AND SULLIVAN OUNTIES. 
LOCALITIES ACCESSIBLE BY THE NEW YORK

This line connects with the Erie at 
Middletown, thus enabling sportsmen to 
reach the celebrated hunting and fishing 
grounds of Sullivan and (western part) 
Ulter counties. It runs through a wild 
and romantic region, abounding in mag- 
nifient scenery. 
In the country surrounding Colches- 
ter there are woodcock, ruffed grouse, 
‘rabbits, and many trout streams that 
will yield good returns, 
Splendid black-bass-fishing is to be 
had in Marston Pond, near Wurtsbure. 
There is also some pretty good shooting 
to be had in this section if one is willing 
to work for it, The scenery is fine. 
Shin Creek, eleven miles from Morss- 
ton, is a fine trouting centre. There is 
good shooting all through this section. 
Long Pond is about ten miles from 
Westfield, and large trout are very abun- 
dant in the ponds and adjacent streams. 
The country is made up of hills and for- 
ests, in which, occasionally, a deer is cap- 
tured, but the ruffed grouse-shooting is 
good. There is also middling good wood- 
cock and snipe shooting, and wooddueks 
are often found in the ponds scattered 
through the woods. 
Bloomsburg is a good point for wood- 
cock and ruffed grouse; there is also fair 
quail-shooting in the neighborhood. M.

LEWIS’ LAKE. 
This lake cannot be surpassed as a 
pleasant resort: It is situated on the 
highest range of the Allegheny Moun- 
tains, accessible by railroad to Muncy, 
Pennsylvania, then by stage coach twen- 
ty miles up the mountains — one of the 
most delightful rides imaginable. The 
place has not been very widely known 
to the pleasure seeker until lately, Some 
fine cottages have recently been built, 
and more will soon be erected. The 
lake covers about three hundred and fifty 
acres, and contains brook trout, lake 
trout, and a variety of other species. 
The brook trout fishing is te be found 
in the many small mountaivs which head 
close by; but the rarest sport is the duck 
shooting, there always being an abund- 
ance of them, and easy to get.
