Kennedy Ridge"
During recent trip which we made over
land from Orleans to Grand Isle, we stop
ped while with our friend, Michael Ken
nedy, Jr., Of Troy, and greatly enjoyed few
hours spent in looking over the adjoining
farms of Mr.. Kennedy and his father, upon
an elevation overlooking the upper course of
the Mssisquoi river from the east, known as
the Kennedy Ridge
Among the natural curiosities of Vermont,
by the way, not the least is the passage
of the Missisquoi river through the Green
Mountains. This river takes its rise from
numerous brooks that flow down from the
east side of the mountains the brooks run
ing from the opposite side of the same
mountains, making the head waters Of the
Lamoille river Yet both these rivers empty
themselves into Lake Champaign not more
than twenty-five miles apart. The Missis-
quot runs northward, skirting the eastern
foot Of the range some fifteen miles then
turns to the west through channel that cuts
the mountains, four thousand feet high, to |
their very base, and forms not only a way
for the river but for the roads aud railway |
by which communication is alone kept up |
between the two sides of Vermont in the |
north. This cleft or valley, lies at the foot
of Jay Peak, one Of the three loftiest of the
Green Mountains, and is practicable by easy
grades through its whole length. The con.
trast between this route, and those more to
the south through Montgomery, or Eden, is
very striking TO those who travel them by |
carriage conveyance. In one, there is an
easy, gradual ascent from Lake Champlain,
nowhere reaching more than five or six hun
bred feet above the lake, until the height of
the land between the Missisquoi aud Lake
Memphremagog is reached while by the
other routes, the Green Mountains are scaled |
through passes that lift you between two
and three thousand feet into tho air.
