The w. & N. Switchback Excursion.

The w. 81 N. Switchback Excursion.
"Singing through the forests,
Rattling over ridges,
Shooting under arches,
Rambling over bridges
Whizzing through the mountains,
Buzzing DER the vale,-
Bless me how very pleasant,
Humming down the rail ~
With the prumptness characteristic of the
management of the Wilmington & Northern
Railroad Company the special train for
Mauch Chunk, Thursday Morning, left the
station exactly on the minute of adver-
tised time.
The going and returning were marked by an
entire absence of friction, and home was
reached at not unreasonable hour. A rate
secntive miles, was one of the incidents OF
the itinerary.
Countless myriads of different tinted fol-
iage greeted the gaze at every turn and all
efforts at description pale into insignifcance
when contrasted with the immensity of the
Switch Back associations.
How wopdrous, how exquisitely beautiful
were the universal EXPLANATIONS of those as
they assembled Mt. Pisgah's heights or with
eagle swiftness swept the rugged curves lead

Artists of world wide fame have endeavor-
ed to put on canvas the glories of the
scenery, wild and weird around about Mauch
Chunk, but have signally failed, Poets have
attempted to put in verse the awfully grand
magnificence of this locality, but in vain
There is sublimity, there is an indescribablt
grandeur overhangng Mauch Chunk which
neither the pen nor brush can adequately de-
pict. 1t must be seen to be even measurabl,
appreciated.
