W. J LUCIANO. GRANITE NOTCH. After passing the Severn nothing but granite meets the eye;massive in form, deep red in color, and with a micaceous sheenshining through it. Winding through the divide the graniterocks raise high their lofty sides, bluff cliffs overhang the railwayas it curves around their bases, in some places the front portion ofthe train is lost to sight from the rear, but finally the GraniteNotch is reached, and the railway slips through a natural gap,fortunately left for its passage by nature. 64 SUMMER RESORTS.
