Among the natural curiosities of Yer
! mont, by the way, not the least, is the pas
sage of the Mssisquoi river through tn
Green Mountains. This river takes its ris
from numerous brooks that flow dow
from the east side of the mountains, tn
brooks running from the opposite side o
the same mountains making the hea'
: waters of the Lamoille river. Yet both o
these rivers empty themselves into LAX
Champlain not more than twenty mile
apart. The Missitquoi runs northward
q skirtiDg the eastern foot of the range som
: fifteen miles then turns to the ives
' through a channel that cuts the mountains
four thousand feet high to their very base
and forms not only way for the river, bu
for the roads and railway by which CON
munication is alone kept up between III
: two sides of Vermont in the north. Thi
cleft or valley lies at the foot of the ia
peak, one of the three loftiest of the Gree
: Mountains, and is practicable by cas-
: grades through its whole length. The cor
trast between this route and those more I
1 the south through Montgomery or Eden
: very striking to those who travel them b
carriage conveyance. In one of these theI
d there is an easy, gradual ascent from LAX
Champlain, nowhere reaching more tina
five or six hundred feet above the lake, III
ill the height of the land between the Mi
sisquoi and Lake Memphremagog
n reached while by the other routes, Ii
4 Green Mountains are scaled through passs
4. that lift you between two and three thol
- sand feet into the air. Wdtchmdn.
