Among the items in the Journal
notice illusions to several Of the hotels
Of the State ~ desirable places for
those who seek the country during the
Summer months. | wish to add to the
list our hotel kept by Mr.. Joshua Boynton
proprietor. The house has an enviabe
reputation. 1t has been life long work
with MIR. Boynton to entertain guests,
and no man who has once enjoyed seat
at his his table bat desires 10 occupy it
again. The scenery about Orwell is de-
lightful; on the West is Lake Champlain
and in the distance rises the eerrated
range Of the Adircndacs, while on the
East is the Green Mountain range. Many
of the hills overlook the Champlain val
ley, revealing landscape extended and
beautiful in eyey direction An easy drive
from Mr.. Boynton's takes the amateur to
Mount Independence, on the lake, where
are still found many relics of the Reyolu-
ton, and where may still be seen the for
tiGcations of the American army in the
days of the revolutionary fathers. just
across from the Mount, ON the York State
side, are the ruins Of Fort Ticonderoga,
and little further on, the battle field
where Abercrombie was defeated by the
French and Indians. A few miles drive
in another direction brings you TO Blair's
bay on Lake George, a beautiful expanse
of water nestled among the hills, and
guarded day and night by Black Noun
tain, Rogers Slide a1d St. Anthony'G
Nose. Here the painter loves TO come in
July and sit with brush and easel until
mountain, lake and sky are put upon the
canvass to be carried away at will. But
enough of scenery.
The boats are running regularly on
Champlain and business begins to wear
the aspect of Spring. We expect nature

from men and put on her spring attire
Already she has taken in her breath ant
soon will exhalc it in sweetest fragrance
from ten thousand blossoms of tree anC
plant in forest aud garden all through the
town.
