As to ladies visiting tlie ^Wklerness, a few 

 may do so safely and comfortably, if accom- 

 panied by an experienced i^rotector, wlio lias 

 been at least two trills to the region proi)osed to 

 be visited. As yet a few only can find accom- 

 modation, and these must be prepared to 

 '' rough it." 



The writer, after three tri^js to the Adiron- 

 dacks, ventured to take his wife there, ( He has 

 been positively forbidden to allude to this cir- 

 cumstance, but has decided to run the risk and 

 take the consequences.) and she enjoyed the trip 

 amazingly. We went in on the 20th of May, two 

 years since, had a very delightful excursion, 

 remained three weeks, caught plenty of trout, 

 camped out for variety on Eaquette Eiver, and 

 met Governor Fenton and i:)arty at Martin's and 

 Bartlett's. We spent a portion of our time in 

 company with the Governor, which added to the 

 X)leasure of our trip exceedingly. 



Any one proposing to visit the Adirondack 

 Wilderness, should procure a map of the region, 

 and the best one is Dr. W. W. Ely's, published 

 by Colton. Directions as to routes, &c., accom- 

 pany the map, and they are correct as far as it 

 is possible to make them so.
