The first work of a party in the wilderness is the !erection of the • ne cessary camp-cabins, and. making the requisite preparations fur camping oat. For the first night we occupied by permission the quarters previous ly erected by a party of gentlemen from Syracuse, who fora nnmber of vbars have made lan annual visit to 'Smith's Lake, and who were to re 'turn on the next 'evening. While some of the guides were en gaged in getting breakfast, the King and Widey with a guide : went on an. exploring expedition along the west ern shore of the lake for the purpose (4- selecting a suitable place for the nr.s'r CAMP. i Others of our party went out upon the. lake to fisli for trout. At-bresk fast call, our King and Widey return ed, and repOrted 'that they had cho sen a lovely spot for our camp near a copious spring 'of the purest cold water, on the western shore of the lake, and about one hundred rods north of Cainp Syracuse. Our fish ermen Came to breakfast with speck led beauties enough to supply our ta-• ble for the day. .Breakfst.oyer, we vacated the Sy racuse camp,. and repaired to the spot selected for Our place of abode during our stay.'' We found iton an elevation about twenty rods from the lake shore,: -approached by an easy ascent, and overlooking almost the entire lake. The work of- erecting our camp-cabins,' cutting out paths, trimming out undergrowth, and set ting our quarters in perfect order, occupied the time of our guides, un der the SupervisiOn of the- King and Widey as rcliitects, for nearly two days, ,'and; the building will stand as a MonnMent tp the good taste of the superv3ing architects. The guides are indispensibleP and we Were fortu nate in securing the services of faith ful; good men, who fully understand their duties F andi applied themselves : cheerfully to their work ; profession al guides and Woodsmen, yet they were men of integrity and correct de portment. We erected firSt a sleeping, apart ment, twelve by i•ixteen feet, and dis tant about ten feet a dining room and kitchen, siXteen by thirty-tWo feet, inclang 'leanto twehe.by sixteen. , These" were covered so as to 'see'm ly us, with the bark of the spruce trees, which grow to a large fAze nud in great Ann dance about. the 'lake. Onr bed was made of the.bonghs of 'the hemlock. with which we covered the ground to the depth of six or eight inches, over - which light blankets were spread,- and for pillows we filled small tie'ks,'•wh'ich we had with us with 'boughi This preparation with our heavy blankets for covering, made a comfortable bed.' Onthe completion of our quarters, Ore named it 11.'Ar 15'71 and erected upon our cabin a largo cross, inscribed With the motto, "In Our paths or streets wereqegularl! laid ont and marked.

During our stay it. was'a continual feast of yennson,,sal mou • and speckled trout, with plenty of the best of bread and corn cakes, made by our guides, butter, maple syrtiP, Potakiea, tea and coffee, with condensed milk, pickles, etc., etc. Our dining table was constructed of s: j l a single piece of spruce bark, four feet in , width an ten feet long, turn ed the'inside up, giving it the ap pearance of a. broad piece of sole leather, nailed upon a frame work and set upcin posts. driien into the ground, 'around which seats were ar ranged. 'We were well supplied with tin plates, cups, knives and fcrks, spoons, and all the appointments ne ce-csutry for setting our table. Oar cooking apparatus was ample, con sisting of- a sheetiron stove, teapot; coffee-pot, frying-pan, , broiler; etc., and a number of our guides were irst-class cooks. Whilst partaking of our first break fast at Camp T#anda, Wide,' dis covered a strange taste in his tea, and passing it tolAlf, says " taste it, it's queer," Alf tasted, and then by way of compariso l n,, took a sip of his own, and says, Mine is-just like it?! Taking ,a, second) taste; he made a discovery, and slinging his cup at the cook, he. exclaimed, " dangi it,-its salt! They haclweetened tligir tea from the salt eu Being pr4s mptly rebuked by the Rhin' for indecorum at table, the most becoming dignity wa's maintained thereafter during our stay. There were id, the wilderness, in Our •yicinity, fly other parties of ; pleasure-seekers. Two from Syrb.- CUBE' at Smith's Jake ; one at Tup per's Lake—the ,R :v. Mr. Murray . ; one at Albany Lake': these were tou rists taking sketches for the purpoSe of writing 114)(34 ; and one we met as We' were returning, at Red Horse— tie,- Rev. Mr. Itish, Rector of the Kpi se , pal Cininfla, at Lowville, son, and a student. ' 1 With -the Syracuse .:. ;I tie: :en NV.I 1‘..M1 ill . well . acquaint-, ed. One of theft camps being near us, and - the other about two- nXes distant on the nerthern shore of the lake, there was a mutual feeling of :good neighborhood prevailed among 0 'us, and frequent visits were exchang ed. Senator NOien, of Svracuse,bc- . ing one of the patty farthest fromus, their camp was called Camp Noxen, and the one nearest us, Camp Syra cuse. We take pleasure in acknowl edging the genetous .hospitality of of both of yiese patties. The utmost good feelini; preNJ,ailed, and all strove to contribttte their share to making our stay mutually pleasant and en joyable. It is said that 'a fish diet tends to secrete ;.n increase of phos phorus in the bf,thu, which - if true, may account for the exuberant bub bling up of fun, rind the general good nature, and genuine humor exhibited by our entire .paoy. _ .. The hunting was usually done in the night-tima, by. floating in boats, as described last week. As but two of our party beside . the guides, bad' viz : 'gnus, Widey and Benjamin, the, -1 floating was mostly done by them. Bog Lake, two miles north, and Har-. rington's Pond, near by were visited by Benjamin and a guide, without success, except in the killing of a loon, and the--ca4hing of some large trout. Widey 'penetrated to Tup per's Inlet, eight ~ mile cast, accom panied by Alf and gUlde Knowlton ; and remained absent all night: Widey for the - purpose of . floating for deer, and Alf for that Of fishing. They're- turned next day Without having cap tured a deer, but reported that Widay had shot at one; and had no doubt mortally w o unded him, but he run off into the thick bushes, and 'they could not follow him: They had seen and had a fair chance to have shot another, but for an unfor tunate, and ludicamishap that be fel Willey while attempting to fire. He had arranged a strap running from one of the oar-pins of their boat to the other, and around his backfor a support. In turning to. take aim, he pressed hard. upon thastrap, and pulled tri g ger ; the cap failed to ex plode, and simultaneous with the snap of the haminer, the strap slip ped from the peg„.nnd over went Widey on the flat of his back, heels iiit ; Wider "went 'off but the gun didn't, and the deer gave a loud blow or whistle,, and 'skedaddled out of ' daiV;er. The next iloatinr , expedition was by guides Lewis and Collins, at Har rington's Pond : they met with sue..=- eess, and returned iu the morning. with aline two-years old deer. This supplied us wilti meat for several -days, and enrlad tn. to repay the hospitality of our Syracuse friends, by actling them a saddle in place of one'they had previously sent us. Ike, with guide ,Hamthond, next tried his luck in .11qating . at Albany Lake, but returned in the morning and reported ii — , - Sh - ot at a deer, but failed to sceure'hiru. Others of our party devoted them selves to fishing. King, Sam, Ike, Alf and C.oful,, were quite successful in this line. A set-line baited with minnows was kept out for salmon fishing. In this manner more . sal mon could be caught than we could make use of. Their weight ranges from one to eight pounds.

Each verse, as the two walked out in front of our sleeping' apart ment, Was" lined in solemn tone, and sung to the tune of " the three bleak crows," when they would-return to the -dining room; comprise another verse, line-it and sing as before: This performance over, they too turned in to rest, and all slept quietly till morn- Oar guides rose early- and got our breakfast in readiness, but it was yet raining copiously ; after partaking of breakfast, our luggage was all packed ready for, our departure. The storm broke away abort nine o'clock, A. U., when 'we bid "good bye " to, Camp Towanda,' , took to our boats ,in the same order as Ave came, and headed towards the outlet of the lake 'for home. As we came opposite Camp Syracuse where the American flag was floating high, we drew up in line and 'gave the party three rousing (leers, which were as heafrily re sponded to by them. They then fired a salute of musketry, which was re turned by us from our boats, anti we said" good bye," and rowed on 'our way, amid cheering and waving. 6f handkerchiefs until we rounded.: the point out of sight. We made ranch better time going down the stream, than when we came up. All the party reached the "Wild wood Home ' that evening, except Benjamin, with guide Lewis,- and Crofut, with guide :Higby.

A few weeks since, the writer o ed in the columns of this paper a fe thonghts on keeping the peace: I , was stated That all citizens should as sist their officers in.,upholding the laws and in punishing criminals. That may we not do. more than this, by-seeking,out and arresting the very beginnings of crime? It is a terrible, fast that hardened criminals are. sel- doui reformed. They pay the pence ty of one vice only to commit another more- flagrant than the first. The passions of men long nourished are like swollen streams. 4, They cannot be stayed. They rush forth with wild fury, carrying destruction in their course. It is better to check the vicious tendencies of men ,before they pass beyond control. The rivu let by the hillside can be easily turn ed, while the great river rolls on' its way and none can hinder'. The gart dener finds no trouble in bending , the young twig, but the tree that has onee_grown crooked, remains crook ed forever. So, there is little/need of crime' if men are guided rjght at first, and no laws can hinder crime when society has oncegrowa corrupt., . Men sini in thought yefore they commit the outward vi ie ze.
