Late III the afternoon of Tuesday we re-
paired to the Railroad to take land car
upon which wewere to proceed to DIR Kent's,
four miles distant, to spend the night -.
While our party were preparing for the
descent by hand car to Dr. Kent's, hree of
us walked on through the big Tunnel, to a
place where stood shantie on high bank,

enjoyed the dialogue wonderfully, showed in

We proceeded down the grade at rapid
and delightful speed, to DIR. Kent's, whose
house we found to be the beautiful dwelling
nestled in the mountains, which we saw and
admired in our upward trip. Here we reali-
zed those comforts indicated by the external
beauties and taste Of the locality, enhanced
by the gentleness and grace which adorn and
preside over this charming retreat There
was passed our last night from home, in a
journey all of whose recollections are de-
lightful, and the "reminiscences of whose con
