bath, and in drinking of the several fountains that
send forth in limpd streams their medicinal water.
Among the boarders already here, l find that your
city has her quota in the field, who are living on
the fat of the land" at the Eagle kept by o Com
stock. The Eagle, usual, takes the lead in board
ers this season. Well it may for Mr.. o. c. is de-
sevedy entitled to the support andlcon6dence of

of the Eagle, and has spared no pains in the i'm.
provement Of his house, and in supplying his table
with all that heart could wish, that the stay of his
guests mghtbe pleasant and beneficial. The Eagle
is situated on an elevated platform of land adjoining

said spring, with picket fence, making delight
u park of two acres-reorgaDzed the fountain,
erected covering over It, and seats around, &c ,
which adds much to its appearance, and more to
the comfort of him who calls to Stake his thirst un-
der a warm sun.
There was no regular celebration on the Fourth,
but the village was literally thronged with strangers.
The day was lovely one; the sun shone unusually
warm till IL o'clock, when il was tempered bya
gentle breeze from the west, which continued
through the day. The youth, whose bosoms on
such occasions swell with patriotism, were out with
their young artillery and, freed from parental bond
age, made the welkin ring with their meHlment.
The young country miss, with ruby lips and rosy
cheeks hung upon the arm OF her lover In ecstacy,
ste nIpg TO the yoluptuous music OF the Bavarian
ministries" of the city OF Rochester, who were seat
ed on the piazza Of the Eagle, where, with one hun
bred and twenty of the sexes, partook of din

gentlemen from some Of the principal States, OF all
castles and conditions, from the splendid miss OF
sixteen up TO the gray-headed sire of seventy!
The weather continues warm. The fine rain that
tell yesterday morning has done much good. Crops
continue TO improve rapidly, and II the good
weather continues, we shall have plentiful har-
vest. Yours, &c. LEO.
