! Falls, where there probably is some
or the finest scenery on the Cont
nent. The Cnyahora-or West Can
ada Greek, as it is more generally
known-here tears through a gorge
made by It's waters, leaving a solid
wall of perpendicular rock on either
side, from one to three hundred feet
in height, in many places ovcrgrown
with Wild Shrnbbery and huge trees,
whose moss grown forms seemed sus-
pended ia Yacaity, ready to be precip-
lrated INTO tne abyss below These
falls will richly repay the tourist a
weeks soiourn at Trenton.
We visited Old Historic Boston
old PurltanIc Boston-rich with Rev
"lutionary remiscences. The mod
ern Athens--embracing probably
more literary ability and seE.concet
to 01Gtch: than any other city i'll the
.oId Union. We like Boston-we Ike
It's peculiarlties-its staid puritanic
society. We like its loyalty, Copper
III Boston is an Gnmarkctable commod-
ity. Old Bunker Hill with its hailow-
ed recollections, is too near the me-
tropolis Of New England to give trea-
SOL a tootholl in Boston. We like
the environs Of old Boston-its score
OF thriving villages anil cities-rich
with yankee enterprise, and burning
with unal.oyea patriotism. We don't
like its crooked streets. Usuulyy So
Ter, we fear we should never become
accustomed to them. It's Geyious
ac0ys are past finding out. We visit
ed the great Organ n Music Hall,
bat can convey no Just idea Of its
poWe" and magnifconra. 1t must be
seen to bo appreciated and under,
stood. y" article by Holmes in tie
1tlmttic ~EathLy, entitled "7He
Cr%s45 AtSj,'uu.@at, gives to the TN
d"r>1andlHg as correct an idea of this
greA; triumph IF art, as letters can
convey. We visited the CharIestown
Navy Yard, where are employed over
four thousand men, in its various de-
tartmcnts 6. ~a,,log, ship archltec-
ture, &c. " visited old bunker
Hill; where, ei@hty-nine years ago
was fought the first engagement of the |
Revolution. The osd entertainments
are yet visible. The spot where War
ren fell is marked by square granite
block, bearing this lrscription-"Here
fell Warren. June 18th, l775.' We
asceuled the monument which is two
hundred and thirty-three feet high, |
and whose summit is reached by Spi-
raj stairway oftvo hundred and nine
ty-five steps. For the benefit of Cop
perheads We wish to state that the |
prophecy of Toombs, that he would
<fcuU tie roll Of his s1ares meath tie
granite shaft Of Bunker HiU,"-has
never been fulfilled; the Cnarlestoni-
ans not yet having designated the day
for the prostitution of this historic |
spot.
Chelsea Beach, famous resort for
city people during the heat of the
summer, we visited III company with |
levi Town, Esq, of Chelsea, who !
showed us around in the most approv
- styte. The Ocean House, one of
the finest in tne East, was visited on
the Goth of June, by twenty y-seven
Bunker Hill NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of
Char.estown-whose names occupy a |
conspicuous place in the Register
Their united ages numbered 2016 |
years. Nary copper in the crowd.
We visited Lynn, whose coat of
arms is . daDase5's gatter. We saw |
there enough shoes to last our wife
several million of years. We were
that more accre being manu-
facturel.
II company with Abner Benyon,
Esq, the efficient and gentlemanly !
Cashier of the Exchange Bank OF
Boston," we visited Brighton, the |
great Cattle Market of New England; |
a spot known to every school boy
through the medium + old 'Pcter
Parlcy." Brighton IS one Of the pleas !
ant towns about Boston, a quiet re-
sort from the bnStle Of city life, and /.
of easy access by steam and horse
ears. We visited other locations OF
interest, bat have not the space or
time to give inci tents or descriptions
to our readers. Returning ria. Batfa-
10 am Granl Trunk r. r., We arrived
home IL good shape, rested and feel
