Summer Resorts.

summer RESORTS.
We notice by the correspondence of
the New York Epening Post that New
bury, Vt, has become place of sum-
mcr resort for many people from the !
cities. The delight of the climate, the
charms of the scenery, and the medi- /
cal properties of n mineral spring, are
dwelt upon, MS great attractions to the
tourist who is permitted to get away
from the heated and stagnant air of
cities.
Newport md Memphremagog are
this year made more attractive than
ever to those seeking recron ion in the
country A large and well appointed
hotel has been erected there since last

pearance to this inland Newport, which
must hereafter be reckoned among the
popular places to be visited by all sum-

And Mansfield Mountain still main
tains its superior elevation above all
other SUBMITS in the State, and its at
fractions are not excelled by those of
any other locality, whether mountain
or lake The new hotel at Stowe
which Mr.. Bingham has completed
since last summer, large, commodious,
and excellent every way as it is, will,
we apprehend, prove entirely made
quate to the accommodations of the
thousands who now visit Mansfield, as
they used to Mt. Washington. The
tide Of travel has set that way with n
constantly increasing volume for some
years, and the popularity of Mansfield
seems now to be wide and well estab-
hshed
Cancels Hump Mountain is the next
highest point in the State to Mansfield,
and we learn is this year receiving
quite large share of custom from
those seeking romance and fresh air.
The summit of the mountain is not so
massive as that of Mansfield, and con-
sequently seems much higher-an al
most dizzy eleyation-and is much
nearer the lake, making that beautiful
view much the clearest from this point.
The Summit House is only about five
miles from the railroad station, Rid
ley's), where horses and carriages can
always be found There is hotel al
so at the base of the mountain.
