FIG. 3. Tin-; HOME OF MR. DOWNING AT NEWBURGH, N. Y. 



Bdmont, the seat of J. P. Gushing, Esq., is a residence of 

 more note than any other near Boston; but this is, chiefly, 

 on account of the extensive ranges of glass, the forced 

 fruits, and the high culture of the gardens. A new and 

 spacious mansion has recently been erected here, and the 

 pleasure-grounds arc agreeably varied with fine groups and 

 masses of trees and shrubs on a pleasing lawn.
