ICOTlespCndence OF IHE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,.
LEoHARDTowN, ND, June II, 1880
This quaint old buTgh has not yet felt
the effect of the summer hegira, but there
have been a few stragglers from fashions devo-
tees who have already located here TO spend
u few weeks, enjoying the really salubrious
brecZes and iuvigOrating atmosphere peculiar
only TO this climate. The town and people
are inst the same rs of yore-staid refined
and aristOcratic. The same wiAm hearts, the
ehiyalrous boaring, the gallautry Of old arc
here to welcome the stranger and make that
seeker after comfort and pleasure feel that
his or her lines have been well cast.
The two hotels in this place, Moore's and
Fenwicks, both anticipate the usual summer
business, and have with laudable enterprise
added to the capacity and comforts. Moore's
hotel has had an entire new front made, and
with the additional rooms, will, no doubt,
afford increased accommodations to it's guests,
New streets have been laid out in the town
and the moonlight drives are something deli
cous.
AT Colton's they arc already prepared to re
ceive bOarders, aud Appearances indicats that
during the summer.
Blackistons Island, Piney Point and other
places have their usual patrons, who will, nc
doubt, seek these attractions as OF yore The
steamer John w. Thompson, Captain john X
Wood, is an excellent conveyance for all who
may desire TO visit any of these places-swift
comfortable and oommodious; aud with
thorough seaman and gentleman as com
mRudcr, embarkatiOn on her is both pleasant
aud secure. H.

A delegation composed of Mtssrs. r. A..
Bacon, X. b. Clark, Samuel Herman, Samuel
Bower and John Cockcrcll, property.owners
on Four rand-a-half street, called upon the
District commissioners yesterday morning

that the proposed improvement would cost
100000, and so much had been taken by law
from the appropriations for the building of
public schools that not much could be done to
the streets this year. and what is to DO done
will be couiiued to the repairs necessary for
Tho protection Of improvements. He hoped
the next congress would do better for the Dis
trict.
