Champlain.

sort and Its Business Interests.

NJ w. r. Noble of Stamford, Conn,
writes in the columns of the Daily AdvO-

of Burlington as follows:
| thought perhaps few lines from this
part of New England might be of interest
to many of your readers, who are not Ia
mliar with this section of the country,
aud know nothing Of its climate or bcau-
ty. OF the former. perhaps the less said
the better, as the winters are severely
cold with an abundance OF snow, and
there are only about four months ot sum
mvr. In the winter icc-boating Is one of
the sports. and it Is said to be very cx-
hilarating.
Burlington, which is situated on the
shore of Lake Champain, is said to he

and as far as our observation extends.

ten to fifteen miles wide at this point, and
on clear days the towns of Plattshur-h
Wcstport, Port Kent and other points in
New York are plainly visible while range
upon range Of the Adirondack Mountains
stretch as far as the vision extends.
