Al Crawfords, viii give the patient some idea
Of the circumstances attending an excursion 20

the summit at 2 O'clock-the whole world lying
below aud not cloud 70 be seen "a more
perfectly clear air, our guide said, be had never
asfore Witnessed. At that place the thermomc-

and to Mr.. C.'s house att P. M.-thermometer
at 100"
IL the health after taking this aunt, is not re-
turned and the stomach not in perfect tone, con,
/ tinue the excursion through Bethlehem to Fran
coma Iron works, lS miles further, and visit the
ore hill about miles from the village, where
the workmen are drilling and blowing in a vein
Of Iron ore 200 feet from the surface in a solid
mass, not more than or 10 feet in width. BY
descending the hill you may enter at the mouth Of
this cave, or rather cTevce, where you will meet
on your passage into the mountain, the miners
with their loaded wheel-barrows looking like
those which the Imagination might paint as con-
/ ing from the regions Of darkness below.-AfteF
passing onward two or three hundred feet you
may, if you have courage, descend on plank to
the bottom OF the mine, where enveloped IN the
smoke of gun powder, you will with difficulty
discern the light above, through assure or
crevice Of 200 feet but from the top the eve
can distinguish nothing below, by reason Of the
depth, narrownesS Of the passage, and smoke Of
gunpowder
After your visit to this subterraneous region,
prepare yourself TO angle for trout, az a most
extraordinary pond, one mile long and half as
wide, situated about four miles, from the vii
Iage Of Franconia and furnished with a
good boat for the conve nience Of those who
have a relish for such recreations. The pond is
between two mountains on the road leading
through the south notch from Coos county 10
Boston, by the way of Concord, and being two
miles from any house, you win take with
lyou salt pork and after having caught your
trout and prepared them for cookery, place one
or two on one prong Of a a forked stick with a
slice Of pork on the other, holding your stick
over the fire 10 proper position for the pork 10
contribute its proportion OF relish to the trout,
you will, with the addition Of crackers or bread,
soon prepare savory and delicious meal The
place for carrying on this simple culinary oper-
atisn should be near very fine spring of cold
water at the head of the pond, where you may
readily light fire from the fire works which you
will not neglect TO take with you on such an ex-
cursion.-In about a mile from this pond, as
you travel South, you may behold a remarkable
lprofile of Roman face, in the most colossal
style, on the SIDE OF mOuntalnt Inc nose rs
about fifteen feet long, with the other parts OF
the face in due proportion The whole gives
this mountain giant the appearance OF saying

After visiting all these beauties and wonders
! you may wend your way home, either by Con.
cord or Conway, as circumstances or time may
render inviting.
/ That the Crawfordites may not be too much
elated they are reminded that the candidate was
present, which il is believed is not unusual az the
\ South.

head" seen as you pass from New YoTk up the
North river through the High Lands to Albany.
