A Great Accommodation.

An excellent move has been made by the
running of the new steamer "Norwood"
from Philadelphia to Wilmington every
morning, returning to the city of Brotherly
love in the evening. This will have the
effect of bringing a large number of pleasure
seekers to our town by river, who have
hitherto been prevented from making the
river trip by reason of the early hour fixed
for the return of the boats. Now onr store

the Philadelphians that good and cheap
accommodation can be had in every line Of

Summer Resort Notes.


During the excursion season we shall give
from week to week brief sketches of the
Summer and Health resorts easily accessible
to Wilmingtonians, and which we feel iusti-
fled in recommending either from personal
knowledge or the reports furnished by trust
worthy authorities. In this survey, our
attention will naturally be largely centred
on our advertisers and we thus open our
remarks with the South Mountain Sunset
House at Wernersville, Pa, of which we
have been enabled to gather some interest
ing particulars.
Wernersville is situated on the line of the
Lebanon Valley Railroad, ten miles from
Readinga point easily reached by the direct
line of the Wilmington and Northern Rail-
road of this city. The Sunset House is
located ON an eminence 1900 feet above tide
water, the highest spot on the mountain
overlooking the Lebanon and Lancaster
valleys, and commanding magnificent view
of the Blue Mountains. The building is
fitted on the most approved sanitary princi-
pies, with matchless water-supply, and
accommodates from so to 100 guests. The
climate is remarkably dry and healthy, and
in the hot season the temperature is from
14o to 1850 cooler than in Wilmington OF
Philadelphia.
Every facility is afforded for outdoor
exercise, riding, hunting, fishing, croquet,
&c., and IL = g such as

miles Of territory dotted over with towns,
villages and farm-houses, and several rail
roads distinctly in view. The city of Read
ing with $4,000 inhabitants, ten miles
distant, can be seen on clear day, The
view is indeed grand. Travellers have
declared it equal to anything in Europe or
America.
The sunrise is a grand sight for those who
rise to view it, and the sunsets are excep-
tionally magnificent. AS one of the guests
has said: sit is impossible to give in words
an adequate idea of the enjoyment one can
derive from the mountain rambles and pleas
ant drives, from the songs of birds, the
grandeur of the rising and setting sun, the
gorgeous clouds, and the storm-swept val
leys."
Mr.. F. Grusch, the proprietor, personally
supervises the management of the estab-
lishment, and does everything to contribute
to the comfort of his guests. The society is
cheerful and refined, and the charges are
very moderate. A carriage from the Sunset
| House meets all trains on arrival at the
Wernersville depot, and inyalids receive
special attention. In case of sickness a good
physician can be had in fifteen minutes.

The Advantages of River Travel.
1t is quarter past four o'clock and Mr.
Wilson the accommodating and gentle
manly Purser of the Steamer Wilmington,
cried "all aboard" and the PROV of the gal
liant steamer was turned Wilmingtonward.
The advantages of a return "Trip from
Philadelphia by water after the anxiety
and fatigue of shopping, cannot be TOO
highly appreciated. While it is true
that it requires an extra hour by steamer, it
is also equally true the animal economy
demands this hour of quietness in order to
recuperate its exhausted energies. The sea-
son of the year is now upon us when an over
strain upon the vital forces is likely to be
attended with disastrous results. The balmy
and exhilarating influences of river travel
are entitled to more than passing thought.
