FLEISCHMANN'S, (Griffin's Corners). Many men of wealth and
station have beautiful cottages and grounds here, especially the well
known Fleischmann family, which has had so large a share of the development
of the place. Many of these handsome homes are on the bluffs, south of
the track.
There is now a change of landscape; the wild and mountainous aspect
peculiar to the Ulster section, giving place to the pastoral and placid
features of cleared land and agricultural life. You are now entering
a dairyland, with its thoroughbred cows, its rich milk and gilt edged
butter, the home of the sugar-maple and the luscious products of the
sap-bush. The  trickling
stream on the right is the East Branch of the Delaware, which soon
gathers volume and forces as we proceed. The mountain slopes are now
more gentle and sparsely wooded. Though yet set with stumps and stones,
with an occasional protrusion of rock. they yield more readily to cultivation.
