WATERING PLAcEs-The watering places are
beginning to brush up and be very active Belmont
Hall a, Schooley's Mountain, most desirable
summer residence, has been refitted and re.fur-
| nished in the most elegant manner Il oilers many
attractions. The distance is fifty mes-by railroad
TO Morr stown and from thence twenty miles fur
Their by stages, through most charming country
We see by the Saratoga papers that Union Hall
that ancient and venerable resort OF respectable
! and quiet people-has opened, after being greatly
improved. Its locality, near the Spring, and the
excellent manner in which it is kept, makes this
house great iavorlte,
Fort Hamilton, under that experienced and ac-
complshed fotel-keeper, Mr.. Reed, puts forth IN
mense attractions this season. 1t is most delight
full location, and the comfort and elegance Of the
house cannot be surpassed
AT Stamford, Connecticut, a very splendid house,
the "Union Hotel" has been opened. It is an
elegant house and the situation is delightful. A
good house was much wanted here.
VIRuxTEMFs CoNcERT AT PALNo's.-The fare
well concert of the great violnsf, attracted last
evening very distinguished and numerous audi
ence. The selection was admirable, consisting OF
his two celebrated conceros the caprice by Pagani-
nj, variations on airs from Norma on oGe string,
the whole crowned by the nlmitable Yankee
Doodle. The great merits Of all these pieces-the
| exalted style OF Vieuxtemps' playing-the original
Try of his conception, free from all bonbastic strv.
ing after the bisare-are fully known and were
knowledged last night with the most uproarious al
piausc. Mr.. Vieuxtemps arrival IN this country
was one OF the greatest events In the musical world
of this country, and the treats afforded by him
will never be- forgotten. His cayriere on the whole
of this continent WAS succession Of iriumphs,
which must swell his heart with pride, although he
was pretty vel accustomed to them in Europe,
where his return is looked TOR with great impa-
tience. Through his amiable behavior he has here
made many friends, whose best wishes will follow
him, wherever he goes.

devised by which these accidents can be avoided
