The Ocean House itself with its surroundll pre-
sents one the most liking instances of the suprem
acy which perseyering industry gives over rugged
and apparently intractabe nature For the last ten
years il has been IN the possession oi its present
proprietor Mr.. Job Jenness, and IN the mean time
the desert has been made to blossom as the rose.
The house is distant but few hundred feet from
the beach and when il WAS first erected the inter-
yenpp space was of most stern and fortsdding
character. Some Of the friends OF Mr.. j. laugaed
at his idea of a handsome graveled walk through a
flower garden down to the beach. But patient toll
year after year, has helped to demonstrate that
"a nothing s too hard for him who Wills" The
rocks that were everywhere scattered over the soil
have been made to hide their diminished heads, the
surface has been raised and graded, and now broad
walk passing through handsome flower and yege.
table garden and a fine young apple orchard leads
you inyitDgly from the piazza OF the Ocean House
down TO the bathing houses upon the very beach.
This beach. termed Jenness beach, is about one
and half miles long, and is terminated at either
end by rocky point reaching out several hundred
feet into the ocean. 1t offers one of the most at
tractye spots for surf-bathing TO be found in the
whole country. The beach is covered with fine,
hard white saId, and the gradual deepening of the
water, with the lghtness of the underto@, renders
it perfectly safe Ne accident has ever occurred at
this SPOT. W.
