height of 7687 feet, 51 miles N.W. of Pathankot, from which it is
reached by tonga. The Commissioner of Lahore and the Deputy Commissioner
of Gurdaspur spend part of the hot weather at Dalhousie. It is a very
pretty and healthy place, with the fine Kalatop Forest in Chamba close
by, and is deservedly popular as a summer resort.

legendary history of Raja Salivahan and his two sons Puran and Raja

asylum at Tarn Taran in charge of the Rev. E. Guilford of the Church
Missionary Society is an admirable institution. Clay figures of this
popular missionary can be bought in the _bazar_.
