miles distant, at once the pride and boast of the
icundng country, has been selected the site OF
magnificent and elegant ralase, row in progress Of
erection by worthy hosts the Marvns, al the Sui

fashion, pleasure and all the sparkling gaetes of life

on the subject OF his new boat, the virtues of the
magic waters, the beauty of the scenery, and The

the goddess OF fashion was about erecting. her

OF the wigWaiti and the shrill war whoop, an ele-
giant and substantial hotel was so"n to rise
"As from the stroke of an enchanters wand =
