Bay View House.

To the Editor Of the Portland Press.
The advertisement Of the Bay View House
at Camden deserves more than passing no.
tice. The long range of the hills of Camden,
is always spoken of with admiration by the
traveller. At the base of one Of these hills lies
the beautiful village of Camden, in the midst
of which is the Bay View House with view
of the Bay and ocean, mountain and glen, I'M
rivalled on our whole coast. Here the tourist
will find romantic and quiet plare, with a
people high-minnded and intellectual. Mr..
Cushing, one of the proprietors of the Bay
View, was the accomplished and gentlemanly
Clerk of the Governor and Daniel Webster
when on the Penobscot route; and johnson,
$50 they say,) knows how to keep hotel.
Camden has long been in want of first
class house, and travellers can be assured they
will find in the Bay View all that could rea-
sonably be desired. We bespeak success to
the Bay View. Orro.
