The disastrous results from writing for

which we find in the Burlington Free

people who this year have zone to the

Mr.. Murray for writing such "a high

not get guides, they cannot get deer, they
cannot get fish. They get nothing but
their journey for their pains. The few
hotels there are i'll that region are over
crowded ; three weeks ago one OF them,
we heard, had refused more than u hun
dred applicants for accommodation, and
another party. last week, spent four DAYS
in their wagon, driving from one house
to another, unable to get Il lodging any
where. The most frcqucnted lakes are
