TRAVELLER'S GUIDE. 81 In going by the first route, through Saratog;i Springs, the traveller has a choice of passing direct to Whitehall, through Sand)' Hill, or diverging to Glen's Falls, and thence to Caldwell, situated at the head of Lake George, or Horicon, where will be found a favorite public house. Passengers are then carried over the above charming piece of water in a Steamboat, to the foot of the lake, 36 miles; thence by Stage 4 miles further, to the land- ing at Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain, where is delightfully situated a well kept public house. This is by far the most romantic and picturesque route, affording the traveller an opportunity to visit many points of great interest, connected with stiring events, recorded in the history of the old French and Revolutionary wars. The route by Railroad and Canal Packets, is consi- dered the most expeditious and pleasant as regards com- fort — passing through the villages of Waterford, Me- chanicsville and Stillwater, (by Bemis' Heights and battle ground, where Burgoyne surrendered to the American Army under Gen. Gates, Oct. 17, 1777,) Schuylerville, Fort Miller, Fort Edward and Fort Ann, to the village of Whitehall; — being most of the way in sight of the beautiful Hudson river, skirted by scenery of the most enchanting character. Lake Champlain, with its landings and many beau- tiful villages on its shores, deserves a more particular description than we have room for. It needs only to be seen to be admired, — its many headlands, and the distant mountains on either side, give the surrounding scenery an air of grandeur of almost unequalled splendor. On landing at St. Johns', Canada, your baggage is sub- ject to the examination of custom house officers. Here you are detained for two or three hours, until the cars leave for La Prairie, distant 15 miles; thence to Mon- treal by Steamboat is 9 miles further.

The first link in the great line of Railroads, extending from the navigable waters of the Hudson to Lake Erie, is the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad, extending from the city of Albany to Schenectady, a distance of ]6 miles. The Schenectady and Troy Railroad, which has re- cently beer* finished and put in operation, extends from the city of Troy to Schenectady, a distance of 20 miles; thus furnishing two lines of travel by Railroad from the latter place to the tide waters of the Hudson. The city of Schenectady has become a great thoroughfare. In addition to the Erie Canal, which passes through the centre of the city, here diverges four important Rail- roads. Besides those already mentioned, the Saratoga and Schenectady Railroad, runs to Saratoga Springs, a distance of 21^ miles, and the Utica and Schenectady" Railroad, extends to the city of Utica, a distance of 77 miles, — the latter runs through the valley of the Mo- hawk, parallel to the river and the Erie canal. Lines of commodious Canal Packets run from Sche- nectady to Utica, connecting with other lines I'unning to Syracuse, Rochester, Lockport and Buffalo; a total dis- tance by canal of 333 miles.

TRAVELLER'S GUIDE. 95 CALEDONIA SPRINGS— Canada. Situated 73 miles west of Montreal, in the township of Caledonia, a few miles south of the Ottawa river. As these springs have already acquired a just celebrity for their great medicinal properties, we shall give a short description of them for the benefit of the public. Like the far famed springs of Ballston Spa and Sara- toga Springs, these fountains, of which there are seve- ral, appear to have long been known to the Indians; but the first notice on record of their having been visited by- white persons, was in 1806, when they were discovered by a party engaged in hunting beaver. «' They rose in the centre of a black and turbid stream — the drain of a flat and wet table-land, the v/oods and surface of which, together with the deposite from the waters, strongly in- dicated an extensive metallic region." The small stream, from the bed of which the springs formerly arose, is now turned aside, and forms a tribu- tary to the Attican, whose waters answer the purpose of turning a mill in the vicinity. Here are now found three separate springs, all of which have been analyzed and found to possess different medicinal properties, viz: — the "Gas Spring," '' Sa- LINE Spring," and the "White Sulphur Spring." In 1837 a village plot was laid out immediately around the springs in such a manner that each lot commands a view of the springs and hotel. Several buildings have since been erected, in addition to a commodious hotel, 96 TRAVELLER'S GUIDE. under the superintendence of one of its most enlerprising i proprietors, Mr. William Parker. A tower has been i placed over the Gas Spring-, bridges and w^alks have been I constructed at different points, and the roads improved; now forming altogether a fashionable and delightful i place of resort during the summer months. j Apart from the intrinsic merits of the different springs, the Gas Spring is much the greatest curiosity to the mere j tourist. It is in contemplation to light the principal ho- j tel from this fountain, as the gas which constantly es- j capes is quite inflammable. I The Caledonia Springs can be approached from King- ston by way of the Rideau canal, or from Montreal by land or water; if by the latter you land at L'Original, 8 miles north of the springs; from thence passengers are conveyed by Stages.
