Y., on E. side of Cayuga lake; 179 m. W. from Albany, and 386 from W. C., 10 m. from Auburn, and 12 from Geneva. It is a flourishing place, and has consi lerable trade; a steamboat runs from this place to Ithaca. It contains 3 taverns, several stores, and mechanic shops, and about 60 houses. ingly inaccessible to mortal foot, still it reminds him of such terrestrial comforts as are sure to be acceptable after exercise in the pure air of the mountains. Another turn, and it again disappears, and the traveller next finds himself on the level rock of the Pine Orchard, and approaching the hotel 94 m. NW. from Annapolis, and 75 from from the rear. A moment more, and he is W. C. on the edge of the precipice in front of the noble buil ling. From this lofty eminence all inequalities of surface are overlooked. A seemingly endless succession of woods and waters-farms and villages, towns and cities, are spread out as upon a boundless map. Far beyond rise the Tagkannuc mountains, and the highlands of Connecticut and Massachusetts. To the left, and at a still greater distance, the Green mountains of Vermont stretch away to the north, and their blue summits and the blue sky mingle together. The beautiful Hudson, studded with islands, appears narrowed in the distance, with steam-boats almost constantly in sight; while vessels of every description, spreading their white canvas to the breeze, are moving rapilly over its surface, or idly loitering in the calm. These may be traced to the distance of nearly seventy miles with the naked eye; and again at times all below is enveloped in dark cloud and rolling mist, which, driven about by the wind, is continually assuming new, will, and fantastic forms. From the Pine Orchard a ride or walk of a mile or two brings you to the Kaaterskill falls. Here the outlet of two small lakes leaps down a perpendicular fall of 180 feet. It then gli les away through a channel worn in the rock, to a second fall of 80 feet. Below this it is lost in the dark ravine through which it finds its way to the valley of the Catskill. The waterfall, bold as it is, forms however but one of the many interesting features of this scene. Standing on the edge of the first fall, you look down into a dreary chasm, whose steep sides, covered with the dark ivy and the thick foliage of summer, seem like a green bed prepared for the reception of the waters. Making a circuit from this spot, and descending about midway of the first fall, you enter a footpath which conducts into an immense natural amphitheatre behind the waterfall. The effect of this scene is imposing beyond description. Far over your head projects a smooth surface of rock, forming a magnificent ceiling to this amphitheatre. In front is the ever-falling water, and beyond, the will mountain dell with the clear blue sky above. CAUGHNAWAGA, v. Montgomery co. N. Y., 404 m. from W. C., 41 m.
