everything to make it success. Short
speeches, and to the point, were made by

sion was moving up Main street sad &C
cident occurred, by which two citizens OF
Chester, Messrs. Warren Head and P.

seriously injured. The horse became
frightened at the flags, or at the brass

Leaving the pleasant village of Chester
and passing along the road leading to
Weston, we took the first branch road,
which brought us to Butternut Hill Leav-
ing our carriages, we made the ascent on
the north side, visiting the small cave on
the way, and reaching the summit with
very little difficulty. Toward the north
east, some twenty-five miles distant,
could be seen AscuLney mountain and
southeast lowered Mount Monadnock.
and there are also many hills to be seen
beyond the valley of the Connecticut.
Viewing at sunset the beautiful landscape
below us, we thought it worthy the pencil
of an artist, and must add that we felt
amply repaid for our visit.
