Saratoga Springs, 162 miles from New Yosk city,
has 'org been The most fashionable American wafer
ing place. II is pretty village, with about 1000
inbsbissnts and a great many hotels, where,
o. general ihipg, ore can't get anything 70
eat without feeling . set of rapacious servants.
The chief spring, the Congress, was disco.
vered IN 1902, but was probably known to the
indians long bsfote that time. The msdi.
ciDsl virtues OF Tho water In many sc,rbatic dis
eases u well known. From an analysis, is appears
that gallon of the water contains the sollo wing
subetancss:-Comnon sat, 1856 grains; hydriodate
Of soda, 81 grams; bicsrbonase of s,da. grains;
carbonate OF line, SO grsin'; hicarbonae Of mag.
nesis, 90 grains; ca Donate Of iron grains; Slick
u grain; caxb0nc acid ass, 3ll cubic inches; at
mospheEic air, do. II is not uncommon for per
sons fond Of the water to drink halt gallon before
breakfast, and it lie certainly q pleasant way Of
taking powerful medicines. Over this spring the
proprietor has built pavilion, to which hundreds
Of people resort every summer morning. Among
the hotels Congress Hall seems to be the favorite
this year, having been recently rejuvsnated and
opened under new proprietors. It Is the nearest
house to the Congress spring.
There are many pleasant drives sbou. Saratoga
of In Eop oIn aho
the Springs, ia the best. The patriotic traveller
will extend his drive eight miles farther, 70 Bemus,
Heights, whore the ever memorable battles of Sep.
TENDER and October, in l777, ware fought. Yon are
shown the hcuss where Gen. Frazer died, and the
room where the gallant British general bresthed
his last remains undisturbea. Also the spot where
the actual surrender Of Burgoyns's army to the
American forces, under General Gates, took place.
Lake George la q miles from Saratoga village,
and is great resort for pleasure seekers who are
tired Ct the Springs. The lake is full of beautiful
islAlds, and Is noted for the Transparency Of It's
waters. On Its shores the traveller may also sec
Fort Ticonderoga, celebrated In our revolutionary
snras. You may pass through the subterranean
passage where COL Ethan Allen roarsd out his order
for the fort to surfen DER Tin the name OF tie Great
Jehovah, and the Continental Congress-" The ho-
tells at Lake George are very good, it is said.
We have already pointed out two routes to Mia
CARA Falls one BY boat from Gswego; the other by
the Erie and Emirs and Niagara Falls railroad. The
railroad route by the New York Central road IL, We
think, the quickest. You may lsave New York, By
Hudson River Railroad, at Fix o'clock in the morn
ing, dine at Syracuse, And reach the Falls in the
evening. fhe road passes through the centre Of
the State, and ia formed by the consolidation of the
Albany and Schenectady, Utica and Schenectady,
Syracuse and Utica, Rochester and Syracuse, and
Buffalo and Rochester railroads. The Central IL fat
and pretty well managed road doing an immense way
business. We think the Erie has more through pas.
sengeIs BY taking North river steamboat from
tins city ono can 90 to Niagara for about seven dol
Iars--cheap enough for four han fred and City mes
So much has been said about Niagara that it is
hardly worth while to repeat it. The traveller.
however will rot leave the place without visit to
the suspension bridge, which Is almost as great .
triumph Of art as the Falls are Of nature.
From Niagara it is q pleasant trip across Lake
Ontario to Canada, and back through Vermont.
Visitors to Sharon Springs will take the boat or
cars 70 Albany, and then 60 By Central railroad
fifty five miles to Psistine Bridge station. The
SDaTon springs Whtcr AsHis1y mouiCiuai, 01o Cou

dicated water north OF Mason Dixon's line.
Sharon ia Q sort Of conservative watering place,
rather more quiet than Saratoga
An the way fares on tho Central railroad are ct
the rate Of two csnts per mile.
The CAltekill or Ksaters KIN mountains on tho
Hudson, may be reached by the river steamboats,
