MANSFIELD MOUNTAIN.
nv H. Doros.

This mountain has long been regarded a.
the ealmipsting point Of that part of the
gttst Appalachian Mountain System known
- TIE Green Mountains Of Vermont. and is
ths highest land in the State, being about
TO feet higher than Killington Peake, in
shcrburne, and more than 800 feet higher
Than Csmefs Hump in Huntington.
am not aware that any attempt was made
90 determine the heights Of these mountains
BY accurate scientific measurements with
proper INSTRUMENTS previous to the year
1890; soon after which. Capt. Alden Part
ridge. who at that time had the sur erintend-
snce Of fourishing scientific and military
scsdemy at Nor~icn, VT, made batometrical
measurements of many Of the mountain peass
In this and other states. Since these meas
uremenis we're made by Capt. Partridge, re-
peated efforts have been made TO determine
their heights barOmetrically and by o'her
methods, and in most cases with but slightly
varying results. Bnt in the measurements Of
Mansfield. these variations have been some
what greater. In the summer OF 1868, the
writer of this article made measurement Of
Khiington Peske and of some other points,
with very gratifying results, by carrying up
series Of levels IRON previously determined
bases. and having communicated the results
Of these measurements to Prof. A. Guyot Of
Princeton College. n. j., who has for some
time been engaged in determining the physi-
cal character and features Of the Appalachian
Mountain System Of North America, he sug-
gasted that Mansfield claimed our atten-
ton" In accordance with this suggestion,
about the middle Of August last We com
menced series OF levels at Waterbury rail-
road station, aud continued it along the line
OF the old plank road through Waterbury
centre aud Stowe lower village to stowe
then following the direction OF the west .uik
OF Waterbury river TO the West Branch VII
lage and Teubey's Mill al the foot Of the
moubtslu, thea up the .stery slope to the
halfway house, summit-hOuse, DC, TO the
summit Ut the chin,' which is tue highest
of she Mansfield group, and the eliminating
point in The Green Mountain range.
The height Of The top Of the sleepers of
the raiiro track at Waterbury station above
the ocean has been Determined by the several
railroad surveys, and was given by Prof.. Zt-
dock thompson, wac bad the best access to-
all the reliable sources OF intOima'ion Ieces-
safS for determining It's ieisht, and WAS him
point WIS also taken Ne the base of ,hs bar
ometsr measurement of Mansfield made By
Prof. Guyot In 1857.
The height VI tue mountain above tide
water, aud also the heights Of all the impor-
1ant points taken On the route, are gwen 10
the following table, all based upon the height
OF .he top OF The sleepers OF the railroad

iabled monsters of antiquity. faithfully CHS
led by the hand OF time, standing out in
bold and classic grandeur. Passing towards
he Chin, the road for short distance, is cut
through dense mass Of rtunted frs, beyond
which It rises over slight elevation Of
smooth talcose aocks, rising in gentle dome
like form, northwestetly ofthe summit use.
Amer descending short distance towards
the north, the path extends along the mooth
and beautifully rounded surface Of tie ridge,
on the eastefly side Of which dense thicket
OF dwaify frs scarce Ave feet high, apparent
" the growth Of former age, yet remains
On his ridge the peat beds are found which
are described in the second volume If the
Geology of Vermont" and also the rocks
and drft-scfatches shown IN the cut On the
seth page Of said work. From this beau
titul ridge, you pass in a northeastefl, dtrec-
ton over broken masses of rucks till you be-
gin to ascend he smoother surface of the
Chin, which rises more and more abruptly
til YOU reach spur of the mountain that
extends westerly Of the main ridge; and for
~ or fifty rods norlheasterly OF this, rises in
solitary grandeur, the highest point OF land
in Vermont, the eliminating peak Of the
Green Mountain range. From this poin, the
view, extending as it does in every dir, elton
fer the distance Of sixty or seventy miles, and
embracing within It's circuit portion of
country OF such varied and picturesque ace ne
ry, can but be one of surprising sublimity,
beauty aud grandeur. No place perhaps in
New England furnishes more interesting
variety Of objects TO attract the attention OF
all classes, than can be iouud among the
mountain peaks ard ranges in Vermont es-
peoialy IN tie vicinity OF Mansfield And
here thousands from the principal cities and
towns IN the northern states, resort AZ res
pite from the business aud cares Of city life,
to speud portion Of the summer months in
seeing Nature az it is, and enjoying the
heulhful and inylgoretiug influence Of the
mountain atmosphere. Here the agficultur-
1T wil fod what To- him is Attractive and
beautiful, 40 the smiling fields, and the rich
and veidant meadows along "the valleys that
run among the hi Is" Here, too, the bota
mist will find an ample field for exercise in his
fayOrite pursuit, Ia the multitude Of fowet-
ing plants IN lhe valleys. and 10 the myriads
OF mcsses found on TIE mountains. The ge
