/ The pleasant village Of Manchester,
now become so celebrated as a place OF
resort during the summer, was chartered
In l56l, In the times of the Revolution,
the Committee Of Safety Of Vermont as.
sembled here; and Il was ia Mauchc, tel
that General Stark, with eight hundred
men, joined the Vermont troops before the
battle Of Bennington
/ Manchester is delightfully."- situated 10 Q
valley between two ranges Of mountains
the Green Mountains on the east and
Equinox on the west. Mount Equinox,
whose base Il Immediately ia the rear OF
The Equinox House, is 3,sl3 feet above
tidewater, aud 2,9l7 feet above The
Equinox House; it Is the highest noun
tain Of the Equinox range.
I The village itself presents one remark
able feature, which never fails TO attract
the eye of the strauger,-the principal
street being paved on both sides with
slabs Of white marble, procured from the
neighboring quarries, which, with the
beautiful shade-trees render il the most
delightful promenade conceivable. On
the main street are situated the Battenkill
National Bank, Congregational Church,
Court House, Vanderlips Hotel, and the
Elan House. Here also, centrally loca-
ted, is The Equinox House, in the inn
mediate vicinity of which are the Tele-
graph and Post Offices. On the Semin-
airy Avenue is situated the Episcopal
Church, and at the head Of the Avenue
the Burr aud Burton Seminary.
Connected with The Equinox House is
the new Music Hall, for Concerts, Private
Theatricals, Tableaux, Dancing, &c.
In the neighborhood of the village,
numerous walks aud drives OF ofsurpassing
beauty may be enjoyed. The roads are
excellent and pedestrians viii find no diff
ficulty in ascending the loftiest of the
mountains, or in travelling through the
wild and picturesque gens and holows
with which they abound.
The first object Of interest to which we
would direct attention is
MOUNT EQUINOX,
From whose LOFTY summit may be com
manded an extensive and magnificent
prospect. To the southeast are Graylock
and Stratton Mountains. On the east are
the Grand Monadnock aud Ascutney
Peak, and on the northeast tho magniti-
cent peaks of Killington and Shrews-
bury, whilst in the far distance may be
seen the SUBMITS of Kearsarge and the
Franconia Mountains. To the southwest,
in full view, rise the graceful Catskils,
and along the western horizon stretch the
Sacanadaga and KayaderOsseras hills.
Besides these, many other lofty peaks arc
visible, also Mt. Anthony and the Obser-
vatory. On bright days, Lakes George
and Champaiu may be seen TO the north
west aud the village Of Saratoga also dis
cerucd.
On the summit of the mountain house
las been built by the proprietor of The
Equinox House, and aroad to il construo-
ted. We give view Of the Summit
House in our engravings.
On the southeast side OF Mount Equi-
nox, aud about half way mp ii, Is
TABLE ROCK.

with us. Cousin Alice was passing tho
vacation with rs There va, uuta years
difference 10 our ages, and we had been
schoolmnte, fiom carly childhood, aud |
believe sisters seldom loved each other as
we did.
That afternoon Aunt Esther had start
ed on. on a visit to Farmer Pixies the
rich Old widowcr, whose great yellow
brown house stood on the turnpike half
a mile from our house.
Farmer Pike was a strange, hard man,
YOU would have seen this with a glance
at his rong, rugged features, bis iron
gray hair, and his large muscular person
that had not bowed itself with three score
years.
lie lived with his housekeeper and his
hired men, IN the great yellow brown
house, an honest, industrious man, but
without a single affection or sympathy,
with a life as cold, and stark aud barren
as desert over whose bosom no run
ming spring winds is ieweled necklace,
in whose dry, dead heart 40 sweet flower
opens its soft lips TO the sunshine
Yet Farmer Pixies life had its tragedy;
SO believe all lives have, if we oonld
only unlock the hidden cabinets, where
they are laid away from every eye but
Gods.
Many years ago Farmer Pike had mar
ried woman much younger than him-
self. A woman with one Of those gentle,
shrinking, mimosa natures that seemed to
have a few points of interest with coarse,
ragged character.
However, believe they cot on well to-
gcther, aud It's probable the tremulous
wife called out whatsoever Of tenderness
there was in the coarser soul of her hus-
band. At last a son was born to them,
and the delicate mother fell into adccline
and before her boys life had covered its
third year, the grass had laid its green
covering over the mothers head
Mrs. Pike and Aunt Esther were school
mates and had always been firm friends;
so the farmer placed Joseph under her
care, and he continued to reside with her
until at my mothers death which occurred
several years later, when my aunt came
to us,and the boy went home to his father.
Joseph was warm hearted but terrible
sell-willed child. My aunt had more in
1uence over him than any other person
living, for she loved him almost as if he

4 New Invention.

Anew fire escape was tested on Sat
urday, at the Continental Hotel, Phila-
delphia, when a man lowered himself
from the sixth story window on the
Ninth street front to the pavement,
regulating the speed of his own de-
scent, and stopping two or three times
in front of windows on the different
stories. The apparatus used is known
as the Kenyon Fire Escape, and con
sists of a small, closely twisted rope of
fine Italianhemp, which passes through
the spiral %groovesin cylindrical metal
machine about ten inches long, and an
inch and a half or two inches in diane
ter. The grooves In the machine cause
the rope to pass around the cylinder
two or three time, thus causing friction
sufficient to enable the person descend
ing to regulate the speed of his down.
ward passage, or to come to a dead
stop whenever desired. Attached to
the metal cylinder are two leather belts
one of which is to be buckled around
the waist, and the other around the
thighs, so as to hold the person in a
sitting position, and leaving the arms
entirely free. After one PERSONALS de-
scended the rope may be drawn up, the
ends reversed, and another person may
come down, and so on as long as prac-
ticable.
