Correspoodent of the Boston evening Transcript. In order to make our connections between this place and WFftkins Glen, We found we must take an early ora late train.. We therefore decided to make sure of the cool morning and so started before five o'clock. The day began to break as we pass ed up Sheshequin Valley, and the first rays of sunlight touched tops of some high rocks, once known here as " The Narrows." _Heavy mists hung over Ulster and "queen Esther's Flats," but at Athens the morning clouds had rolled' away. Here we crossed "the . Susquenanna near its confluence withttie Cht mung. There was once an. Indian' village. called 11l hogs , at: is place. This was afte*ards ePiged to Tioga, and_for asltincr time -was tall ed- Tioga Point. The large towns, Warly and Elmira, Were just waklngtifii when we passed through, but ( Watkins was wide awake when "the traiiarriVed. As we stepped upon the platform we saw Seneca Lake close to she track on our right; ; . Seneca. Lakt - , so) , fa ilier to us all through Percival's .1, 'L. Eisunan if eb.l IS ' ."

Yes,,Watkins teas awake, for an army of drivers of vehicles of every descriptip*fell up on our,small part and iiiiiSted - on taking us. to the Glen. 4o persis tent and vociferous were' they,. we were almost forced to believe we must go to 'the MountSirillouse, and had nothing else to do. We walked on, however, and turnifix to our •right, soon found ourselves at a small building which constitutes the gate: -way to the . Glen, and which is not mare than half a mile from the lake. Here we procured our tickets, and -divesting ourselies °N all unpessary articles about us, and/'reducing our wardrobeto the lighteaVixrasible leondition, we stepped forth into the Glen. J. N. CALIFF TOWANDA,TA It is Impossible to give our first impressions of this wonderful place. On three sides were huge walls of rocks? towering so high as to almost. seem to lancet o'verhead. At our feet ran a =till stream, gurgling and rushing along as if eag.st to reach the lake • below. Here was a • vast' rocky amphitheatre with sides cover:, ed with ferns In& shrubs and masses of evergreens, a fitting vestibule to the wonderful gorge : beyond. At first we mightbelievOlere was noth ing beyond. Only rc.:,small rift in the rocks showed any place for in gress, and the"roar of distant waters allured us- on. Turning a sharp cor ner at the right we fo,und before us the 66 Entranee Cascade," a sheet of water-falling sixty feet. The gorge was narrow here, but a low , e' and steep flight .of, stairs led us to the top of,, this cascade, and to another level this ravine. We have neither time nor space - to give a detailed descrip tion of this .wonderful Glen. It seems to me•the half has never been told . of it. Hare is an ,immense 'rift in the hills, running mostly east and west, three miles iu length, with-a total as: cent of six hundred feet. It is spoken- of as a ravine - betwel i two hilts, but,as one goes on, the i p talon grows stronger that ,atLsom " time thtirg, must have been agreat convulsion of nature and.upheaving of the earth. which .has tip the hills asunder. The• odurse of the, rift is circuitous and irregular . 'Sometimes the rocks converg at the base•and leaves a very narrow channel for the water, and again they separate at the base and converge at the top, until only .a thin line of sky is to be seen far above..

Great paint; have been taken to make a trip through the Glen safe, comfortable and comparatively easy. We must confess it is no light work to constantly climb ' up long flights of - alm - ost perpendicular stairs, now down another flight, now over a foot bridge, and now along a narrow pith out in thd sides of the rocks. All is made very secure by 'stout-iron rail ings.' • It is not' possible to mistake our way we have only to-follow the well .

Up to thispointiWe had, been: con stantly Surprised'. The views had opened befo,miria unexpectedly and were an increasing source of wonder and delight. Crossing Sentry Bridge we came to a abort flight of steps, ,and then ri narrow path cut into the rocks. • 44 Still. Water Gorge" was flie name printed on the cliffs, and tke'Falls of Minnehaha, " Laughing Water," . were before . us. Just' be yond' rose a walltliirtjr :feet High,. down-Which fell F airy Cascade. We were'no* walkingT,aloYng the' sedon I - plateau, and - far abOve, the water. The place seethed like a huge rocky hill, from whose covering sides all ioundi reverberated,. Now we came to a sort of balcon3/- with seats, of which we' gladly availed, ourselves.. It was delightful to sit Here and ex amine our surroundings. What . a bewildering wildness ! Only that each nook and corner and point of,, rock bad .its visible name, this would seem likesotne new And unknown world. We could not . :lOse ourselves, how-. ever:. This was Cavern Gorge, and at our feet lay Neptune's - Pool, .cipe of the largest basins, as perfet .in proportiMiTand finish as.if carved and polished by baud: These basins, called,c4so _bowls and tubs and:butt's and Pools, were very interesting. They were formed by the falling.of rocks and ;sand' into the bed of the stream, where, in time of freshets, they were, whirled round and round. until deep holes were ground ,out and highly polished. The next place. we came to was-a, - very narrow giforgeOilsely. - called the Labyrinnts. No ray of:Sunshine pen etrated this place. The water, gur gling and struggling through it, sounded as if it come from tliethro - at of a big bottle. :Rtre, we came -tci our fourth' falls, Called__QaVern Cade,,which are "Jorty oiefifty feet Behind these falls we entered a cir cular cavern hung aound with num erous. mosses and 'lichens, always fresh and green. Here-, .we Were at the limits of the secondlevel. From tifis, , point. we climbed' , a_.flight of, aid:rest perpendicular stairs. . Our. guide book says of this place, " We ascend seventy feet and are glad to avail ourselves of the rustic seat at: the top." By this tithe rest. was a necessity. We were glad to sit with eyes closed and listen to the dashing waters below, andthe rippling waves above, and the soughing of the winds through the pines and hemlocks,which were like so many reed instruments. Now we followed the path. cut' in the rocks.iintil we came to another short flight of steps and another bal cony from which the view was inde scribablygrand. The towering cliffs and broken crags far above and be low us, the dashing cascades and sil 7 very pools, made a picture long to be remembered. And everywhere, over rocks nrinorges, grew the most lux uriant iftgetation ; — agreat variety of ferns, Which we were particularly re quested'not to touch,. and of lichens and mows; which we v. l uld not, reach:" Leaving this place we soon came to the Swiss Chalet, which was built upon a shelf of rock overhanging the widest part of the midland gorge. Here wealadly' rested and partook of refreshments, seated at a table in the halcony, which hung over the cliff:" 109 feet above the level of the itreatu.'N-- We were-much surprised to filfiLafter our two - Rours climbing that.wp were but.a half- agile up the gorge, and were only* garter of the waythiough, and hail yet the wildest and- Most, remarkable .

Leaving the Chalet, we came to a gateway where we—werobliged to r.p._resent our tickets, from' . which' we seeme d to be newly lanneh'ed into the Glen: •Now we went down an easy pathway l .until - we came to the bed of the streant, - where we could see - and examine and even dabble in' a large number of those beautifuLpolished basins of which -we have spoken be fore. They are truly' remarkable. Abitive us was another waterfall. -called Sylvan Rapids, to which ire ascended by steps• cut in the rock. Here we crossed the chasm by a bridge, and found ourselves ,in a broad amphithpatTe called the Cathe dml,' which is neatly an. _eight of a: mile' in length ' ; a glorious place,, in which we would gladly linger for a longtime; most fitly named; too, with its high, rocky walls, and leiel and almost - smooth floor of rocki. At the upper end was another fall or succession of falls, called 'Ventral Cascade. The water comes from a great height, but seems to be broken in its fall. _ No* we,come' to two very high flightti of stairs with a platform be ' tweet' for ieet. Not far from this we came to a ,veranda aplace for•ft really aruLfor observation.

This decided t ose who were faint-hearted and 1,. a .rted on. ••• • • Soon we carne to ,a bridge, 41 . tia Be crossed and then followed a very arrow foot-path cut in the rocks. Next we cause to Tripple Cascade, three lovely falls called the finest in the Glen. Our path lay behind a sheet of water, which dashed dowr. the side of the shelving rocks. The sunshine falling on this glittering spray gave the most beautiffil tints of the rainbow. . Now' our pathwily wound around iii the most perplexing• manner up . steep .stai ' and -- across bridges.

At many points the - gorge is so narrow that trees 'have fallen across and lodged on the opposite side, making a natural bridge. At last we reach :glen Facility, where the mast •remorkable feature of this wonderful gorge come to at end. We art now two 'miles and a half from ; . kiitrance Amphitheatre.

From the FelladelphlaTlmes. Quite a large searching yarty has been organized in Eastern Berke for the purpose of scouring Multlepberg .d Ruscombmanor townships to tint Op, and capture if possible, one Of---the skrangeat-looking beasia ever beard of Within the borders of this country. What gives emphasis to the sincerity .of the people engaged is the fact that responsible and re liable parties were first to report having .seen -the so-called monster. A son of lirison_lnspeetor Schmehl was the' first to brin&the intelligence to Tonton &Sim. 0. Hinner shiti, proprietor of the leading hotel there, and. a - nunabet of others went in pursuit what Mr. Sclimehl de* cribed. The monster had been, re pouted on Previous. occasions, and when Mr. Sohnibill Egiw it was lying near 11%--gat t e! entrance to a "field through which he was about driving a lot of ..cattle. The "what-is-it" is represented to be about four feet tall, long arms, with -but tivo talon-like fingers on each paw; feet withont toes, furrows on its head, body smooth and naked, quite yellow look ing as if it had been wallowing in clay. Jared Rissmiller heard of the animal:— It had run up toward Schmehl with extended patsy; and then darted into it cornfield and was lost--to.. view. The , two men then went in search; and discovered the animal on the other side of the field lying near the fence., It reared up on its hind legs like a man. Riss miller says it is yellowish-brown in color, has no hair, small eyes and face, arms • about fourteen Inches long, legs somewhat longer, the hands and feet resembling those of a human being, and hai two horns on top of the` head , . The young men made a - raid on the monster; vhen (they say it darted toward-the forest and was £lOOll lost. in the foliage. A Mr. Ileektpan, also residing near there,. is repo / fled to have seen the beaSt and - he—is inclined to believe that Ulm' large sized ape, that may have esehped from some traveling menagerie. Every cornfield is to be searched, tog ether . with the'neighbor ing swamps , for the purpose of ascer taining what the young men ,have really seen. After the.recent"iains the farmers plainly saw very strange looking tracks . in the sand„<oit the roadside. ..They have also heard very unusual howls aCnight, and the dogs of the neighborhood have been trying to hunt down the beast without success. -At first a large number of people Were disposed to view the thing as a joke, but th;s feeling is gradually changing. No etfOrt will be spared to solve this matter and to discover all that thesis in it. . TWO INDIAN LOVE AFFAIRS. Mentioning :the school for Indians and others, `some existed in Corn wall, Conn., some fifty years ago, a write , • in the Sunday Afternoon says: Aindig. others who attended • the missiob school were two intelligent young men of the Cherokee tribe of Indians.

Against the wishes of her parents and friendsphe persisted in her choice, and the *oils were spoken, that linked thefr:-fortunes for life. The companiotrof ;Boudinot, the son.of the Cherokee chief, was also -enam ored with--;the beauty of a maiden living near the village, and was equally successful._ in his suit. These love affairs_ seriously disturbed the feeling of the 'community and hin dered the ',progress of the school.

He will never go into society with his. wife, and, indeed, will not readily talk to her at home, as it disturbs his smoking.. In nil other respects this man is a good husband and father. Another ac qaaintance of mine; who is a highly intellectual and deeply-read man, will tolerate nothing that 'may postpone his smoke. At. dinner. he is in a v-Er petual drive to - get Moue, so as to begin his pipe; he wants no pudding , cheese, or dessert; taking"these would involve loss of -time, and put off the, smoking period - a few minutes long er. • He likewise requires, no tea or supper, protesting be is not hungry, and that he does not wish to be distiirbed in his smoke.
