Our people who have gone to the sea
shore for season Of outing, will be glad
to have the clouds lift and the drenching
rains subslde, Though clouds and rain
are so often r lief from the sultry
heat. We can imagine the cooling sea-
breezes coming in from the ocean upon
those at Hampton Beach on the eastern
coast of New Hampshire. where some
have gone, viz, Mrs. ]. G. Houghton,
daughter and child, Mr.. and Mrs. q. d.
Hall, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce Of South
Salisbury, with Misses Sophia and
Anna Park Of B .nnington. This beau
tiful Beach. " though but eight miles
direct from Newburyport, Mass, is by
railroad about twenty, and is about six
from the popular watering place, RYE
Beach" From the far famed "Boar's
Head Hotel" here, can beseen nine light
houses from as many distant points in
and upon the ocean, among them the
twin lights upon Cape Ann. the reYolv-
ing light upon one of the Isles of Shoals,
and the one upon Boon Island. II is a
pleasant locality in which to spend few
weeks OF the warm weather of summer
as the company is not generally Of the
fast kind, needing to have the nerves
excited by stimulanJJ which in the end
are facilitating, but of those who are
seeking for the healthful air of the sea,
which builds up and gives real and las :
ing strength.
