from the scattered Militia, but the action of these men was weakened by a fault that previous expe- rience should have provided against. There was no leader, no official head, with the vim and courage that would have made each house and hill-top a vantage—ground, and it was not until thc~arrival of an organized force from Norwich that preparations for a determined ‘ advance were made. The Colonel in charge of the New London Militia was an old man, with little military knowledge and no fertili- ty of enterprise, and while he was brave enough his courage was of no service. Hav- ing gained the town, and seeing that circum- stances had made a permanent occupancy impossible, Gen. Arnold gave orders to burn and pillage, and his troops were'soon busily . engaged in the work of devastation,retreating to their ships as night approached,.thus al- lowing the Americans to return. and save much valuable property. On the Eastern snore, the erremy, under Col. Eyre, advanced in open Order till they were near the fort, when they formed in two attacking columns, and aflag was sent de- manding the surrender of the wrks. This was decisively refused. A second summons, accompanied by a threat of no quarter, was treated with contempt, and-the enemy came forward to the assault. A gun from one of the basticns sent a volley of grape among them, and caused them to open out, and they. advanced in skirmish line. A discharge of musketry followed, and Col. Eyre was wounded and Major Montgomery, the second in command, killed. This served to exasper- ate their men, and they rushed forward with an irresistible fury that carried them over the ramparts and into the fort. The Ameri— cans fought bravely, but Colonel Ledyard had only been able to collect 160 men for 'the defense, many of them being artisans and farmers from the immediate neighbor— hood. They were inadequate to make head- way against a trained force outnumbering them so largely, and seeing the enemy inside the walls, 001. Ledyard ordered his men to cease firing. An officer, who appeared to be the com— mander of the British assault, new approach- ed and demanded, “Who commands this fort i’” to which Ledyard replied. “I did,Sir, but you do new,” at the same time extending his sword in token of surrender. Grasping it by the proffered hilt, the inhuman brute deliberately plunged it through its owner’s heart. This is the account as given in, the popular histories telling of the event. and while some of the incidents are doubtful--such as that of an Officer dropping or changing his sword to take that of an enemy when he was leading an assault—the fact of the inhuman murder of Ledyard remains, and his murder was the beginning of a massacre that has placed a blot on the annals of the British army that no hard-won blazoning of fame eau obliterate. Men who had thrown, away their arms were bayoueted or shot down, and several volleys of muskctry were fired at de- fencelcss Americans who had gathered in the .magaziue. Some of the Continentals, seeing that no mercy was to be cxpected,returned to the combat and died bravely fighting against overwhelming odds. One, Capt. Stanton, a powerful man, grasped a musket. and with it killed seven of his foes before he was mur- dered. The slaughter was fearful. Of the 160 men gathered in the fort more than 90 were killfl outright, and many others were mortally wounded. ‘ Finding that he could not retain possession of his couque at, Arnold gave orders to blow up the fortifications. A train wa§laid to the magazine, and the wounded were removed. To expedite this work, the torn and writhing bodies were cast, one on top of the other,into an ammunition wagon. and when this was full the English soldiers attempted to remove it to the river bank. Finding it press heavily on them,they sprang aside,and let it go rush- ing down the steep declivity. Happily, be- fore it reached the water, it ran against a tree, and its ghastly freight was scattered upon the ground. Death released some, and the agonized cries of the sniferers were heard on the opposite side of the river. The train was , fired, but for some unknown reason the ex- plosion did not take place, and the fort was saved. Some accounts say that the train was extinguished by. a bloody hand that some dying soldier' flung across it, others that the Americans entered the fortifications before all of the British were out of them and extin- guished the flame. The fort was occupied be- fore the soldiers of Arnold had reached their boats,and then began a search for loved ones, the intense horror of which has seldom been equaled. One woman washed the blood from more than thirty faces before she found the one she sought. The sorrow was universal. No family in the district was left untouched. - In the, sparcely settled town of Groton were 40 widows and 164 orphans,the result of this sad day’s work. All ages were represented, the youngest per. son killed in the fort being Daniel Williams, of_ Saybrook, who had volunteered to take the place ofa man whose wife was very sick, and had arrived at the fort the day preceding the fight. There has never been a claimant for the honor of having caused Col. Ledyard’s death, After Colonel Eyre was wounded and Major Montgomery killed,the command of the Brit- ish columns devolved on Major Bloomfield and Capt. Beckwith. It was the last named of these ofiicers who had borne the flag that demanded the surrender, and it is said that he ‘ was much exasperated by the treatment that‘ he received. He was careful to deny the act, however, and there is no positive proof as to who did it, though it has generally been laid at the door of these two officers. That the Americans fought well, but were badly managed, is evident. Had there been a counter—attack by the Militia outside of the the fort, had there been an officer competent to organize a determined resistance On both sides of . the river, the victory would have been much more dearly won. As it was, the British lost over 200 men in the attack,which was more than the combined force of Ameri- cans cngaged in the attack. Of the American dead nine bore the name Of Avery and six that of Perkins, and Capt. Simeon Allyn, his Lieutenant, ensign, and 13 men of his company were killed. As the com- .pany had but partially assembled,and did not contain more than forty men at the most, its great loss is plain. The Americans were so terribly exasperated when they learned the full extent of the dam- age suffered, and the manner in which the British had acted, that had Arnold tried to make good his foothold it is more than prob— able that the bloodiest battle of the war would have been fought among the burning ruins of New London and on the blood-stained heights opposite. ' It is this event that will be celebrated in New London on the 6th and 7th of next, Sep- tember. The programme of the celebration is not fully perfected, but enough is known to promise a notable affair. There will be a representation of the movements of British troops, and of the assault on the fort, in which the National Guard, the regulars of the United States Army, and companies of volunteers will ' take part, the naval forces assisting. This will occupy the morning of the 6th. and will be followed by parade and review.‘ In the afternoon Gen. Joseph R. Hawley will deliver an oration, and a poem written for the occasion by Mrs. Rose Terry Cooke, will be'read by the Rev. Leonard W. Bacon, of Norwich. , There will be the usual religious and musical exercises and speeches by distinguished guests On the 7th there will be parades by societies and school children,short speeches,music,and a reunion of the descendants of those who fought in the fort and on the western bank of the river. The event promises to be one that will strongly affect the memory, and as it has a national importance should call for the co- operation aud support of all who love and honor our great land. Deeds like this are not the heritage of particularstates; they be— long to the whole people. and should be deeply impressed on the minds of those in whose bands will ,rest the future of these mighty States. _ The beauty of the scenery in and about New London is too well known to need repe- tition. We have no city more favored in the matter of situation, and the noble elms that overarch its streets make it seem cmbowered in leaves. It is, too, one of the very few cities that We have which possess an old-time flavor, its quaint and narrow streets that twist and curve to end in a most confusing way, its gambreled roofs and old warehouses, reminding one of some European. city‘hat has grown quiet with the weight of countries. It has a noble water sweep and delightful beach resorts, so that a week can ' b'c profit. ably passed within' its environs, and what— ter’ or memory-awakening week could be chosen forthis visit than that which will in- clude the coming centennial. A Long Voy_t_t_go_ by Canoe. Paddling Through Adirondack Lakes and Streams. New York Times. BLUE MOUNTAIN LAKE, July 23.—The great system of lakes and streams green- wallcd by the Adirondack county may'safcly be said to encompass an area of 6,000 square miles, forming a water course of unparalleled grandeur and' beauty, and though now the highroad to the great forest of the interior and north, yet in many places they preserve ,their primitive sanctity, unfrequentcd except by the larger game that here finds refuge from the advancing throng of health and leasure seekers. Blue Mountain Lake, pt an elevation of nearly 3,000 feet, is the first of the series, at the foot of the mountain of that name, and here the start can be made by canoe or steamer. Our first glimpse is at night. A succession of thunder-storms have centered about the grand old mountain, and lurid flashes stream downward from its summit, new bursting in mid-air, a gigantic and terrible pyrotechnic display. Suddenly a ball of fire appears high in the air, seeming to pause an instant, then bursting with a deafening crash, lighting up the hills and the ghostly realities of the scene. In the glare that follows we catch a glimpse of distant peaks, a broad stretch of water dotted with foam-slashed islands, of waving trees whose crash as they fall joins with the rever- berating roar of the thunder that, reinforced rolls Off among the hills, gathering seeming strength, and, finally, borne by the gale, is dashed with a parting growl among the ridges that cluster about Panther Mountain. At sunrise the lake appears in another guise, clear as crystal and smooth as glass, set in its casing of green, its 20 or more islands reflected again and again, a conception only by the master hand. The wild, uncut forest stretches away as far as the eye can reach. from which comes the song of birds, some familiar and others new and Strange. Rich odors of spruce and pine fill the air, seeming to lift one up buoyant and strong. The clear springs, running brooks over moss-laid rocks the roar of mimic cascades, are all volumes against the poSsibility of the slightest mala- rial iufiueuce. ' . THROUGH THE LAKES. . _ A very small steamer with an unprououcc- able name,the Toowarloondah,1ies at the dock opposite Holland’s, which is the commence- ment of our journey, taking you through with one change by another still smaller steamer, with an equally difiicult name, to Forked Lake. This can be done between 3 and 6 o'clock Of the same day, allowing an hour for dinner, which is, of course, the most luxuriant method of transit, but a gross volation of the true spirit of life in the wilderness. The trip should ‘by all means be made in a canoe. A guide to Forked Lake is a luxury, not a necessity, the course being plain sailing to the stranger, ‘though theinformation gained from the guide amply repays the additional expense. Our 12 foot canoes, light enough to swing on oue’s back, are rigged for two persons, one on either end, the lady wielding the paddle, a good cane seat-back making the operation an easy one. Rubber coats and umbrella are stowed amidships, with rations for one meal, and we shove off into the waters of Blue Mountain Lake, the entrance of the grea . water-course that leads away into the wild- erness. 0n the left, as we head for the en— trance to Eagle Lake, stands a new hotel— the Prospect House—a building that has one wing finished and occupied, a hint of prob- able success next year. Our courses lies west, skirting the south shore of the lake. The lake is dead calm; not a ripple breaks its surface save where a solitary loou dives to reappear far ahead. Well in the centre the real beauties of the lake appear; its numerous islands and trees reflected in the water, the great mountain overhanging in the east, the lower hills of rich purple,its irregu- lar outline, hidden bays, and sung harbors, are charms that place it in our estimation far above the other lakes this side of the Sara- nac. Over the ridge of hills to the north an opening in the trees tells of a rough carry of a mile or more, leading to a small sheet of water called Minnow Pond. Merwin, of the Mountain House, has stocked it with trout, and its great patches of lily pads show it to be a grand place for large gamc,aud after the 1st of August the sharp lights of the deer- hunters will undoubtedly be seen around it nightly. . We have paddled nearly two miles,and the lake disappears as we turn suddenly into the narrow, winding entrance to Eagle Lake. A few rods further on a rustic bridge sp ans the stream, and here the water, though shallow,is fairly alive with fish, principally dace, perch, and suckers, the latter often afoot in length. With their curious mouths underneath,shark- lifi, they are also interesting for their habit of building nests, making them, like the lamprey,_of small stones, piling them up in a heap and forming a grotto, in which the eggs are deposited and the young when hatched find refuge. NED nnurnmn’s OLD CABIN. Winding and doublingon our course, we finally emerge into Eagle Lake, a fine stretch of water two miles in length, so named by Ned Buntline, whose old home, the “Eagle’s Nest,” comes int oview on the north shore as we clear the woods, and are reminded of his lines :' . “Where the rolling surf loves the emerald tu'._'. Where the trout leaps high at the hoyering fly Where the sporting fawn cross the soft green lawu, And the brows’ shrill .cry bodes nigh— , There is my home—my wildhood home.” Buntliue was naturally a man of superior talents, but drink was his evil genius. His log cabin, erected in 1855, is still standing in front of a little _more pretentious modern building erected by the present proprietor. The place is now spoken of as the clearing, and the romance that is supposed to have gathered~ about the “Eagle's Nest” and its owner is fast flying away. We found some of‘Buntlin’s old companions evcufikuew not Of his whereabouts. One thought he was dead; another said he went South during the war, and was now scouting in the West. Eagle Lake is plain sailing, there being no islands in it, and pushing ofi from Ned Buutline’s old home we made for Utowana, reached by river so narrow that there is barely room for a boat to turn. If the stream had been doubled and twisted to order, the effect would not be more confusing to' the map- maker. Now we are seemingly losing ground, and find ourselves back of the spot ' we had gained a few moments before. Pond lilies of Surprising size rest on the water in massive beds of their own leaves, now spanning the stream completely with- the larger leaves of the yellow variety, so that are literally move over a bed of the beautiful flowers, our gunwale, rowlocks, stern, and mimic mast bedeeked with them. The scenery here grows wilder, the trees larger. Gigantic pines tower above as with fantastic foliage, ' Others, riven by the lightning, are twisted and torn into inde- scribable shapes, total wrecks; and again others stand dead, their bare‘ outstretched limbs covered with mess, that, swinging in the breeze, gives them a weird and grotesque appearance, in singular keeping with the antempest fallen across, parity bridging the stream. The quiet in this place is unbroken, and can almott be felt. The splash of the paddles against its fellow, and peels of laughter from our party ‘to arOuse' thc’dormaut‘echocs, are the only irreverent sounds that break the solitude. scene. Great trunks in many places have ' the occasional shriek of a tree as it grinds- A sharp turn brings us to Utowana, its narrow entrance guarded by a large rock that in rough weather works up a swell no- wisc safe to a small boat. The lake is nearly three miles in length and one mile broad, skirted by a heavy growth of pine, beach,aud spruce. We seem still further, if possible, in the forest. Trout leap afirighted from the water as we dart by, and along the shore the pond lilies form a continuous circuit of yel- low, white and green. The water here is dark and pure, fed by a multitude of springs and brooks that trickle down from the neighboring hills. Caught here by a shower we camped, and a famous place found it. The canoes were hurridly hauled ashore, overturned over a moss-covered rock, and piled one upon the other, forming an excel- lent sheltcr from the min. A “smudge” was soon built—a smoke fire of spruce branches—as a perfect protection from black flics,and sitting under the canoes a royal feast was held. Frogs’ legs, captured on the way, were cooked and served on lily pads, with perch caught on the spot. So ravenous were the fish thatjthey fairly fought for the bits of cracker and food that the ladies threw to them. Here a small fish, not unlike a bass, was also caught. Its head was cover- ed with eggs, fastened upon it by some glutinous substance. They were laid irregu- larly upon the sides of the head, and also upon the ventral and pectoral fins. Whether this was its method of carrying eggs or merely an accident it was impossible to de- termine, and, unfortunately, the fish was lost in a capsize later on. Similar instances in fishes from the equatorial countries are not wanting, and one especially—the aspredo— carries its eggs about fastened to its entire ventral surface by curious fleshy pcdicles, that disappear after the eggs are hatched. Numbers of blue and white kingfishers were seen here, darting alongside the edge, hurling themselves into the water and rising heavily. with a struggling minnow to a neigthring branch, or bearing'their prey off to their waiting young. The lumberer has evidently spared the large trees that skirt Utowana here, as they are of unusual size, and the north shore should be remembered by the campenout. as there is not a house or a human being within miles. Following along the shore, dodging sunkentrees and snags, gliding over mats of lilies, we finally sight the Marion River. A few vigorous pulls and we are in its narrow passage, and winding and turning bring up at the carry where the river is dammed, and a wharf built for the convenience of the steamer. There is also a rustic waiting-room of bark that would do credit to a professional land- scape architect. 'We take our canoes again on our backs by means of a yoke for the purpose, and start over the road a mile to the next navigable part of the Marion. The road skirts the river, that here is but a brook filled with mOss-coveved and bare rocks, nosing among which a bear was seen a week since. Half a mile over the carry we come to Fred Bassett‘s log house, where we re- ccive a hearty welcome, We noticed a dia- lect unlike that of New York, and in reply to a question, he said: “Yes, I’m a Massa~ chusetts man. I came here during the hard - times seven years ago and have staid. It’s a a rough life; we have six months of Winter and for three months at a time I have never seen my house by daylight. We go al-og— ging in the morning and don’t get back till after dark. You can barely raise anything here, the frost comes in so ,early. .Last year I lost my grain and potatoes in one night. Game is pretty plenty—deer and bear. 1 set a trap for a bear that was seen here the other day, but he broke it up and went ed with the bait; he must have been a big fel- low.” ‘ . ' RAQUETTE LAKE AND “nanrm’rr’s.” Taking up the canoe again, after a fifteen minutes walk throng a magnificent piece of woods we come to the end of the carry, and launch ou'r frail crafts on the Marion River again. Here the river winds probably five miles to reach the outlet—as the crow flies, less than half that distance—and through a stretch of country entirely different from that a few miles above. Originally much wider, the river has dwindled down to a mere stream. Young trees have sprung up, principally pines, and have died, the leaves changing to a grayish white, and covered with mess of a like color, making an effect indescribably- beautiful, and as we drift along we seem to look through a forest of glass trees, the green beyond'bringing them out in bold relief, each limb and twig seem- ingly transparent and lace-like. The borders of the stream are fringed with wild roses of rare tints, and the wind as it comes down over the hills, laden with spruce and pine, catches up their sweet odor and that of the mass of lilies lower still, and reaches the voyager a breath from nature pure and un— defiled. The yellow lily leaves fairly block the stream in some places,and on these green islands were numbers of black-birds hopping from one to another, keeping ahead of the canoes, and feeding upon the many insects that can be found in the great yellow flowers that boldly hold themselves above the water. Forjover an hour we drift through this stream of flowers, and, nearing the end, the puffing little steamer Killcquah catches up with us, and, accepting a tow, we are soon sailing on the half dozen passengers aboard is one who illustrates the sides of Adirondack life when other than pleasure is the disderatum. The victim is a young lady, who claims Blue 'Mountain as her residence, and is going to the dentist’s, and to get to the task-hauler, as he was familiarly dubbed by the pilot, she had to cross Blue Mountain and Eagle Lakes and their connecting rivers, walk one carry, cross Raquettc to Kenwell’s, the second landing on that lake, before the doctor could be reached, altogether a trip of 40 miles. The victims of sudden pains and aches it will be seen have to grin and bear it. A number of the passengers are on the way to various camps that dot the shores, and one lady explains to every one that she is going to stay until November. She probably intends coming out on the ice. “Bartlett’s is the best place in this country,” she informs the writer. “It's way up between the upper and iower Saranac. The game laws don’t reach there, and you have venisiou and game all the time. The only objection is that old man Bartlett—— and suddenly breaking off, ‘ ‘are you a clergy- man?’ We deny the honor, and she contin- ues : “Well, he is such a swearcr that he has driven all the clergymen out of the country. He swears a perf t blue streak. I remember one day he went the Sarauac,aud some of the boys hurt one of his cows. The next day when he came back all the boarders followed him out in the clearing 'to hear him swear. He stood looking at the animal for a minute, turning all colors, strangled and coughed, and, to our astonishment, wheeled round and went into the house without saying a word. . ' “Didn’t he sweltr at all P" we asked. “No; he couldn’t do it justice—it was too much for him." I - When fairly on the Raquette we slip our cable and are left .again on one of the most beautiful lakes of the region. No one has‘cver attempted to trace its outline, so intricate it is. From one end to the other, across is— probably 40 could be traversed by following round. the bays and inlets. Sighting the American flag, we head for it, and once more haul our canoes upon the shore at Bennett’s Landing, Long Point. Setting up from the ,lake, under the trees, the house is the Ideal backwoods hotel. From Woods Point to the north a beautiful view spreads away: Indian Point. where the first white settler lands and points. it is barely six miles, while , on the lake lived, Penwell’s, Pierce's, and Stott’s camps. In the centre of the lake an island bears a picturesque church called Is- land Chapel, that dcpeuds upon chance for both laymen and Pastor. Near here is a fancifully built log-house, glimpses of which are caught through the trees, in which Murray conjured many of the fancies with which his work on this region is ornamented. Vcnision, trout, and bass, are plenty at Ben- nctt’s, and after a dinner of them we are off again, accepting another tow up the lakes- as far. as Kenwcll’s, every move bringing out; nevrbeautics. Deep inlets run far in— land, leading either by stream or carry to hunting panels far beyond that can only be entered with the aid of a good guide. “There’s cx-Ma‘yor Thugcher of Albany’s place,” saithe Captain of the little steamer, pointing to a fine lodge on the north shore. As he spoke, a white handkerchief was waved, which was answered by three shrill whistles. “That makes the old gentleman mad,” said the Captain. “You see he’s down on having steamers on the lake, and won’t patronize them himself er allow any of his family. But the young ladies wave their handkerchiefa when he isn’t looking, and I always answer them, and he woud‘exfiwhat we want to sa- lute him for, I enlist”: he'll catch them some day." The lake grew narrower here, and following the circuitous channel, we bring up at the end of the lake, canoes are again lifted aloft, and a- mile through a beautiful ‘ road of old and young trees brings us to Forked Lake, the end of our day’s trip in canoes. Smoking vcnisionIawaits us, a right royal dish after a twenty-five mile pull. '. amaonmox wanrnnn. One of the most interesting topics to would- bc visitors of this region is that of its recup- erative qualities. Invalids are to be met with everywhere: and that the country is a fine one for lung complaints seems to be gener- ally belicved..0ne man now on the Raquetto doing good work came here in J unc barely able to walk. Numbers at Merwin‘s Blue Mountain House are finding daily improve— ment, the site being above the dew line and the air bracing in the extreme. Others again prefer the Raqucttc region, claiming that there is more pine andspruce in the air. But the secret is the pure air that sweeps over the miles of unbrOken forest, and out—of— door life and exercise is sure to benefit the patient if he comes here before it is too late.

He is about to walk upon a plane of con- stant progress, He has grown since he came into the White House; so—that he now fills the broad seat of the chief magistrate from side to side completely. He has become ac- customed to his duties. He begins to see his way clearly and to rejoice in his own strength and in the support of the people. He feels that he is about to begin a period in his life when he will live, as he has never lived before, nobly and grandly. He has, he thinks, the policy well in hand, and he looks after the contest over the New York sena- torships is over, for peace, prosperity and progress throughout the remainder of his administration. These were the thoughts on Saturday morning. These were his thoughts of those who are nearest to‘him, and it grieved them sorely to think that he should be cut down just as he had mounted to a sun- lit tableland,through which entrance his road lay plainly defined to the end. This was what Mr. Mschagh was pondering when he said today, “Ah, hc‘was never a better president than he was at the moment when Guiteau's bullet struck him down. ‘ He never saw more clearly and he never had a firmer or a better purpose. He was going to be all that the best thought of the country ever expected of him. He. was going to be a great president.” The grand thing about the recovery, if he recovers, is that the pres- ident will be able to continue his grand-life work. This is the season for catching the fish culled menhaden, or mossbunkers, and thir— teen steamers are bringing them to Barren Island. not very far out from New York,at the rate of several hundred thousand a day. They much resemble the shiners of fresh the broad waters of Raquctte Lake. Among .water except that they are much larger, be— ing from eight to ten inches long, and they are only\ good for the oil they produce, and for enriching laud after the oil has been steamed and squeezed out of them. One of the Barren Island factories has cooked 9'000- 000 mossbunkcrs thus far in the present sea- son. and another has used up 5,000,000. The visitors to Barren Island are notified that the proximity to the fish—rendering factories will be less noticeable if he goes by the horse-ren— dering factories first. The fish are brought in by runs of seventy or eighty miles along the coast, where they are found in immense schools, which give a reddish appearance to several acres of water. A school of blue -. fish usually follows in the rcar,and keeps the body moving until a school of sharks cemes along and makes the blue fish very glad to get out of the way. The fishermen, though, are more destructive than the sharks and blue—fish both, for they let down immense seines, and capture a hundred thousand at a haul. ' Supporting the Local Paper. An exchange aptly remarks: A large por- tion of the people do nothing to support their local paper, and yet reap the benefit every day of the editor’s work. The lccal paper is of advantage to every man in the community- and when the man refused to contribute to the support of the newspaper on the ground that it, “docs him no good” he might just as well refuse to pay his taxes for the support of the courts and police on the ground that he never breaks the law and does not need any officers. There are men who believe them— selves to be honest and pious who are doing business in every community and every day appropriating to their own use the fruits of other men’s labor by reaping the benefit of the newspaper without contributing a cent to its support. w “The countl'y churches, nowadays, Arc thrown in much disorder, By the country folks all staring at The but of the summer boarder.” . -—0£i 0273/ Derrick. As a train was approaching Cleveland, 0., it parted in the middle and the signal rope snapped off like a thread, the end of it strik- ing an old~lady on the bonnet. “What is the matter ?’.’ she exclaimed. “Oh, the train is broke in two,” exclaimed a gentleman who sat in the next seat. “l should say so,” the' Old lady said, looking at the broken cord. "Did they s’posc a little bit of a string like l that would hold the cars together?" NORWALK GAZETTE, PilBllSHEll EVERY TUESDAY Mlll'tlllllo, The Second Oldest Paper in the State.
