Summer Travel and Hotels.

1t is growing more and more fashiona-
BILE for a large share of community to re-
par for longer or shorter period to
summer resorts during the hot MONTHS
1t makes no difference if their health is
not improved, they think it will be; and
then there is an opportunity to see and
mingle with fashionable life and spend
money, and what more does man or wo-
man want?
Two things are necessary to attract city
visitors: First, some natural beauty in or
near the place; and second, good hotel
accommodations Mount Mansfield in
our state has been for years an object of
interest and some attraction: but until a
large and nice hotel was built at Stowe
the pilgrims who drew their weary feet to
its summit were few, and those few were
generally glad to hasten away after one
days sojourn in that vicinity.
A large and splendid hotel was built at
Stowe and opened for the first time last
season Now all is changed, The num-
Der who visit Mansfield for day OF two
is greatly augmented, and as early as the
10th of this month seventy-fve families
from Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
and other cities, had engaged accommoda-
tons there for the summer. and the num-
her of these visitors was daily increasing
These families come about the lSt of July
and remain from two to three months
Aside from Mount Mansfield and the
good hotel there is not 50 much to attract
strangers to Stowe as to many other Yer
mont towns. 1t is pretty little village,
but it is ten miles from the railroad: and
its sidewalks, private residences and pub
lie buildings are not up to those in other
villages that we coald mention
st. Johnsbury could be made a much
more attractive place to strangers than it
is: and we see nothing wanting but 4 little
courtesy and attention. and first cl,Ss no.
tel. to make it desirable place for city
gentlemen to bring their families during
the hot months. And in saying this we
are finding no fault with our present no.
tells they are perhaps as good as the To-
cal custom will support. But large, nice
hotels are now the tilshion-Stowe, Wa
terbury, st. Mbans and Newport each
have one and we believe Burlington and
Montpelier will soon follow suit If a
S75, 900 house will pay its stockholders
an annual dividend of from fifteen to
twenty-five per cent. in the village OF
Stowe, we think our monied men might
we'll consider if good hotel would not
pay a fair profit in st. Johnsbury.

"OUR YOUNG Folks" want to
speak another good word for this valuable
little monthly. 1t is, as its name says for
the young folks-not particularly adapted
to the little ones, but for the youth from
ten to twenty-just that age when "yel-
low covered" literature presents its charms.
Every one who reads the Young Folks is
impressed with the good moral of Its sto-
ries as we'll as charmed with their simple
ity and interest. The story by ''Carleton''
entitled ''Winning his way" is one of the
best for the youth of our country to read
and improve upon; and the interest in the
hero Paul increases from month to month.
We are glad that there is a magazine
which, while it interests and amuses, also
instmcts and benefits. Such is Our Young
Folks, published by Ticknor & Fields,
Boston, at 81 year.

He informs the House that the financial legis-

NAV YORK, January ia Fortress Mon
roe correspondent says The Raleigh Wing comes
out openly for reconstruction.
Owing to intestine troubles the interior OF the
state is filled with deseriers aud outlaws. The
state militis have thrown away their arms and
gone home.
The following is from The Richmond Dis
patch of the 18th:
We presume the fall Of Fort Fisher closes
the port of Wilmington. 1t commands the en-
trance TO Cape Fear river. and will, we fear,
enable the enemy to blockade the river, giving
them. as il does, secure ~lodgment on the left
bank.
Fort Caswelt and several other works still
guard the southern channel of the river.
Fort Fisher il 80 miles below Wilmington.
Some regard the tall Of Fort Fisher as a dis
aster, while many are Disposed to consider it as
a blessing ia disguise.
1t must be said a numerous and sensible class
contend that Wilmington, as a seaport, has.
from the beginning, done US more harm than
good. They say that goods imported through
il have been of little good to Us, while millions
OF dollars worth of our cotton has thence found
its way into the hands of our enemies.
Ii is proper TO add that possibly our force,
which according TO Gen. Lees dispatch, was
making heavy demonstration sgsinst their rear,
may retake the fort.
