An AN GENT RECORD. We have heard gen.
tlemen of the Bar complain before now that
their profession was not always regarded
with its due amount of respect; that tho
miserable penny-a-liners who manufacture
plays and magazine stories and newspaper
tales, are wont to introduce into their mar
ratives, scoundrelly lawyers, depicted from
imagination solely, of course, )who forge wills
and defraud widows and orphans, and set
peaceful neighbors at variance, and whose
Ketchum and Cheatham," &C.. excite
adherence that IN common life, you often
hear upon occasion, (not rare we trust and
believe) such phrases os " he is lawyer, but
really an honest man." &c.,--whereby the
profession is kept in disreputc, There is
doubtless some ground for the complaint,
and has been, it would seem, for some time.
The following enactment Of the General
Court of Connecticut, in May 1929, which is
resuscitated by correspondent of the y, Y
Evening Post, shows that the good people Of
one hundred and thirty years ago, if they re-
garded the legal pro ession with much hon.
age, were at least apprchensiyc lest they
might have too much of IL good thing 1t

Gnr VIEW from MANsrIELp.-Mr Panc-
born, of the Is ,ston Atlas and BE, writes to
that j ,urual from Mt. " ashington, as fol-

| was struck with the contrast between this
and the views have enjoyed from Mansfield,
Camels Hump and Sterling peaks of tho
Green Mountains The view from either of
the latter lie far more beautiful and varied
than from Mt. Washington, but not So full
of GRANDEUR from the latter, the multitude of
the mountains, for hundreds of miles around.
are grouped together, affording prospect,
which, for sublimity cannot be equalled this
side of the Rocky Mountain range, and the
Atlantic, far distant, may he deserted when
the atmosphere is free from mist or smoke;
but from the Green Mountains you have
panorama of mountains, lakes, rivers and
villages, with the whole expanse of the beau
tiful Champlain. was not aware before
that the contrast between two mountain
prospects, where nearly the same features are
included, could be SO great but the reader
can try both, as indeed he should, and then
decide
We have tried both, and if We could see
but one, should choose the view from Mans
field. The view from the :" Chin " in a per
fectly clear morning, Is bounded ON the north
by heights ON the northern bank of the st. !
Lawrence ON the east by the White Noun
tainS on the West by the Adirondacs ON
thesouth, Killington Peak, A,cutncy and the .
southern heights of the Green Mountains are
in tall sight, while the scenery of the Cham
plain valley, and the abundance of water in
the yew make il one Of unsurpassed beauty.
