As the spring advances the coast OF our sea-girf
care begins to assume the hue Of summer. Your
citizens are again considering the important ques-
ton as 10 where the summer shall be spent II
might presume TO make a suggestion on n subject
20 important in all family councils, would name
the shores Of Massachusetts Bay as the most salu-
brious, and Astounding in heathfu sports and beau
tiful scenery The situation of this place Is Pecu-
liarly adapted to the enjoyment Of bathing, yacht
ing or fishing, or il the taste Of the visiter lead
him 10 prefer terra 6rpa, we have shady groves
and babblng brooks, msgnolias, evergreens, and
Wild flowers abundant to satisfy the most enthu--
ssiic admirers OF naturesuch as our pilgrim fathers
fcuLd II when they hrst put their foot upon these
shores.
Our harbor is our pride, and AZ well known to
the seaman mackerel or Goldfish are 20 the
eIicurc. The outer hsrbor is formed on ono side
BY the Eastern. point-thc extremity Of Cape Ann,
stretching far out into the ocean, with its white
beacon and on the other by Nofman's Wo,a
rocky hcadlsnd crowned with woods; between
IN, M and prciected by them, Is harbor, or ra-
thei bay the waves Of which roll in gradually
sloJing beach Of the whitcsf sand, laying midway
bet~ cen the two and called from it, form " Crcs-
cent Beach" The inner harbor lays inside OF this,
separated from II by pfomontory, surrnountcd and
by ruined fort. The latter Is the port. and all the
Shipping lies there leaving the ouier free from all
but passing sails, and as removed from the town as
though nnles distant. Free from any considerable
surf, ard without undertow, u " superior TO any
beach for bathing the coast In the very centre OF
this beach, on a natural bluff. and locking directly
| up the hLIbor, stands the Cape Ann Pavilion,
large hotel. in graceful Tuscan. style, built last
wear hy one Of your New Workers, with

ing travel, which the other large hotel could not
