as complete register as Il often found
I q lhe present day. On looking II over
we found that David simonds, one Of
oar ancestors, was hog reeve IN the town
Of Boston that year. We always knew
that our ancestors were distinguished
but never before could present the facts
TO prove il. We don't cafe TO speak to
common people any more.
We take tie following extract from
letter ID the Boston Transcript written
! by Harvard student:
I Thursday morning VIC made twelve
miles aud got into Manchester. THIS j.
/ che pretticst place we have ssed throu'
Hits al the loot Of MI EquiaoX, the
Y highest peak south OF Rutland. What
sets Oh Manchester Is ITS marble pave
ncnts. II can also boast OF a handsome
cemetery that contains many monuments.
\ 40 matter how poor a man is herca-
/ bouts, ne Il sure OF monument. An he
I has 10 DO is to climb the mountain aud
7 pull out piece Of marble.
I After hearty dinner VIC undertook TO
ascend Equinox. A French Canadian
who lives IN little house on the summit
went with us. We struck up the steer
est side OF the mountain, thinking We
7 were taking the shortest road there AT
one time we thought we had reached the
summit, but soon found we bad only
/ reached spur Of the mountain, aud that
I the summit was far above us. The rest
/ OF the climb was very ardnous In places
| the timber was rotten, the ground wet
aud covered with moss. Toward the top
| the rocks were almost perpendicular, and
wc had 10 climb them az we would a
tree, with hands aud knees. The old
| Canadian said he never climbed 20 be.
I fore. We would never catch him mp
that way again. lie would follow his
own nose lie was character, a regu-
| lar Grip" When near the top he gave
/ IL. Itfe oh xua so ~ a
I from above. The exultation with which
be heard this, aud the expression which
accompanied his exclamation, Only
1 boyl' would have done Jefferson him-
/ sell good, AT last we reached the little
og hut Old Peter showed us in and
gave us glass OF cider.
The view was grand, north, south,
east, aud west, for miles and miles from
/ the Catskills and the Berkshire hills 10
/ the remote mountains of the north, from
/ Monadnock to the Adrondacks, taking
/ in at intervals the Hudson, LBke George
and Lake Champaign. No one should
come near Manchester without ascend
1 ing Equinox. II need not be assembled
as We asccnded H. for there is good
carriage road to the summit. We came
down BY this road aud by paths, not dar-
+ ing TO descend the way We came up.
Friday as we went up Mt. E )lus-
called Eloius by the natives remarkable
4 for the number OF lis marble quarries,
there being four on the east side aud as
many more on the west side. To one Of
I those qnarrics Is railroad, the cars on
which are run entirely by force Of gravity.
/ A loaded cat coming down pulls mp an
empty car Any ono can ride up ia the
empty ear. The road Is a mile long, and
in that mi rises 1858 feet There is al
80 a large cave ON the cast side of the
mountain We went into ID q distance Of
/ i40 feet, and got 20 mixed MP with The
Jagged rocks. aud SO muddy from the
narrow passages thar led into some inner
chambers, that we turncd back, having D
+ little regard Tor the only clothes we had
with us From ledge 81 rocks below
the cave fac view Of the valley to the
south can be had. II is quite remarkable
that the mountains on one side Of tho
valley are Of marble aud soi, limestone
while The mountains on the other sd,
/ are Of the hardest flint.
