this high cliff Of rocks you see the river
dashing and pitching with madening fury,
eight hundred to one thousand feet below.
Indeed the height has been estimated by
some as high as twelve hundred feet. Few
have been so bold and daring as to ap-
proach the edge of the precipice SO near as
to take perpendicular view to the bottom,
for it is giddy sight and no mistake.
From the White Sulphur Springs the
Chesapeake and and Ohio railroad runs
along Walkers creek, Greenbrier river,

thence in westerly line to Huntington.
The falls of Kanawha constitute Curl
osity to be specially noted. The whole
stream, about half mile in width, is pre-
cipitated over craggy rock several perpen-
dicular feet. The rock crosses the river
obliquely, and when the water is low it is
divided into two prongs, one of which
washes the southern and the other the
northern bank, affordipg the finest water
power to propel machinery of any in West

rock is covered with an unbroken sheet and
presents to the beholder q sight Of great
sublimity. -NorfoM Journal.
