We assume that the angling tourist will take a 

 peep at the celebrated Falls as he passes down the 

 river. We shall say a word on the subject, and only 

 a word or two, as these waterfalls are elaborately 

 described in all the host of handbooks and guides of 

 the day. 



The two celebrated cataracts are the Corra Linn 

 and Stonebyres. At Corra Linn, the rocks at both

 waters in some places rush down a chasm of not

 the water falls over the steep ascent, stands the ruins 

 of a Castle. When the torrent is much swollen, 

 this entire cliff, and likewise the Castle, are sensibly 

 shaken ; and this is made manifest by water in a

 stream. A mile further up the river is the fall of 

 Stonebyres, still more striking and sublime than that 

 of Corra. The walk between the two is delightful

 rise on each side to the height of full one hundred 

 feet above the bed of the river, and are well covered 

 with wood. The channel is of solid rock, here and
