NEWPORT, July 20. 1868.
Tnere nave been many fresh arrivals during the
past two or three days, and the winter aspect OF
deafness that has so long prevailed about certain OF
the rooms In the hotels is fast disappearing thanks
to the freaks OF the thermometer in big cities. The
"oldest inhabtant" Of this favored region, who
hasn't as yet rented his cottage for the season. and
gives promise Of being here, hale and hearty next
summer states on his pledged word of honor that
there are more strangers at Newport at present than
there have been at any previous time within his
cradle recollection. Yet the hotels were all full in
August last season. They are by no means so now.
Then where can the people be burrowing9 May be
the private boarding houses hereabouts can tell
something about It.
The bathing house keepers are in ecstasies. Last
summer there was plenty OF rain, and on an average
only one hundred and fifty people day courted the
swes, or, during the summer, fourteen thousand
seven hundred persons. So far four hundred have
daily patronized the bathing dresses, and If this wet
state Of things should continue its swimming way
until the close OF the season the grand total VIII
foot up forty thousand How much does that come 70
at lfty cents aheadp

boats when do servile duty-Sabbath not excepted
% the visitors all hired out day by day, each
aging ten persons as party whereas last year 1t Yves
considered uncommonly good fortune when four Of
the boats were hired any day during the season.
Even the sinister man who is 0blfgng To people,
and paying well for their want Of objections, Thinks
"the horrid fellow" that horsenesh is looking up.
Seven dollars drive, twenty carriages out daily
twenty times day. and more wanted is the solution

far better now than ever yet. "Confound me II l
the other day. II kind o. knew em all heretobe-
fore. Men are oil strangers what comes now a-days"
