Do the people appreciate this good
old town in their Summer travelling :?
Let them know that it has something
more than dead responsibility. The
external appearance Of things has
much improved of late years. The
numerous graduates of Middlebury
College, Gan unusually interesting and
influential body Of men, by the way,)
will, doubtless, love to revisit the
scenes of their early training. The
friends Of the college will rejoice in its
present prosperity. Seldom has it
sent forth a larger or better class than
will graduate on the 18th Of August

favorable auspices.

or recreation know that this is one Of
the pleasantest places for them ? Come
into this pure and bracing air. Look
at these bold and beautiful mountains
standing around on query side. and

infinitely sociable. Wander along their
shady streams and you may catch in
Vulnerable trout, the sweetest yon ever
tasted. Climb to the top of the near
20. hill, or ride around it, and you may
survey the whole region. Ride through
this rich and blooming valley, or by
the winding river, from waterfall to
waterfall. Here is natural dam with
power enough for many an enterprising
manufacturer. Yonder is "Belden's
F.lls"-described, l notice, in one of
the last New York Obseyvers-a perpet.

dense grove of evergreens, through a
deep chasm, and with dashing, foa m

more retired and romantic spot. Go
from farm to farm, and you may find
some Of the finest sheep and horses in
the country. Go from family to family
and you may find uncommonly agrees
able and refined society.
In short, this is the place, for those
who are looking to Vermont for per-
fectly healthy and highly cultivated
inland town, with charmingly DIVERSE

ties for literary, social and religious
enjoyment, with the largest liberties
for themselves and their children and

afternoon Of the day when published.
