has often in late years served as a camp

many departed braves, red -skins not red

polis of the natives.
A CHAIUDNO SITUATION.
Nature has done much to render (lode -
rich a moat attractive spot, anti so has
the hand of man. It stands 120 leet above
the level of the lake, with two sides falling
abruptly toward the lake and the river.
Perfect drainage is thug; afforded, and the
municipal authorities have lost no oppor-
tunity of taking advantage of it, the result
being a, perfect system of sewerage, which
carries off the water in an hour or two after

What, is known as The Harbor Park,
is several acres planted with shade and
fruit trees, commanding a grand view of
the harbor mot the great lake stretching
beyond. Here are seats for those who
frequent its itsiting quarters, and on the
slope of the bill is many a coy nook em-
bowered by cedars, where a small party of
picniccrs can enjoy a quiet time "Far front
