Lowell Railroad was only twenty-six miles in length; and for many years it remained "little among the thousands" of great railway lines. Now that it has widely reached out, and, by purchase, lease and business contract, secured the management or traffic of many connecting and tributary roads, so that it has become the largest railroad system in New England, it is interesting to recall the fact that, as it was the first railroad chartered in New England for passenger transportation, so it was the first to be completed and operated its entire length, and it was the third or fourth in the United States. In 1821, what is now the city of Lowell was a straggling village of twelve houses ; some time previous a canal had been dug around Paw- tut a^t Falls, on the Merrimaclc River, for purposes of navigation. In 1822, an organization was effected under the name of " The Loclcs and Canal Co." on the Merrimack River, to utilize the water power for manufacturing purposes, and the first wlieel was set in motion Sept. 1, 1823. The facilities for the transportation of raw material to, and manufactured goods from, the place, were the river from Newburyport via Haverliill, tlie Middlesex Canal from Boston, and the highways ; the latter being sandy in summer, muddy in spring and early winter, and often blocl^aded with snow in mid-winter. In 1829, Messrs. William Appleton, Patriclc T. Jaclvson and Kirk: Boott, of Boston, with other far-seeing men of the owners and managers of water power and mills located at Lowell, were convinced that there must be greater trans- portation facilities for the proper development of their investments ; for already on an average as many as twenty-four tons of freight passed daily between tlie manufacturing village and the then young city of Boptrtn, .and "six st".ge-e.rt.arhes, drav/n by four and six horses each," conveyed *' from 100 to 120 passengers daily from one town to the 8 other." Tliis is a small amount of freight and number of passengers to us, but for that day indicates that great business activity had begun in eastern Massachusetts. It was evident that something must be done speedily, and certain enterprises in England and other parts of this country attracted their attention and directed their efforts. In 1827, a road three miles in length, v/ith rails of wood covered w;th iron, was opened from the Quincy granite quarries to the Neponset River, and successfully used with horse-propelling power. This same year another similar road, nine miles in length, was opened among the coal mines of the Lehigh region in Pennsylvania; and, in 1829, the Del- aware & Hudson Canal Co. constructed a third railroad. All of these were operated either by gravity, animals, or stationary steam engines, and were for freight transportation only. The latter company, hearing of the success of Stephenson In moving loads of coal in England on a railroad, sent an agent there, who purchased a locomotive steam engine named the " Stourbridge Lion," which was tested on their road at Honesdale, Penn., August 8, 1829, "which was, without a shadow of doubt, the day the first locomotive turned a driving wheel upon a road on the American continent." The Massachusetts Legislature of 1829 had ordered a survey, at State t-xpense, to ascertain the practicability of a railroad between Boston and Lowell. It was made by Mr. James Haywood, and his report transmitted to the Legislature by Gov. Levi Lincoln on Jan. 1, 1830. The previous October, Stephenson had made his successful experiment with a locomotive steam engine on tlie Manchester & Liverpool Rail- road. All these movements had been closely watched by those inter- ested in the Lowell ' ' Locks and Canal Co. ," and on Jan. 18, 1830, Patrick T. Jackson, Esq., requested Kirk Boott, Esq., agent, to call a meeting of the directors, by whom he hoped a meeting of the "proprietors" would be called, and he states that his " object is to draw the attention of the proprietors of that stock to the project for building a railroad from this place (Boston) to Lowell." The directors' meeting was the 22d and the proprietors the 27tli of January, at the house of Mr. Jackson, No. 22 Winter Street, Boston, when the first step was taken for the or- ganization of a company to build the Boston & Lowell Railroad. The project was strenuously opposed by the owners of the Middlesex Canal, but the Legislature of that year granted a charter, giving the company the exclusive right to railroad transportation between Boston and Lowell for tliirty j'ears, which rights the courts afterwards sustained them in asserting. The road was so well located and built that there no grade over ten feet to the mile, except at the overhead crossing of the Fitchburg Railroad in Somerville, and all the curves are wide and easy. A copy of "The Merchants' and Traders' Guide and Strangers' Memorandum Book for the year of our Lord 1836," says : " This road was opened for public accommodation on the 24th of June, 1835, [the Providence road was opened June 11th, and th3 Worcester, July 4th, of the same year,] and its cost thus far exceeds $1,000,000. The road is K lui 9 \{ *>uilt with a single Irack, and is constructed of the iron edge-rail, sup- j>orted by cast-iron chairs on stone blocks and stone sleepers, resting on stone foundation walls. A second track is commenced and laid about five miles." This second track was not so expensively laid with stone foundation walls, as it was found that the frost would not heave the sleepers so much as was feared. All of the stone blocks and stone sleepers have now been removed, being replaced with wood ; but many of them may yet be seen lying by the railroad side between Boston and Lowell. The rails were not of the now universal "T " pattern, but what were calle rain for the obably this gers, and take them to the depot free of chft; not yet been made, though they are in progrr merchandise, but there is a private car atta purpose of conveying small quantities of me5. was the forerunner of the modern express comp - The Boston terminus was then at the foot of Lowe, ^ _ it, where the freight-house now is. In 1857, the present site of the station on Cause- way Street was occupied, and the present costly and commodious depot, 700 feet long, having a frontage of 205 feet, with a train-house having an arch with a clear span of 120 xeet without any central support, was occupied in 1874. The spot upon which it stands is made land, and the Blackstone Canal which formerly crossed Boston along the line of the street of that name, intersected Causeway Street near this point, that street being originally what its name implies, a causeway with water on either side. The writer's father has told him he had often seen vessel's jib-booms extending over that treet, the water allowing them to be moored by its side. A SIGNIFICANT FACT. The Boston and Lowell is now a double-track road as far as Nashua, (and the Concord Kailroad, constituting apai-t of the through line, is double-tracked to Concord,) and, including all its branches and leased lines, is in the best possible condition as regards the road-bed, bridges, a 10 crossings, switches and signals, and is thoroughly equipped in all respects, with elegant coaches having every appliance for comfort and safety ; its locomotives are of the best and mas'; powerful pattern ; Its engineors, conductors and train-men intelligent and efficient men, who have grown up with the road ; while the management is both progres- sive and careful ; all of which accounts for the significant fact that on "the old Boston and Lowell road" no passenger has evehbeen FATALLY INJURED WHILE INSIDE ITS CARS. i HOSTON STATION. It is the aim of the management to have this continue true in the future, while they shall also continue to supply close connections and quick transit to all points to be reached by its system of roads. pre we: cor ba| Sai mo A cial reg the 'f * km * CHAPTER IT. " Otir <4ea-Iike lakes and mountains Piled to the clouds,— our rivers overhung By forests wliich have known no other change For ages, than the bidding and the fall Of leaves,— our valleys lovlier than thosfl Which th« old poets sang of." —Whittie, Every traveller by this line will be impressed, as be enters the rotunda of the Causeway Street station in Boston, with a sen< of its roominess and the completeness of all its appointments, including an excellent caf 6 ; and, as he proceeds to the loug and high clear-arched train-house, with its wide, well-lighted platforms, lie will find his train composed of the most convenient and comfortable coaches ; and soon, with ticket purchased, baggage properly checked, bundles bestowed, and a copy of " Summer Saunteriags by the B. &L." in hand, he is ready to start for the country, mountains or lakes. As the long train rolls out of the station, the Charles River, asso- ciated V, ith thouglts of Longfellow, Cambridge University and college regattas, is soon crossed. It was at some other point than this that the above-named poet sang of it, "River! that in silence windest Through the mead ws bright and free. * * * * 1 love thee, Nor because thy waves of blue Prom celestial seas above thee Take their own celestial hue." As the dravbridge is crossed, on either side of which an abundance ox shippiug is waiting its turn to go up or down the river, the look of I 12 I the current does not remind one of tlie poetic images of the bard ; but does remind us of the fact that the harbor and the Charles nearly sur- round what Ralph Waldo Emerson fondly calls — "Thou dailing town of ours," and leads him to say in other expressive and suggestive words — " The rocky nook with hill-tops three Looked eastward from the farms, And twice each day the flowing sea Took Boston in its arms." In another moment the train is passing into East Cambridge, where is located one of the Middlesex County court houses and jails. As the train rounds a slight curve, looking to the left backwards, a pleasant view is caught of the much be-praised Boston, of which her versifying son Holmes has written, "And, Bun like, from lier Beacon-height The dome-crowned city spreads her rays ; ***** Peace, Freedom, Wealth ! no fairer view, Though with the wild-bird's restless wings We sailed beneath the noon-tide's blue Or chasedthc moonlight's endless rings." Sweeping through the region of sugar refineries and manufactories and up the grade to cross over the Eitchburg Kailroad, a look to the right gives a clear view of Charlestowu and Bunker Hill with its historic monument, and close at hand the McLean Insane Asj^lum. Now the line passes through the suburban villages comprising the city of Som- erville. Between Winter Hill and College Hill is Powder House Hill, on the left, where may be seen a round wind -mill tower of brick which has a history. Originally a mill for grinding corn, tradition says it was the trysting place of two lovers, who were pursued by the maiden's irate father. She took refuge in the loft, standing on the trap-door, he on the mill- stones, when she pulled the rope which set the fans in motion and started the machinery, by which the father was so maimed tliat it caused his death. Superstition led to its abandonment as a mill and subsequently It was used for a powder house, such as every town was required to possess for the storage of ammunition against time of public danger. It wa,s in such use in 1775, and upon rumor that the British intended its capture, a part was re- moved to Concord, and th'^ enemy secured the remainder; so that In the Concord and Lexington fight, April ]!>, 1775, 1: >th parties used powder from the stock originally stored in this powder house. Just 18 I '1 beyond on the left is College Hill, crowned by the imposing buildings of Tufts Coll*^ge, which is under the especial patronage of the Univer- salists. When the numerous trees are grown it will be one of the flnest college sites in the country. At Somerv'ille, about three miles from Boston, the Middlesex Central Branch diverges to the left, leading through many attractive villages, where elegant and cosy residences abound, to Arlington (formerly West Cambridge), Lexington and Concord; thence past the Massachu- setts Reformatory Prison, through Acton, AVestford and Dunstable, making connection again with the main line at Nashua. There are few railroads in the country of equal length which pass so many grandly historic localities. From puritan and patriotic Boston; past Bunker Hill, in plain view ; Cambridge, Washington's headquarters ; Charles- town Neck, between Charlestown and Somerville, over which the patriots retreated after the Bunker Hill fight ; Powder House Hill, in Medford ; Lexington, where " Slowly the mlBt o'er the meadow was creeping, Bright on the dewy huds glistened the sun, When from his couch, while his children were sleepiag, Rose the hold rebel and shouldered his gun," and went forth to hear the first volley fired, and see the first blood shed. In the Revolutionary war; and Concord, where, according to Emerson, " By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Hero once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard 'round the world;' and as Lowell says — Here English Law and English thought 'Gainot the self-will of England fought; And here were men (co-equal with their fate). Who did great things, unconscious they were great. They dreamed not what a die was cast With that first answering shot." Here the British were succes&fully witlistood, and from here turned back for that harassing, and to many of them fatal, march over the road they had so confidently traversed in the morning. At West Medford a unique station building may be seen on the left. Its thick walls are built of stones contributed by residents and others, and which have come from all the (luarters of the world : from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, the islands of the sea, and tlig sea-bottom, there being corals from the Pacific, and a good-sized piece of ragged boulder-stone from the Devil's Britlge, Gay Head, on which occurred the sad wreck of the "City of Columbus." There are stones small and great, rough and smooth, of all colors and values, from a rare speci- men to a rough mosH-cuvcrcd pasture stone. On the right are Middlesex Fells, a wooded section which it is pro- posed to make into a great park and preserve in its natural state. On the left. Mystic Pond is soon passed, from wh'ch Charlestown, Chelsea and East Boston have fresh water; then Winchester, the place of 14 als of J 15 elegant country ho-.es and a few manufactories. At this point the mam line divides. The old route was to the right; the new loop-line diverges to the left, and passes directly through Woburn Centre and Nor h Woburn village to Wilmington, where it again unites with the old line. From Winchester to Woburn there was formerly a single track branch two miles in length. The new line is double-tracked, and over It pass many of the through passenger trains; thus bringing one of the oldest, richest and most thriving towns of " Old Middlesex" on to a main thoroughfare. Originally Woburn was called Chariestown Village, and the first house was built in 1641, just a little west of what IS now Winchester, on the bank of the Aberjona River, and occupied by Edward Converse and his successors for many years. Edward Johnson, one of the first grantees, who was a prominent citizen of the Colony, and one of the commissioners who discovered Winnipe- saukee, the source of the Merrimack, tells in his rare and valuable book, called " Wonder Working Providence of Zion's Saviour in New England," of the organization of the present First Congregational church m 1042, the ordination of Mr. Thomas Carter as pastor, and the incorporation of the town the same year. The act of the General Court constituting the place a town is brief enough for a model; it is as follows : - "Chariestown Village is called Wooburne." It is supposed thpt the name was derived from the abbey and park of Woburn in Bedfordshire. It originally included what arc now the towns of Win- Chester, formerly called South Woburn, Burlington, originally called Shawshine, and Wilmington, originally known as Goshen Villa<'e Woburn has always been patriotic, and in "the old French War" sent 150 of her 1500 population as soldiers. In the Revolutionary struggle she was among the foremost. Two days before the battle of Lexington, a company of fifty "minute men" was formed, and at the alarm on the morning of April 19, 1775, nearly all of them hastened to Lexington. "Swift as their summons camo tliey left Tlie plow mid-furrow standing still, The half.ground corn grist in the mill, The spado in earth, the axe in cleft." The manufacture of leather for shoe stock is the great industry of the place, besides which there are many other flourishing manufactories The ccr^-e of the town, with its common, soldiers' monument, large churches, beauti*-ul public library building and elegant private residences, impresses the passing traveller, or the visitor to the town Two miles beyond is North Woburn, a flourishini; village, now to feel the impetus of the main line of railway through its pleasant region Along hero the track is locat(>(l l)y tlie side of wlsat remains of tlic old Middlesex Canal, which at this poait almost retains its original appearance. A few miles farther on, in Wilmington, its course "may also be traced, both its tow-path and its channel; and in some parts of the latter may be seen "springs of water, * * * grass with 16 reeds and rushes." The railroad ruined its business, which had only paid for a very few years; and in 1859 the Supreme Court issued a decree extinguishing its charter. Woburn was the birth-place of the distinguished scientist of the last century, Benjamin Thompson, Count llumford, also the home of Mosos Cleveland, ancestor of President Cleveland, and of Charles Goodyear when he conceived the idea of vulcanizing India rubber. On the old line to the right, a short distance from Winchester, is Montvalc, where diverges a branch road to Stoneham, which is located on an elevated ridge, and is a busy shoe-manufacturing place. At Wilmington a branch extends to Wilmington Jurction, over what was tlie old road-bed of the Boston & Maine railroad when it was originally a branch of the Boston & Lowell, an I from thence to the great manufacturing city of Lawrence, and frequent and fast trains land passengers at the station in the heart of tlie city, making this the most desirable route between Boston and Lawrence. From Wilmington, the main line continues through country villages in Billerica, and then approaches Lowell, the first and the great cotton city of America. Here the Framingham and Lowell branch of the Old Colony Kailroad system comes in on the left from the southeast, and the Lowell and Lawrence and the Salem and Lowell branches of the B. &L. on the right, — the foimer of these connecting the two great manufac- turing cities on the Merrimack, and the latter giving direct communi- cation with the historic city of Salem, with its surrounding seaside resorts, and museums containing relics of colonial and witchcraft days, —passing also through Peabody, formerly a part of the great town of Dfinvers, which was the birthplace of the great London banker, George Peabody, and of Nathaniel Bowditch, the distinguished writer on mathematics and navagation. Mr. Peubody's tomb is in Harmony Grove, which may be seen from the cars between Peabody and Salem. Immense quantities of coal are transported over this branch from Salem to Lawrence, Lowell, and other points still farther inland. The main line as it enters Lowell passes through a rock-cut which was thought a marvel of engineering skill when the road was built. Through trains stop at Ivliddlesex Street depot ; but cars with Lowell passengers are drawn still farther into the city over and by the side of the canals, to the Merrimack Street station in the very heart of the city. The through trains continue north along the banks of the noble Mer- rimack River, where the ever-changing views opened up by its winding course are a continual source of pleasure. John Greenleaf Whittler's home is on the banks of tlie Merrimack ; and of it he has never tired of sinffing in maDv sonss of various keys.

H., the railroad continues along the banks of the charming and industrious stream which drains central New England; the scenery has already changed the views broadening with the long reaches of the river, while high hills are frequently to be seen in the distance. At Nashua we find a busy city on both sides of the river and a great railroad centre, where connections may be made for Worcester and the South, Keene and the West, and Portland and the East. At this point connection is also made with the Concord Railroad, over wh ch tae through trains run to the White Mountains and Northern divisions of this system, passing through Manchester where for about a mile the road is located alonir tlie ship of ti,« jm- n-n ,-rUu -f - Amoskeag and other corporations, which are thoroughly equipped and can use steam as an auxiliary when low water in the river makes it necessary. Other places, largely given to manufacturing, are Hooksett 18 19 I ^ J I The several cities named, and especially Concord,— a very handsome and attractive place, and also the capital of the Granite State,— would repay a visit. At Concord are two well-kept hotels, the Eagle and the Phoenix ; and, in addition to the points of attraction within the city, there are fine drives in the vicinity. The State House is a handsome build'ng, very pleasantly situated in the centre of a littl" park; and it contains a large number of historical portraits, battle-flags, etc. The city is beautifully located in a region which was a great favorite with the Indians. " The Nashua meadows lay green and unshorn, And the hills of Pentucket were tasselled with corn. But the Penacook Valh.y was fairer than these, And greener its grasses and taller its trees, E'er the sound of an .'ix( in the forest had rung, Or the mower hie scythe in the meadow had swung. In their sheltered repose looking out from the wood The bark-builded wigwams of Penacook stood, Here glided the corn-dance, the council-fire shone. And against the red war-post the hatchet was thrown." And among other delightful things which Whittier has told is — "A story of the marriage of the Chief Of Saugus to the dusky "Weetamoo, Daughter of Passaconaway, who dwelt In the old time upon the Merrimack." The Story is that Winnipurkit, otherwise called George, Sachem of Saugus, married a daughter oi the great chief of the Penacooks, whose principal location was where Concord now stands. There was a great feast, and then the bride was accompanied to Winnipurkit's home at Saugus, on the sea-coast, by a band of prominent men. After a season she went to her father's on a visit, and was escorted by some of her husband's chiefs ; but when she was ready to return, a fdling- out occurred between Passaconaway, her father, and Winnipurkit, her husband, over a matter of Indian etiquette ; neither would send an escort with her, or for her. At last she determined to return alone, and at the time of the spring freshet set out in a canoe on "the troubled stream," and met her fate in the Amoskeag Falls, at what is now Manchester. " Sick and weary of her lonely life, Heedless of peril the still faithful wife Had left her mother's grave, her father's door, To seek the wigwam of her chief once more. Down the white rapids like a sere leaf whirled, On the sharp rocks and piled up ices hurled. Empty and broken, circled the canoe In the vexed pool below — but, where was Weetamoo?" That the chief avenue of approach to the great mountain, lake and river resorts of New England, northern New York and the Dominion of Canada, is over the Boston & Lowell Railroad, its leased lines and branches, has been made apparent by the descriptions already given,and 20 t^smFg^^Bsm i LOWKB FALLS OF AJiaoNOOBUC, NBAB FABYAN'S. // 21 direct line between BostonT^; "^l?""""

The train service will be found convenient and expeditious. There are frequent express trains between Boston and all the hill country lake regions and White Mountain points, and also between Boston and Canada. These connect with all the southern and western boat and railway lines, and with trains from all interior points. The hours of leaving and arrival are given in the time-tables published elsewhere, and in the time-cards and folders to be found at all stations of this road and at all the principal railroad centres in the country. EATING HOUSES AND RESTAURANTS. — BOSTON STATION. Travellers reaching Boston by the Sound steamers and early trains, I'eed not go to a hotel for breakfast, as at the Boston & Lowell Station on Causeway Street, they will And an excellent cafe, Avhere every want in the way of substantials and delicacies can be found, and meals served at any hour. This caf6 has long and justly enjoyed a high rep- utation. NASHUA JUNCTION. In the commodious depot is a first-class refreshment room where reg- ular meals or lunches can be obtained, and the latter will be quickly put up for the pac ■ ing traveller. WHITE RIVER JUNCTION. The eating house at this point, where nearly all through trains stop for meals, has long enjoyed an enviable reputation, the cooking of the viands being well-nigh perfect, and the serving of the most attentive and thoughtful description. Abundant time is allowed for meals, and the signal for departure is seasonably given. THE WEIRS, LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE. This charmingly located cafe, over the waters of the lake, was opened the past season, and will be found supplied with every thing the hungry traveller can need. PEMIGEW ASSET HOUSE, PLYMOUTH, N. H. This noted house spreads sumptuous tables in the large dining room up stairs, and a long lunch counter in the restaurant opening from the depot platform. Excellent lunches will also be here put up for the traveller to take with him. So many thousand mountain tourists have enjoyed the elegant hospitality of this house that it is superfluous to utter its praise. At Lowell, Concord, N.H., Keene, Wells River, and Wing Road, lunch counters may also be found where wholesome food can be obtained, although not of wide variety. * 28 •^"-T"-"F-»'^'^ JSyfs j« ■-• -**K1TP!»W|PIT»»fS>s^'?F« How tlie Boston and Lowell System Is Made Up. CHAPTER III. The Southern Division, or main line proper, extends from Boston through Lowell and Nashua to Keene, including the Boston and Lowell, the Nashua and Lowell, the Wilton, the Peterboro', and the Manchester and Keene railroads. It is at Nashua that th^ southerly arm diverges from the trunk line, extending to the rural towns of Amherst, Milford and Wilton, and for many miles following the course of the Souhegan River, on which, in Wilton, there are some wild gorges and tumbling cascades. The line then passes into the mountainous region Qf Lynde- boro', Greenfield and Hancock; affording to the passenger an ever- changing panorama of river, pond t,nd mountain scenery. In Han- cock, tho Peterboro' & Hillsboro' Railroad belonging to the North- ern Division of the Boston and Lowell system is crossed at a right- angle. From Greenfield, to and beyond Hancock, the road skirts the northerly rim of a great basin in which are to'vns, rivers and numerous ponds, and surrounding which are, on the east, the two peaks of Peterboro', or Pack Monadnock and Tempie mountains; on the north, Crotched, WiUard, Bald and Whittemore mountains, with long and grand Monadnock on the southwest. The road winds in and out among high hills, along narrow gorges, through deep cuts, across high fills, over wide chasms, through Hancock, Harrisville and Marlboro' to Keene, the western terminus of tl.is southern line, where con- nection is made in a union depot with the Cheshire Railroad and the Ashuelot branch .of the Connecticut River Railroad system. Along this route from Greenfield through Hancock and Harrisville the line skirts numerous ponds which are the delight of sportsmen; and at Harrisville stages connect for Dublin Village and pond, other- wise known as Monadnock Lake, one of the most attractive localities in New England, where there are elegant summer residences, and which is steadily growing in .a oi tus a resort; and where Manadnock Mountain can be studied in al' i^s -varO and m-^ed majesty. It is related that a minister of thia icglon was once preaching on faith, and spoke of that which would remove mountains ; when pausing, and, casting a glance through the window at the massive mountain of rocK ' he said with a twinkle in his eye—" But it would take a good deal to remove old Monadnock !" THE CONCORD AXD CLAREMONT. This arm extends from Concord through West Concord, where the New Hampshire State Prison is '"cated in new and excellent buiJ-^'lngs, past superb granite quarries, to Contoocook, Warner, Bradford, New- bui coi icii tht th( se^ J tei coi Sp I- tl ai tl fi e: Is 25 buiy, Sunapee, Newport and cnareinont to Claremont Junction, where connection is made with tlie Sullivan County Railroad of the Connect- icut River line. Through Contoocook the line follows the banks of the placid Contoocook River, and on the right and north of the line the majestic cone of Kcarsarge is visible for several miles. -'^ Z'- J For many years Bradford was the western ^ji^i^f!^ I terminus of this road. From this point stages convey passengers to tlie famous Bradford Springs, noted for their medicinal qualities. I' SUNAPEE HARBOR. The grade at Newbury is very heavy, and the rock-cut through the mountains opens into the elevated basin in which is the very attractive Lake Sunapee. The sudden coming upon the wide lake, after the long cork-screw climb up among the high hills and through the frowning rock-cut, is an agreeable surprise. Tne road touches the extreme south end of this very lovely sheet of water, where is located Newbury station and the dock for the steamers which ply on the lake, so that tourists can walk directly from the station to the steamer's 26 gang-plank. At the Landing is a good boarding-house, and near it, and all along the southern end of the lake Avhich the railroad skirts, are some uncommonly good cottage sites, while on a charming point the foundation is laid for a large hotel. From here many of the islands, coves, points and bluffs can be scon, with many a summer cot- tage, and a glimpse can be caught of the finely-located Lakeview House on the west shore. On tlie soutli, towering above, is Sunapee Mountain, on tlie side of wliicli, far up and overlooking the whole lake, is Johnson's popular house. Newport is the shire town of Sullivan County, and an attractive and thriving place. There are two good hotels, the larger of which is the Newport House, and the other the Pluenix Hotel, while there are sev- eral good boarding-houses, and in the surrounding region many farm- houses where good summer board may be had. From Newport to Claremont the road follows the course of the Sugar Kiver which receives the wi^-ters of Lake Sunapee. Claremont is a large and f.nely located to vn, with many attractions for the stranger. The Belmont House is a good hotel, and there are boarding houses and farm houses to which strangers will be received at reason- able rates. The surrounding scenery is on a grand scale, Ascutney Mountain, across the Connecticut Eiver, in Vermont, looming above in its grandeur and overlooking the town, wiiile to the northeast Green and Bald mountains are only a part of the grander Croydon Mountain, a prominent feature of the landscape a little farther removed. The whole region of Lake Sunapee, Newport and Claremont abounds with good drives along the valleys or among the hills. TIIK PKTKUHOKO' AND IIII.LSBORO' BHANCH. At Contoocook, going west on the Concord & Claremont Branch, the Peterboro' and Hillsboro' Branch diverges to the south, extend- ing through Contoocook, West Hopkinton, Henniker, Hillsboro', Antrim, Bennington, Hancock Junction, (where the Keene Branch is crossed as before noticed,) to the large and charming town of Peter- boro', which is seven miles nearer Boston by the Boston and Lowell than by any other route. The Contoocook and its tributaries flow through the place, and excellent hotels and farm-1 >use boarding places on breezy hill tops, good brook and ])ond fishing, grand mountain scenery with uncommonly pleasant drives in all directions, indicate its attractions. THE NOUTHKKN DIVISION. From Concord the northwesterly arm of the Boston and Lowell is the Northern Railroad of N. IL, which follows the valley of the Merri- mack as far as Franklin, and then winds in and out among hills, ponds and lakes, working up some heavy grades to the Huisunit at Canaan, having ascended 778 feet since leaving Concord ; then following the water-course of the Mascoma liiver, for miles skirting the fine lake of the same name, it proceeds down a steep grade from Enfield to West I ^ I 27 Lebanon, where the Connecticut River is crossed, and connection made at White River Junction with the Central Vermont Railroad and the Passumpsic Railroad for the North. At Penacook, seven miles northwest of Concord, and formerly known as risherville, the Contoocook River empties into the Merrimack, and at the point of junction in mid-stream i? Dustin's island, on which stands a granite monument to Hannah (Emerson) Dustin, who was captured by the Indians on the 15th of March, 1G97, at Haverhill, Mass., together with a six weeks' old infant and its nurse, Mary Niflf. The child was killed, but the two women were brought by a weary march to a wigwam on this island and left in charge of two men, three women and seven Indian children, where they also found Samuel Lannardson, a boy captured from Worcester. Mrs. Dustin planned an escape, and on the early morning of March 31, 1G97, awoke her com- panions, and, with the Indians' own tomahawks dispatched both the men instantly and one woman ; the other woman and one Indian boy only escaping. Taking the scalps as proof, they scuttled all the canoes but one, and then embarked on the then high and turbulent Merrimack for Haverhill, which they safely reached in a few days. She at once became a great heroine, and, being called to Boston, the General Court thanked her and made her a grant of £50. Fifty years afterwa Is the white settlers of this region were as- sailed by the savages, and some killed and others carried captive to Canada. Now the descendants of some of those foraging Canadian Indians descend again on the peaceful valleys, but in these days for peaceful purposes, and are found as operatives in the numerous fac- tories which line the noble Merrimack stream. Boscawen was originally named Contoocook, but in 1760 given its present name from Lord Boscawen of the English navy. In 18G0 it was divided, and part took the name of Webster. The old town is the birth- place of General Dix, Pitt Fesscnden and Charles G. Greene ; the home of Ezekiel Webster ; and his great brother Daniel had a law office here. Boscawen Plain has a wide street two miles long, on which are some fine residences. At North Boscawen the brick buildings of the Merrimack County poor-farm may be seen, and the burying ground witli its white head-boards, near tlie track. From here there is a stage connection with Salisbury, four miles distant, wliere Daniel Webster was born, under •' A roof beneath the mountain pines." At Webster Place, the farm and home of Daniel Webster is seen on the right of the track. Tlie old homestead and other buildings are now used as the New Hampshire Orphan Asvlum, and the happy faces of many children may fre(iuently be seen as the train passes. It Avas under the elms near by that the great statesman loved Uy linger in summer and rest from the care^^ '•.!" puh'.i!' lifo. ' ' In vain the envious tongue upbraids ; His name a nation's heart fhall keep Till morning's latest sunlight fades On the blue tablet of the deep." 2.S In this intervale there was a fort, in the early settlement, and here, in the French and Indian war, Colonel Goft"s regiment spent the winter, and was drilled and then marched overland to CroAvn Point. Up over the hill, eastward, it is only abont two miles to Webster's birthplace, then in Salisbury, but now included in the town of Franklin. At Franklin, a large and thriving town, the Pemigewasset and Win- nipesaukee rivers unite to form the Merrimack, from whence some say is its name, signi ing in the Algonquin tongue, "the meeting of the waters." Other suggestive derivations of the name Merrimack have been given before. These streams furnish power for numerous large manufactories. From here the Bristol Branch diverges, running to Bristol, a thrifty manufacturing place thirteen miles distant, on the shores of Newfound Lake, which is mountain-environed, full of flsh, and popular with summer campers and farm-houses boarders. WEBSTER LAKE. Just beyond Franklin tlie road skirts the banks of Webster Lake, one of the many sheets of water to be seen on this line, and one of the most attractive. It has pleasant camp grounds near the rail- road and shore. At East Andover is Highland Lake, with clean, sandy beach; and at Andover, Eagle Pond, with Ilagged Mountain Ix'yond on the north. From Potter Place station stages arc taken for New London, the lo(,-ation of the Colby Academy, a preparatory school under tlie patron- age of the Baptist denomination. It is also the station from which to reach the Winslow House on Mt. Kearsarge; tliis mountain supply. Ing a name for the celebrates! war ^h\p wliieh sunk the Confederate cruiser, "Alabama" oft' Cherbourg, France, in 1804, and the house on the mountain was named for her brave conunander. i r> ■ r> ■ 29 Canaan is a country town; the centre, some two miles north, having a very wide and tree-shaded main street. Enfield has several families of Shakers ; and from near the station a small steamer may be taken to cross Lake Mascoma, on the west side of which is the principal Sliaker settlement. The railroad skirts this lake for several miles. From East Lebanon the descent along the banks of the Mascoma is great, and the track crosses the foaming fetream fourteen times, through covered bridges, in tlie distance of six miles, making a fast express alm.ost seem a game of " hide and seek." Lebanon is a flourishing place of many attractions for the summer, while at West Lebanon is located the excellent Tilden Female Seminary. THK WIIITK MOUNTAINS DIVISION. The old, reliable and attractive route to Winnipesaukee, Memphre- magog and Connecticut lakes, and the Franconia and White moun- tains, is over tliis division of the Boston and Lowell line, formerly and favorably known as the Boston, Concord, Montreal & White Moun- tains Railroad, which extends along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, and through the western range of tlie White Mountain group, and, farrier north, runs through the Ammonoosuc and Connecticut valleys ; an important spur penetrating the very heart of the mountain region at Fabyan's, while branches and connecting lines reach the Pemigewasset Valley the Profile House, Bethlehem, Jefferson, the summit of Mount Washington, and the northern regions of Kew Hampshire, Vermont, Canada and Maine. Just above Concord, the train crosses tlie Merrimack Eiver for the last time. Near this point a fine view is had of Mount Kearsarge , winch is about a dozen miles distant. Tilton, -. charming town eighteen miles from Concord, is the first place of importance above the State capital, and Laronia and Lake Village are next in order. The mountains have already become prominent features of the landscape, being first seen across several bodies of water, along the shores of which the railroad runs, near and above East Tilton. At the Weirs the beautiful Lalce Winnipesaukee is readied. Here a delightful summer resort has sprung into being within tlic past few years. Li addition to a great number of handsome cottages, for the most part cosily situated in tlie groves, there are tliree capacious hotels, vi/..,tlie Hotel Weirs, tlie Lakeside House and the Wimiecoette House. Several large summer meetings are held here every year, and one of the groves is the property of the New Hampshire Veterans' Association. The steamboat "Lady of the Lake" comiects herewith north-bound and south-bound exi)ress trains conveying passeuiiers to and from Centre Harbor and Wolfboro'. Korth' of ihe' Weirs, and on an arm of the lake, lies Meredith, and next above, Asliiand. After passing these two places, the train approaches 1 lymouth. The ti'aveller is K.m fairly within the gateway < i the moun- tain re-ion. The JViuigewasset Valley here broadens into a beautiful Intervale, environed by mountains of less elevation than those farther 30 north, but still bold and picturesque. The Pemigewasset House, one of the famous summer resorts of the mountain region, is situated in the heart of the pretty village ; and all the day trains stop here for meals. If the traveller is going direct to the Twin Mountain, Fabyan or Crawford houses, to Littleton, Franconia, Jefferson, Bethlehem Junc- tion (thence, by narrow guage railroad, to Maple wood, Bethlehem or Profile House), or to any other of the delightful summer retreats of northern New Hampshire, to the top of Mount Washington, to the lakes and mountains of Vermont, to the hunting and fishing regions of Maine, or of Canada, he continues on tlie main line of the White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, above Plymouth. If he is journeying to the Profile House, or to any of the numerous summer hotels and boarding houses of Campton, Thornton, Woodstoclc or Watenille, he leaves the main line at Plymouth, and proceeds through the beauti- ful Pemigewasset Valley, directly north, over the PemigeAvasset Valley Branch, which closely follows the bank of " The winding Pemigewasset, overhung By htechen ehadows, whitening down its rocki. Or lazily gliding through its intervals, From waving rye-fields sending up the gleam Of sunlit waters." After leaving Plymouth and the Pemigewasset River, the traveller on the main line ascends the valley of Baker's River, tlirough Rumney, Wentworth and Warren, and in the latter town crosses the ridge divid- ing tlie water system of the Merrimack from that of the Connecticut. The -cenery througli these several towns is bold and picturesque ; the region being mountainous wltli numerous small streams. In the town of Haverhill the railroad runs for some distance along an elevated plateau upon the east side of the Connecticut River ; and the views caught by the passenger, as tlie train Aviiids in and out of the little patclies of woodland, are often very cliarming. Vermont lies upon the opposite side of tlie river, and the foot-hills of the Green Mountains rise beyond the valley. At Woodsville and Wells River, tlie former being upon the New Hampshire side, and tlie latter upon the Vermont side of the river, connection is made Avith tlie Passumpsic Railroad and with the Montpelier & Wells River Railroad. Tlie former, and that portion of the Boston & LoavcU Railroad lying below this point, form important links in the Montreal & Boston Air Lino, of which the South Eastern Railway of Canada is also a part. At Wells River, also, the direct New York and Saratoga express trains enter upon this divi- sion of the ]i(»stou & Lowell Railroad. At Woodsville the traveller who is on his way to the mountains leaves the Connecticut River behind him, and journe.vs along the Aiumonoosuc Elver, a swift mountain stream which has its source in the Lake of the Clouds, iive Ihousand feet high, in the Presidential Ranj;e. The river is several times crossed in the course of the ride through Bath, Lisbon, Littleton, Bethlehem and Carroll. At Wing Road station the J!L» 81 32 mountain trains leave the main line, and ascend the Mount Washington Branch. Bethlehem Junction is the point of departure for Maplewood and the Bethlehem hotels and boarding houses, and for the Profile House. A narrow-gauge railway extends to both Bethlehem village and to Tranconia Notch. Beyond Bethlehem there are no villages, and only the large hotels give local designations to the railroad stations. Thus the Twin Mountain, White Mountain, Fabyan and Mount Pleasant houses form the central points, or stations. The Crawford House is four miles beyond the Fabyan, on the line of tlie Portland & Ogdensburg Rail- road. The very heart of tlie mountain region has been reached at Fabyan's ; and the visitor looks out upon the giant wall of the Presi- dential Kange, all the summits of which are within from four to ten miles distant. The Mount Washington Branch extends beyond Fabyan's and Mt. Pleasant to a junction with the Mount Washington Railway, by which the traveller ascends by a steep incline to he summit; but the Mt. Pleasant House is the terminal point of all express trains. The main line of the White Mountains Division of the Boston and Lowell line extends above Wing Road station, through the towns of Whitefleld, Dalton and Lancaster, to Groveton, at which latter point it connects with the Gi-and Trunk Railway. The Whitefleld & Jefferson Railroad, which affords direct and easy means of communica- tion with the hotels and boarding houses of Jefferson, diverges from the main line at Wliitefleld. Northward from (iroveton, the traveller may proceed by the Grand Trunk Railway to North Stratford and Brunswick Springs, or, via North Stratford and Colebrook, toDixville Notch or Connecticut Lakes, or through the Notch to Lake Urabagog and the Rangeley Lakes, the great fishing and hunting section of North- western Maine. TIIK CIIERKY MOUNTAIN SLIDE. On the north side of Clierry Mountain, facing the Jett'erson hotels, occurred the noted landslide of July 10, 1885. This mountain is on tlie south side of the Whitefleld & Jefterson Railroad, and lies between Jefferson and Fabyan's, from both of which places its summit can be seen, and it can bo reached by carriage road from both places. There is also a station on tlie railroad at the point nearest the place. It was the largest slide ever known in the mountains, although not fatal as the Willey avalanche in tlie White Mountain, or Cr iwford. Notch in 182G, when a whole family perished. In this Cherry Mountain dis- aster, one man, wlio was milking in his barn, was cauglit and held in the ruins, l)iit afterwards extricated alive. A man and some boys, who were building a house, on hearing the roar, jumped through the win- dows, and, running across the road, escaped, while tlie house fell. The slide was owing to great rains, which swelled the streams and soaked the crust of the eartli, when a portion of the mountain side, about 25 rods wide, 50 feet deep and two miles long, slid down into the meadow at tlic base, wliere it spread itself out over 20 acres.

From Walden the descent is so great into the valley ■where the line reaches tiie head-waters of the La-Moille (usually written Lamoille) that a remarkable curve is made along two sides and around one end of a long narrow valley. At one point the line in Wal- den is 240 feet above its level in Hardwick, which is plainly in view below, only a mile across the valley, while around by the railroad, pass- ing Greeuboro' at the upper end of the valley, it is a distance of six miles, making it onf of the most noted railroad curves in New Eng- land. Walden summit is 1,180 feet above the sea, and from this point westward there is a fine view of the Green Mountains. From Greens- boro' to Cambridge the line follows the Lamoille River valley, which has a peculiar rural beauty. High mountains shut it in on either side, and along the river are some of the richest farms of Vermont. Morrisville is a flourishing place, where stages connect for and from Stowe, the point of departure for Mt. Mansfleld. At Cambridge Junc- tion the Burlington tS; Lamoille Railroad diverges to Burlington ; and from here to Sheldon Springs the line crosses the water-shed between the Lamoille and the Missisquoi rivers, the valley of the latter being followed to Swanton.

Tlie hill-sides and the vale near by are covered with a forest in which are some mammoth chest- nuts. Tliis whole surface is full of springs, equally abundant in flow but of very different properties. The old Milford Springs House is near by, reminding one of tlio old-time taverns of New England. In its basement is tlie curb of the original spring which gave celebrity to this place. A tradition connects its discovery with the dream of a 61 dying boy, which many people faithfully accept; however that maybe, there is no doubt that many persons have experienced beneficial effects from using the Avaters. In one spring magnesia predominates ; in another, iron; in a third, called "The Ponemah Spring," silica, oxide of iron, sulphate of soda, sulphate of potash, chloride of sodium, and magnesia. In the iron spring there is a large quantity of free carbonic acid gas. The hotel is new, supplied with all modern conveniencss, and managed by Messrs. Barnes & Dunklec of the Hotel Brunswick of Boston, a sufficient guarantee of first-class service. To the west there is an elevation overlooking the hill on which the hotel stands, called Mount Pisgah, GOO feet high, from which a wide view of the country can be had, with the grand Temple range of mountains on the west, consisting of Pack-Monadnock, Temple, Kidder and other peaks, while between and over them the grander summit of Monadnock is seen on a clear day. From the top of the hotel a wide expanse of the Souhegan valley is seen, and beyond to the north Mount Vernon, and still further in that direction, three mountain peaks which challenge the beholder's attention. That to the left is Joe English mountain, in New Boston, and the other two. The Un-ca-noo-nucks, " a corruption of the Indian Wunminnoogunash, the plural of W2mnunnoognn (a breast), osh being added to the singular to form the plural of inanimate nouns." The aptness of the name will be seen at a glance, town and near Manchester. These latter are in Goffs- " Grecn-tuftod, oak-shadod, by Amoskoiig's fall, Thy twill Uucanoonucks rose stately and tall." When old Pascagora, the Indian sage, had his dying vision, the braves of his Namaoskoag tribe were on these hills :— •' For all the warriors were away, Before the sun had brought the day To Uncanoonucks' southern side, To eit in council for the tribe." The Hotel Ponemah is so situated that every room receives sunlight at some hour of the day ; and the outbuildings and stal)los are so far remoAcd that there is an absence of flies. In the summer season a fast express train conveys passengers to Boston in an hour and a quarter, arriving there at 9.20 a.m., making only three stops on the way; and the return is as speedy, leaving Boston at 5.00 p.m. RIILrOUD AND MOUNT VEllNON. Mllfnrd is a quiet but i-lcasanfc country town, two miles beyond Amherst, Avith many desirable farm-house boarding places. The village is an attractive and thrifty one, in which, on a high bluff over- looking the Souhegan River, there Is a noble old mansion of many 62 corners gables and bay windows, known as the Endicott House in which boarders are received in the summer. It is an attractive pl'ace for those wlio enjoy summer life in a country village. Milford is also the ra. road station for Mount Vernon, which is reached by a pleasant stage rule of four miles. Mt. Vernon is a fair sample of the retfred and CONANT HALL, MT.

John Ritcliie was the first male child born in the town, February 22, 1759, and died in the cause of freedom at Cambridge, during the siege of Boston, in 1776, In 1760 the place was incorporated, and, like so many other New Hampshire towns, named for an English nobleman, Charles Mordant, Earl of Peterborough, the brilliant leader of the Brit- tish army in the war of the Spanish succession. The Nubanusit and Contoocook rivers unite in the centre village and then flow north. The valley and surrounding hills are very beautiful. Within recent years some of the old farms have been purchased by those who have greatly improved them, and some of the great, old farm houses have been enlarged and quaintly adorned. Tucker's Hotel, in the village, is an excellent house at any season of the year, while there are many farm houses where good board can be had in the summer. From the sightly locations all the surrounding mountains are in full view, which led the philosopher-poet, above quo- ted, to exclaim : " ♦ Happy,' I said, * wt ose home is here 1 Fair fortunes to the mountaineer ! Booh Nature to his poorest shed Has royal pleasure-grounds outspread.' " The drives are one of the great features of the town ; they may be along valley roads or over long hills, by the shaded river-side, or along the .aargin of ponds. Cunningham Pond, in the easterly part of the town, under frowning Peterboro' (or "Pack Monadnock") Mountain, is a favorite place for fishing and sailing parties, while great berry- pastures lie beyond. There are numerous manufactories. Including a large shoe shop, n°ar the railroad station. There are five churches, a national bank, and a public library. No one will make a mistake who locates himself or family here for a short or long stay. The Boston and Lowell summer trains are so arranged that one may leave here in the morning, have several hours in Boston in the middle of the day, and return before dark, which makes this region a desirable one for the families of busi- ness men. DUBLIN. Tliis noted place of summer residence is reached via the Harrisville station of the Keene Branch of the Boston & Lowell Railroad. It is on the water-shed between the Merrimack and Connecticut rivers, and contains beautiful Dublin Pond, over Avhich, on the south, towers Monadnock, of which Ralph Waldo Emerson has written, " I turned to Cheshire's haughty hill ******** On the Huminit aa I stood, O'er the floor of plain and flood Seemed to me, the towering hill Was not altogether still, But a quiet sense conveyed ; If I err not, thus it said :— 64 liiiliMEuiiJi DUBLIN F(J>D. n.-. 'Ever; morn I lift my head, 8co New England under spread, South from Saint Lawrence to the Sound, From KatBkill east to the sea-bound. Anchored fast for many an age I aw-.it the bard and wage Who, in large thoughts, like fair pearl-seed, Shall string Monadnock like a bead.'" From the elegant mansions on the margin of the pond, the comfort- able farm houses, the bosom of tlie mountain lalcelet, or from among the al)un(lantbhieberiy bushes wliich skirt it, " Clieshire's hauglity liill" can be seen in all his naked and massive grandeur. Perhaps there is not another mountain of its size in New England which is so bare ; the whole upper portion is a ledge, and it stands out very clear against the sky. The view from its summit is extensive and pleasing; the climb up its sides not severe, but calling for good exertion. Whetlier Emerson spoke "of himself or of some other man" is not known, when he vividly said of climl)ing Monadnock — " Pants up hither the spruce clerk From South Cove and City wharf, I take him up my rugged sides Half-repentant, scant of breath, — Bead-eyes my granite chaos show, And my midsummer snow; I scowl on him wiih my cloud, "With my north-wind chill his blood; I lame him, clattering down the rocks; And to live he is in fear. When, at last, I let him down Once mora into his dapper town, To chatter, frightened, to his clan. And forget me if he can. " No one will l)e disappointed who makes a summer stay on the shores of Dublin Pond, or in any of the other localities in the vicinity of Monadnock, such as Marlboro', Hancock or Peterboro'. NEWPonr, N. II. This is a favorite name for attractive summer resorts. If this New Hampshire town may not boast of such features as tliose places of similar name in Rhode Island and Vermont, it may yet present substan- tial attractions of its own. For many years it has drawn large num- bers of summer sojourners. It is the only shire town of Sullivan County, is on tlie line of the Concord & Claremont Branch of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, has a wide main street, a large common, excellent public buildings, Ave churches, numerous stores, factories, and two ho- tels. The village is pleasantly situated on sloping liills, between whifh flows Sugar River, tlie outlet of Lake Sunapee, only flvemilo'^ distant. Surrounding it are numerous mountains, Bald, Coit, Blueberry Ledge and East mountains, while Croydon and Sunapee are only a little farther removed. Some of tlie finest maple-sugar orchards in the State are 66 found in this town, and about one mile soutli of tlie village i^ an apple tree Avliich, over a liundred years asao, was brought from Connecticut. Elephant Rock, three miles distant, is a natural curiosity to which many parties drive ; through the valley of Sugar River to Sunapee Har- bor is tlie Sunapoe Lake road. Good teams can be liad at very reason- able rates, and many families who board at farm-houses extract much pleasure from the use of the farm wagon and old, steady horse; mothers, nurses and children themselves drivin:., without fear, through the charming valley and over the pleasant hill, the roads and sights o. which will remind one of Whittier's lines : — ^ " We held on sideling way above The river's -whitening sliallowB, By homesteads old, with wide-flung barns Swept through and through by swallowB. By maple orchards, belts of pines And larches climbing darkly The mountain slopes, and, over all, The great peaks rising starkly. ****** We paused at last where hoaie-bound cows Brought down the pasture's treasure, And in the barn the rhythmic flails Beat out a harvest measure." Railroad connection is direct and convenient with Concord, N. H., and Boston, over the Boston & Lowell system, and it is only a few miles over the Concord & Claremont Branch to Claremont Junction and connection with the Connecticut River line for Southern New England and New York. Many who propose visiting Lake Sunapee will prefer coming to New- port first, and then locating on the lake at their leisure. The Newport House, favorii(>ly situated near the railroad station, has accommoda- tions for one hundred and seventy-five guests, has all modern con- veniences and is well conducted. SUNAPEE MOUNTAIN HOUSE. Six hundred feet higher than the surface of Lake Sunapee and over sixteen hundred feet above sea-level, on a beautiful round and fertile spur of Mount Sunapee, is the farm of Mr. Natlian S. Johnson, on which is the plain hotel called Sunapee Mountain House. It is only a large country home ; but one of those into which people of refinement and quiet tastes love to go for a summer stay. The host is a Quaker gentleman ; the a^ nosphere of the home is that of gentle Christian breeding and good literature ; and the fare of the most substantial New England quality— the farm supplying everything i-eoded, even to the wheat for the flour. The surroundiisg scenery is grand, and the view of Lake Sunapee the best to be had anywhere, while near mountains, the Sandwicli l^ange and the cone of Mt. Wasliington, are in full view. \. 67 Nsar the house, and connected Avlth a walk, Is a cottage with a wide veranda, .^ccupyin- a commanding- Kite. This, and others lilce it soon to be built, supplies a suite of rooms for a family, and a most charming view of the lake below, so environed by high hills as to remind every Scotchman of his own celebrated Loch Katrine. The narrow southern end of the lake, with the steep wooded sides and rockv tree-covered islands, reminds one of "Ellen's Isle," as described in Sir Walter Scott's "Lady of the Lake " : — •' And farther as the hunter stray'd, Still broader sweeps its channels made. The shaggy mounds no longer stood, E'r.erging from entangled wood, But wave-encircled, seem'd to float, Like castle girdled with its moat. Yet broader floods extending still Divide them from their parent hill. Till each, retiring, claims to be An islet in an inland sea." The raib-oad station is Mount Sunapee, on the Concord & Claremont section of the Northern Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad. The post-office is Chandlerville, Merrimack County, N.H. Whenever notified in advance by mail, Mr. Johnson will meet guests and take them the mile up the mountain free of charge. LAKE VIEW HOTEL. This excellent hotel, a picture of which may 1 seen on page 78, has a fine location on t'^e west side of Liike Sunapee, and overlooking its entire expanse. Tne view of Mount Sunapee and other mountains which shut in the basin, which include tnc long narrow soutii-east end of the lake, is a particularly attractive one ; while, as Scott says of the Scottish Highland lake, so the .sunset eiTect is seen from this western hillside : — "One burnished sheet of living gold, Loc\ Katrine lay beneath him rolled." The islands are in full view, the camp at Rlodgett's Shore on the east, and the wide upper expanse of the lake. New London on the opposite side, Avith th. majestic peak of Kearsargc rising still farther to the east. The house was thoroughly overhauled and renovated last year, and managed with great acceptance by M. P. Courser, who will be the landlord for the season of 1886. The entire absence of mosquitoes, no hint of hay-fever, with the fine berries, lake flsh and xi'esh farm supplies, give the place an excel- lent reputation. Communication witli the outside world is over the high hill north-westward, from the summit of which is a superb view, to Sunapee Harbor and Sunapee post-office, or by boat on the lake from a landing in front of the hotel. On the hillside near this landing are the charmingly located cottages of Col. G. H. Dana, of Newport, one of which he occupies himself. These, with others near by on the main shore and on tlie neigiiboring 68 islands, constitute a considerable summer settlement, the beauty and comforts of which must be seen and enjoyed to be appreciated. A little farther south on tlie west shore, on a pretty ])ay, is the Wetherby farm, where there are some very good cottages sites. And the stone farm-house, furnished, Avith wood-pile and stable room, can be rented of Mr. George IJ. Wetherby, Sunapee, by month or season ; who will also furnish farm supplies, all of the best. This place and its facilities can be commended. SUNAPEE, OR SUNAPEE HAKHOR. This village is th(> centre of the town, and has several mills, two churches and the liunals House. The latter is near the steamboat landing, overlooking " The Harbor," which is a long deep bay crooked like a horn. Out of this bay flows the outlet of the lake. A large white farm-house overlooking the village is the home of Hon. William Sturoc, who, besides being an excellent farmer, sustains the reputation of being a literary man, whose poems liave been imblished in both this c. Dr. C. T. Jackson has written : " But if our mountains cannot challenge comparison Avith the Swiss and Tyrolose Alps, if we have not the glaciers, with their wonder- ful variety and grandeur of form, we have lake and forest scenery, which for peculiar and bewitching beauty, may be pronounced uiirivalled, — an immense sheet of pure and sparkling water enclosed in an amphi- theatre of mountains, from whose sunnnits the dark foliage of a northern forest sweeps in one unbroken mass down t.) the very edge of the water, whose surface is dotted with innumerable islands, f-rested with the towerhig pines, whose dark mass is repeated in a crystal mirror. And first among our lakes is Wlmiipesaukee. The hand of man has done nothing to add to its charm : ii cannot l)oast either the marble villas of Como, or the terraced islands of Lake Maggiore, cov ered with tropical foliage. Were it not for the smoke which here and there curls up from among the pines, the eye would hardly trace the presence of luan from many points of Its shores and islands. From the shore the range of vision is soon stopped by the Islands, whieli can hardly be separated from each other In the dhn distance ; but, from tlie SI.. limit of any one of the numerous mouutahis which surround the lake, the whole extent of its surface is .spread out like a map, and kvl I' I \\ .

On (lie of the numerous Islands there lived for years, solitary and alone, an aged spinster, familiarly known as Aunt Dolly. In this wild and romantic spot, almost entirely cut off frora the rest of the world, she lived in hermit independence, takiPdr tare of her few sheep, and ofcasionally rowinir her own skiff to the main land. Centre Harbor, A\ ith two prominent hotels,— the Senter House and Moulton House,— and numerous boarding houses, has long been a favored summer resort. It is only ten miles distant from the Weirs by steamer. Red Hill, 2,043 feet high, is near the town. Its summit commands a magnificent view. From Centre Harbor stages run to Moultonboro', Ossipee Mountain Park, Sandwich, Centre Sandwich, North Sandwich and South Tarn- worth. Wolfboro', another famed summer resort, is upon the eastern shore, nearly opposite the Weirs. The/e are a number of commodious hotels,— of which the Pavilion Hotel and the Glendon House are the largest,— and more than a dozen boarding houses. THE WEIKS. Situated on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, with a grand outlook across its waters upon the high mountains beyond, is the station of the Weirs. In colonial times the Indians had flsh-wcirs here, in the shal- lows near the outlet of the lake, and caught shad. Once a year the Winnipesaukee tribe encamped about here, and passed weeks in feast- ing. The remnants of the old stone dams along which the nets were stretched reninined long after the English came. Near by is the Endi- cott Rock, which was, in 1652, inscribed Avith Gov. John Endicott's name and the initials of Edward Johnson and Simon Willard, the two officers sent by Massachusetts to find the head of the Merri- mack. This rock has been raised from its bed in the stream, at the point where it flows from the lake, and now most of it is above the surface of the water. The remains of the dam and the historic stone may be seen on the riglit, just before the train reaches tbe Weirs sta- tion. The Indians told the surveyors that the stream flowing from the lake was the true head of the Merrimack ; but Passaconaway, in 1G59, informed Major Waldron that the name was applicable either to that stream or to tlie Pemigewasset. The Weirs of the present day is, in the summer-time, a place of very popular resort. A series of grove meetings— religious, temperance and military — attract thousands of visitors during the month of August ; many coming from near points for a day only, while others encamp here, or sojourn in cottages or in the hotels, of which there are three, viz,., the Hotel Weirs, the Lakeside House, and the Winne- cootte House. As the traveller approaches the station from the south, the grove of the New Hampshire Veterans' Association is on the left, and just beyond is tlie Hotel Weirs. A large building used as a meet- I JUIpifUlUII i2 r It i 1 I f A • 'T J I 1 7J Ing place and a dining hail by tlie Veterans is in tlie rear of the hotel and the Winnecoette House still farther up the hill. Ten Grand Army departments have roomy and convenient cottag.s, five having been built the present season. A new and tasty building for head- quarter offices has also been built near the railroad station and steam- boat landmg. The latter has been extended one hundred feet over the water, the past season, and upon it a much-needed and well-appointed restaurant built, which the travelling public will And ready to supply all needs or reasonable wants; being built on an elevated platform over the waters of the lake, it will be found a delightfully cool and pleasant place in which to obtain refreshment,-the waters, shores and islands, with the majestic surrounding mountains, being in full view The grove where most of the religious gatherings are held is on the right, just beyond the station, and between the railroad ai-.d the lake Additional land on the left of the railroad has also been purchased, and a new church thereon is proposed. A skating rink was built on the hill west of the station last year, which is conducted ou strictly temperance principles, which is true of all the place. The steamboat wharf is near the station; and the steamer "Lady of the Lake," which plies between this point and the two famous resorts at the head of the lake, and on the eastern shore,— Centre Harbor and Wolfboro',— con- nects with all the day express trains. In the view from The Weirs, the Ossipee Mountains, culminating in Mt. Shaw, are seen to special advantage. On their left is the sharp peak of Chocorua, and stretching away from them in the same direction are Paugus, Passaconaway, White Face, Tripyramid, and Sandwich Dome or Black Mountain, in the order here given. Nearer is Red Hill, just back of Centre Harbor. A little distance above The Weirs, Mt.' Washington is for a moment visible. The landscapes and water views from any spot about the Weirs are remarkably fine, but are especially so from Captain Wadleigh's home, on the hill to the right of the Weirs, or from the hotel piazzas ; the sunset views are a special feature. This whole region is a favorite with the Quaker poet who has written— " The shadows round the inland sea Are deepening into night; Slow up the slopes of Ossipee They chase the lessening light. Tired of the long day's blinding heat, I rest ray languid eye, Lake of the Hills ! where cool and sweet Thy sunset waters He ! Along the sky, in wavy lines, O'er isle and reach and bay, Green-belted with eternal pines, The mountains stretch away. Below, the maple masses sleep Wliere shore with water blends, While midway on tho tranquil deep The evening light, dQscends. \i 74 So seemed it when yon hill's red t rown Of old, the Indian trod, And, througli tlio HiinHot air looked down, I'pon the ymilc of (lod." The "red crown" refers to Itcd Hill, north of tlie lake, not far from Centre Harbor, which is 2,043 feet high, and commands a magnificent view. The " Smile of God" refers to the supposed meaning of Win- nipesaukee, referred to in a preceding paragraph. OSSIPEE MOUNTAIN I'AKK. " The topmost crag" of Ossipee formerly went ?)y tlie homely, if ex- pressive, name of " Black Snont."* At a March meeting, in 1882, the citizens of Moultonboro' changed it to "Mount Shaw," in honor of Mr. P.. F. Sl^a^v, of Lowell, Avho has a large estate iu a remarkably beauti- ful glen, nearly a third of the way up its grand side, known as Ossipee Mountain Park. It contains 5,000 acres, iu which there is every desir. able beauty of crag, forest and cascaded stream. Yielding to pressing importunities, the owner has consented to share its beauties with others, and has opened it to the public. " The Hall" is situated in the midst of a lawn of seven acres, on the edge of a plateau 800 feet above the waters of Winniposaukee. There is a brook through the premises Avhicli reminds one of Long- fellow's description of another, not far off: — "At first, resembling A little child, that all alone Comes venturing; down the stairs of stone, Irresolute and trembling. Later ****** Out of the forest dark and dread, Across the open fields it fled Like one pursued and haunted." The stream, known as th^ Weelohka, has a descent of 250 feet in its mile through the park, and a remarkably beautiful cascade with a fail of 49 feet. The "ramble" alonir this brook and over its rustic l)ridires, which cross and recross it, is the delight of visitors. There are five miles of woodland paths, and from the vistas cut at various points, and from a crag 12G feet higher than -The Hall," known as "Crow's Nest," most wonderful sunset views maybe had; IMoosilauke on the west, and Kearsarge and Monadnock at the south-west, l)eing included in the vast landscape. The poet AVhittier is one of those most enamored with this place, and from here might have written his well-known lines : — "First a lake Tinted w'ith sunset ; next the wavy lines Of far receding hills; and yet more far, Monadnock lifting from his night of pines His rosy forehead to the evening sun." i I * .V substantial lookout has been erected on this summit, forty. fcur feet in height. The platform is 3,000 feet above sea level. A gootl and easy path kvuls up from the Hall. The view is pronounced the grandest of lake and inountaiu scenery iu all Ts'ew Entrland. 75 ! i. 1 76 This uncommon resort is in tlic town of Moultonuoro', N.H., and Is reached from Weirs Station by tlie steamer " Lady of theLalve" to Centre Harbor, wlicre a sta^e awaits her noon- trip arrival. The stage passes through tlie villages of Moultonborj' Mills and Corner t.* the "Tark." This stage drive is notable for the excellent views it supplies of the tinest of all the mountain ranges, Sandwich Dome, Tripyramid, Passaconawaj , Cliocorua and Whiteface coming successively into sight. At one place tlio road winds around the face of tlie acclivity 300 feet above tlie liighway at its base, supplying a wonderful view of the lake. Tlie Hall is home-like, with all sanitary ap{)ointments. The table is supplied from tlie farm and dairy. As a retreat for rest without mo- notony, tliis highland glen is commended. Sulphur and chalybeate springs are here found. Connuunications addressed to B. F. Shaw, Lowell, Mass., receive earliest attention. Application should oe made in advance of arrival, as there is no village to accommodate "over- flow." 8QUAM LAKES AND ASIJUAM HOUSE. Lying west and north-west of Winnipesaukee are the Squam lakes, of which there are three. Tlicy may ])e reached via steamer " Lady of the Lake" from The Weirs to Centre Harbor, and thence by carriage over a delightful road some seven miles. But the most direct route is by rail to Ashland, {^nd thence by stage or mountain wagon to Shepherd Hill, which rises eight hundred feet in the centre of the laud dividing the three lak< ■. On this immense round hill of rock, partly covered with ."oil, is situated the popular Asquam House. This hill has long enjoyed an envial)le reputation for the grandeur and beauty of the v.ew as seen from its summit. It is here that Whittier's poem, "The Hill- Top," has its location ; and in it he wrote : — " I felt the cool breath of the North; Between me and the sun, O'er deep, still lake, and ridgy earth I saw the cloud-sha " 'S run. Before me stretched for gliHteninjj miles, Lay mountain-girdled Squam; Like green-winged birds, the leafy isles Upon its bosom swarm. •A good look off,' the driver said ; ******* A lady, who, from Thornton Hill, Had liold her i)lace outside ******* Besought me with so sweet a smile, That — although I hate delays — I could not choose but rest awhile.' " And there are few people " with soul so dead" tliat they would not involuntarily stop Avhen "The top-stone, bare and brown," of this grand liill is reached.

It is sufficient to say that it is the favorite view of our beloved Quaker poet; and every summer he comes to review it. On the north side of the hill, under the trees, from a rustic bench on a broken ledge, "the Bard of Liberty" secures his particular delight. It is a view through a narrow vista, made by the pines, birches and poplars, out upon the lake far ])elow; several of the islands are seen, and away beyond the lake, " There towered ChoeoruaV peak,"' as he originally saw it; its green ])aso and high white horn filling the vista, as through the latter Avas a frame for the view. TIi • Rev. Mr. Nichols, of Christ Church, Hartford, Conn., is to 1)uihl a cottage on these " Whittier's Rocks " this season; Captain Bunce, of the U. S. Navy, has one near by, and a few others are located on the eastern slope of the hill. From the hotel veranda, or its tower, the whole basin and surrounding mountains can be seen at ii glance. n le visitors m the summer season, and is under the management of Mr. W. F. Bowman, which is a guarantee of its excellence. Tlie railway station, steamboat landing and hotel are contiguous, and the hotel piazzas command a magnificent view of the lake and the neighboring mountains. A promi- nent object seen on the west shore of the lal^e, about a dozen mdes distant, is Owl's Head. This mountain, on account of it^ isolated position, becomes a picturesque feature in tlie landscape, A^hile its summit commands a magnificent view of the lake and the surround- ing countrv. There are many fine rambles and drives in and about Newport; and excursions upon the lake by steamer, sail-boat and row-boat, form anotlier source of pleasure. Newport is upon the direct Montreal & Boston Air Line, the South Eastern Railway form- ing here a junction with the Passumpsic liailroad. This latter road also has a line running north to Sherbrooke, and, in connection with the Grand Trunk Railway, to Quebec. THE CONNECTICUT LAKES. The Connecticut Lakes, the head waters of the Connecticut River, like the Rangely Lakes, furnish rare sport for the angler; and the sur- rounding forests abound in game, including deer and lordly moose. A pleasant carriage ride of twenty-five miles from Colebrook, along the valley of the Upper Connecticut, and through West Stewartstown, Canaan (Vt.) , and Pittsburgh, Avill bring one to tlie lower and largest of the three lakes. There is a cosey hotel here, the Connecticut Lake House. Tlie lower lake covers about three square miles, and has an elevation of 1,(518 feet; the second lake has an elevation of 1,852 feet; and the third lake, of 2,058 feet. A trip of about twelve miles east from the first Connecticut Lake, over an old logging road and bridle path, leads to Parmachenee Lake. In and KMi tie IMte Mountains Region, CHAPTER X. PLYMOUTH AND THE PEMIGEWAS8ET HOUSE. In the mind of the traveller these two names are synonymous. When the town is mentioned, visions of a neat, capacious, finely appointed, and splendidly kept hotel arise; and, if the hotel is referred to, a beautiful town surrounded by hills, watered by the winding Pemige- wasset River, and with pleasant and inviting country roads stretching out over hill and through dale, comes into being. The Court House, the Normal School building, and several churches, are the most prom- inent edifices besides the hotel. The old Court House, now a library building, in rear of the present Court House, is the one in which Daniel Webster made his first plea. It was removed from the south part of the village. The Pemigewasset intervales, at Plymouth, are broad and very picturesque, and scattered over them are many beautiful elm trees. Mount Prospect, formerly known as North Hill, is in the neighboring town of Holderness, between four and five miles from Plymouth. The view from the top is very grand, embracing as it does the neighboring lakes and great numbers of mountain peaks. Liver- more Falls, between two and three miles above Plymouth, are in a rocky defile of the Pemigewasset River. They will well repay a visit, as will also the New Hampshire and Massachusetts State fish-hatching establishment near by The Pemigewasset House has long been one of the most popular of the mountain hotels, by reason of both its pleasant situation and its high standard. The building has a frontage of 220 feet, is four stories in height, and its rooms are especially spacious, airy and comfortable. The halls are commodious; and the dining room, from necessity, is a large apartment. Every railway traveller, as well as the summer visitor who tarries long within its walls, feels a personal interest in this popular hotel, for the reason that it is the chief dining station on the route going either north or south. THE PEMIGEWASSET VALLEY AND FRANCONIA NOTCH. The opening of the Pemigewasset Valley Branch, in 1883, marked a new era in White Mountain travel. Hitherto the traveller, upon his arrival at Plymouth, liad the choice presented him, if he intended go- ing to the Profile House, of pursuing Ills fartlier journey by stage (a distance of thirty miles), or of continuing by rail via lethlehem Junc- tion, and thus entering that famous retreat from tlie north. Tlie only means of reaching any of the numerous hotels and boarding houses •4 t ■ ■■■ "Old Man of the Mountains." mm '^^'■H lTJjteiiJfc'^ I along tlie beautiful valley were furnished by stage. These limited facilitiej! prevented many persons from taking one of the most delight- ful journeys afforded in the whole round of mountain travel. The Pemigewasset Valley has always been a favorite haunt of artists and the lovers of Nature. The approach to the high mountains of the Fran- conia Range furnishes a constant succession of beautiful landscapes. In many places the valle'- broadens into pleasant intervales, where the river winds amid luxuris eadows, while the dark hills rise on either side. In the blue distance, up the long vista, are seen the bold out- lines of Mounts Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty, Flume, Pemigewasset, Cannon, and Kinsman. A turn In the road brings before one a new and charming picture, the mountain forms about tlie Franconla Notch be- coming more and more distinct. There are several little villages, and numerous farn^ liouses, scattered through the valley; and, as might be expected, the most attractive and commanding situations have been cho,;en for hotels and boarding houses. At Camptou a view opens to the right, up the Mad River Valley, which so fascinated Longfellow, and the wildness of whose stream inspired him to write — " ' Why dost thou so wildly rush and roar, Mad River, O, Mad River? Wilt thou not pause and cease to pour Thy hurrying, headlong waters o'er This rocky shelf forever?' * I heard the distant ocean call, Imploring and eutreating; Drawn onward, o'er this rocky wall I plunged, and the loud waterfall Made answer to the greeting. And now, beset with many ills, A toilsome life I follow ; Compelled to carry from the hills These logs to the impatient mills Below there, in the hollow. Men call me mad, and well they may, When, full of rage and trouble, I burst my banks of sand and clay, And sweep their wooden bridge away, Like withered reeds or stubble.' " The debris along the Mad River and Pemigewasset valleys, with the wash of sand and stones over many a meadow, plainly shows what torrents sometimes pour down these streams when spring thaws or summer rains overfill them. At North Woodstock the east branch of the Pemigewasset enters, coming from a pass through the mountains which leads direct to Fabyan's, and along which It Is proposed to some day extend the railroad now terminating at this point, which would much shorten the distance to the heart oi the mountains. There is a foot-path through this valley at present, and good trout streams abound.

Having easy rail connection to the South, and be- ing within ten miles of the Profile, with all the Franconia Notch attractions between, with a fine, wide valley, num».rous side valleys, a multitude of trout brooks, as yet but little fished, and with mountain views on all sides, its houses were crowded last season. Increased accommodations will await the larger number of visitors sure to come this year. While the east branch valley leads to Fabyan's, from the west flows the Moosilauke Brook, on which is the Agassiz Basin which has some remarkable rock scenery. Through this valley a path only eight miles long leads to Moosilauke Mountain. There is a point on this path where nearly all the Tresidential Range and many other grand mountains cun be seen. From North Woodstock to the Profile House a gap of between ten and eleven miles remains to be traversed by stage. The railroad ride presents a magnificent series of views throughout its whole extent, and renders a journey expeditious that was formerly, from necessity, slow ; but there are few travellers who will regret the fact tnat the stage-coach has been left to perform a part of the trip, and a part whore the visitor would the more willingly linger. The stage outfit is of the best description, and the ride from the terminus of the railroad up through the Franconia Notch is delightful. The valley towns passed through on the railroad journey, after leav- ing Plymouth, are Campton, Thornton and Woodstock. Each of these places presents rare attractions for the summer sojourner; and Camp- ton, more especially, is liberally provided with boarding houses. The upper part of the valley is mainly a wilderness, with but few houses until the Flume and Profile Houses are reached. i» I THE STAGE RIDE. Gaining a seat in or upon one of the fine stage-coaches which ply between North Woodstock and the Profile Hous,e, the traveller drinks in the pure mountain air, and feasts his eyes upon new visions of beauty. Soon after leaving North Woodstock, the road crosses Har- vard Brook, upon which the Georgiana Falls are situated, between one and two miles distant. The valley has now narrowed ; and the dark mountain ridges crow«^ upon either side, with here and there a little intervale of field and meadow, or forest tract. Little Coolidge, Big Coolidge, and the Potash Mountains rise upon the right; Pemigewas- set Mountain on the left; while in front are the bold forms or Mounts Flume, Liberty, Lincoln and Lafayette. Only one or two houses are seen, until the Flume House, about hali way on the road to the Profile House, is reached. This is a large and pleasant hotel, which has re- cently been much enlarged. It is in proximity to those great natural wonders, the Flume and the Fool, which, however, can best be visited, when time can be given, in a special excursluu from the Pronic House. 87 unless the visitor intends! to make tlie Flume House his stopping place. Both hotels are under the same management. The Flume upon Flume Brook, a mile dis- tant; and the Pool, upon the remlgowassct Rivor, half a mile ' distant by a pleasant pathway through the forest. Pemigewasset Mountain, a higli spur of Mount Kinsman, rises in rear of the Flume House. The view from the summit towards the superior peaks on the opposite side of the valley, and of the valley southward, is very fine. Tlie peaks on tlio east side of the valley form the profile called "Washington lying in State;" Mount Liberty serving as the face, Avith its highest ridge as the nose. From tlie Flume House to the little plateau on which the Profile House is situate^, there la au S.'^ ascent of 543 feet ; and the road winds through tiie forest, with fre- quent glimpses of the high beetling cliffs on either iide. The pass is in places very narrow. Tlie Temigewasset River, here a tumbling, rapid stream, is crossed a little distance above the Flume House ; and the Basin is beside the road a mile farther on. The frowning southern cliffs of Cannon or Profile Mountain are seen in front for some distance, Avhile Eagle Cliff rises as the eastern wall of the Notch; and when the beautiful little Profile Lake is nearly passed, and the Profile House nearly reached, tlie rugged features of the famous profile itself comes plainly Into view. Out of the placid little lake, now at one's feet, flows the Pemigewasset, which, in the thirty miles between here and Ply- mouth, has a fall of over fifteen hundn d feet. This mountain lakelet is the true source of the Merrimack River. The distance from Boston to the Profile House by this route is only one hundred and fifty-six miles, and to the Flume House, one hundred and fifty-one miles. THE PROFILE HOUSE. One of the great centres of resort in tlie White Mountains region is the Franconia Notch. Two of the great natural wonders of the White Hills, the Profile and the Flume, are to be seen within its precincts; and its whole environment is of the most romantic description. liug- gcd mountains, and peaceful, placid lakes, one of which mirrors the stern visage of the "Old Man of the Mountain," Avho has so long looked out from his high perch on the cliffs, combine their picturesque charms to render this spot cue of matchless beauty. The Profile House, one of the most fam'jus of the mountain hotels, is situated in the midst of all this grandeur. The little mountain-encircled plateau occupied by the Profile House f?nd its dependencies stands 1 ,974 feet above the sea; and the hotel is tlie highest in the mountains, except those on Mount Washington and Moosilauke. Mount Cannon, on the southern face of which the great Profile hangs twelve hundred feet liigher, rises on the Avest to the height of 3,8r»0 feet, or 1,876 feet higher than the hotel ; while Eagle Cliff towers on the east side of the glen, 1,472 feet above the Profile House, or 8,446 feet above the sea. The summit of Mount Lafayette, 5,259 feet high, is less than four miles away, by a winding bridle-path, although hidden by the nearer though lesser heights. A little distance north of the hotel is the beautiful Echo Lake ; and still nearer, in tlie opposite direction, is Profile Lake, equally an object of beauty; while across its fair expanse, and some- times crowned by a wreath of clouds, is the Avonderf ul Profile, the most remarkable object of its kind in the world, the naturalness of which at once impresses every beliolder, and the picture of which will ever after remain with great distinctness in the mind. As soon as the grim majesty of the profile is seen, one at once understands the impression made on the poet, — * * ♦ " Like a sun-rimmed cloud, Tbo great Nolch mouutalns shone, VVftlciic'doverby ihe solonin-browcd And awful face of atone." 1 4 89 90 The face is formed by a series of three ledges, one of which forms the forehead, another tlie nose and upper lip, and the third the chin. When viewed from the front, all resemblance to a human face is lost. The face was discovered, in 1805, by two workmen on the Kotch road. The Flume is situated between five and six miles below the Proflle House, and near the Flume House. It is a great Assure in the rocks, about seven hundred feet long, and from sixty to seventy feet In depth. The walls are perpendicular ; and in the narrowest part a huge bowlder, which at some remote period crashed down the mountain side, formerly hung suspended. On the 20th of June, 1883, a great storm occurred in the mountains, accompanied by several terrific land-slides, one of which, starting nearly at the top of Mount Liberty, gathei'ed force when it reached tlie Flume stream, and swept down the narrow defile with resistless fury, carrying everything, even the great bowlder, be- fore it. Thousands of huge rocks were hurled down the ravine and spread over a wide space below. The most marvellous changes were wrought within the Flume itself. Not only was the gigantic bowlder hurled from its position, but the rift was much extended, and deepened in places. Although it is a great disappointment to the present trav- eller not to see thut stone which " if it had been a ' little bolder' would have fallen through;" yet in the opinion of many the Flume is more remarkable than before. At the upp^r end a new cascade was created, and an immense rock was thrown over upon others, while the under side was hollowed out so as to leave a grotto of respectable size. A plank walk extends up through the Flume beside, and at times partly over, the stream. The Flume, Pool and Basin are generally included in a round excursion from the Proflle House ; and, for the accommo- dation of guests, carriages are run at stated hours. The ride is de- lightful, as a splendid road extends through the Notch, along the side of the Pemigewasset Iliver. The waters of Profile Lake and a little pond just above it flow into the Pemigewasset, forming, in fact, its source ; while Echo Lake flows into one of the tributaries of the Con- necticut. There are mai^y pi sant rambles in the vicinity of the two lakes, a,nd boating and flshiiv dso enter Into the list of amusements. Bald Mountain, north of Echo Lake, and eajily reached, affords a glo- rious lookout. Mount Cannon is ascended on foot, but not without much exertion ; and the summit of Lafayette is reached on horseback. Mount Cannon derives its name from a large, flat rock near its summit, which bears a strong resemblance to a cannon when viewed from below. In its size, appointments, and the cliaracter of its management, the Profile House befits its noble surroundings ps fully as the works of man could be expected to meet such grand requirements. The hotel accom- modates l)etween five and six hundred guests in royal style. It is a very fashionable resort ; and its register of guests is a roll of the most honored names of Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and the South and West. Tlie table, celebrated for its excellence, derives niany fresh delicacies from the fine Proflle House farm in Fraucoula. ■]. 91 THE 7LUUE. 02 A choice herd of Jersey cows, for example, furnishes fresh milk. Gas and water are supplied throughout the liouse ; and the sanitary arrange- ments were perfected a few years ago, at great expense, imdcr the 'ny residents of the vicinity is, perhaps, best known as such ; but its title is of Indian origin, and was derived from two Indian words, — moosi, signifying "bald," and auJce, "place;" the letter I having been inserted for euphony. The appropriateness of calling the mountain a "bald place," instead of a "hillock" or a "place for moose," is readily seen. A carriage road extends to the summit, where a com- fortable hotel — the Tip-Top House — will be found. The view is one of the iinest Ut be had in the mountain region, and the glories of a sua- 9t set and sunrise when witnessed from such an elevation surpass descrip- tion. The isolation of Moosilauke makes it the grandest of view points. On its summit is the broad plateau from which the Indian name is de- rived, and it is covered with mosses, alpine daisies and mountain cran- berries. The new Moosilauke House, erected on the site of the well and favor- ably known Breezy Point House, is at the base of the mountain, midway upon the stage road from Warren to the Summit. It is 1 ,700 feet above |he sea level, and has accommodations for about 100 guests, supplying the best of modern hotel appliances and service. There is a beautiful maple grove near the house, and the whole region is famous for trout fishing. The ascent from the Moosilauke House to the Summit is easily made by buckboard, or oa foot, in about three hours. The Moosilauke and Tip-Top Houses are under the business manage- ment of Mr. John F. Thayer, to whom all correspondence should be addressed at Breezy Point, N.H., while the domestic arrangements will continue under the control of Miss S. F. Woodworth. A regular stage line from Warren to the Moosilauke House and Tip- Top House runs in connection with train leaving Boston at 8.30 A.M. LITTLETON. Pleasantly situated in the valley of the Amraonoosuc, on both sides of the stream, and extending up the neighboring hillsides, is the town of Littleton, one of the largest and most prosperous places in Northern New Hampshire. Neat and picturesque cottages, busy streets and stores, and several manufacturing establishments, which do not mar the scene, are the characteristics of the place roost readily noticed by the traveller. There is a large hotel— Thayer's White Mountain House— in the village ; and another— the Oak Hill House— occupies a commanding positi{)n on the heights. There are several boarding houses f ■ the entertainment of summer guests. Pure air, pure water, and all the other concomitants of a healthful abiding place, are found here ; and a feature of special importance is its accessibility. All trains on the White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, between Boston and the mountains, or en route to or from New York or Saratoga, stop here, and to good purpose; for the passenger traffic here is quite important at all times, and especially so in the summer season. The town covers au area of 3G,000 acres, and its population at the time of the last census was 2,936. The chief industries of the place are the manufacture of buckskin gloves, and the production of photographic and stereoscopic views. Mr. B. W. Kilburn's estab- lishment, which is devoted to this latter branch of business, is the largest of its kind in the world. One of the raost prominent buildings in Littleton is the High School edifice, which is on the heights back of the town. The adjacent hills afford noble views of the high mountains ; and there are many pleasant 94 05 drives and rambles in the vicinity. The rapids of the Connecticut Rive , known as tlie Fifteen-Mile Falls, border the town for a stretch of thirteen miles. Waterf ord, Vt. , is only Ave miles distant, and Beth- lehem is about the same in the opposite direction. It Is also a fine drive to Sugar Hill, through Franconia. Since last season many improvements have been made at Thayer's, among which may be mentioned the building of a boat house upon the shore of the Ammonoosuc River, which is at the rear of the hotel. Good ])oats can always be had. FUANCONIA AND l.ISBON. Franconia is situated just north of Franconia Notch, and in the val- ley of Gale River, siy miles over a pleasant stage road from Littleton and a little less from Bethlehem. The approach from the latter place is over a spur of Mount Agassiz, and the descent into the deep bowl- shaped valley supplies one of the most enjoyable drives In the whole hill country. The nearness of Mount Lafayette, Haystack, or Mount Garfield, and the other grand peaks of the Franconia Range, gives to the views great boldness, — " The great peaks seem bo near, Burned clean of mist, so starkly bold and clear, I almost pause the wind In the pines to hear, The loose rock's fall, the steps of browsing doer ; " while the foreground of meadow and forest adds rare picturesqueness and beauty. The Profile House is only six miles distant, and the won- ders of the Notch are just beyond. Gale River and Lafayotte Brook afford excellent trout fishing, and other mountain e r o also ac- cessible. The Bridal Veil Falls, seventy-six feet o,re upon Copper Mine Brook, which flows down the west Mount Kinsman. The Mount Kinsman Flume is on th f the mountain. In the village are the buildings of the Fj. . Com- pany, which began mining operations here in 1805. 'ii_ lon of the mountain country is known to possess minerals of various kinds, and in the neighboring town of Lisbon are several gold mines. There are a number of very popular hotels and boarding houses in the tow n ; and the Goodnow and Sunset Hill Houses, both large and fashionable summer resorts, are a little distance across the line in Lisbon. The latter is best reached from Lisbon station, ten miles below Littleton. The easterly part of Lisbon, in which the above houses stand, forms the western rim of the Franconia Valley, and overlooks its village as well as includes in its view all the surrounding beauties. The new Forest Hills House, which was opened in 1888 by Messrs. H. "W. Priest and J. "W. Dudley, ha^ become a great favorite with the best people. It occupies a commanding site on the summit of Pine Hill, on the Bethlehem road, and only four miles from that place, and about the same from the Profile House. From every side charming views are obtained, including, in the sweep of the horizon from west to south anrl past. Riifrar Hill, in T.ishnn, the wluilo nf t.lm "Prnn/i< i5p VniipY M or village and mountains, and the Mount Washington range. Fifty acres are devoted to lav.ns and groves. The he .1 is admirably ccnd cted, nnd is a groat acquisition to the long list of White Momitaiii hotels. Tlie quiet beauties and healthful atmosphere have led to the building of severr.l private summer cottages: others are projected, and a farm near the village has been laid out in streets and lots for thib purpose. The Lafayette House in the easterly part of the valley, com- bines some of the features of an old country tavern with the modern mountain hovso, and is kept by the three Richardson brothers, who were popular stage drivers in the old coaching days. Receiving guests the year around, they have the first comers in the summer also, before the larger houses are open. Just beyond, on the hillside, on the Notch road, is the Profile House farm with its fine herds, hotbeds and gardens. BETHLEHEM AND MAPLEWOOD. Perhaps die most famous of the mountain towns is Bethlehem. Sit- uated at a considerable elevation, commanding a wide prospect, and renowned for the purity and healtlilulness of its air, it has become a . -mmer resort for many hundreds of city denizens. Its hotels and boirdi.-ig houses are large, and ; ,/ajs, in the season of summer visi- tof;=:, filled with guests. With the Franccnia Range on the one hand and the Presidential Range upon the other, the chief mountain outlc jk^ are grand in the extreme, while every principal point is easily acct al- ble. A spur of the Profile & Franconia Notch Railroad ascends the hill rM traverses the outskirts of the village from one end to the other. From Mount Agassiz, a little distance southeast of the village, and also from many lesser elevations, wide-sweeping ^ '".ws may be had. The elevation of Mount Aj'assiz is 2,042 feet. V/ ith its rural charms unim- paired, Bethlehem has of late years assumed the comforts and con- veniences of a summer city, including a supply of pure water, new springs having been added the past season, and the supply made ample for domestic and public purposes, improved sewerage, and railway com- munication with the outer world. From the station new walks have been laid the past season to the main street and hotels. In 1803, Pres- ident Dwight found the town to consist only of " log huts, recent, few, poor, and planted on a soil singularly rough and rocky." He was. however, lelighted with the magnificent view of the n;ountains. The advantages of Bethlehem as a resort for invalids are universally recog- nized. According to Professor F. W. Clarke, the Maplewood Hotel is 1,489 feet above the sea-level, and the Sinclair House 1,459 feet. A writer in "The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal" (Dr. W. H. Geddings) gives the result of an extended series of observations taken with a view to ascertain the adaptability of the climate of Bethlehem to the wants of invalids. Out of the sixty-two days in July and August, 1878, he shows that there Averc only three days in which invalids could not with safety have remained out of doors during the whole or a part of the day. Throughout the whole of forty-seven days they might W 98 99 have remained out safely. In arriving at these results, Dr. (Jeddiims took into consideration, not only rainy days, but also those Avheu there was cool and windy weather. The exemption from hay-fever enjoyed at Bethlehem has long l)een one of the main considerations, leading thither hundreds of summer visitors. In tlie long list of hotels and boarding houses, the largest are the Maplewood and the Sinclair Houses. The Maplewood is a magnificent house of the largest class ; and its en- terprising proprietor, Mr. Isaac S. Cruft, is yearly adding to its extent. It IS managed by Messrs. Ainslie & McCJilvray. The hotel opens about the ilrst of July, and accommodates over five hundred guests The Maplewood Cottage opens June 1, and accommodates one hundred persons. There are also a number of private cottages which are leased to families for the season. The Maplewood has every desirable feature, including gas, a copious supply of pure water from springs on the hills' a post-office within the hotel, telegraph station, news stand, hair-dress- ing rooms, bath rooms, l)illiard room, ])owling allevs, a large hall for dancing and entertainments, a first-class table, extensive play-grounds, and a large livery stable. The Sinclair House is the oldest of the Bethlehem hotels. Witliin the past few years it has undergone extensive alterations and exten- sions. Its proprietors, Messrs. Durgin & Fox, have a high reputation as landlords; and among tlie guests of the house are many who have made the Sinclair their summer a])ode year after year. 'J'he drainage rnd other sanitary provisions are of the most approved character, and all the appointments of the house are flrst-cIass. A well-appointed livery stable supplies all requisite facilities for drives and horsebaelv excursions, and the opportunities for pleasant rambles are unlimited Within the house are telegraph office, news stand, billiard rooms, bath- ing rooms, etv.., and adjacent to the hotel are ample play-grounds for children, etc. The Sinclair accommodates three hundred and fifty guests. THE TWIN MOUNT.VIX, FAHYAN, MOUNT PLEASANT, AND CUAWFOUD HOUSES. TJiere are no better conducted hotels in America than Ihe eliief pul)- lic houses at the White Mountains; and prominent among tlie lea.ling establishments are the chain of splendid hostelries under the managi- nieiit and conductorship of Messrs. Barron, Merrill & Barron. As tlie traveller advances up the valley of the Amnionoosuc, towards Mount Washington or the Crawford Notch, he comes first uijon tl>,. Twin Mountain House. This hotel takes its name from two jirominent ])eaks of the Franconia Rjiiige. It is situated upon a high bluff overlooking the Amnionoosuc River and a l)roa(l panonima of iiiounfains. The Franconla liange is seen upon one liand, and the Mount Washington, or Presidential Range, upon the other. The Twin Mountain House has long been known as a quiet and secluded mountain retreat; and many persons come hither annually to vanciuish that aimoylng summer malady, ]00 r I 101 the " Imy fever," and to rnjoy the pure, liealth-giving mountain atmos- phere. 1 he hotel is under the excellent management r f Mr. F. A Cof ran ^Hie Fabyan House is situated at the great railway junction point of the mountains, and is one of the best known of all the public houses of the region. Fully nine-tenths of all the mountain tourists bring up eventually at Fabyan's, for all the different routes lead thither ^'he White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowell and the Portland & Ogdensburg Railroads enter here: while the branch towards Mount Washington-belonging to the former, and connecting, six miles dis- tant, ^yl h he Mount Washington Railway-makes a third diverging tT; ^'' ! '' """' ""^ ^^'' ^""'^^^^ ^^^ ^''^ appointed of the great White Mountains hostelries, and the high reputation it has ^ ..me in the past IS sure to be maintained. It is also under the management of TZa^7.2rrT''' " ^''"'''' ^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^"^"^ ^"^^^^^^ ^^ The Mount Pleasant House, which has been greatly enlarged within a few years past, is situated a short distance from Fabyan's, with" a glorious outlook upon the grand peaks of the Presidc.itial Range. Mount Pleasant, from which the hotel takes its name, rises in majestic form at the right; while the taller Mount Washington is in front flanked by Monroe and Franklin on one side, and Clay, Jefferson and Adams on the other. The railroad station is just in front of tie house, and from the front piazzas and windows the Mount Washington cars can be p anily seen on their winding way up the mountain side and frequently into the clouds. The quietness, with the railway con- veniences, the attractions of the grove on the hillside in the rear, and he substantial comforts of this house eonibine to recommend it to a arge class of people. It is under the personal supervision of Mr (scar G. Baijon, and this is a suflltlent guaranty that it takes high rank among its fashionable neighI)ors. The Cmwford House has a magnificent location upon a little plateau 3US north of the Gate of Crawford Notch. In front of the hou' e is a picturesque little lake, the source of the Saco River; and, just bey oil «.e Elephant's Head guards the entrance to the narrow pass Mouni Wilard rears its shapely mass upon the right, and partlyin front o he hotel; and the long serrated ridge of Mount Webster forms the west wall of the Notch.

The Crawford House is under the per- sonal managemenc of Mr. C. H. Merrill, one of its proprietors, and a gentleman who has won the esteem and respect of the travelling public to an unusual degree. Mr. Merrill brings to his important task a Ion- experience as a hotel manager; and the Crawford, under his guidance, has won wide fame. MOUNT WASHINGTON. An ascent to the top of the highest mountain peak is as easily accom- plished as any other railway journey, and the visitor is compelled to forego none of the comforts or luxuries provided in the lower world At this remarkai,]e elevation he finds a commodious hotel, to the very door of which, and through the clouds it may be, he is transported in a railway car. Formerly the clhubing of Mount Washington was at- tended by great hardship and fatigue, and was performed only by per- sons of tested strength and endurance. The crown of New England lifts its bare, weather-beaten summit 0,293 feet above the level of the sea. The neighboring mountains are overlooked ; and the vision ex- tends far across New Hampshire to the hilltops of Maine, Vermont Massachusetts, Canada, and, under favorable atmospheric conditions' to the summits of New York, and to the far away ocean. The encir- cling crests, peaks and ridges lie lik.^ billows upon a tempestuous sea Here and there dark, shadowy gulfs are seen, while far-distant vilhi-es sparkle in the sun. The chief river-courses are readily marked, and, on a clear day, a fair view may be had, between the mountains, of Lake Winnipesaukee, justifying indeed the Red men's conceit that it was a " Smile of the Great Spirit;" and the beholder studies geography on a grand and comprehensive scale. The Mount Washington Railway is necessarily constructed upon a difterent plan from ordinary steam roads. A grade of no less than 1 ,980 feet to the mile is actually overcome. Engine and car travel upon a middle ratchet-rail in which cog-wheels run. Notwithstanding this remarkable steepness, the passenger enjoys absolute safety, through a number of ingenious devices. Sliould a breakage occur, the train would be brought to a full stop. Atmospheric brakes are so arranged that a car may be made to descend at a snail's pace, entirely disconnected from the locomotive. In ascending, the- car is pushed ahead of the engine ; and there are safety devices which prevent the train from slipping back a single inch. The railvay is the invention of Mr. Sylvester Marsh, and has been improved in its practical workings very greatly by Mr. Waltfr Aiken, its elHcient manager. Many thousands "of i^vLcns are carried over the road annually, but not a single passenger has ever been injured. Mt. Washington is 387 feet higher than tlie Rigi-Knlm, the famous Swiss mountain, up the slopes of wliich two similar roads have been built. •m vu. tt ^ m n Mm* :. f^ i M*l^ ' iU »m mi i 'm^ 104 105 The Mount Washington Summit House (0. G. Barron, manager,) is a commodious and admirably arranged liotel, well calculated to tempt the visitor to remain over night, and thus witness a sunset and a sun- rise,— spectacles which are often gorgeous beyond description. Fires are a daily necessity; and, to insure comfort to visitors, the sleepin- rooms are heated by steam. The dining-room, office and narlor arc large apartments; and the sleeping-rooms, on the floors above, are ninety-four in number. Near the hotel is an ol)servatory erected by Mr. Aiken, and upon the north-western verge of the little plateau is the observing station of the United States Signal Service. The hotel is under the management of the Messrs. Barron, Merrill & Barron, which fully guarantees the comfort of its patrons. Strangers should use caution in exploring the region about Mount Washington, and not venture far from the beaten paths, unless accom- panied by a guide. Persons have perished of exposure and exhaustion while lost and bewildered in the clouds and storms about the summit. JEFFERSON. This town is in some sense a rival to Bethlehem. It is similarly sit- uated upon an elevation ; and the pure air and general healthf ulness there enjoyed have given it great favor as a resort for invalids and pleasure seekers. Sufferers from hay-fever and catarrhal complaints here find instantaneous relief. The chief village, Jeflferson Hill, is mainly a long line of summer hotels. The outlook upon the Presi- dential Range, with Mounts Adams { nd Jefferson in the near front, is extremely grand. Starr King declares "Jefferson Hill may, without exaggeration, be called the uUima Thule of grandeur in an artist's pil- grimage among the New Hampshire mountains ; for at no other point can he see the White Hills themselves in such array and force. •' Mount Pliny is the ancient name for the long wooded range in the northeast part of the town; and the culminating part of the range was, in 18G1, named Mount Starr King, in honor of the author of "The White Hills." It is on the high slopes of this mountain that the village is situated. In the east part of the town is another group of boarding houses and farms, to which the post-office designation of Jefferson Highlands and Meadows has been given. There are two ponds in the town; one of which, Cherry Pond, is upon the line of the railroad, while the other, the Pond of Safety, is high up among the mountain ridges, 2,000 feet above the sea level. The former is the chief source of John's River; and the latter, of the Upper Amraonoosuc. Israel's River traverses Jefferson from the southeast to the northwest. The two rivers, John's and Israel's, derived their names from two brothers, John and Israel Glines, who hunted beaver and other animals along the streams before there were any other white settlers in this region. The opening of the Whitefleld & Jefferson Railroad has rendered Jefferson easy of access • and every year brings fresh accessions to the ranks of those who unite in declaring, with Starr King, that this resort is without a peer; for lOG from whatever point in the town one loolcs out he sees grand mountain forms, while towering above them all in his grandeur is Mount "Wash- ington, the buildings on which are in plain sight. The drive from Lancaster to and through Jefferson Street cannot be surpassed, and is particularly recommended. H 00 9 O a a H E-i ■o u z LANCASTER. Visitors to the White Mountains who penetrate the region no farther than the great hotels which form the most noted places of resort gen erally form erroneous ideas regarding the section of the State 'ivinsr north of the chief group of hills. Some of the best farming country and several of the prettiest towns in th. Granite State, are there to be found. One of the most beautiful places , and at the same time one of the most accessil)le, is Lancaster, on the main line of the White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowell Railroad, seventeen miles north of 107 Wing Road. It occupies the valley of the Connecticut Hirer, here quite elevated and broad, is the shire town of C .os County, and con- tains the offices and public buildings pertaining to a county-seat. The situation IS very healthful, and the climate in summer is mild and de- lightful. Fine views are had of the neighboring mountains, and good roads lead m all directions, especially that towards Jefferson Street. Mount Prospect, an isolated hill three miles from the village, on which IS an excellent hotel, commands a royal view which no tourist should lau to see. It is easily accessible from Lancaster or Jeff-rson. Ihe new and elegant Lancaster House forms a handsome ornament to this charming town. It is supplied with steam heat, gas, electric bells, and other modern hotel appliances, and is prepared to take the best possible care of its summer guests. Lancaster is likely to become I'r 11 ff '"^'* ^^^*^^«d P'^^^*^« «f resort in Northern New Hampshire, now that the town has a large summer hotel. COLEBROOK. This village is reached via the White Mountains Division to Groveton Junction, thence to North Stratford by Grand Trunk Railway, where stages are taken tliirteen miles to Colebrook. It is situated on the eastern side of the Connecticut River, and the Mohawk River and Beaver Brook run through the village. The village is abundantly sup- plied with pure spring water. Directly opposite Colebrook, on the Vermont side of the river, is Mount Monadnock, from the summit of which there is a magnificent view ; while at the foot of the mountain one mile from the village. Is a mineral spring which is strongly im- pregnated witli sulphur and iron. There are many beautiful dSves in Co ebrook and vicinity, among which may be mentioned a drive of ten miles to DixvUle Notch. Crossing the Connecticut into Vermont, and .^oing up the river eight miles, brings us to Canaan Village, and one din e. and the roads are very fine.

HOW TO MAKK THE TOUR OF THE MOUXTAIN8. There can be nothing more delightful in the way of summer travel ^.nan a tour embracing the chief pon.ts of interest in the Whit. Moun tan.s. The White Mountains Division of the Boston & Lowel Kanro?d now penetrates to every part of the region; and, as it is the graud highway of approach, the tourist will naturally turn his atCention to t m selecting his route. Making Boston the starting point, the touris proceeds to the Weirs, and should there diverge from the raihvay f o' an excursion upon Lake Winnipcsaukee, with visits to Centre Harbor and Wolf boro'. Considerable time may also be passed at the Wets where the summer finds a crowd of pleasure seekers.
