Here am on the " stony hills" but pure atmos-
phere of Stafford, north of beautiful crystal lake,
and twenty odd miles from the city OF Hartford.
Do you ask how came hither ! It was on this
wise: took the steamer Globe-a No. l boat and
captan-at P. NJ, and arrived in Hartford at s
A. NJ, distance of l6O miles and after spending
four or five hours IN Hartford, took passage in
Johnsons line OF stages, and the twenty odd miles
was soon gone over His comfortable stages and
excellent teams, remind me OF the cracking stage
rides between Albany and Troy In the winter
months, when 1t is excellent wheeling. In coming
hlther, passed through East Hartford, level,
sandy, and very fertile town. where more water
melons raised than in any county out OF Hartford
county in New England. We next passed through
Manchester, of similar soil, &c. Next came Yer
non, unduatlng and occasionally very hily
town, bat fertile, and manufacturing to great ex-
tent woollens. Stafford comes next. And here we
get into the stonlest part OF New England. The
grass Is propPed up by stones, and even the trees
grow apparently out of solid rocks, with no visible
sign of esrth: You may, think this an overdrawn
picture, but 1t is literally true-aye, even truth
hence may in this mineral, Lake Superior. specu-

seated near one OF the tents apart from "the

There were some one hundred and fifty to two
