we have written in favor of Goderich as
a Summer Resort for invalids and pleas
ure seekers, that we cannot forego the
pleasure Of reproducing it, notwithstand-
ing we have dosed our readers somewhat
largely of late with similar concoctions.
"Three times and ont" is the rule, and
with this we propose to subside until
August, when it is our intention to emil
CRATE for few weeks to the land of ro-
bust health, rousipg rounds of beef, de-

. summer Resorts.
One of the commonesl and, certainly,
one Of the most rational aud beneficial
customs, among the better classes in most
ciyilised countries, is that Of seeking a
change of air" of scenery, and Of society
during a few weeks of the summer months
The practice prevails in the European
countries, and especially in Great Britain,
as one of the established institutions OF
the middle classes. 1t is equally com
mon, though less ancient or venerable,
with the Weather citizens of the United
States; and even in Canada, which has no
antiquity and little wealth, the fashioaableS
do their best to observe the practice.--
Indeed, it has been become indispensable
to people Of fashion, and though it is
sometimes sneered at as an upish, or
apish, kind of thing, it becomes more and
more prevalent every year, and certainly
not more prevalent than salutary. The
change of place, involving change of
scenery and Of climate 70 some extent, Is
beneficial to both mind and body, even
if the new scenery and climate. should
not be superior to the old; and this fact
is practically recognised by the health
and pleasure seekers, though, perhaps,
they know nothing Of tho theory or prin-
ciple. For, in numerous instances, both
at home and abroad, those residing in the
most noted situations for health and
beauty, move off annually, TO spend their
summers in spots much inferior, in 50 far
as salubrity of atmosphere aud topo,
graphical attractions are concerned, and
still the change will, in most cases, be
beneficial. In Canada, the places OF
summer resort are few in number, and
are greatly over-crowded on that account,
and this must, to some extent, interfere
with the object Of the visitors, whether
that object be health or pleasure. VIZ
! then, IS Goderict not a Summer resort 10,
the fa8hioaaJb, for The mrQlid, and for III,
admirers Of tito grand and BEAUTIFUL IN Ma
hWe? This question has often occurred
to ourselves and has as often been asked
Of us by others. Indeed, every person
of taste and intelligence who visits, oul
Huron metropolis, il 50 struck with tho
beauty and magnifcenco of the local
scenery, as to wonder why Goderch il
not the summer residence Of half the
province and a large portion of the west
ern States besides. 1t is true, we have
every season, few respectable visitors
but only a fei0 in proportion to the in
ducements or attractions. In the frs
place, there is not, in Canada, finer sylvan
scenery than that in the ncighborhooC
of Goderich, or more pleasant walks ant
drives. The River Maitland, within tn,
distance of forty miles from its mouth
presents some of the most charming
spots, both Of the picturesque and tn
romantic, that can be found on an.
Canadian river, and these can be reaches
by excellent gravel roads which extend
far back, into the country, in every di
rcction. The lake view, being bound
less, is equal to the best ocean vicy
which can be obtained in any country
and as the bathing grounds are safe an,
inviting, with fine sandy bottom, an am
pie sheet of moving water, clear as crys
, tel, and smooth pebbly beach, Cooler
ich can offer every temptation of sea
shore bathing, ereept the sat-. In regar

especially, the whole township is suprc
mely blessed with very extraordinar
springs, bursting out Of the knobs Q
clean gravel, as pure and cold and spark

North pole. Some of these fountains i
I the vicinity Of the town, are the larges
we have ever seen, and one of them, i
