In he valleys outside these mountains on either site are the north avd soub forks of the Shenandoah river, present ing the outiloes of deep and formiJable ramparts, the parsege of which might bo easily intercepted from some f ihe wany favoranle pointe of elevation which 1e witbio gannom range. And here let me re- mark with regard to thofe forks of the Shonan- ‘oan, that a spectacle more grand than they present, with, their various Complicated windings, could nowbere de witoessed. Their course reprevente the same ortocue siccinye woich are depicted in the drawing of a sueke used to # familiar game of that name in which chil ‘rep teke euch ap Interest. Tbe curves, which consist of not leee then frdm seven to ten, range in almost a diract wwe from Fort Mouvtaio to Nortn Mountain on the sther Bide, acd the course of the river is from one moun- ‘ain to the other, alternately, for a distance of twelve or Alten miles. With these abrupt divergances in its course © ratio of advance towards the point of junction with te kindred #'ream must be slow, while the diatance tra- veiled 18 pecessarily much increased. Between the iines of the river, tn its transverse hike, tortuous course from ope mouptain to apotrer, there exist series of rich farms, toe river lines constituting the boundaries bewween each. The area of each farm is beautituily circumacribed, ac cording to the ordinary capacity and requirements of the co Uvm.ors of the soll; but in the productiveness of that ic region there is a counterbalance for its aggre 2 roum*cribed range, which gives to it an incressed reiative ysive. Thus you wiil perceive that in its varied ‘oawures of outline and peculiar formation, Powali’s Fort is justly entailed to the designation givon 40 it. Au stouring incident recontiy occurred here, which I seem it appropriate to give you: A large turkey gobbler, half wild, pelopgiog to the provrietor of the Seven Fountains, has been in the habit, from tims to time, of quitting his charge bere and taking up with the wild tar ceys in the neighboring mouplains. Betiraes he recurved, when food became scarce ontetde; and for & month or two attended to ali his duties as master of the hovseheld, showing every diavosition to become fudy reooociled and domesticated. The first gobble from his old associates on the mountain, however, would lead vim off ¢gein, wad be would covtinue as before to matataip ood fellowship with bis bretbren of the forest, returning Sgain under the ame necessity to which his comparative iwactivity and improvidence had readily reduced bi.
