GREAT INFLUX OF FASHIONABLE PEOPLE
BATHING ON THE BEACH-HORACE GREE
LEY-THE WEATHER, ETC.

NEWPORT, July 8.
Newport never looked loylier than at
the present time, and the influx of fash
ionable people was never as large thus
early in the season as now. Crowds of
fashionable people are arriving by every
boat and train. Every cottage is either
occupied or engaged, No more can be
had for love or scrip. A New York gen
tleman released one at the Cliff yester-
day,-the price paid being $500, for the
balance of the season. BY August 1st
the season will have reached its hight
at this point, and then for excitement
and genuine sport, come to Newport.
The scenes presented in and around this
island watering place are really novel,
and worthy Of mention. The beach at
midday is one of the most pleasing, be-
ing fairly crowded with the merry bath
ers. who seem to enjoy this pleasant pas
time to tie utmost Another pleasing

o'clock of a pleasant afternoon. Every

Crown Point.

As many who may visit Ticondcroga,
on the Field Day Of the Vermont His
torical Society, may desire to see the
points of historic interest in the vicinity
We publish the following quotations
which appear in the Ncrgcnnos Yer
montcr, taken from Lossiug's fclicitous
description Of the locality, and of the
incidents connected with its capture by
General Amherst, with a body of Eng
lish troops and ProviAcials, July Goth,
1859. Lossings visit was just a ccntu-
ry later-in 1859, and he speaks of the
fort as the English found it,
The ramparts were about twenty-five
feet thick, and nearly the same in hight
of solid masonry. The curtains varied
in length from fifty-twO to one hundred
along the ramparts, and including the
bastions, was eight hundred and fifty
three yards, tritle less than half a mile.
A broad ditch cut out of solid limestone
surrounding it. The fragments taken
from this excavation were used to con-
struct the riveting, and the four rows of
barracks erected within. On the north
was a gate, and from the northeastern
bastiOn was a covered way leading to
the lake. Within this bastion a well,
nearly eight feet in diameter and ninety
feet deep, was sunk, from which the
garrison was supplied with water. This
fortress was never entirely finished, al
though the British government spent
nearly ten millions of dollars upon it and
its OutwOrks. The works
at Crown Point are much better pre-
served than those at TicOnderoga, and
the present owner of the ground, with a
resolution that bespeaks his taste and
patriotism, will not allow a stone to be
removed. In the gable wall
of the nearest barracks are two inscribed
stones, faced smooth where the inscrip-
ton is carved. One bears the initials
sc r." George Rex or King the rude
form of an anchor, mark peculiar to
Great Britain, and placed upon her can
non balls and other military articles;
and the date of the construction of the
fortress, 1888" The other stone has
the initial &C." without the r, the
monogram of Amherst, the anchor, and
a number of rectangular and diagonal
lines of inexplicable meaning. The
deep well already already alluded to, is
close by the covered way that leads to
the lake, and few rods northeast from
the eastern range of barracks. 1t was
nearly filled with rubbish, almost hidden
from view by the weeds and shrubbery
upon its margin. A general impression
prevailed in the vicinity, about twenty
five years ago, that this deep well was
the depository of vast treasures, which
were cast into it by the French for con-
cealment when they abadoned the fort
in 1859. Accordingly stock company
of fifty men, whose capital was labor,
and whose dividends were to be the
treasure when found, cleared the well of
all its rubbish, in search of the gold and

The music was furnished by the Bellows
Falls band, to the entire satisfaction Of
both young and old. No erudite ora
ton, in language long drawn out, was
given. but homemade offerings, III Te-

Intersperscd with these speeches came
the music of the very gentlcmanly and

niles.
Among the cNtemporaneous speakers
were Ex-Gov Fletcher P"v. :. +.

Willie White from Dartmouth College.
Mr.. Allen. a son of Dea. Allen, of the

4 bountiful and beautiful table was
furnished. and we doubt not but more
than seven scriptural baskets full of
fragments were left over. Huge sap
holders filled with ice water and lemon
adc were supplied for the occasion, and
the large crowd in attendance testified
to their appreciation of the united cf-
forts of the farmers and the villagers to
suitably and ciyilY celebrate the anuiycr-

AN INCIDENT. At the Greeley meet
ing, Wednesday evening, there were
loud and persistent calls for gentle
man from New York, to address the
meeting. He was present, as were a
number of others, as a spectator, and
did not respond to the call. The Gree
ley men were not content to let him sit
quietly IN his seat, but wanted an en-
dorsement Of Greeley and Brown from
him. Their calls were long continued,
each time louder and more persistent.
Human nature could stand it no longer,
he responded to the call. His speech
was brief, telling and to the point. He
said: THE speech he should make
would not probably suit them, | am for
Gen. Grant" This was enough. The
effect on the ratifers can better be i'm
agined than described-they subsided.
