The great success made in catering for public patronage by the establishment of this now popular summer resort, on the west side of the mouth of the Thames River, is bringing into life great many other resorts with like fittings. But Os. prey yet continues to be the favorite desh- nation of Sunday school and other excur- sion parties, 8 deserved result of the in- variable close attention paid from the start to the comfort and safe enjoyment of pa irons. The situation is lovely, the ap- proaeh and departure easy and safe; nu- merous steamboats and carriage lines put it in almost constant communication with the city. Its broad pavilions afford pleasant sittings, or promenades, with all the time the magnificent panorama of river and sound, and all kinds of sail craft, near and far. Good bathing, breezy dance hall,
 and a first-class band giving concerts thrice daily, fine grove for picnic parties, swings,
 etc., etc. The great dining pavilion has capacity for hundreds of guests, and here is served up shore dinner daily, the su- perior of which IS not to be found any where for the money. Clams baked as only one with inherited talent can prepare them, chowders, and all luxuries in season, are set before the guests in profusion.
 Most who read this know by experience of the really excellent fare provided at Os- prey Beach. Messrs. Ockford & Jerome, the proprietors, cheerfully answer all in- quiries by mail or otherwise, and give spe- cial inducements in rates to Sunday schools or other excursion parties, as can be learn ed by correspondence. The vast expanse of room, indoors and out, make it 8 spe- cially attractive place for large parties, the
 more so that the journey thereto is so easy
 and safe for juveniles; the premises also being particularly free from danger of &C.,

The Worcester West agricultural society has voted to prohibit the sale of liquors at its fair at Barre, Mass, in September We hope that the officers of other societies will have the good sense and "backbone' to follow this example. Better have no fair at all, than to make it an exhibition of drunkenness E. Homestead. s''"
 The Holland County East Society can't follow this example because they first set it, fourteen years ago, and have strictly adhered to the rule ever since the begin ming. No rum; no gambling no pool selling. If you want to see how it works come and look at one of it's fairs. No fair in New England attracts so large per centage of respectable people, with so little drunkenness and outlawry. , .-.. . Z

Probably timid travellers in Italy will carefully avoid the island of Ischia for some time to come, despite it's famous mineral springs. There is no spot on the earth's surface that has been more unstable lately than this little island in the Medit- erranean. On March and 15, 1881, se- were shocks of earthquake were felt there, and in the town of Cosamicciola IA people lost their lives. The place was more se- verely shaken up, however, on Saturday last, when, according to the dispatches, four thousand persons were killed and eight hundred more were injured. This com prises about one third of the inhabitants of the town. The constant danger in which people in that part of the world live, is not generally appreciated. In the seventy-five years preceding 1857, 10000 inhabitants of the kingdom of Naples lost their lives by earthquakes. Since that date, however, the proportion of deaths from this cause has not been. so large. This last over whelming disaster, in these days of tele- graphy, brings the whole civilized world into sympathy with the unfortunates.
 Rome, July 3O-The Roman newspa- peared to-day with mourning borders. Many of the people injured in Ischia will be cripples for life. The dead at Forio number 300, at Laccoameno 500, and at Fontana Serrara, 200. Twenty-four chil- dren perished in the Misericordia asylum. The king and queen of Italy have sub scribed 100, 900 lire and the pope %, ,0O0 lire for the relief of the sufferers.
 Naples, July 3O-M Midnight. Two thous- and soldiers digging in the ruins saved 1000 lives up to midday on Sunday, and exhumed "A persons alive on Monday.
 London, July 31.-It is now stated as certain that 4, 900 persons perished on the island of Ischia on Saturday night The stench from dead bodies of human beings and animals is almost unbearable. Sev- eral men and women were rescued from the ruins on Monday morning. Many more might have been saved if larger force of rescuers had been available earlier. Many persons who were heard grooming during the night were dead before they could be reached and carried to places of safety.
 The latest estimate places the number of deaths at between four and five thou sand. As it would be impossible to re- cover and bury all the bodies, Signor Ge- nala, minister of public works, has ordered that in view of the horrible exhalations from the decomposing remains, the un- recovered corpses be left where they lie | and liquid lime be poured over the ruins made by the earthquake. Casamicciola will thus be converted into vast cemetery.
 More escapes with life were made from the crowded theater than any other build ing. By singular coincidence the play, 8 burlssqne, included an artificial repre- sentation of an earthquake. It was quick. ly succeeded by the awful reality.
