OLD POINT AND HAMPTON.


These two delightful summer retreats are begin

Old Point we learn that there is an unusually srg,
number of VISITORS and We have no doubt the excel
lent hotels Of Hampton also receiving their share
of patronage.
Two more salubrious spots cannot be found in thu
country and certainly, there is no watering place il
the land, to excel them in comforts and luIuries.-
The scenery at Old Point is sublime and beautiful be

else that is edible to be found earth or in the

The pleasant town Of Hampton may be reached
from the Point either by land or WATER in twenty
or thirty minutes. And there, too, are enjoymen,s,
which the roasting denzens of the heated city may
wish for, but geek elsewhere in vain. The ladies are
beautiful and accomplished the gentlemen, courtly,
hospitabe and intelligent, and the society altogether
equal to any in the Union.
The streets are shaded with rural looking
trees, the town is orderly and quiet, and the hotels
unexceptionabs. Chesapeake Hall, kept by DR..
