Beauties Of the Sound-Hunt,ngto Light.


Allow me- through your valuable journal, to notice
that beautiful place on Long Island Sound called
Eaton's Neck, about fory-hve miles from this city,
whereon stands the Lighthouse, known as Hunt
ingon Light" which is kept in unsurpassing bril-
ancy by our worthy friend Capt. Benz. Downing,
than whom more efficient selection could not be
made.


In the summer of "A |, had frequent occasions to
pass the Sound, and being generally on board of
some of the packet sloops that coast along the
Island, the time at which we passed this Lighthouse
was unavoidably some of the dead hours of night,
when said light always shone with splendor, equal
indeed il superior to any other on either shore
from Plum Island to Sands Point In the month of
August last past with my friend DIR. B, spent
few days at this place, (Eaton's Neck,) and must
say that never was better pleased with any country
place ever visited. There is plenty of good fish
ing splendid beach for sea bathing a fine chance
for sailing, an invlgorating sea breeze continually
playing around, and above all the magnificent view
presented on the Sound on either side, and as far
as the eye reach, by nnumerable snow white
sails passing to and fro upon this mighty arm OF the
ocean, together with the beautiful appearance of
every surrounding object, while the sun is making
his golden set beyond the shores of Connecticut
makes this desirable spot for any OF Mr.. Down
ings friends who may wish TO spend few weeks
in pleasant and healthy situation.


Free from the noise and strife
