Of our return trip down the st. Johns,
I need not speak, as there was nothing
neculiar about it. Yet there was one
portion of the river, that between PLAT
ka and Lake George, which when we
went up was traversed chiefly before day
light, SO that we did not see it. We came
down through that part in the afternoon,
and all of the passengers were struck
with the great beauty of the scenery.
The river is wide and less crooked than
the upper portions of it, though yet con-
siderably irregular in its course and
ings between islands, and the contour OF
the banks and the different shades OF
color in the trees gave variety and grace
to the scene, which one would hardly
suppose possible, when the skyline of the
tree tops for many miles in length was at
so uniform a height above the river. If
less strange and wild and exciting than
the scenery above, all agreed that 1t was
far more beautiful. G. w. b.
NOT THE MAN.-We are requested to
say that the John Magyar, who was fined
on Tuesday last for drunkenness, Is not
the John Magen who is dealer in finished
marble at West Rutland. John Magen
claims to be respectable man, who does
not get drunk, and that only when there
is two GAS" in the Magyar, can the name
of John Magyar be found upon the calen-
dar of any court in this town, as guilty
of drunkenness. John Magen looks too
much of a man to have ever been drunk,
and We are gratified to announce that he
is not the man who was before the court
last Tuesday.
