magnificent summer residence on TINS
Is1and but is not in view of vessels bound
- Toledo. Toledo is situated some five
or six miles from the mouth of the Maui
NICE river. Some very fine residences are
seen on either bank of the river, the
grounds of which are tastefully laid out.
We made fast to the dock at about 1880,
pm, Wednesday. Of course, as was to
be expected, we were about two hours too
late for the train, on account OF our pros
pecting around the lake the night previ-
Gus. We tried to bring to our aid the
maxim" not to fret over what you cannot
help" and settled down into general
apathy consoling ourselves with the idea
that we should ultimately, dec ooSeate,
arrive at our journeys end. we could
not help but think of the children, who
left Rutland on half fare, and calculated
the chances as to whether they would ar
rive nj that age for which full fare could
be charged before we got to the end Of
our route We were told, very coolly
that we should be obliged to stay in
Toledo until lao, p m, before the next
train would leave; and the only consola-
ton We found was the fact that many
more were in the same predicument. We
wandered around the city, slept A. little,
read a little and away the time
to the best of our ability. We were
forcibly reminded of Rutland, in "ye|
olden TYNE by witnessing a fire,
which broke out about 943 p. m, on
Monroe Street TIE steamers repaired to
the spot quickly, and the flames We're
speedily subdued, with but very little
damage Rutland, we are glad to know,
