The Third Avenue is paved or macadamised its entire length of 7 miles, passing through Yorkville and terminating at Harlem bridge, in the vil- lage of Harlem. Through the Fourth Avenue extends the Har- lem Railroad, passiiig under Prospect Hill by means o{ aTunnel, which is well worthy of a visit in connection with the pano- ramic view afforded from the eminence above, where is erected a commodious hotel. The drive ihrougli Bloomingdale, Man- hattanvilJe, and thence to King's Bridge, passing along the east bank of the noble Hudson, affords a charming excursion.
