M Black Bass at Clayton. — Numerous are the inquiries 

 made of us as to where as many readers shall pass their sum-

 black bass from his rocky retreat. Taking it all together, there 

 are but few places of which we can speak so confidently as 

 that stretch of the St. Lawrence River extending from Rake 

 Ontario to Alexandria Bay. At the commencement of the 

 charming Thousand Islands, on the American shore, lies the 

 picturesque village of Clayton. Of less prominence, perhaps, 

 as a summer resort than Alexandria Bay, from which it is 

 distant about twelve miles, it is yet a fact well known to 

 anglers that the best fishing grounds, v

all, the abundance of fish. Nor is the place an extravagant 



one. At the Walton House, kept most excellently by Mr. S. 



I). Johnston, and located directly on the river, beard is but 



-■J2.50 per day, and the boatmen's charges are scarcely half of 



what, they are at fishing or fashionable resorts generally. 



Directly opposite Clayton is a small island, from which a 

 bold bluff looks up the river and into the broad waters of the 

 lake. This island lias been purchased by our late Lieut. Gov- 

 ernor Alvord, and here he has built himself a most picturesque 

 house, somewhat after the style of an East Indian bungalow, 

 with every convenience in the way oT boats and boat-bouses. 

 The governor is a most enthusiastic fisherman, and his average 

 catches are something remarkable. As the steamer carried us 

 away from the wharf ou our return to Cape Vincent, the gun 

 on "Governor's Island" thundered a salute, and the colors 

 fluttered from the tall flag staff. For the wearied in mind and 

 body, a sweet, repose for both can be found at lovely Clayton. 

 If the sojourner is an angler, or even if otherwise, let him 

 make the Walton his home, and Weber his guide and boat- 

 man. He will be happy. W. M. T.
