This is one of the most picturesque spots on the line ofthe road—the gorge, the mountains, the valley, the Farmingtonriver, all combine to form a pleasing picture for the eye. The village is situated on an eminence, commanding a beautifulview of river and valley, has perfect drainage, cool nights, and isaltogether a delightful place to spend the summer. Four miles from this celebrated mountain is Old Newgateprison, originally an old copper mine, operated by English parties 1G
