CALDWELL, LAKE GEORGE,
June Is, 1870.
The birds and flowers, those most beau
tiful adornments of Gods earth, are once
more sending forth their sweet songs and
fragrance, welcoming humanity to these
scenes of peace and loneliness.
The clear waters of the lake ripple
merrily away, mp the pebbly beach, to
greet you; the dense forests send ont
their sombre voice of welcome, as the
breezes rustic through their quiet isles -
the stately oaks bowling in reverent obei-
sance, and the graceful elm bending low
its lofty branches, bidding each and every
caller welcome. The mighty mountains
stand ranged along the horizon, with the
lesser hills hastily skirting the lake, as if
standing in review to the passing pill
grims, or, again, acting as sentinels to
guard against intrusion from the noisy,
bustling, outside world. And the very
air seems clearer as it bears away the hum
of human voices, and the drum" of the
steamers paddlewheels to the dim far
off, returning its echo, which anon re-
turns again, to say good bye forever {;
whilst the cozy little islands seem to
stretch forth their lovely forms, if posi-
BILE to welcome earth's humanity once
more to view their charming features.
LAKE GEORGE,
Or, " Horizon or once again, st. Sacra-
ment," is Justly termed the "Como of
America" a more lovely spot the globe
does not afford. That endless change
ana variety On sUo-vS l-~~e presented, can
be found at no other spot on earth's
wide domain" That happy combination
of mountains, hills, islands, water and
clouds, is nowhere presented with such
telling effect as at Lake George. At every
new scene presents itself,-some new
novelty, some new attraction, which is
sure TO bring tho Obs from the behold
er, in such yolleys Us to awaken the echoes
in the grand old mountains until the ac-
compartment of Obs is quite as good
as band of music, presents itself. For
some years past Lake George has been
constantly increasing in popularity with
pleasure travelers,-those with soul to
love and appreciate the grand and beauti-
ful-until it now stands at the head of
the list of fashionable resorts on the line
of the American summer tour. There is
something about the lake which makes
one enjoy themselves whether they will
or no and with hunting, fishing, boating,
driving, flirting, croquetting, dancing,
circling, and the thousand and one novel
ties, one can but add good long portion
to that little lease of life, and at the same
time enjoy it as it goes along. Lake
George is growing most rapidly, and the
time is not far distant when its shores
will be thronged with beautiful villas,
and palatial summer residences, more
thickly than are the banks of the noble
Hudson at present; already many lead
ing men of Boston, New York, Albany,
Troy, etc, have located and erected splen-
did residences that of Geo. II. Cramer,
ESQ, President of theR & s. r. r., being
perhaps the finest on the lake.
THE sUMMER SEASON
here is now commenced, and "going it"
full blast A most wonderful season it is.
There are nearly one-half more people
here now than there was last season at
this time. AS the throng keeps increas-
ing, what will be the result by the mid
die of July and first of August? Fate
only knows, and she won't tell a word
about it,
THE FORT WILLIAM HENRY HOTEL,
that model of summer resort hotels, is in
full operation, catering to the wants of a.
big host of guests. The Roessles know
just how to keep a good house and keep
the company always in high state of en-
ioymert, sparkling with excitement like
a case of "Moet's vintage" and always
ready for one more round of fun. Level
heads have Roessles, say everybody who
stop once at their home-like hotel. Sue
cess is bound to attend their efforts, so
long as the present standard of the Fort
William Henry at Lake George, and the
Arlington at Washington, d. c., is kept
up. The influx of people to this point
this season will far surpass that of any
previous year, and the Fort William
Henry, though colossal institution will
be taxed to its greatest capacity.
CALDWELL
is admitted to be the most fashionable
point of pleasure travel, and whoever
passes within one hundred miles of Lake
George and does not pay it visit, looses
one of the most exquisite and pleasing
sights in the world.
THE WEATHER
is just charming and could not be more
favorable to the wants of pleasure tour
lists. Yours, &c,
CLAYTON.
