Among these mountains, Owl's ead, situated on the Western shore, about the centre of the lake,and rising some 2500 feet from the level of its waters; stands pre-eminent in point of beauty. From tye castern base of this mountain, where there is a well-kept hotel for the accommo- dation of tourists, a path rises, by tolerably easy stages of ascent; to the lighest summit, whence the view is surpassingly picturesque and grand.

The railway, steam- boat and stage, convey travellers to their immediate vicinity ; and al- most on the slopes of each, first class hotel accommodations can be obtained, at very moderate charges. At either extremity of the lake there is a thriving village--Magog Outlet at the Northern, and New- port, Vermont, at the Southern.-- About one-third of the lake being on the other side of the line between 'Canada and the States..

General Intellipence. Impending Struggle in the United States.

Where will he stop? Ue proclaims himself on the war-path. He tells his followers that he has put. his foot down. He means to " overthrow military despotism and re-establish the Constitution." We do not mistake these menaces, for this man is capable of anything to hold power. His fate is fixed. His political * full is as certain as any cveat governed by the laws of national policy.

A Strange Vote. | Most of our readers may remember that the leading denouncer of Mr. Beaty of the Leader and of his York Reads job, for many years together was Mr. W. McDougall. ' They may remember also that 'when Mr. McDougall and Mr. Saafield McDonald were colleagues in the his roads, and made a large claim against him for arfearsiof interest. Besides, they condemned the Conser- vative Government for granting Mr. claim upon him, which the Govern- own Commissioners of Inquiry, with recollected that Mr. W.
