The scene at the Ocean House, on Saturday
morning, was truly an enlivening one. Most Of
the ladies were up and dressed earlier than usual,
and the pleasant little excitement which was pio.
tured in their pretty faces, plainly indicated that
they were anticipating something more than good
breakfast, Even the gentlemen, who were up late
the night before, and who are not usually down un-
til after nine o'clock, when they have been enjoying
a pleasant time at the restaurant, made their APP
pearsnce in good season.
The fashionable season Is now at its height; and
things will remain about as they are for three
weets TO come. We are having very gay times
here at the Ocean, especially at evening Not only
the guests Of the house assemble in the splendid
saloon, but those from other hotels, the cottages,
&c, frequently visit us, and these reunions are
very delightful One is not only meeting old and
familiar friends, who have endured the storms and
trials Of life for many years, but ako making many
new and very agreeable acquaintance
Since my last there have been a large number Of
