COL, FREMONT AMONG TIE GREEN
MOUNTAINS.


BURLINGTON, VT, Oct ~, 1850
The weather IN this region has been fine for
fortnight and our farmers have been busy IN haf
yesting their crops. The crop of corn hereSocu,e
is good, and large quantity has been raised, muen

The political world here is very quiet, tor We
are pretty much all on one SIDE, and thai sde y

Some Of our villagers had the pleasure OF taxing
CO. Fremont by the hand. few days ago. DE
passed through here on hs way from Montreal, IN
tending not to be recognized: bu. some 0i our
sharp-eyed VermOnters sped him out and greeted
him heartily His stay was but a short time Ohe
lady good Judge in such matters, remarked tnat
il was wonder that such sharp black eyes as 'ne
COlOnes Won the accomplished Jessie. IL Is saiu
that James Brooks Of The Express sat al the
breakfast table with the Colonel az Rouse's Point,
which little incident excited considerable curiosity
among the guests at the Station House. One Old
Vermonter, who happened to be present, wondered
if Brooks saw Fremont cross himself before he
partook Of bis morning meal. At any rate, De
continued 4" Brooks will probably publish II as
fact in The Express. for that would not be more
malignant lie than hundreds OF others that nave
found their way into the same paper.
Our village is somewhat excl ed and Rot a little
pleased with the prospect of having some OF the
milionaiTes of New-lork residents here next
season. De Forest, Cannon and others, have re-
Gently purchased some very fine lots on the MI
south Of the College grounds, where they intend 70
erect some beautiful houses for summer use. lhey
intend to rival in beauty and splendor, the man
sions which stand on the banks OF the Hudson
River In selecting such lots these wealthy gentle
men have manifested sound Judgment and re-
fined taste: for there are but few spots IN this or
any other country where the water prospects and
mountain scenery rival those which are seen from
the high ground back and south of our village
The land too. is good, and water easily had. II Is
a splendid location for palaces, pleasure-grounds
and gardens No doubt, ID. ID. Howard, of Irving
House memory, has had something TO do with this
movement. Living in splendid mansion himself
be- desires that others shall follow his example and
make Burlington one Of the most beautiful towns
on the continent, and a place where the rlch and
the fortunate can live and enjoy otiam cum digHRdte
Let them come build their palaces, lay out their
peasure-erounds, cultivate their gardens, and
adorn our highlands, which overlook our beautiful
lake and command such splendid prospects, and
the people will say amen.
