The JorRSL is doing a good work in

IuE W1oHAN0CK VALLEY,
More commonly known as New Lebs-
uou Valley. has been culogiyed to such
an extent that words have been exhaust.
cd. H., scenery, OF wondcrous beauty,
has been described and extslled by many
ADLER with the pen than /, the story OF its
heaithfulness has been told by those who
come to seek that blessed boon, and all
that / could say Of il historically would
be q useless repetition. But | cannot re-
frain from q few words touching its love-
illness at al seasons OF She year. Not
ouly, when the glory Of the Summer
month. rests upon the valley does it gain
the admiration Of the beholder, bat at
any time the words OF Bancroft are true
if not elegant, New Lebanon is the most
beautiful spot on top of the EARTH /
wander forth in spring time, the forests
wear cheerful aspect, the iiclds are
green and the flowers, awakened to new
life by the geniel sun, spring up, the
ploughman il cuItiyating the hills to their
very tops, and the air is sweet with per-
tume waited on the breezes, the merry
songsters have left their southern home
aud its blue skies, and are now warbling
their notes to us, the Wyomauock Greek
rolls peacefully on in its pebbly bed to-
wards the Kin derhook, and quiet re-
pose rests over the scene. Again wan
der forth in Autumn, to the forest robed
in its gorgeous mantle of scarlet and
gold, and as | look down the valley teem-
ing with life, upon the farmhouse and the
cottage, as ! see the fields of waving grain
and tassled corn, the trees bending under
their weight of fruits, as my eye wanders
to the blue hills, beautiful in their Au-
tnmn dress, / doubt if Switzerland af-
fords a finer view. Even, when locked
in the arms of Winter, which binds the
waters Of the Wyomanock with icy fet-
tiers, aud covers the mountains with a
robe of white, it loses not its beauty. BE
it at early morn or when the King of Day
Is sinking behind the Catskills, IL il a
sight worthy of praise. Nature has done
her work noby here; and though the
work Of improvement is progressing rap
idly throughout the valley and we are glad
to see tart cannot surpass nature, in
beautifying the Wyomanock Valley.
