This, however, does not comprise all
the amusements You will very like
ly form new and valuable acquaintance,
whose vivacious conversation will be
only second to the delightful surround
ings One morning q rather quiet gen.
tleman, by the giving way of the rocker
to his chair, was precipitated through a
two dollar light of glass. The only
witnesses to it weighed some over 300
pounds. The investigation which fol-
lowed by the steward, to ascertain who
broke it, furnished an amount of amuse-
ment far in excess of the value of the
glass. The steward appeared to be
known as adam" and we should have
taken him for about the third generation
from the original, only for the fact that
young lady asked him Where is

Sitting in the east portico of the Ocean
View House, you see constant passing
of sailing craft, fishing smacks, schoon-
ers, yachts, brigs, and occasionally a
steamer passes from Portland or Nova
Scotia. Saturday afternoon | counted
fifty of this craft at one time.
As we have indicated above, the Pig.
con Cove House and Ocean View are
under one administration, the proprie-
tors are Mrs. Ellen Robinson and her
brother, Edwin Carney. Mrs. r. I'M
fortunately was sick and we did not see
either of them. Mr.. N. III. Hartman is
the head clerk, the active duty man at
the Office, and will do his level best for
you every time. Good things to eat? Ger
tainly, and first splendid brown bread

cream. The chronic grumbler is never
satisfied here or elsewhere.

children here. They become the center
of interest in the various circles of
friends. Our circle had bright little
Boston girl of ten years, Lulu" of
course the pet of the circle. How wish

But an incident as we leave this morn
ing may as we'll be inserted Two or
three coaches are loaded for the depot,
with guests about to depart, some that
their children may be ready for the fall
term of schools to begin next week.
There is extra connection among the
young people A band has been impro-
vised. Some of the instruments are
from the pantry, and not all for music,
for some of them would hold ten or fif-
teen quarts of tears which amid other
good acting, are reverently poured upon
the ground, while the large audience in
side and outside the coaches shout with
laughter and merriment, but the coaches
start and then the gong, the cymbal (?)
and the fageolet chime in and amid the
waving of handkerchief we are soon lost

| have the promise of dispatch when
the equinoctial storm begins, that we
may go and see the grand entertainment
that will be likely to come off at that
time, by the rolling waves upon the
rocks, and if l could set the day would
certainly meet the appointment, but
whether can or not if any friend de-

And now, as explanatory, l must say
what was so little apprehended when l
began this letter. | close it after arriv-
