BURLINGTON, Vt, Monday, July IL, 1870
For few days | have "pitcied my tent
with regular, genuine and thorough New-Eng-
land farmer To be a little more definite as to
nv locality, | an three miles south-esst Of Bur-
incton, on the shore Of the Shelburne Bay.
Over in the west rise the high peaks Of the
Adirondack range, assuming in the twilight all
manner of strange conhgurations. Then the :
blue waters of Lake Champain are in the in
mediate foreground, and in the east the Green
Mountains, Vermont's back bone, with the lofty
heights Of Mount Mansfield and Camel's Hump
standing like grim sentinels in the northeast
and southeast. The scenery is exceedingly love
", though destitute Of the grandeur which a
wilder region might impsrt. The name of"mine
host is Drew, though | mention the name in
confidence, as he might not wish it made public.
His history is ike that Of many others, and
shows what prudence. thrift, shrewdness, and
love of real estate will do for some men. The
owner Of the three -hrndred-acre farm where
am staying began life for himself with York
shilling for his capital. The first twenty-five
dol'lrs he earned wer2 put into a quarter-acre
lot. I'd almost all his earnings were similarly
iuy .el in real estate. For tWeuty-one years,
Mr.. Drew kept a hotel, and is well known to
many travellers Meantime his investments had
proved profitable, and four or five years ago he
took to farming, and owns now one Of the finest
farms and handsomest houses in the State. He
always O. led on the principle Of getting the best
Of everything his horses called EttIn -4iie+,
DcHiel Lambert or Columbus sire his cattle
are pure syreshire his sheep meriuos. Twenty

Of the value Of his stock
The trip on the lake, from " hitehall here. Is
a thoroughly enjoyable one. The boats are large
and comfortable, and many Of the stopping pla-
ces, such as Ticonleroga and Crown Point iu-
vested with historic interest.
