fishing excursion and for the purpose Of sippmg
the waters of the Sulphur Spring, whose virtues
said to surpass those Of the Virginia mountains.
Lake Souasset-o or Lake of the Woods, as it was
called by the Indians, Is four miles from Saratoga
nine miles in length, three-anda-half In width and
varying from ten TO one hundred feet in depth. On
It's banks the farest water lilies grow in wild luxu-
rance filling the soft air with sweetest perfume and
inrox eating the senses with delight. Within its bo-
som the finest striped bass, perch and pckere tempt
the gouniand and the angler TO leave the dull mono-
tony of Saratoga for days sport and good din
ner at the old log cabin inhabited by a hosptable
farmer near the Sulphur Spring Within its forests
all descriptions of game may be found, and on its
wild shores the poet may mediate In peace. Lake
Sonasset is destined to become the abode offashion
wealth and beauty. The magnificent palace about
to be erected its borders will draw the ette and
