What . blessed privilege to exchange the
blistering, sweltering city for this cool, UNI
brageous valley, 80 snugly nestled within the
| sheltering arms of old North mountain, with
| its delicious air, pure that which "angels
breathe" and crystal fountains, which he who
quaffs
Feels his fresh blood dance lively in his veins"
A more charming retreat to while away the
long slumberous summer days can scarcely be
imagined. Imprisoned and walled around by
castellated heights, Whatever ''smacks Of noy-
ance or unrest is closely barred out and
somehow q home feeling creeps into the heart
rendering life one of immeasurable satisfac-
ton. While the lover of the "dolce far nienti"
Of drowsv. dreamy languorous ease may find
here veritable Paradise. yet there is no lack
Of pleasing attractions to the devotees of those
happy diversions and social joys which "cheer
but do not inebriate." Never could this popular
resort boast of a more complete accommoda-
ton, and, q natural consequence, of more
distinguished and numerous company, and up
to date the successful season is noteworthy for
its varied round of amusements-fancy balls,
musical soirees, Rotations, jolly straw rides
and picnics, the celebration Of walters deco
ration day, and last. but not least brilliant
theatrical performances from classical Shakes
peare down to the latest and broadest farce of
the day.

From the ''madding crowd" of guests who
throng the parlors and riazzas, together with
the grand carnival that seems to prevail,
should pronounce the season to be at its high
water mark, with no prospect of an ebb until
the close of the summer vacation compels our
adieu to charming Rock EnOn and its genial
host
