FALLS AT ITHACA

TONKIN. COUNTY.

The high fall of Fall River is the first which strikes the eye qp
riding from the steam-boat landing to the village. Its height is
116 feet, and its breadth is proportionate. Two immense piles of
rocks enclose the stream, and on the right hand, high up the
bank, a mill-race is seen winding round a point of the bank, sus-
pmded in mid air, and now and then an adventurous visitor care.
fully treading his way along the dizzy path. This raceway was
built in an extraordinary manner. A person let himself down from •
a tree standing on a high point above, and swinging over th
giddy steep, he there dug out places in the rock in which to fasten
the principal supporters of the-rice. The view from this place i:
grand and Impressive.
A short distance from this, •Jp the rocky bed of the creek, the
visitor proceeds until his steps are arrested by another splendid fall;
the bank presenting the most curious forms, the most surprising
arrangement of strata, and crowned with all the glorks of forest
vegetation. The fall .is beautiful—it is not so high as the preced-
ing, but it is more wild; the water pours over in large sheets, com-
mencing as it were from the topmost ledge, and then spreading out
widely and boldly below. The basin into which the water falls is.
also very picturesque.
Above this, at about thirty yards distance, is another very much
of the character of the falls at Trenton, where points of the rock in.
tervene between and separate the principal chutes. This is a very
interesting part of the route up the bed of the river, and by this time
the tourist is willing to sit down and take breath, that he may pro-
ceed to the next fall that awaits hie rerearch.

The fall of this sheet of water is diagonal ; it runs as it were from
right to left across the rock, and then suddenly contracts and falls
into a narrow chum, from whence it emerges in a more subdued
tone, and glides away.
Beyond this is still another, being the uppermost of all ' • a menu.
factory of rifles was formerly established 3t the summit. The bank
here is barren and steeper than below, and the volume of water pours
down almost in one sheet. It is one of the highest of them all, and
is very imposing in its appearance. The five falls we have
thus partially described, have -s descent of four hundred and
thirty-eight feet in the short space of one mile ; and afford an
unbounded variety of the wild and wonderful, es well u of *-
beautiful. The tails upon the Cascadlila are not less fine, though
upon a smaller scale. We shall notice but two of these at this
time. The one is in au apparent chasm of rock, and falls nearly,
perpendicular; the edges of the bank are rugged and broken, corn-
ingelose to the edge of the fall, and seem to confine it there. The
tall pine, the hemlock :lid the spruce, overshadow the amphitheatre
into which the waters pow. A beautiful little island, well known
as the Tea Island, is mr.ch frequented during the pleasant after.
nouns of summer by the ladies2f the village, who there prepare the
fragrant beven.ge, and do the honours of this natural saloon to the
' attendant beau. The other fall on this tree!: is a bolder and a more
striking one ; it is a handsome sheet of water, and bursts over the
ledge of rocks with 'great force. Beyond this are others equally
attractive.
