Eneampment there.
A party Of thirty from Pittsburg

Us. They carry fine silken banner
inscribed ''Hall's Fishing Club, and

them.
President Hayes sons, with a few
friends, have been eneamped on their

for some days.
There is here one. Of the finest
for large summer hotel,
to be found along this coast.
Prospect for peaches very good in

in abundance, but no plums this
year.
