KEEsLvILLE N. Y. Thursday, July is.
DEAR SIR am aware that few persons are
acquainted with the natural resources Of this sec
ton Of our great Sta Q. Few have ever dreamed
Of the unparalleled beauty that slumbes among
our rocks and our hills. Among all of those per.
sons In your great city who every season make
some fashionable watering place their resort for
pleasure, perhaps not Atty have ever imagined tina.
there il more real beauty in few miles in length
Of our own Aussble River than in a hundred such
places a. Newport aud Nshant.
The particular place in this section to which
would draw your attention, is what, among Us
bears the name Of Adsatis Falls and the stupen.
dous cbasm below viii not attempt, in my de.
acrpton, to do it justice, for 10 would battle the
vivid imae inatoD OF the most creative genius. A
Cole could paint 10, bat be, at the time, with
all his skill, land that OF no ordinary kind would
have failed IN giving true picture.
We will commence with the fall little below
the bridge, where the river leaps from hight of
near seventy ieet into a chasm below, formed by
perpendicular walls on either aide that rise 70 the
hisht OF hundred feet, and stretch away q mile
dow the river, with here geatle graceful curve,
and there sharp aIgle with a new view at every
turn, entirely unlike the one jost presented, aud
which almost makes the vsiter particularly if he
be strapgerl believe himself instantly transported
a. if by magic, " some other scene miles away.
Nothing can DO more novel aud pleasing than
visit here. In ole place you see the ragged rock
rising high above you, presenting the exact ap-
psarsnce of a ruined fort, or some old castle wall
with turf eta and bsttlements gone; In another
smooth faced ali complete as just from the hand
of the mason and all this change wthn five PAGES.
Go few steps further then look again far below
you lies the smooth waters OF the river rejecting
the light softened by the narrow space between
the walls till it strikes the eye mellow as the twi
light Of a pleasant summer evening.
Five rods from this you aee the water all In q
fosm spgriy flashing It's prison walls il impatient
Of confinement and eager for release.
Gould you only persuade some of your city friends
70 come here and fHstfcae few weeks and revel
In the natural beauty Of the Ausable Valley; climb
our bills, aud roam in our green he ds wander by
bright sunshine along the banks Of our own loved
river; breathe the he-givlDg airthat rises from the
foot OF the steps where we II. st descend into the
cbasm, would pledge my word they would never
go back dissatisfied.
We are proud OF our scenery, but we are not SCI
.fsk. We do not wish to enjoy it alone. We wish
our neishbors OF the largest city in the New World
to share In the pleasure and delight attendant
visit here. None have ever gone away dissppoint
ed. II the psss OF the Potomac is worth journey
across the Atlantic the pass Of the Ausabe is
worth journey around the world
This section Of the State affords ample food for
the naturalist, the scientific man, the artist and
these travelling for pleasure. 10 fact every one can
find employ ment here.
In order 10 have our natural scenery appreciated
40 1t deserves, IL must be made known; and IN
making 1t known, regret much that il has not
fallen into ADLER hands than mine.
Send US an artist by al means if there Is one in
New York. pledge my word and hooor, as man
who has visited the High Bridge hundred times,
that portrsyer q nature and the works Of na.
tore, VIII not go awsy disappointed. / care not
Row ssneuine bis expectations, they will be more
than realized The great difficulty would be for
one TO decide whicA Of the handred and enc views
TAU OF them unparalleled and unequalled in this
country would be most deserving bis attention. |
say sgaln, send US an artist l regret much the
death OF the immortGl Cole Could he have seen
this sigbt would he have le II TO waste il. sweet
ness on the desert sirl" No sir; never. His was
