War ner's right bower, has 'gone to the sea shore" and has been there for several days, still Butts knows where home is and occasionally brings up there during his perambulations in pursuit of the invigorating sea breeze. On | one of these return trips, Butts, (probably be- ing oppressed with the heat took refuge in the loft of the livery stable and laying on the new mown hay, fell into sweet and peaceful sleep said sleep being full of the most de- \ lightful dreams, so much so that he imagined he was in a Geological Garden or attending Barnum's ''only and onliest." It was during this dream that he says he heard nielodious voice in the distance calling him and pre- suming it to originate from his mother-in-law or some other near and dear relative, attempt. ed to answer it, but being so rudely aroused, he lost his bearings and unfortunately fell ] head first into hay rack, that leads down to ! the manager. Loud yells, well seasoned with l language of hardly an orthodox nature, brought Ed. and several assistants, who, with the aid of chest of carpenters tools, helped him out of his plight.
 There is nothing specially strange in the announcement that prominent citizen, and his family had taken vaction, although some of the movements previous to their departure seemed quite misterious; and on the morn- ing of their departure baggage express
 was overladen with boxes, trunks, a patent of some kind, resembling the headlight of an engine, not forgetting to take tent. The party departed by private conveyance, and nothing more is heard of them until they reach the romantic wilds of Ulster County, N. r., where they enquire the route through Shokan, Watson Hollow, and Gulf Hollow, to Shutdown, the head waters of Rondout We next hear of the party at Red Hill, Never sink and Rockland, on the Willow -wee-mock, their objective point being Beaverkill in the l vicinity of the Beecher settlement. They are again heard from at Dry Brook, and Mar garetville, and finally at the Summit House. Arrived at Shandaken they pass through Deep Notch at Westkill, to Hunter on the no knowledge of their movements, after they pass Pine Orchard, Palenville, and CatsBilL What is astonishing in connection with the fact of one of our citizens camping out, is, that our informant should make the mistake of thinking the party were Gypsies, and went so far as to enquire if the object of their pres ent tour was not for the purpose of organiz- l ing a travelling band the coming year?
 We would mention in connection with the regions above referred to, that we have sesn itstated in Boston paper, that trouts were so plenty that they laid three deep for want of room furthermore, there is ice in the noun. tains the year round, convenient for packing the speckled beauties.
