West Hurley.—Overlook Mountain House.

Brown's Station.—A few yards from the Station, Mr. Brown has .a new and elegant Boarding-house. Every degree of comfort, and terms very reasonable. From Brown's Station to Mr. Lasher's is a very nice trip over Mount Hope, where you can enjoy all the views around. Lasher's Boarding-house lays right on the hill, and is always cool and shady. It is about a 1/4-mile down to Winchell's Fall, where there is a nice creek for bathing and boating. The price for boarding is very reasonable.

Mount Pleasant—The beautiful boarding-house by Mr. Schumacher. He is the proprietor of La Dew Farm. His two houses are used for summer boarders, and he keeps them elegant and in good German style. On his farm is La Dew Peak. To make a trip there is to see the nicest views of the whole mountains. There you can enjoy a scene that will never be forgotten.

The next is the beautiful village of Hunter. There is the "Hunter" hotel opposite Colonel Chair Mountain. The proprietor, M. C. Van Pelt, has lately been under a great expense, making new improvements. There is a telegraph office, which connects with alt the, different lines of the United States. Stages to all directions connect with all trains, Mr. Van Pelt keeps a first class table, and charges very liberal rates. This is a healthy and delightful locality.
