Soon as he was observed by the persons below, his
dangerous situation became the source of a most
intense excitement. After climbing on top of the

but staggering back, he continued his peTilous walk

marks made by Arson Burlingame, Esq, of Boston.
At the meeting in that city for the appointment of
delegates to the harbor and river convention-giv-

west =
"a few years since, in birchen canoe, | was
padded all along the shores OF Wisconsinfrom Chi
cago to Green Bay, a distance of several hundred
miles, seeing scarcely white man. Last year it
was my good fortune to go along the same shore
and over the same waters, and passed the large
towns OF Southport and Racine and Sheboygan. and
when far of on the waters OF Lake Michigan, / be-
held the city of Milwaukee looking like sea syb-
il with It's tiara OF proud towers. But | cannot
describe the change that has taken place on the

steamers and in seventy-two hours the keel of the
noble vessel shall scraPe the golden sand of Hi

eye will have gazed upon the soil OF five of the
states of this Union, as well as upon the posses

In 1918 appeared the first steamboat upon the
lakes there more than 100 of the largest
class, and the Griffin of 70 tons, launched by the
daring LaSale, in 1869, has multiplied until now
the lakes are white with ais, and literally muir
the lakes at this time, may lie sadly estimated
worth $50 millions of dollars per annum requiring
the constant employment of over three thousand
sailors as brave as ever dWet on the ocean, and
who would be as efficient if summoned to the
gun deck. The cities of Detroit and Buffalo have
more tons of shipping afioat than owned in the
four plun ing states of North and South Carolina
Georgia and Alabama, and these are but two o.! the
seven cities along the lakes. 1t is estimated that
there are on the western waters over eight hun
bred and fifty steamboats,, and that 1910 persons
are engaged in navigation. These are some of the
random statistics that occur to me- but we must
remember that the statistics OF Al will not serve

largest aad most substantial structures in the Ter

all erected as we understood, by the untiIing en-

The village itself is built on gentle slope-the
water IN the river is clear, as crystal with a rapid
current and fortunately many of the forest tree,
are left standing, and with the shrubbery growing
under the thrifty attention of its people; Burlington
presents picture Of one of the brightest looking
village, to be found in any country. Though it is
not so large, it as pretty as its well known beau

The country around Burlington, constituting a
part OF valley of Fox River, can scarcely be exag

from Burlington to Rochester anj Waterford, there
is that varied succession of hill and dell-now a
gentle slope and here picturesque ravinewith the
dark green foliage of the gnarled oaks the tall grass

which forms that perfect picture of rural beauty
