ASCENT OF THE ALETSCH-HORN. The first ascent of the Aletsch-horn, made this sea- son, was successfully accomplished on Thursday, June 29. It is the second highest mountain of the Ober- land range, being, according to Baedeker, 102fe. higher than the Jungfrau, and only 250ft. lower than the Finster-Aarhorn, the loftiest peak of all. The party, which consisted of Dr. Nankivell, of Bournemouth, and the Hon. Herbert Cairns, with two guides, started from the Ben Alp Hotel at half- past one in the morning, and reached the summit at eleven. The past winter had effected such changes in the glaciers and on the rocks as greatly surprised the guides, and added to the difficulties of the passage. Many new and wide crevasses had to be crossed, and a good deal of hard work undergone. The snow during the ascent was in fair condition; but on the return it was necessary to take to the rocks, and the Ober Aletsch glacier was not reached till six p.m., nor the Bel Alp till half-past eight. The day was clear, and the view as extensive as could be desired. The guides, Reuben ivlementz and Anton Walden, acquitted them- selves to the entire satisfaction of the party.
