The Newtown bee., 1878-08-29

There IS no use Ill dGSCllDlnS InlS locality for the benefit of tine readers of tine BEE or the people of Newtown gen. orally. It has so often been written up by tourists and resident scribblorS, and 50 many NGwtOwn people have sojoun- ed here for recreation and fishing, that I consider it wasting tine to enter in o anything of a de, criptiOn of il. The: c is one fact, however, in connection with this place which has been entirely over- looked, and perhaps under valued aS a | place of resort--and that is its wonder ful quiet I think it would be difficult
 to find in all this region place of such
 absolute quiet as this-o5pecially where
 so many people congregate during the
 q heated term and remain during the entire season. It is the perfection of it retreat for quiet repOsc. l challenge the State to produce a spot better adapted | to sOOthc the sensitive nerves of the most
 delicate person. No noise is heard
 upon the streets, unless it may be the i vigorous growing of some ambitious | chanticlecr, or the cheerful lowing of some kindly COW, or the squealng of an i imprisoned pig, or the barking of q
 miserable, worthless dog, or the squall- | ing of a collection of cats-and what is
 better still, by far, the eallF songs of a
 multitude of birds. This eve! la sting
 quiet makes my vorJ bones numb and
 paralvzes my tired mind. No midnight
 brol5 to disturb the calm repose of the
 weary sleeper No business is transact ed here to inhude it's iron rules upon
 pilg3in seeking rest from care and over work. 4 solemn stiffness reigns SUI .,, Ill nj, nF ,.i1 A kind of Sabbath numbneS5 peNades | the very air we breathe. The green grass grows luXuriantly up to the very wheels of the carriage as it rolls along the well kept roadway. No sidewalks to bother the pedestrian as he walks through the
 damp uncut grass growing by the side of the fences. No street lamps to guide
 the stranger as he plod5 his difficult and dangerous way along the crooked and
 uneven paths.
 This ever buzy. restless, go ahead
 age, needs such place as this for the
 wea.y worn i,srim to while away the remaining years of his pilgrimage, and it is q perfect heaven of a place for the aged 10 rock themselves to sleepin their declining years, and to fall at last into that eternal sleep which knows no waking here. Nov in view of this pie ture of universal quiet, together with the pure and inyigorating air in this
 locality. and the beautiful views to be
 joy ed from the surrounding hills and mountains, and tie agreeable drives to
 be had ill all directions, l most earnestly invite the people foolish enough to read this letter to come up here a few days and breathe the pure mountain air, and especially do I invite any and all who
 are suffering with disordered nerves,
 who have been longing to be rid of noise, confusion and stylish living, and who, perhaps, lave been roaming the wide worli over in search of place where he can find uninterrupted stiffness, to pack
 carpet bag and leave at once. Ifthere are any persons afflicted with any of the ills that flesh is heir to-, and can
 not be relievd by the life-giving air of
 NeWtown. or by the skill of the doctors, I also urgeto come and roam over the
 hills and bathe in the pure waters of its
 lake. Of course, there are no splendid
 hotels here, filled with stylish and eX-
 travagant guests, who visit such houses
 merely to pass away and show oil to the
 best advantage their gorgeous plumage,
 costly jewelry and magnificent turn-outs. People who resort to Il is qtiet piaee from season to e son are men and women of real cultu ard sound sense, who desire to exch nge the hot and dusty streets of the city for a few days of enjoyment, to refresh and invigOrate the system for future efforts in literary work or in the line of business. But the pride of the citizens of the place and all who visit here is the famous Wara-
 maug Lake,. nestled so beautifully among the hills about two miles from
 here. This letter has already reacbe1 such formidable proportions that Imust
