port presented him with a purse con-
tanning $3.50. Forty seven dollars of
this fund was contributed by visitors

over in Jay. Mrs. Eunice Hunt, aged
70 years, went to the top of Jay Peak
on Wednesday of last walking
all the way from the Log House, a
mile and half
JAY.-We have been on our trav-
els again. On Saturday last we made
a visit to the town of Jay and TO its
aerial promontory, which we believe is
the second highest in Vermont. We
had never previously visited the town
and were agreeably surprised at the
general appearance of the country.
From what we had heard we had
been led to believe that it was very
rough and broken and a hard soil to
till. We confess our mistake. We
saw as fine soil as any town in the
county can boast of, and as nicely cul.
tivated farms; it will one day take a
front rank in agricultural Importance
In the afternoon we assembled the
mountain, which is done with all ease
, From the Log House kept by Mr.. Fl
Baker it is a mile and half to the
; summit, over a fair wagon road fol
half the distance and a good path fol
= the remainder. Arrived at the top 6
