country, affording most delightful views, both moun¬ 
tains and \ alleys, at some point reaching an altitude 
of 1,300 feet above sea-level. At a point above Two

beautiful view is had of the Sparta Valley, as well as 
the mountains running through Orange County in 
the distance, being one ef the most beautiful pano¬ 
ramic views in the vicinity of New York. For parties 
desiring healthful locations for summer board and 
rest, there are several points on its line which are un¬

pany giving a complete list of such boarding-places, 
with Post Office address, number of guests that can 
be accommodated, terms, etc. These pamphlets can

elegant means of speedy travel between the metrop¬ 
olis and these ever-attractive mountain resorts. All 
through Connecticut hundreds of little towns give 
welcome during summer mont s to families seeking 
rest, as summer boarders, or to persons coming back

water from.”— Texas Siftings.

HE BOSTON & ALBANY RAILROAD on 
its immediate line has no notable summer resorts, 
yet thousands can recall pleasant days and weeks in 
some of the quiet, restful towns in old Berkshire 
County, on either side of its line, and in counties 
east of it. Taking the immense volume of travel 
which centres at Albany going east, and the thou¬ 
sands who collect at Boston, going west, this rail¬ 
road, by means of its “ numerous trains, splendid 
track and equipments, and fast time,” has moved 
them expeditiously and with singular freedom from 
accident. For summer tourists, its offer of tourists’ 
routes are such as will meet almost any wants in the 
north-eastern section. E. Gallup, Assistant General 
Superintendent, Boston, will furnish fullest details 
on application.

Nashua, Concord, and other New England points—try

dence, steamers leave at 7.30 p.m., and arrive in New
