CENTRALIA, HI, April a, 1871.
DEAR News We LEFT home on
the 18th inst. and made cur hrat
stop at sandusky City. Although
it was quite dark when We arrived
there, it did not need the voice 6f
the brakeman yelling 'ssAN-dusky %
to inform u5 oftbe fact, for We
smelt It as soon as we stepped lEom
the cars and this reminds us Of ths
story Ofthe man who was "knoeE6d
out Of time' in a railway collision.
Some one who recognized him asa
citizen Of sandusky, suggested afteE
various unsuccessful efforts had been
made to bring him to, that a dead
fsh be placed to his nose. 1t Wss
done, and the poor fellow took
hearty sniff, and reyiving instantly,
be exclaimed, HAh that smells Of
home :"
Mr.. George March, formerly Of
HllIsboro, has sold out his store here,
and has advertised his dwelling for
sale. It is his intention to seek q
warmer climate. In the meantime
be goes as a delegate 20 the sAmer-
ican Medical Association" which
meets soon in San Francisco.
OATAWBA ISLAND.
Having a small possession On this
Island, we paid a visit to the place,
and found matters improving very
much.
Mr.. N. Hadden, from Michigan,
is erecting a Hotel at the HPOint," /"
with the view Of entertaining a part
Of the thousands who annually visit
the Islands of Lake Erie during the
Summer season.
Put-in-Bay has been so oYereEoWd-
ed for a few years past, and the visi-
tors every year increasing IN num-
.bers so fast, that it becomes a mat.
ter Of concern what to do with them.
Mr.. Hadden thinks he win make
room for a few on CataWba Island,
and I can assure your readers that
they viii find no more genial, kid
hearted host should they visit the
Lakes this summer, than the afore-
said gentleman, and as fast as posi-.
bic, every arrangement win be made
for the comfort of guests and their
enjoyment. The place for the present
will afford the best accommodations
to those seeking health and quiet.
Aftera few years it will no doubt
become as crowded as the other flsh-
iOnable watering places throughout
the country.
The scenery cannot be exeslled,
and the "Point" has one Ofths In
est (ifnOt the fnest) bathing grounds
on the shores Of Lake Erie.
Two large harbors afford fns
chances for duck shooting, and the
fishing is most excellent.
Immense quantities Of fish are
caught of the shores Of Caawbs
Island. Tons Of grapes are raised on
this land and fruit Of ali kinds
grows here to great perfection.
On Thursday I reached Toledo,
going from there to Fort Wayne.
Friday morning, while on my way
to Chicago, I found Mr.. Geo. March
and party aboard the train bound
for California. "Tell the News"
said he, "that Pm going to attend
the Medical Convention in San Fran
eiscO-take a peep at Brigham
YOung-run up to Puget Sound,
&c. &C."
THE WEATHER.
Has been decidedly cool for some
days past, and great fears are enter
tanned for the fruit, Of which there is
at present great promise ALI over
the country, except in some locali.
ties-for instance the Peach crop at
this place had its quietus given it
last January, but below here the
crop promises well.
But I must stop, midnight will
soon be here, and at 1920 A. N.
must again be.
