EXCURSION TO CLIFTON.
At little past P. H., large number Of
cmnibusses, hacks and private carriages were
in waiting to conduct our excursionists to the
suburban palaces on the heights Of Clifton.
The first halting place was at the late resi-
dence Of Judge Mclean, now owned and oc-
cupied By ]. B. Bennett, Esq. The view from
this point is probably unsurpassed by any in
the western world. The valley which spreads
out below might well be termed "happy val-
ley" This home Of the late noble Judge has
suffered somewhat from neglect, but the pres
cnt owner and occupant intends to restore it
to Its pristine beauty. From this ha1lowed
spot to the residence Of Griffin Taylor, Esq,
whose grounds connect with these, the COM
pany was preceded by the band discoursing Its
sweetest strains. Here bountlful supply Of
the products Of these vine clad hills WAS
courteously offered to and readily accepted BY
the entire party. Mr.. Taylor himself being
i'll, these generous hospitalities were dispensed
by his son-in-law, Mr. Miller, who received a
vote Of thanks and th1ee-times-three from the
whole party, ladies included. The next stop.
ping place, and near at hand, Was the unfnish.
ed Norman residence Of Mr.. Probasco, Of the
firm Of Tyler, Davidson & Co., who expends
one hundred Thousand dollars in these war
times to erect q residence to his taste. When
completed, it will compare favorabIy in posi-
ton and style with any private residence in
America. The party then repaired to their
conyeyances, sna drove through the grounds
OF Mr. Bowler, the fame Of which are as
familiar as household words throughout the
United States. may add that constant new
beauties are being developed By the generous
hearted proprietor. 4 recent domestic afflic-
ton suffered by Mr. Bowler, forbade his
extending those personal eourtesies to the
excursionists which his heart prompted.
While In Mr. Bowler's grounds, the band per-
formed "EllsWorth's Requiem" as an ap.
propriate tribute to his affection. From
mr. Bowler's, the party proceeded to the
1ospitable mansion of Robert Buchanan,
