TROY. Haying has begun in good earnest
and the music of the moving machine is
heard on every hand. The hot wave that
has been visiting us for the last week is
just terrible. 1t has almost made life
burden and yet it has not been so hard for
us as for the denizens of the heated cities,
for we have had some cool breezes sand
wiched in for our benefit 80. The Methodist

IsLEsBoRo. The summer visitors have
been coming in large numbers daily since
the middle of June. All the rooms at the
Inn were engaged for the season some
months ago, and on June Goth twenty-six
of the cottages were occupied, and by July
4th, about dozen more will be taken.
Among those occupying cottages here for the
first time are j. S. Dennis, j. W. Brannan,
P. " R. Van Wyck, II. K. Sloane,-an of
n Y, and some six or eight more from
other places, as, for example, r. M. Lewis
of Philadelphia, w. ii. Howard, and |
r. D. Sears of Boston. Also Mrs. Harriet |
dent Buchanan and who presided at
the White House while her uncle was
in the Presidential chair. Three other
New York families are here for the first |
Shaws, Wakefelds, and Dolbys |

visitors represent much wealth. The
Sloanes, it is said. are in some way connect
ed with the Vanderbilts. They brought
with them nearly dozen domestic servants,
besides sufficient number of men to put the
stable, carriages and horses in order. Some
of the horses are very large and beautiful.
Twelve men are required for their yacht.
Many of the cottages are built close to the
shore, among the trees, and on rocky head
lands, or in small bays or coves, where ma
ture furnishes most of the decorations.
But some cottage lots are so that they can
be greatly beautified, and Mr.. Henry S.
Howe has spent thousands of dollars upon
hi grounds, which are indeed very beauti-
ful....A good deal of real estate has lately
changed hands, some having been bought
some bonded. Work has begun on a new
Catholic church on a lot recently bought of
Mrs. Regina G. Boardman, and a few rods
north of her residence. 1t is to be so feet
long and about 40 feet wide. :. Children's
