Visiting Castle Ronald.

Every pleasant day, visitors from the
 hotels and the Street climb the hill to I Castle Ronald, examine the massive I structure and stroll about the breezy I grounds upon which it stands. The cas-
 tie itself, which is fast approaching com lpletion is, of course, the first object of
 interest and many and varied are the comments passed upon it. In the ab- sence of balconies soon to be erected ,the windows do not present so finished an ap- pearance and they receive their full share of questions and remarks. But the de- tails of the vast structure are compre-
 hended by few of the scores who visit it.. With Mir Ronalds as guide, the reporter ascended the castle, up through the north arch, then to the floor of the conservato- ry, the roof and out upon the observato- ry. Then, while the host awoke the air with the notes of his horn, the reporter climbed still higher, to the very top of the observatory, which, us yet, consists merely of square framework, raised completed, it will be enclosed in thick glass, with safeguards for those who wish to ascend as far as possible, to en- joy the view.
 And it is grand. To the south and east, the land sweeps away in success sion of broken and irregular undulations until lost in the dim blue distance. The view on the west and north, though more limited, is not less charming and the blue, sparkling waters of Taunton lake are easily seen. Far below is Newtown Street, and, still lower, so low that they clustering houses of Sandy Hook. On every side is unrivalled scenery.
 The eastern wall of the castle is entire ly finished and rises, castellated, from the floor of the conservatory. The west end is being completed in the same style and the side walls will then be carried up three feet above the floor and finished with heavy stone coping. Tight roof boards extend half way up the conserva- tory roof and upon these will be laid me- tallic shingles. Frames of thick glass are arranged beyond the shingles, to ad- init light and heat to the plants below. On the north, the glass will be stationa- ry; on the other side, it may be adjusted as desired. Rain will be carried off by large tin conductors, now being placed by E. J. Hall, which will be built into the masonry.
 After the completion of the side walls, a temporary staircase will be coustruct- ed and the aperture in the northern arch closed.
 Both masons and wood workers are making satisfactory progress and the castle will be enclosed before many days.
