^N the old settlement of Pendleton, in the town of Newcomb, Essex County, we spent our second Sabbath. ' That settlement is between the head of Eich's Lake and the foot of Harris's Lake, a distance of five or six miles along their *^^ southern shores. It derives its name from Judge Nathaniel Pendleton, who, about fifty years ago, made a clearing there, and built a and grist, and saw-mill at the foot of Eich's where the lumber dam and sluice, before mentioned, weie afterwards made. Here was the home of babattis, oui Indian guide, who owned two hundred and forty acres of land, with good improvements. His wife was a fair German Avomau, mother of several children, unmistakably

marked with Indian blood.

It was Friday night when we arrived at the thrifty Pendleton settlement, and we resolved to spend the Sabbath there. "We found excellent accommodation at the farmhouse of Daniel Bissell, and, giving Preston a furlough for two days to visit his lately-married wife at his home, nine miles distant, we all wont in a single boat the next day, manned by Sabattis alone, to visit Harris's Lake, and the confluence of its outlet with the Adirondack branch of the Hudson, three miles below Bissell' s. That lake is a beautiful sheet of water, and along the dark, sluggish river, above the rapids at its head, we saw the cardinal flower upon the banks, and the rich moose-head ••' in the water, in great abundance.

* This, in the books, is called Pickerel Weed (Pontederia cordata of LiniiiEUs), but Ihe guides call it moose-head. The stem is stout and cylindrical, and bears a spear-shaped leaf, somewhat cordate at the base. The flowers, which appear in July and August, are composed of dense spikes, of a rich blue colour.
