Chronicles of the White Mountains . over the crust to the top. Mr. Osgood, whohad piloted many distinguished men through theMountains in the old Concord coaches or on horse-back over the Mountain trails, and who had a largefund of reminiscences of the early days, used oftento tell of his thrilling experience on this historicoccasion. Some of the details of their stay on the Summitand of the descent are given in a contemporary issueof the Cods Republican. On arriving, they immedi-ately took measures to enter one of the houses, which, as these were covered with snow, was a workrequiring time.

Brooks, and Franklin White, a photographer, all of Lancaster, who spent twodays and nights in the old Summit House. From a graphic account of the visit, written byMr. Spaulding, we learn that th
