A DELIGHTFUL RETREAT. Ill 



proved of by him, but was far from raising this canine 

 in my estimation. 



Close to Lake Champlain, in the State of New 

 York, is situated an immense range of wild land, 

 called the Ariondac ; here Virginian deer are still 

 numerous. The excellence of the fishing to be ob- 

 tained there, also the beauty of scenery, makes it one 

 of the most delightful retreats for either sportsmen or 

 lovers of nature.
