 MT. and Mrs. William Church returned to their residence on George street last Satur- dav from Hartsdale, N. Y., where they were
 visiting Superintendent Garry of the car de-
 ,,artment of the New York Central and Hud-
 son River railroad.
 Mrs Charles Andrews and son, of New
 York, are boarding at Mrs. M. J. Northrop's on Washington avenue. Mr. Andrews comes up every Saturday, returning Monday. Mr. Andrews has handsomely decorated the front veranda of Mrs. Northrop's residence
 in raonrring in memory of the lats Gen. eral Grant and picture of the general
 hangs is the center, which is also neatly
 draped.
 The Hinn,an House is early full of guests. Among the prominent boarders are MT. and Mrs. W. Oland Hoyt, son and servant of Danbury, MT. and Mrs. S. Manila and child of New York, Miss Henrietta Heyman of New York, Miss Amelia Williams of New Haven, MT. and Mrs. H. Frey, Miss Louisa Meyers and Miss Fannie Otto of Broad Brook, Conn.
  Locks Catholic society picnic at Railroad Lynch & Loug6lin have tho front of their place at the entrance of RailI oad Grove elaborately draped in memory of General Grant.
 "Has the shore any attractions on day ! like yesterdgyp' was asked of hotel boarder last evening The boarder answered in the affirmative "Many," he continued, 'might ! think otherwise. To be sure there are to ! be considered the sombre skies, the dull drip of water from the roofs and sheds and the | absence of crowds. But take the opposite ' side of the picture. Once in while all people like quiet day, even at ! summer outing. The ladies can devote time to their wardrobe and they ind numbe1less little pieces of domestic work to \ attend to, Then there are letters to answer. \ and tbe Sea View Houss and Beach House | mails are never larger than after rainy day. Then the gentlemen find suddenly that they | have business in the city; or they take run down to New York on business. Or, if they ! stay at the shore they find that they can be of service-if unmarried, in holding ball of yarn at the request of some fair mademoi- selle. who exerts over him a witchery that threatens orange blossoms and wedding ceremony. The married men can play high, low,' euchre, billiards or pool, or they can read Howel1s concluding chapters rela- tive to The Rise of Silas Lapham' in the August Century One of the gentlemen boarders at the Sea View is an amateur ar tist who, his friends tell him, might become famous if he would apply himself to art and let finances go for while. And forgot to say that a few of the young ladies at the Sea View are called quite expert pianists for their years, and we hear in addition to When the Clouds Roll By classical selec-' tions occasionally of no mean o1der. Then, we who like nature and live in an interior town are perfectly delighted to watch the sad sea waves and the long roll of the big waves and the white caps, so numerous, and we love to see the waves break, break, ! break on the cold gray stones. Oh, yes; ! there is food for the mind, relaxation, diver ! sion and rest at the shore on 8 rainy, wet ! day, like that of yesterday.
 "And while on this matter there is @ gen. | tleman of some artistic tastes, plain | citizen, who likes clamming, but who never | enjoys the diversion so much as when he can pursue it in the rain. Savin Rock long clans are his special delight and it is said | that no one can realize how delectable clam fry is until he has tasted one gotten up ! by this same aforesaid digger. All the lit ! tie long clans are not dug up yet at the Rock But it is quite fashionable for the ladies in the summer cottages to go out mornings and hoe out half-peck or more and serve them up for dinner, and the ladies | look as if they had no malaria about them, | and the number of young ladies at the Rock
 who can swim is increasing. There are sev- ' eral who would be shocked to see their | names in the papers who, if occasion should require could swim more than half mile easily and come in looking like fair Nereids without spot or blemish, and they have no need to be ashamed of their figures, as an ' artist might sigh to place like figures on i'm perishable canvas"
