of the centennial exhibition viii not z
so exorbitant as some papers INSIST there
is still an opportunity for persons OF
moderate means who Nay desire to visit
the centennial, see everything worth the
seeing and enjoy themselves accordingly,
and that without the outlay of an ex-
travagant amount of money. Not only
in New England and New York, but
throughout the entire country, there are
thousands of highly educated and intel
ligent persons who will desire TO give
themselves the pleasure of a visit to the
exhibition. This pleasure they can give
themselves if they are inclined to bestow
little care and thought upon the prop
er arrangements for visit. We subj0in
extracts from private letter written by
the vile of one of the Harvard college
professors, in order that friends further
away NAV take from it such hints as will
be OF service to them in arranging a visit
during the summer.
The letter begins by speaking of the
q money outlay" contingent upon a Wis
it to Philadelphia, and then goes on TO
say: eff they could go somewhat in the
way people go in summer TO the seashore,
on a sort of camping out principle, they
could form parties and share expenses,
and so be able to &c, when regular
boarding house or lodgings would seem
too expensive to be thought of. The plan
proposed was to take house in some
town or country village on some railroad
near enough for the fares to be cheap. A
small, plain house, say parlor, dining
room, and kitchen on the ground floor,
and perhaps one more room as bed-cham-
ber-four bedrooms above. Furnished
very simply with table, chairs, and cook
ing stove, and few cooking utensils

NoErI HAVEN. The gale of last week broke
up the ice in our harbor, and packed it up ON
the leeward shore. In its passage it took away
two fishing schooners, the Oasis and Nevada,
owned by Capt Lewis Mcdonald, that was
moored for winter. A crew from the shore
with great deal of difficulty, boarded the
Oasis and let go another anchor, but She finally
dragged and drove against the Ice. She isn't
probably damaged to much extent. The Nevada
held her ground and rode it out. 1t was n very
severe galc......The packet sch. Greyhound that
was ashore at Pulpit harbor recently, has been
condemned and sold at auction by her under
writers. She was bought in by Capt. Mills,
her former owner, and will be repaired and
placed upon the route again. She was not
damaged so bad as at first suppoScd.."..New
cases of the diptheria have appeared, and one
fatal case since MAY last.
