Excursiou to Pu,-in.Bay.-The admir-.

Excursion to Put-in.Bay.--The admir-
able arrangements Of Capt. LocE for an excur.
rion 10 the Islands, went into effect on Monday
last. From the large number Of our citizens
that turned out upsn this occasion, II wonld
seem they are beginning 10 realize the advantages
Of the beautiful river At our doors; alao, In con-
nectOn with the Cora Lock, that II furnishes q
delightful channel through which one Of the most
popular waterieg places on this continent is
easily reached For once, all parties were
promptly nn board the Cora Lock at A. NJ,
and with like promptness the Cora steamed long
side the steamer Reindeer at Toledo at 8. The,
transfer Of the patty, with dinner backets, &c.
was but the work ofa few moments, and with re-
spectacle additions to the party from Toledo, the
Reindeer was soon on the way to the Islands.
The dav was exceedingly hot and the nttuaal
inclination was to seek the shade and skirmish
for the coolest place on the boat. BY common
consent all parties done justice to their dinner
baskets before landing at the Islands, in order
that No time might be lost In visiting the various
points of interest. On arrival, a few minutes be
fore IL NJ. the excursinnists scattered in various
directions some seeking the sh adef the beautlfui
grove. others 10 Perry's cave, while others took
small boats and rowed to Giberalter.
Putin Bay is fast gaining uotnrety as wa
tering place. 1t is cheaper and easer Of acces
chan the Eastern watering places the air is puer
and the bathing and boating quite as good. The
Put-in-Bay House has been about doubled In
size since last season, with prospects Of being
filled before the season Is over. The citizens OF
"Porkopnlis," with the lard all fride out of
them, arr 6ockng to this house in great num-
bers. Guess they are rather partial to Mr..
SwEENY, formerly Of the Spencer House, Gin
cinnati, who with Mr.. WEsT, one of the old
proprietors, are making home out of il for
those who are in search Of such.
The Beebe House is also doing fine busi
ness, with several Cucnnltians registered there
also.
Capt ORR, of the Render, who bv the way is
one Of the most efficient and accommodating nf
Lake Captains, desiring u fill his contract tn the
letter, informed the excursionists that his boa
would leave thr Islands at 3 O'Clock, and that
three whistles would b. sounded prior TO start
ing, all of which were promptly complied with.

made r. our numbers on the return trip, prom
inent am ,ng whom wis our efficient Secretary
Of State, Gen. SHERWOOD and lady, who had
been spending the Sabbath OH the Islands. The
return trip was exceedingly pleasant, facing
strong wind, and witnessing the BEAUTIFUL pan
Drama of rising storm, as it appeared, frnm
the very bosom Of the LAKE. Arrived at Toledo
we found the little Cora Lpek in waiting IN trans
port US to our hom 8, where we arrived at
with umbrellas, Iubbcrs &c., TO protect us frum
the watery elements which were weeping pro-
fusely upon the occasion of our arrival.
