fifty feet, horse sne and carriage turning over
several times in the descent The carriage, a
new top buggy, was smashed all to pieces and
the horse, strange to relate, was found quietly
feeding in the gully below with every particle
of the harness stripped from his back, but the
animal was apparently unhuIt.

lower on the Lakes Southwesterly winds
prevail on all the Atlantic coast. Pleasant

ening weather on Lake Michigan; but this af-
ternOon a severe storm has prevailed in New

that our industrious and enterpriz-
ing friends Messrs. 4. L. Boree and
Jefferson Stokes have purchased the
well known Lewis Hotel" at Bay

proper style for the esa of those
who desire to avail themselves Of
the advantages of a summer resort
across the Lake.
The establishment contains TWEEN
ty-foag rooms, irrespective OF out
Offices &c. Its situation is SO central
rs to be within easy access from
both the railroad and the Lake.
The Prorrietors propose neither to
spare money nor pains to make their
Hotel a success. They expect to
nave their arrangements perfected,
and to throw their doors open to G.

May 1872. Madame Stokes is al
