and enervating suItriness. Yesterday was as hot a
specimen Of day as we have had yet. We snatched
an hour from our evening round to take a sniff Of
fresh air at the lake but we were wofully dissp-
pointed. dead calm prevailed; and the schooners,
with all sah spread, remained stationary, like wax
schooners stuck on . sea of polished glass. This

Guiding many families of beautiful and fashionable
ladies' and children. Great numbers Of unencumbered

around the bath-houses, with evident satisfaction

The BRIGHT fresh creyasse water with which the lake
was lately swollen, had ehbed with the tide and the
favoring Winds and the margin Of the lake was filled
with swamp DRAWINGS black to look at as eumbo
and showing over the white shoulders Of the bathers
with greenish brown Iustre cypress water, as
the old Mineburgers call the swamp DRAWINGS.
The haze which prevailed in the evening disap
