WHAT HAPPENS AROUND Us.
GRAND Hop.-The first hop of the sea

We received an invitation from Mr.. Smith,
proprietor of this popular summer resort,
TO attend, and, Of course, we put on our
best and went thther. On our arrival we
found the hotel brilliantly Illuminated from
the roof to the cellar with all kinds of fam
CIV light, &c. Shortly after, the guests be-
ran to pour in from all quarters and before
long the large and iadsomc.parlor attached
to the hotel was full to overlooking with
some of the prctticst and most brilliantly
attircd ladies we ever laid eyes on. The
gentlemen were also gotten up according
to-" nob's" idea, and to say the least looked
well. The orchestra made its appearance
in good time, and the dancing commenced
shortly after The large and spacious dim
isg room was thrown open for this pur-
nose and was found to be plenty large
enough to accommodate all who wished
10 trip the eight fantastic" McSsrs. TroX-
ell. Guthrie, Fralcy, Mottcr, and others al-
nearcd to he masters of the occasion, and
well did they perform their duties. We
are under many obligations to these gen
tlpmcn for their Kindness TO us, and their
actions on this occasion proved conclusive.
IL tina, they are thoro' gentlemen and well
deserve the na,nc. The ladies, to whom
we were introduced, were exceedingly po-
lite and agreeable, and there was none OF
ihat GOODNESS and unnecessary Formally
which j, too often the case in social "atA.
eringS, among them. They ali appeared
10 enter into the festivities with heart and
soul and determination to make this hop
:. Success and verify did they slccccd -
The dancing was KEEP, up until about one or
tyo o'clock when all dispersed feeling that
,hcy had done justice to themselves and
with hearts full Of gratitude to Mr.. Smith
for his magnanimous outburSt of @cncros-

we return thanks to Mr.. Cha>. Smith the
gentlrmanIy clerk at the hotel for his nm.
rcasing efforts to make oar stay with him

Saith for his unboundcl hospitality. We
wish the proprietor OF the new hotel abnn,
