The rusicity OF the West Point district Is good

which has seized upon both sexes the inspiration
thereof being drawn in copous draughts from that
temple Of Mars, the Military Academy, where the
sage and saplent government visitors are making
their annual 'inspectiol,r all about which the

"coo grot and mossy cell.r The auspicous lat OF
June, which every one who reals the advertising
columns OF the HERALD knows by this time is the
"openng day. OF the earliest country hotels, davned
beautifully upon the bosom Of the Hudson. The
thunder storm which last night ushered out OF ex-
istence the ''merrie month or May'-aibeit II was
bleak and unsummerly enough-with grand salute
OF heavens artillery and All electric feu de joe i-
parted delicious freshness to the verdure OF June,
which only early rsers could fully realize. Never,
perhaps, at any season did the highlands OF the
Hudson look more lovely than now. Those who are
waiting until the heats OF the summer solsce shall
drive them per force into the country retreats
do not know how much enjoyment they are losing
by not bcaking themselves on at once In this ffesn
blooming, buoyant infancy OF summer.
A good many sensible people have located them
selves already at Cozzcns' Hotel, and at the West
Point Hotel, on the Academy grounds. formerly
known as Roe's. but now kept by Mr.. Theodore
CoZzens, who has purchased II from its former pro-
pretor, Captain >. X. Roe for many years its owner.
But the full tide OF emigration to these points has
not yet set IN. There are al present sojournng at
tozzens about eighty guests, but the demand for
accommodation IL almost equal 10 the capacity OF
the establishment. which. may add has been vastly
improved In many respects since lat season.
Among the city people now stopping there are ".
