We have received a copy of the Bar Harbor Tourist, an interesting society paper of 20 pages, published semi monthly during the season at Bar Harbor, Maine. In it we see men tioned several persons well known in Aiken, Mrs. S. E. Lyon and family are at Eden field, their cottage there. Mrs. Geo. P. Bowler has taken the Tally rand there for the season. The Tourist mentions what may be a pointer for our people, that is, that high priced cottages in Bar Harbor rent the best. A meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association was held on Tuesday evening, but the attendance was small. No business of impor tance was transacted, and it was de cided to v\ T ait until the next meeting before taking any definite action ; about renting a suite of rooms.

The Bon-Air Hotel in the Sand Hills, near Augusta, will be sold at public outcry on the 22d of August, to satisfy debts against it. All the par ties interested have come to an agree ment by which Messrs. J. R. Lamar and John J. Cohen have been named as receivers, with instructions to sell ths hotel on the day mentioned.
