rough scenery, the Sulphur; Spring, furnishing
an abundance of excellent water, and soon we
reach Cleveland's Avenue, in which is the no

tention is the! Snowball Room, snowballs above
r sticking to the ceiling and snowballs under foot.
Beyond for- more than a mile thp ceiling and
walls are literally covered with brilliant encrus
tations, white rosets ; -leaves like thosVof the.
Corinthian capit61 involutes more perfect than
any carved work ; fibrous gypsum, like bundles
of spun glassj regularly formed crystals, dec,
in endless variety. Visitors generally stop at
this placei'and return after haying dined on the
" Round Table ' in a hall'mofo gorgeously de
corated than that of the knight of old. " .
. But we. will extend our walk a few miles farther.-
We pass the Rocky Mountains, the Dis
mal Hollow, examine Serena's Arbor a truly
romantic grotto, containing a spring on a stalag
mite, stand surrounded by beautiful translucent
columns ; and, taking another branch arrive! at
last at the e nd of our journey in Croghan's Hall,
fully repaid for a little extra labor. On our right
the murmuring sound of a distant waterfall
comes up from a dark "abyiss ; on 'our.' left 'the
glass waveless waters of a spring rest in their
quiet basin ; - in front a. mass of stalactite"pre-
vents ourjarthcrf progress, and nowafter hav
ing rested awhile and taken some refreshment,
we may, in five: hours' fast j walking; reach1 the
Cave-House whence we started. - '
