While cur city friends are dragging out mise.
rablc existence, victims to the combined evils of
cholera, diet, or warm weather, we are here en-
joying the pure air Of the ocean, and living upon
3'the fat of the sea-" as well Is of the land, with
nothing to modest us or make us afraid. This
place IS the new rival of Newport, and the town
itsclf an older and larger port, too, for that mat
ter and known wherever Gloucester mackerel
are used and appreciated. This house, and the
large hotel known as the Gloucester House, are
both kept by the far-famed " Morgan" who is as
well known IN Boston the Common or Faneuil
Hall: The Pavilion is anew and beautiful sum
mer hotel, built in the Tudor style, with an i'm
mense extent Of piaZZas, and alawn, at the foot OF
which the ocean breaks. The beach or bathing
houses within a stones throw of the flazzas,
and there Is safer or finer beach on the coast,
free from undertow, and running of very gra-
dually. The fishlng here IL too well known TO re-
quire comment a party OF gentlemen caught
100 lbs. weight the other day In abouttwo hours.
Ii is only necessary to get into OF the little SAIL
boats, and run out some four or five miles to the
mouth Of the harbor, and catch as many beautiful
cod ever tempted an epicure. Ii you are hun
my, chowdcr on board more than satisfies your
cravings, and, as our neighbor, the god like Daniel
himself, will tell you, never tastes better than
when taken on board.
VIC arc constantly visited by yechtsoi gentlemen
rcsldlng along tic coast, and ter which thus rs a
fine ha!lor aud pleasant resort. Amongst those
inost iftqu ntly herr,n Col Wnchc ter's "North-
ern l.Ght," Mr.. Gny's 'tloud, and Mr.. Andrews
'Aioe,' dhrec Us beautiful boats az the world can
produce. They add very much 10 the gayeiy and
aniuseIneui-and very pleasant fishing, musical
aud sailing parties, are the order 81 the day.
There is none OF the fornality and exclusiyen,ss
Of the older watering aces here. We all seek
forenioyment and recreation and postpone cctcrics
and cliques, formed or to he formed, until we
turn 10 the restraints OF cty lite, pocket our dig
nifty, aud 20 IN for tie prcaCst enjoyment for the
greatest numbcr. a large proportion OF our vlsi-
terJ here are from Boston, New Workers being
slow 10 understand that there are places where a
man can rustica,e oct Of the State. There are,
however, FAIR number ct both permanent aRd
transient New York people, Of the right stamp, 70

Amongst our residents here are Lady Stuart
Whitley & daughter Of the Duke OF Eu,land). and
family. Hon. Rufus Chcate. Judge Mason, OF the
n. y. Superior Court, Gel. Greene, Of the Boston
Post. and family, &c NC. We have some hun
drtd permanent inmatcg-but II would hardly be
fair TO say, Of the private individuals We have among
us, how much beauty, musIcal Accomplishment,
and social merit, they possess; they are known
and appreciated IN our little private circle, and
need no ncwspapcr notices TO render them more
conspicuous. We had the first of our weekly hops
on Monday evening, and with the accompaniment
Of Keudalrs fine band, IL was one Of tile gtycat
and most spirited have ever attended. The lldlrs
are now agitatng the subject OF tableaux, OF which
will give you mere anon.
No table could be better than our boat spreads
before Us, and surely no reflection more agreeable
than, after partaking Of al manner Of fruits and
delicscies, that there has been case Of cholera
in this whole section 10 put our guard against
the great and pressingcy Of the hour. The cs, It
true are rather thick in these parts bat we console
ourselves with knowing that cholera and flies do
not exit torethcr. You had better come and try
the benefit OF pure air, sea BATHING and plenty OF
vegetable aud fruit, al 70 be had at country board
rates almost, TO say nothing ct the tishng. Icav-
