L.
Thursday Night, June 80, 1870.
A wild night is this to spend above the clouds
in darkness and tempest. Bright and beauti-
full was the morning that lured us from the
Crawford, but before our five hours climbing
ended the storm overlook us, which is now
roaring about us as I write. Our party Of six
left the courteous custody of Mr.. Walcott at
$50 a. M, furnished by him with six horses
and two French guides, Victor Patmaude and
brother, to whose attentions we are glad to
bear witness. This, our fifth ascent, was de-
aged by various circumstances, and the carriage
for the Glen had gone before we reached the
summit. The views enjoyed, however, repaid
us for all the fatigue and delay, and Mr.. Geo.
Thorn, the clerk of the Tip.Top, has made us
comfortable in this his rude mountain refuge.
SUNRISE ON MT. WASHINGTON.
Friday, July 1. At 3 o'clock this morning
looked out of the sky-light of my little attic
and saw narrow rift in the sullen sky which
promised fair weather. The rain had ceased
and there was scarcely breath of air moving.
At $50 went outside. The eastern belt of
light was lengthening northward and pushing
southwark its ''plow of pearl, as Tennyson
phrases it. The retreating clouds moved off
like sceptered ghosts while on the field of their
defeat rose as it were throne of ivory, with
eircling steps of pearl on pavement of orange
colored light. The upper clouds broke into
fragments as daylight increased, forming pur-
pie islands in sea of pure white light. In
this the sun appeared at 42O, dazzling orb of
fire. imparting an intensity OF color to the cloud
painting which cannot describe. The tops of
the mountains had been clear and sharp for an
hour, the lake of the clouds and what appear
ed to be the Androscoggin, but pearly haze
covered the vallies. Turning to the West, the
fog arranged itself in straight lines across
plain and seemed like the smoke of battle
where infantry and artillerywheeled up in order
and fred Not sound was heard save dis
tant roar as of rising wind in the forest below.
At $50 our party took the carriage which
Mr.. Hitchcock provided, and had short and
delightful ride to the ever welcome Alpine
House, where we now are. Of an excursion
to the charming Alpine Cascades and Berlin
Falls, six miles distant; of the visit of Prince
Arthur, now here, and other local items, time
and space forbid mention. The coming season
doubtless will witness a large travel mountain
ward, and we recommend to our Portland
friends an early trip via G. 7. r. R., in care of
Conductor GOold, to the hill country, which at
GOrham opens its att active portals to the weary
denizens of the city. CASCo.

free of Government tax, and are issued for tho
very small amount of $4,000 per mile. For
the present, the unsold portion are offered at
95 and accrued interest. The attention of in
vestors is invited to the fact that the road is
