'There is such a wealth ol hare mountainous, spares everywhere, that the little hill clothed in green, seemed homelike, a rest tepthe eyes, am! a . sign of civilisation. There are few things more beautiful than nrs on rising ground, qude as lovely an any oilier trees, and walking to the top of the hill under file warm southern huh. what a relief to rest in their shade, and get perfect. little pictures, all difl'ercni, of tins town and mountains ami sea. most wonderful in tlie sunset. The City has so mativ attractions, yvrll laid out parks, containing all manner of rare plants.
