SHARON SPRINGS.

SHARON SPRINGS, July 30, 1853.
There are two seasons ct Sharon during the sum-
mer. The first of these-the July seasons just
closing and hundreds who have been here since the
hotels opened are winging their flight to Newport
Saratoga and the other fashionable resorts. The Sec
ond season, which begins with August, will witness
the arrival OF hundreds to take their place from the
seaside and the mountain. There Is thus sort OF
interchange going on between the various watering
places. Those who spend July at Newport spend
August at Sharon and those who like Newport in
July prefer Sharon In August.
Sharon has been unfortunate in having had to
undergo the annoyance OF a protracted dry spell.
The weather has not been very warm, but the roads
and the country are covered with dust. Driving
and there are many fine turnouts here-has been
less enjoyable in consequence 1t has rained all
around sharon but the tantazing drops failed to
make visit to the Springs. BY the way, curious
haze has obscured the sun all the past week. The
diurna luminary has not been seen save as ball Of
Ore looming through the haze for all this time. The
moon at night Is dimly defined disc Of light. 10 1t
cloud or Is 1t smoker There Is story current that
It Is caused by great res prevailing In the Canadian
forests.
Life Is very stad at Sharon this season. There is
quiet dignity about everything and about every
body which prevents nubbub and turmoil. The
