We passed to the sea wall which surrounds this fort, which is 10 or l5 feet in width and twenty in height, till outside, there is con- tinuation of sea wall narrower and not more than eight feet high, extending one mile to the barracks, and which affords a fashionable promenade.

This is a noble river for one hundred miles, it is said to average three miles in width, its banks are low, lined with the magnolia, wild orange, the live oak from which hang tue beautiful grey moss, and vines of tenderest green, making the whole a most beautiful picture. We pass Marla- rin, Miss, H. B. Stowes winter residence, which is half hid among the magnificent live oaks, and orange groves. Magnolia is bright and sunny spot on the west bank of the river, where it is sad that they have pine lumber and allgators. Two miles farther on, is Green Love Spa. where many stop for the benefit of the waters. which are slightly sulpburous. On arriving at Tocoi, we leave the river and take cars i; street cars! drawn by two miserable look

But the day was sunny and the low country filled with palmetto, wild orange and beautiful evergrecns and flow CTS, and gay party of twenty or thirty did not mind the four hours ride of eighteen miles, at sunset we arrived at St. Augustine.

THE HoUsAToNIo RAILRoAD.-The re- ccipts of the Housatonic Railroad for 1871 were $7s0, ,2s0 against $752. .O97 in 1870 and $5O2, GOA in 1866. The expenses were co., : l2O, and dividends amounting to $l42,sl0 were paid, leaving, with former surplus, $65, ,597 in the treasury. Three locomotives costing $Sl, AIS Gone built by the company; i; two passenger and 40 freight cars, cost ing $45, ,OOO have been added; five new depots have been built and two enlarged i; l42s tons of rails laid, and 1900 tors are under contract to be placed during 1872. Fifty thousand dollars of 6 per cent. bonds were issued, to be expended in permanent improvements. The rolling stock of the road now consists of l6 engines, 24 passen- ger and 33O freight cars CPS of the latter Red Line). There is great contrast be. tween the condition and management of the road in 1866 and 1871. In the former year there was one passenger train from New York in day, and three freights in a week: whereas in the latter there were two daily through passenger trains, daily loeal freights aud through fast freight for the West, and now the necessity arises for an express train with drawing room car. The new President, William H. Barnum, is deeply identified with this road in business interests, and. it is rumored, will resign the Presidency of the Connecticut Western, to devote himself exclusively to the Housa' tonic. .-Sprin afeld Republican.

Kent.
 The grand exhibition of the Kent Cot tage seminary came off Thursday evening and was perfect success. It was the most interesting and entertaining exhibi- ton, Kent people have seen for many a year. It certainly shows with what ef- fciency the scholars in this school arc trained; the exercises being the same as indulged in every Friday, except the lab leaux, which must have taken great deal of hard work and study. Every thing was beautifully rendered, without hesitency ol mistake The scolding of John Jud d by Miss Nellie Vincent, bringing down the house also the dialogue by Misses Mallory. K. Hopson, Darling and Gibbs Scandal was excellently rendered; but the dialogue by Messrs Hopson, Herrick, Eaton and St John was the most laughable. This school, which commenced last summer, has in a short time obtained considerable noto riety, and Mir. Crosby has proved himself one of the best of teachers. We wisl him success. Last Friday being'the anuua meeting of the Housatonic R. R. Co.,. { stranger would have thought that the great est part of the stock was owned in thi! town, but uuluckily for the R. R. Co.,, tho R.
