The first day of the Encampment, was de
vbted almost exclusively to "getting things
into shape," by the ditnrent Posts and
rwtganizations as they arrived On the
7,rounils. The evening of the first dlty
was spent by the "boys . " around the
camp tires, in relating incidents connect
ed with the late "unpleasantness," iu
singing songs, and in having a good time
gen , ..rally.' Quite a number of the ollicenic
and men had their wives and families
with them, 'enlOying camp life by living
for a few days in tents,

thousand people were present to witness
it. , The "fight" lasted for-two hours and
as hotly contested by the opposing

The "robs" were victorious, in the t end,
and that did not please the onlookers.
"General' '-I t E. Warner commanded on

'was his prinelpal aid, with Captain G. V.

warhotheward; all well pleased with the
pleasures that had been afforded by the,
Encampment, and looking forward with
pleasant antitipations to the lte-tnien,
next year. And that they may all be
there to enjoy it, is the heartfelt wish of

froM the corner of Second and Poplar
streets, watched the Orb of Day wheel
itself up from behind the Wysox moun

rise we have witnessed in two years—and
we might alsO add, the only one. We
gazed ling and entrancingly on the beau

thoughts into a beautiful poem, when our
reverie was broken up by a voice usually
sweet and musical, bin then harsh and
unnatural, informing us, in language
plain and umni;Cakable, that we Were the

expt.eted anything to eat - -at Sheldrake,
we had better carry that; lunch basket
down to the train. And we left that, beau-

Eno is one of them.. He was seized with
a large intuition: on the evening previous
to'the excursion, that he should take it in.
And he did. He was fully convinced, as

on the Second Section. Wonderful how

As Armat .E(a) gives a full description
of the beauties and wonders!of the Glen,
we shall aneroid nothing liff the kind.
Let it suffice that all viewed and admired
them. On oar :ivay up to the Glen from
the lake, we encountered a sturdy yeoman
engaged in picking luscious peaches from
trees in an orchard of that fruit: In con
versation with him we learned that he
was a native of Bradford county, and that
in early youth ho had perused the colunitis
of the ItErowren. Ile was glad tit meet
us-and we were glad'to meet' him, lie
tendered us numberless peachvy and in
memory of the days when he. Was reaping
the benefits of the ItEroUTEtt , 's; teaching,
we could not refuse them—inasrimeb as
he refused the lucre we tendered him in
payinent. AS others camoyiferward to
purchase fruit we. wandered onward,
forgetting to ,ask' 'him the cognoman
he wore in the world's great family. The
peaches were excellent. Passing through
the Glen our party wended their way to
the depot, about a half mile- distant.
where we boarded the cars and shortly
after started on ,our homeward journey.
Stopping at Ithaca for an hour and a half,
the time was improved by nearly all
of the party in walking about the beauti
ful, shady streets. At a little after seven
the cars were . again in motion, and
at- about 9 o'clock we reached -Sayre,.
where we waited until the Second Section
arrived. There the. two sections were
made into one tra4 and from that point
home wereLdrawn by ono engine. The
train arrived at this place at about 1001,
and the happy excurSionists wended their
v.•ay to seVerAhomeg, all uniting in
pronouncing it the, best arranged and best
conducted, as well; as most enjoyable ex
cursion, they had, ever participated in.

large cones of different dimension's set
down and crowded together. • They are
quite free from stones, and fairly produc
tive. The'country seethed to be suffering
from drouth, all along the route.:
Arriving at IthaCa we had a very - good
'view of the portions of the place situated
upon the slope, and a distant view of

Only'a short stop was made, aml , we
were dratrn up the grade toulards . Taug

Lake and Country beyond; At a s'point
near the summit of the grade , we think
the finest landscape view was presented
to us that occurred on the rente, Look
ing to the nortikOatit the lake and its
boundaries formed m seeming mirror,
with frame of great depth and peculiar
arrangement, While to the east and south
were fields, forests, and the city we had
se recently passed, There is much more
wood-land through this section than we
had supposed, but in looking over a sec
of rolling 'or nearly level, country a
small grove will obscure the view of much
cleared hind. Arriving at the station
c riled TaughatimicksEalls, we found ours
selves about 400 feet 'above the lake, and
otusiinile from It, on the west side. ,There :
. is no vill a ge , and you seem to have
alighted in the midst of farris s eN except
your company. As 'we, tiled ou'V of the
cars and up the , walk we took a lobitat
the flagstone quarrics,;which are - worked
by W. B. Disstossr, and the line products
are shipped to various, places, near and.
far. I'should have stated that our train
crossed the gorge, and landed us ou the
north side. The gorge is not very Wide
but deep, and at a little distance from it
on either side one would not notice its
presence. About , 80 rods from the rail
road we came to the "Annek," a betel at
the entrance to ,tire glen proper, kept by
W. FRANK HOsTER, who iecirlS to provide
liberally for his guestS, and - answered
questions cheerfully. Our coMpany brotie

through the glen to the pienie grounds
to eat their Innehts, others availed them

though much might yet be done to add to
its,attractions, we pore disappointed at
.finding it so worthy of a visit by the lovet
of the grand and curious in nature. Steps
and walks have been constructed leading
from the "Annex" down to the Falls ; but
the ascent of the bank on the south side
to the picnic grounds is quite difficult, as
steps have nor' yet been provided. The
first object we mehof importance was the

spirit hovers over that form, or grieves to
see it lying nude and Sold. It may have
been an idol,. but as itkis not in the image

shiners. New York is the Only state hav

Lovers' Grotto, Honeymoon Pavilion,
and Rock Avenue, were points provided
with seats for rest x the latterrossing the
stream just above the falls. Stepstead
from this bridge down to the water, wrie l re
a minature lake has been frirmed andla

the top of the bank. Above this, high up
near the top of the bank is Eagle Clitl;
which overlooks all below' and the lake in

From Rock Avenue a path leads up the

anymitestions or look-about the hotel, so
cannot speak of it. We suggest the name
