NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY 18, 1858. OUR WATERING PLACES. SHARON SPRINGS. If there is one spot more than ano‘her which I re- ‘Visit with pleasure, it is Sharon. It possesses fea- fares which the corrupting influence of fashionable associations can never destroy, and which will ever render it a favorite haunt with those who love na- ture for her own sake, and not for that of the arti- ficial attractions with which it is sought to invest her. Let land owners and hotel keepers do what they will to pander to city tastes, their works must be ever subordinate to those natural creations which impart to this beautiful mountain retreat the charms that render it preeminent amongst our Ame- rican watering places. No where in the world can finer scenery, a purer atmosphere, or more lovely drives be found. With the val- ley of the Mohawk ontstretched beneath us on ‘one side and a range of verdure clad hills, command- ing equally extensive views, om the other, no one who has really a taste for the calm enjoyments of country life can fail to find here resources sufficient to fill up his time and thoughts. For the last few days the weather has been rather unsettled, heavy rains arriving opportunely to re- fresh the parched earth. During last night, aud up to twelve o'clock this morning, an immense amount ef rain has fallen, and yet at the hour at which I am writing (two o'clock) almost all traces of it have disappeared. This shows how much the soil must have been in need of moistare—a fact of which we were already made aware of by the loud com- plaints of the farmers. ‘As y@t the season hére wears rather a languid appearance. The number of guests at the hotels, it is true, exceeds that of the corresponding period Jast year, but it must be remembered that last year ‘was an unusually hard one, and that to compensate for its shortcomings the improvement should be a marked one. As yet, 1 can see no evidences of this, but the hotel keepers do not seem at all discouraged, appearing to think, on the contrary, that the arri- vals of the present week will decide favorably the character of the season. There is certainly no place of summer resort which, leaving out of question its natural attractions, @eserves more encouragement than this. The pro prietors of the public establishments seem to be in- fluenced by a proper sense of their duties towards their guests, and not only maintain tables which are ansury for their excellence, but keep down their prices to the lowest limit compatible with a fair profit. Thus, at Sharon, for your dollar and a half or two dollars a day, you can live as well and enjoy as much comfort as at any of the first hotels in the country. There is, of course, a ** fashionable” house in the Village where you pay higher rates; but although it is admirably kept, it in no way surpasses in the quality of its cuisine, or in its other arrange- ments, the other establishments. There is one thing that helps to keep up the character of Sharon as one of the most progressive of the watering places. All the leading hotels are in the hands of the members of two or three families, who have intermarried with each other and have therefore a common interest in pulling to- gether. As there is no motive for unfair competi- tion, their efforts seem to be directed to elevate the general character of the place, instead of eudeavor- jug to ran each other down, as is the case elsewhere. ‘The result of this wise policy is of course highly ad- vantageous to all, and every year that [ come here its fruits become more manifest.

There has nothing in the shape of public amusements here since the commencement of the season. On Thursday last the first hop came off at the Pavilion; but it was rather a lame atfair, as in deed the opening nights generally are at most of these places.

A party of Germans began to play at cards in one of the public sitting- rooms, and when remonstrated with by the proprie- tor, on the groand of its being offensive to the no- ti of some of the persons in the house, they man- ifested their resentment by leaving the establish- ment and going in a body (about fifteren in all) to another house. Now, whilst disposed to concede to every one the privilege of passing bis Sunday as f that we are rapidly ap- he pleases, 1 do not think that the condnct of the eons in question is to be justified on any ground, The y had no right to comp: se the interests of the hotel by making this pubiic display of a practice which by most persons in this coantry is considered an objectionable, if not an immoral one. They had the alternative of retiring to their rooms to piay their game, when they found that it led apiaint,and they were unreasonable in visit- the establishment the consequences of their retion. It is my belief, however, that these ns would not have been beld enough to run so r to a natural religous prejudice, if it had not for the indignation created by the efforts of the ne to curtail all the inlocent Sunday en- {the working classes.

Before we left Union Hall , we heard of a romantic occurrence which took place in its draw- ing room the afternoon previous. A young lawyer from New York,.of the name of C——, met a very handsome young‘woman there, to whom he was 'en" derly attached; yet his attentions the parents were disposed to discourage. The meeting was at first of avery reserved character, and did not attract any attention on the part of the guests. But presently the scene between them became more animated and tender. Forgetful of the circumstance that they were observed, their manner towards each other soon changed. He began to be more and more earnest; he clasped her hand, and then wrung his own, He threw his arms around her, and gave her two hearty kisses. Tears fell from her eyes, when suddenly they both started up, rushed out of the room into a carriage at the door, which rapidly bore them away from the cruel ‘‘parients” to the house of a clergyman, who is understood to have made them one. Some of the old tabbies at the house were very much shocked at the scene, and nearly fainted away. The younger spectators, on the contrary, were much edified, and think there was no harm done “what- somever,”” Taking the freight train at ome o'clock and twenty minutes, we found ourselves in a sort of an emigrant car with two wooden seats—one on each side. Trunks, car lamps, tools, , Screws, and all sorts of car fixings occupied a portion of the space,and we were snaked along behind sixteen freight boxes on wheels. The company, for some reason or other, dis the use of this run by travellers, and will not put on the usual accommo- dation. They are, therefore, obliged to take an early or a late train from Saratoga; and if the latter, they do not reach the lake till nearly twelve at night. Seventeen miles from Saratoga they are transferred to post coaches, and the whole expense of the journey is about $2 20. Our decided course proved to be the best. The rains of the previous day had laid the dust, and gave a brighter tinge to grass of the fields and ‘oliage. The crops looked sag Rater and we passed man; tg ec wheat, corn, rye and oats. At Fort Ed: we took a private con- veyance, which cost us but little more than the regular coach, and had leisure to examine all the points of historical interest on the route. This place has preserved no relics of the fortifications there during the two wars, its site is known. It must have been a most gloomy it, though in fact an important one. The Fanjuis de Chastellux, in his American travels, in which he relates many anecdotes of the Revolution, (he accompanied La Fayette to this country,) says it was drearier to the French officers stationed there than the most inland post in France. It was also the camp of General Webb io the French war, at the time Montcalm was operating t Fort William Henry, and it is now generally ‘itted that through his pusillanimity the fort was lost. But more of that hereafter. We Sand, Hill, which is a pretty, picturesque village—a differ- ent place from what it was when Jacob Barker had his bank there, and Benjamin F. Butler redeemed his bills for him in sixpences and iron ore, and com- ane Soest on Sundays by attending “ the stated preaching.” The people thereabouts have not forgotten Benjamin, 1 assure you, The next stopping place was Glenn’s Falls, a locality made meworable in one of Cooper’s novels, which every hotel keeper in that region offers you as a guide book. ‘The falls are seventy feet high, but consist of a series of steps of various sizes and forms; and the water, while Trot fers a beautiful series of pictures to the eye of the artist, turns many a grinding wheel “ with many a ta making fine mantel pieces out of stone. Yood and marble are spore chawed up in large quantities. There is an excellent hotel here on the site of that once kept by a famous French cook aud caterer, Mr. Trois Maisons, or ‘Three Houses,” as he styled himself. I wonder if the old fellows of New York who used to go up to Caldwell have forgotten the timely refreshments they used to get at the house of Mr. Three Houses ? The road from Fort Edward to Caldwell is a plank one, and we bowled along in the finest style. We next got out to view the monument to Colonel Wil- liams, at the road side, erected by the students of the college,.which he founded. Losing has pre- served all the incidents of the disastrous battle; but his sketch of the rock, like the view of the Bloody Pond, are by no means accurate. We examined this spot in which so many of the defeated slain were pitched by the victorious Frenchmen. It is fuil of the white water lilly, and the ladies at the hotels at the lake are in the habit of driving there to get wreaths to deck their hair forthe balls. At an early hour we reached the hotel, a very large and elegant- ly furnished establishment. ms are airy, and the beds and bed linen so clean and comfortable that they are the very places probably spoken of in Bryant's “Thanatopsis,” where men may “lie down and have pleasant dreams.” The house is lighted by gas. We have lake trout and bass ia quantities, fresh from the lakes, and I ate to-day some slices of venison, just killed in the mountains close by, as fine asanylever saw. We havea very good band of music, which plays several times a day, and never so much as takes ‘a bars rest.” Then we have the ex- citement of the daily arrival and departare of a beautifal little steamer and the regular evening gun. One of the great wonders in these parts is that of the woman who has lived twelve months without eating. Mr. G.,a gentleman of honor, well known in New York, who spends his summers here on a large property of his own, has been to see her within a few days, and I , almest verbatim, the account 1 had from him. is wonder is a young married woman, twenty-eight years of age, ot the name of Hays, residing ina little shanty about sixteen fect square. She has had four children—the last born is dead. She is good looking. She lies in bed, attend- ed by her husband, who has spent all he was worth in paying doctor's bills. ey occupied a small farm until she became subj to the spasms under which she is prostrated. face, hands and feet are like those of a wax doll. Her cheeks have color, bat her pulse is feeble, and sometimes seems about to cease forever. When she has these attacks her breast and neck rise up and forma mass or colamn which fill up the space ander her chin. Her head falls back #9 far as almost to disappear, and she becomes a fright- fal object. her spine forms a complete arch, like that of a posture ter. The medical faculty fight shy of and the people in the country ask for “massy's sakes, why don’t they go and tend to it, and tell how the gracious she can live in that country, for they can't.” Twenty-five cents admission fee is charged to visiters, and the amount received by her hus- band thus far, aceording to his account, ia but about $50. This i» the story as I heard it. Where's Barnum? A meee term of Court is now sitting here, and it furnishes the bar and bench with a chance to ventilate themselves. In my next | will endeavor to do the historical a little, and I must be quick, as Judge Hay, of Saratoga, is writing a history of the lake, which promises to be very valuable. Those who were here to-day saw the lake under very favorable circumstances. Daring the morning ‘there was a storm of rain and mist, which came and went like a dissolving view. The mountains were constantly changing their hues. In the afternoon it cleared up, and we had before us a mirror as clear as crystal set ina golden frame. But I must stop.

The lovers of American lake scenery are begin: ning to muster at Caldwell, We had large arrivals from the North by the Minnehaha last night, and the heart of Mr. Gale rejoiced at the accession to his numbers. 1 think there was an extra charge in the evening gun, but the proprietor paid it out of hisown pocket. “What is to be seen besides the lake?” asks the stranger who arrives here. “Much every way.” The hotel we ar stands on the site of Fort Wil- liom Hi erected by Sir Wm. Johnson in 1755, after his battle with Dieskau.

Among the pa rs of the French Canadi Colonies preserved ‘aris, found by Mr. Brodhead, our historical a was a logue between Marshal Saxe and Baron Dieskau, a sort of dia- logue of the dead, in which the master de- manded of his pupil how he came to be defeated. The replies to the various questions are Dieskau’s vindication of bis conduct. It is a curious document, and certainly thns tar has escaped the attention of our book makers and magazinists. The Hgraup, then, is the first paper which “has the news.” Sir William improved his success, not by following up the blow at Ticonderoga, as it is be- lieved he should have done, but by erecting Fort William Henry, which work occupied the remainder of the year. We cannot now judge so well of the propriety of this proceeding. Certain it is that the post commanded the approaches to Albany by the way of the lake, and overawed the Indians in the vicinity. The memorable events connected with it are the two attacks made be it by the Marquis de Montcalm, the last of which was successful. It is said his approach was a magnificent spectacle. Nine thousand men came down lake in boats and batteaux, among them some of the most famons re- giments of the French army, which had sigmalized themselves on many a bloody fleld in Europe, and were led by officers of distinction. The sun shone on their banners and glistened on their bayonets and spears. Military music was re-echoed from the surrounding hills. The troops landed near the site of the t Lake House, and the seige was conducted in the most scientific manner. Colonel Munroe,a brave officer, deported himself with great faee , but was shamefully deserted by General Webb. Montcalm was in fact about to withdraw, when, having intercepted a letter from Webb to the Colonel, informing him he should not and could not assist him, he seut it into the fort with a flag. Its commander felt it useless to protract his defence any further and capitulated. The famons massacre of the Pious by the Indians followed the surrender, and has been the subject of execration ever since. The French destroyed the fortifications, and they were never rebuilt. Port George was sub- sequently constructed iu its stead. The next yearthe expedition under Lord Howe and General Abercrom- bie sailed from this Peo to attack the enemy's posts at Ticonderoga and Crown Point. A very large force was collected for the purpose, consisting of nine thousand regulars and nine thousand provin- cials—the largest army ever before collected on this continent or perhaps ever since—splendidly equipped in all particulars. As you well know, the expedi- tion failed disastrously, foiled by an inferior force. The death of Lord Howe dispirited rather than ex- cited his men, and they returned to the head of the lake. Alongside him, as he tell, was Lieutenant Colonel Van Schaick of the provincials,an Albanian, and afterwards the commander of the First regi- ment of the New York Continentals in the Revola- tion, during which he distinguished himself by a successful operation against the Oaondagas, and by his personal bravery at the battle of Monmouth, at the head of a brigade. He received a wound in his face at the attack oa Ticonderoga from the butt end of a musket, the effects of which he felt to the day of his death. But this letter is gitting to be too long. It is now more than a hundred years since these great events occurred , but their monuments remain, and are the most rem: of any of that period left us in this country. Now the carious traveller wanders over their remains with a melancholy plea- | sure. Youth and beauty linger around their graves, pluck the wild flowers from their grassy tombs, and ‘hen rush back to the hotel—to dance the “Lancers.” Paullt.’s Balloon De: re Mercary, Jaly 17.) seed over our city last evenin [From the A balloon Siery tween six and seven o'clock, passing in a soatherly | direction. The ascension was made trom New York, by Mr. William Paullin, who has made over two han- cred verial voyages. The balloon, which was of large size, attracted very general observation from those of our people who happened to be in the streets. After passing as far south as Elizabethtown or thereabouts the balloon was taken up by another current and drifted slowly northward, sailing di- rectly over the Hill im a line patailel with High street. At times it was very near the earth, and seemed about to land, As it sailed along, backed by the crimson and gold of the westera sky, the sight was beautiful in the extreme. In passing over the western part of our city the balloon nearly tonched the roof of Mr. Robert Dod's be gene which a number of ladies were gathered watching its pro- gress. As the balloon rested over this point the party could readily converse with the wronast, who concluded, however, that even the attractions there gathered should not detain him from the further prosecution of his voyage. The balloon descended pear Roseville within twenty feet of the ground and then again ascended and sailed off in the direction of Bloomfield.

The explosion seemed to take place within the heater. lostantaneously it glowed as if it had been burning in a crucible, and a volume of suphurous smoke rushed forth and filled the entire upper portion of the vestry room, in whieh it stood, with a smel] accompanying it resembiing that cansed by the burning of gunpowder. Two persons who were sitting on a bench near the heater were seriously shocked, and a number of others who were awaiting the e of the storm were very much frightened. The sharp, quick report which followed the descent of the bolt was heard in all eections of the city. There is little doubt that but for the lightning rod upon which it struck, the church stee- ple would have been shattered and the building pos sibly burned— Troy Times, July 12.

By the arrival of the Austria we have London papers to the 3d: the leading points of the news, however, have been anticipated by the Canada. Both the French funds and consols experienced a slight decline on the 2d. A meeting of aad in- fluential shareholders in the illinois Central Railway was held on the 2d, to consider the position of that undertaking, in which a suddea and unexpected call of 20 per cent has been made. It was resolved to form a committee to communicate with the New York board, so that the parties interested on this side may escape being misled for the future. Tt was also resolved that one of the members of the com: mittee should be deputed to proceed to New York by the next steamer, The syock was selling at 23a 29 discount—say 72471.

The bears seem to be discovering that the reports of the gold at Frazer river are not so fanciful as they have supposed, and are consequently more prudent in putting out contracts below the market price. Judging from the experience of the first California excitement, one might well expect Pacific Mail to go over par before long; unless, indeed, there should be apy foundation for the whispered rumors of finan- cial mismanagement. There was a sale of Milwaukie and Mississippi Railroad at 17}—another decline of a half. We believe that this is one of the best built roads of the Weat, and one that is well calculated to pay; the financial embarrassments under which it labors, and from which its extrication seems doubtful, are doubtless the cause of the re- gular decline. Delaware and Hudson sold at an advance of 3; great confidence is expressed in the prospects of this concern. There was less business than usual in State securities, though we note a rise of } a 2 in Missouris, and ja 4in North Caro- linas. Many transactions are reported in La Crosse land grants. They opened strong at 32}; but the market being over fed—probably by the parties who have been selling out so freely latterly—the price declined to 31, seller fifteen. It is denied in some quarters—though vehemently asserted in others— that Governor Randall has, or is likely to, come to any understanding with the company which will accelerate the issue of the desired certificate. That the August interest will be paid, however, seems quite certain. After the board the market was dull, though without change in prices. There was no second board; and at one o'clock or thereabouts most of the prominent brokers left the street. ‘The exchanges at the Bank Clearing House to-day were $17,423,420 23, and the balances $1,512,072 03.
