This healthful retreat, and beautiful summer
resting place, is looking up this year, and will,
have no doubt, be among the favorte resorts for
those who seek recreation and immunity, from
the exactons of the too formal fashionable circles
Life at Richheld is life of enjoyment and COM
fort
We have now two excellent hotels. The
Spfing Hotel" as you know, IL kept by Mr.
Whitney, who has lately improved his grounds,
and made such additions to his house seem re-
quisite for the comfort of his boarders. Among
the improvements added last yer, was a veranda,
which extends around SO much Of the building as
- needed for promenade in stormy weather, or
shelter from the sun when IL is fair. Mr.. W. is
trees and lovely flowers meet the eye at almost
every turn, while his well cultivated kitchen gar
dens furnish his table with vegetables fresh from
the ground on which they grow.
The other hotel s the "American," an excellent
house, and well appointed throughout. II is kept
by Major VIM. Deforest, who was last season AT
the Spiing Hotel, but who Is better known as the
proprietor and manager Of the best hetels in Binq-
hamion, and the adjacent country. Those who
know Major DefOrest only need To know he Is
here, ard those who do not know him will be
pleased with themselves IL hey embrace an OPP
Poriuniiyt to make his acquaintance; The Amencan
Hotel overlooks the spring. being directly opposite,
so that boarders have only to cross the street to
enjoy the benefits of the water.
lnvslids from all parts Of the country visit Rich
field, but their numbers are small compared with
those who, in the vgor OF full health, come here
TO enjoy months fishing, towing, and riding.
The country abounds in small lakes, which are
filled with pickercl and other game fish, and the
woods abound with feathered game, while the
roads are delightful, especially which has been
lately built from Fort Plain to Coopersown. This
is a plank road of the best kind and will be much
travelled. All who come here want TO visit Otsego
Lake and Cooperstown, and Of all modes Of travel,
that over a good plank road. in a good carriage,
may be set down as most comfortable. Taken all
in all there is no place which offers greater induce
ments than this, to those who really want summer
recreation. The season is just now opening, and in
a week or two, we shall be in full bloom. You
may tell any one who asks about Richheld, that
they cannot do better than 10 come up for week,
fortnight or month. | shall keep you apprised
