Black Mountain. 
A general description of this mountain has been given in 
the geological part of this sketch, and I mention it here as 
presenting an interesting view from its summit. 
Fall Mountain. 
There is a great resemblance between the situation and 
appearance of this and West River Mountain. Both are of 
mica slate—both are nearly of the same height—both are 
precipitous on the west side—both stand on the east bank 
of the Connecticut—both have a pleasant village opposite to 
them on the west bank, and both a bridge across the river 
directly in front. Bellows Falls village i is nearer t 
in than B ugh, because the river is there 
narrower. "The observer: from. the top of Fall Mountain 
looks down almost perpendicularly upon the Connecticut, 
here reduced to a few rods in width, and foaming and falling 
among the jutting rocks, presenting an image sat disorder 
and danger, while the neat village on thé river’s bank exhib- 
its an image of peace and security. 
Numerous other eminences in the primitive mountain ran- 
ges on either side of the Connecticut, command extensive 
— Interesting prospects. But the most conspicuous have 
a described, it is unnecessary to go into farther particu- 
ars. 
Bellows Falls. 
Every thing at this romantic spot conspires_to impress 
the beholder with the idea of wild sublimity. The perpen- 
dicular fall of the water is of no great height ; but the whole 
ps8 is here compressed into a channel of a few: rods in 
a out of solid granite, a quarter of a mile, or 
rage length, down which the current dashes, as if i impa- 
tient of its confinement in so narrow a bed ; ; and at the foot
