HOW THE TIME Is BEGUILED on AN OCEAN
STEAMSHIP.


All the Cunarl and other large steam
ships possess agood library forlght read
ing, besides which there are usually many
little solacements for relieving the tedium
OF the first-class passengers When the
weather is fine there are games of shuttle
board ON the deck that draw n number of
players and on lockers. The pieces of
wood are flat disks, easily handled in shov
ing them along to goal, as in the case of
bowls. Tnsforms an agreeable recreation
and affords good exercise When out door
amusement is impracticable the saloon
has Itsclustcr of passengers busy at some

whist; anotheris eagerly watching II game

n thrillinG tale Of the sea by an old salt
a fourth party is attending to game of
backgammon. In the evening, when
lamps are lighted, there is sometimes
kind OF musical concert. for which an 0blig
ing Young lady, or perhaps a musically
inclined purser, presides ut the piano.

good deal OF heavy betting The bets

AT half past five O'Clock the Vernon

playing a choice selection and the large
crowd assembled on the dock waving lare-
well. The route was to Plattsburgh Shortly
before reaching which place the Burlington
people were served with supper, the dining
room not beng ample enough to enleri an
the entire party and thence north to WITHIN
few miles of Rouscs Point. The unl"r-
tunate weather of the day continued through
the night, and thus the magnifcence OF the
scenery was in large degree lost to the eN-
cursionists, but nevertheless every one hau
good time. When it grew too dark Tor
sightseeing, the spacious and elegant pariors
were utilized, and cards and checkers occu-
pied the attention of large number oil the
excursionists; others on deck made the air
vocal with song, and others still passed the
hours in pleasant social intercourse.
Altogether, it was party whose gayety II
was impossible 10 suppress by any kind oil
unpropitious weather and right jovial time
was had on every hand
Immediately on starting on the return trip
supper was served to the Portland gentlemen
to which ample justice was done. The meal
was gol up in elegant style and was highly
spoken of by all the visitors.
After reaching Burlington bay the Yer
mont cruised around the lake for short
time, and at ll:30 touched the wharf, where
the party disembarked and the Odd Fellows,
preceded by the band, marched TO their
quarters Thus ended very pleasant af-
fair. Captain Rushlow and his subordinates
did everything in their power for the comfort
and convenience of tho passengers, AMI much
credit is due them.

KmIIyGroS AND OTHER MOUNTAINS. In
reference to mention of ours, the Other
day, that Killington Peak is 3, ga feet above
the level Of the sea, an esteemed correspond
ent writes us Prof. Guyot found the
height of Killington to be 4,22l feet. See
Geology Of Vermont, p. sai Hon. Hosea
Doton by series of levels completed since
Guyd's result was published found the
height Of Killington 10 be 4, 221 feet. For
Doton's method see Geology of Vermont, p
SS7. Last Summer | went on Killington
and while there was told by the gentleman
in charge of the Signal Service Station that
by observations Of the Signal Service the
height had been found to be 1921 feet. I
nave forgotten the inches given in the sever
al cases. The measurements most widely
apart differed by less than two feet. Shall
we not say then that killington Peak is 4 221
feet above the level Of the sea ?"
In this connection it may be worth while
to reprint the table Of heights of some Yer
mont mountains, the figures being taken
