Canadensis lies in small valley IN the
township of Barrett, Monroe county, Pa,
on Brodheads creek. 1t is fed by five differ
ent branches before it reaches Canadcnsls.
The west branch rises in the township OF
| Coolbauch; the next branch rises from Goose
| Pond, in the township of Green, Pike county,
and is called the Lever branch, and the 9th
er branch near Mud Pond, which yields lit
tie but mud. Spruce Cabin Run feeds 1t
below Canadensis, also Stony Run still below
Spruce Run; and by this time, it becomes
quite sheet of water. This creek and Its
tributaries abound with the speckled trout
and has become central point, for the
sportsmen of Easton, Philadelphia, New
York and many other sections to congregate
to take the fnny tribe. 1t has been over
burdened for the past three years and the
red and yellow fellers, are not so plenty as
formerly, but the sportsmen generally get a
very good return for their trouble. Along
these streams are several beautiful falls, and
the most romantic ravines, by many yet un-
seen. On the west branch there are two
falls, called the Upper and Lower Buckhlll
Falls, but Il short distance from each other.
The upper falls about forty feet, while the
lower falls, sixty feet; and the ravine be-
tween the two is wild and very romantic,
In 1868 there was fine young man by the
name Of Northrup, drowned in the pool OF
the lower Falls. He caught his fish hook il
the rocks on the north side, and in ascending
to loosen it slid down into the Pool and was
drawn under and drowned although there
were several persons present, they did moi
save him. On Levers Branch there is {
very pretty fall; also On Spruce Cabin Run
there is another still. These falls are no
over two miles from the village of Canaden
sis, and it is delight to visit them and for
get the cares of life for short season. La
dies and gentlemen from the cities Of New
York and Philadelphia, visit them in large
numbers; some times fifty in day.
Pine Knob opposite of Canadensis is abou
500 feet above the level of the creek. Yor
can stand upon its top and view the barren
for miles around. The barrens are covered
with scrubs and scrub oaks, which make ;
good retreat for the deer and other game t
avoid their pursuers. The scrub oaks which
generally abounds with acorns, make gooC
feed for the deer, the pheasants, the pigeons
and the squirrels.
The Ponds which have been mentioned a
bounds with fish, to wit Pickere, cat fish
perch, sun fish, &c. | have known thre,
persons to carry away two hundred pound
after four days fishing through the ice.
John b. Hobby is the Host for the Pond
fishermen, where you will get good fare ant

The woods are full of winterereens, sasa
fras, whoretleberries, raspberlies and black
berries, delightful in their season. VIII,
