We regret to state that the venerable
Judge William s. Lobdel il lying seriously

age and bodily inirmities render his recov-
cry somewhat doubtful, although under

will soon take place ana that he may be
restored to health aud usefulness in the

A New Southern Attraction.

The busy season is near it's close, and our
citizens are coming their summers pro-
gramme of pleasure and recreation. The
centennial exposition will draw large num-
bers to the Quaker metropolis, but. it is
gratifying to note that more than ever be-
fore is disposition manifested to seek in
Southern resorts that health and enjoyment
which it has been too much the fashion to
purchase at great cost in distant places.
For two or three years this tendency to sup
port home institutions has been notably on
al increase, with the very natural result
that attractiveness and facilities have kept
pace with enlarged patronage, until
elimination has been attained in the erec-
ton of the Grand HOTEL at Point Clear,
which leaves even habitual visitors to the
famous caravanseries Of Saratoga, Newport
or Longbranch nothing to wish for.
On one of the lovliest sites Of the entire
American coast, where invigorating sea-
breezes mingle with healsh-giving zephyrs
from scented pine forests, where drives
and promenades through groves of spread
ing o. Ks and magnolias WOO iassitude from
the invalid and the indolent, Messrs. 81. c.
Baldwin & Co. have erected q hotel unsur-
passed for completeness in all its appoint
ments. Every comfort and convenience OF
a irst class fashionable watering place can
pe had at the Grand Hotel. Its fittings and
arrangements are superb and wholly new.
Its facilities for billiards. ten pins, boating,
shooting, fishing, driving, ETC., are COM
plste and under experienced management,
so that the man of the world need fear no
deprivation Of accustomed pleasures; while
superior band will be ever ready at the
GALL of Terpschore's aevotees.
That the capacities of Captain Bsldwin's
magnificent establishment will be thor
cughly tested by the elite of Mobile and
Montgomery society seems already assured,
and we can safely promise full repre-
sentation from the Crescent City during
the glorious Southern summer evenings
now go near at hand. Point Clear was
ever popular with cur people, and many
pleasant "reminiscences linger with them
and recall ty-gone men and times. Under
the now regime, with such reasonable
charges as are asked, the old popularity
can not but be increased. The rate for
board is to be only $50 per month, or So so
per day. Passengers leaving New Orleans
on the morning train arrive at Point Clear
to dinner. The beautiful and feet steamer
| Annie makes daily trips from Mobile to the
point. All letters for further information
should be addressed to Fl. c. Baldwin &
| Co., proprietors, Point Clear, and promptly,
| too, for the formal opening VII take place

The Vfcksburx Cutoff.

The following is from the Vicksburg
Herald Of April %:
The boats don't pretend to 60 any 9th or
way now except through the cutoff. 1t
will soon be as great a novelty to see q
steamboat 60 around the bend as it was
few days ago to see one 60 across the
point. The cutoff is widening gradually,
and the current strikes the Mississippi
shore below the cotton compress, much
further down than it was expected to do.
1t is believed by some that the fair grounds
and the lowlands thereabout will be washed
away by the current, and others seem to
think that land will make near there. 1t is
impossible to say as yet what the river will
do.
