A FRIEND, who has just returned from the

forms us that he spent the time very pleasantly
there. An agreeable company, not 100 much

Icy; a swing; a bathing establishment; coun-

beautiful grounds, with pleasant walks beneath
the overshadoving branches Of the trees, and
ample scope for morning and evening rides and
drives in all dircctions-these with other attrac-
tons, and the almost nominal charge Of 81 per
day, ought TO cause this pleasant wateringplace
to be crowded by those of our citizens who de-
sire to escape for time from the cares of bust
ness, and the dust and heat and clamors Of the
town. To almost every one, an occasional alb
sencc from home is a Heedful relaxation The
change of sccne, and air, and diet, which such an
absence involves, is highly promotive of cheer
fulness and health.
