Not far from the foot Of the lake Peter Cooper has
his summer residence and sll nearer IS the conn

onple-but the manuerm which the names OF all STA
lions are cried Is even more picturesque, so much
en- that none of them are distiugUlshdbic and all OF

with sea sonIug of six foot black snakes and an
occasional Tattlesnake for those who are interested
