At a distance of one mile to the west of the railway, at the junctionof the Sterling Railway, is the beautiful Potague Lake, nestled amongthe hills, about 500 feet above the valley. From this point a command-ing view is obtained of the surrounding mountams and the windingvalley of the Ramapo. The water power of the whole valley is e^^cellent, and the air should befilled with the hum of a hundred manufactories. One mile on, the road suddenly bends toward the North, and opensinto a wide fertile tract. By our side still glides the Ramapo, at onetime quiet, and again rippling over the stones, while either bank is linedwith willows. We pass another dam and reach. Design Xo. 5.—*\- ii, vix (_ ottagi
