RusrIcArNG.- Montpelier genius has struck out
new way Of spending dog days not at Rye South
Shore, either Newport, Long Branch, or Saratoga
but in the forests on the banks Of our Vermont
lakes. James X. Langdon and family have been
encamped on the shore of Peaeham pond for month,
and to remain until September first, while Geo
Langdon aud family have pitched upon the border
of Greensboro pond. Both encampments have
been visited by great numbers Of Montpelier people
this summer. Berrying, boating, fishing, and the
social eujoyments OF the family and their Intimate
friends make up this sort OF summer life. Its more
agreeable, more innocent and more economical than
fast life among strangers at fashionable watering
places. We commend the new Vermont style.
