AURORA, h^ 21 



salmo saiar is also found here and at least four 

 species of esox, or pike. 



To the south you can approach by this lake 

 the head waters of the Susquehannah and Ohio. — 

 To the north you can enter the great Lake Onta- 

 rio. To the west you can visit the Seneca Lake, 

 and its connecting canal, and by diverging to the 

 east you can navigate the middle section of the 

 great western canal. 



Such facility of navigation in connexion with 

 a rich soil, abounding with all the means of fer- 

 tilization, and producing the best fruit and grain, 

 with a healthy climate, and delightful scenery, 

 furnishes inducements for settlements almcst 

 irresistible. 



In future times, the metamorphoses of Ovid 

 %vill be re-produced in this romantic region. The 

 Fountain of Arethusa will yield its renown to tlie 

 exuberent Springs of Aurora ; and the license of 

 poetic imagination will spread its fairy enchant- 

 merts over the whole land.
