It also gained the First Prizes at the great exhibitions at London, Paris and Vienna, and is unquestionably the best Oil in the world. It is prepared from f i-esh livers, at his own factories on the Nor- way shores, at the place wher j the cod-fish are taken. The Oil is extracted by machinery and moderate heat in a very brief space of time, and a perfectly sweet, pure Oil, free from taint, is pro- cured and bottled on the spot. The Oil thus secured is superior to any other in purifcy, brightness and delicacy of taste and smell. The sale of it is immense in England and on the Continent, and the testimonials of the distinguished medical authorities of Eu- rope and America, quoted below, indicate the high estimation in which it is held by the faculty. ^ jVICLLiLR'S; lyr. X. A. Sayre, Professor of Orthopdic Surgery. New York, says: "Of late years it has become almost impossible to get any Cod Liver Oil that patients can digest, owing to the objectionable way of procuring an i preparing the livers. » • • MoUer, of Christiana, Norway, prepares an Oil which is perfectly pore, and is in every respect all that can be wished." Dr. J. Marion SinM, writes : " For some years I had given up the use of Cod Liver Oil altogether, but since my attention was called by Dr. Sayre to MoUer's Oil, I have prescribed it almostdaily, and have every reason to be satisfied with it. Dr. Ruddockt, M. D.. M. R C. f^., writes: "The Oil we invariably re ommend for it easy assimilation, agreeableness and high nu- tritive value, is MoUer's." John C. Thoroughgood, M. D., London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, says: "MoUer's Oil agrees well with delicate stomachs, and pos ess marked curative properties in consumption," AVott Smith. M. D., North Landon Consumption Hospital, says: "MoUer's Oil is more readily taken by delicate persons and child- ren ; is "more easily assimilated and is productive of more imme- diate benefit than the other kinds are."

OF ALL ^ V^A/:»|il FUORIDAROUTE8 r.-.i i sa'.yr: r.t YhpJ^lPA The season has arrived when the elite and fashion of northern citic s are completing their arrangements prior to departure southward, for the cozy retreats along the banks of the grand old St. John's Eiver, and the ancient city of St. Augustine, that they may escape the severity of a northern winter, for the salu- brious climate of our American Ital5\ It is not only interesting to invalids and tourists, who visit it in the -winter to seek health or pleasure, but its advantages as a permanent residence are now fully established. The present winter will undoubt- edly see a larger number of visitors than any previous season. No American need seek an Italy across the waters when a superior one lies here, almost within a day's travel. Comparatively but few years rgo, the number of Florida visitors did not exceed three or four hundred, principally composed of invalids, whilst at the pres- ent day east Florida is visited by the elite and fash- ion of every section, and the visitation estimated by the thousands. The State is especially favored by the appearance of American tourists, who, heretofore, have indulged their winters in health-restoring climates abroad, and from whom Florida has received its highest praises. From the metropolis of Jacksonville, up the grand old St. John's Eiver, to the cozy retreats of Magnolia, Green Cove Spring, Palatka and points beyond, and especially the ancient city of St. Augustine, one may observe elegant winter mansions and cottages, which during the winter season (December 1st to June 1st) are occupied by their wealthy owners. Whitney's flobida pathfikdeb. Nearly all of our readers are familiar with ttie facts concerning the landing in Florida of Ponce de Leen. in search of the Spring whose waters he believed would restore youth and vigor. Even at the present day thousands are visiting and drinking the waters of the thousand-and-one mineral springs to be found throughout the United States, with expectations simi- lar to those of this veteran. For the consumptive individual — if the visit is ac- complished before the disease destroys the foundation for rebuilding, and for the business man whose brain and nervous system are worn down with busi- ness, over-exertions and care, there is no better medi- cine for relief and cure, than the pure air and sun- shine of Florida, and to those whose desires lead them to the Forest and Stream, there is no State in the Union that extends more gratifying opportunities, as the forests and swamps contain an abundant supply of bears, panthers, deer, wild turkey, quail, squirrel and all kinds of duck and water fowl. Quite noticeable and agreeable is the change that overcomes one while enjoying the climate and sm-- rounding attractions of Florida; one will giadually cast aside business cares and vexations, and under 1 such atmospherical influences, the invalid will gradu- ' ally increase in health and strength, and the over- worked mind of the commercial man steadily recov- ers its former healthfulness. For the benefit of our readers we present a map ol Florida, showing, principally, the location of counties. The Climate. The climate is the principal attraction to visitors ; it is in fact an insular clunate; the Atlantic ocean on the east and the Gulf of Mexico on the west modify the air that blows over the peninsula, making it cooler in summer and v/armer in winter; even in mid- summer the hf at never reaches that extreme which is felt in higher latitudes, and during the year round it WHITNEY S FLOEIDA PATHTINDEK. is the most agreeable and salubrious climato to be found on the Globe. The thermometer rarely falls below 30"^ in winter, or rises above 90^ in the suni- li mer. During the winter, the atmosphere is always dry and elastic ; nearly six out of seven days are cloudless, and during the summer the nights are agreeably cool, it being rarely when one can sleep without the use of a blanket. Fruity Production, Etc. Of the fruits successfully cultivated we mention: — The orange, lemon, banana, fig, j^lum, pomegranate, guava, tamarind, date, plantain, almond, pecan, '/ peach, grape, pine-apple, citron, cocoa-nut, water- melon, cantelope, strawberries; also every variety of garden vegetables. Spanish tobacco, sugar and hemp have been cultivated with much profit. Cotton is the principal production in the northern portion of the State. On the St. John's Eiver, peas, tomatoes and other vegetables are raised and shipped to northern markets. Arrowroot, the castor oil bean, and indigo are easily raised. Tumbull, when located at New Smyrna, raised large quantities of Indigo, which was sold at great profit. The mulberry tree flourishes. At present the cultivation of the orange receives the principal attention. The Florida Orange is admitted by all fruit dealers to be the finest that reaches the market. During the i^ast few years over one million orange- trees have been set out in the several orange sections . Visitors to Florida.

It is liere that the invalid stranger and the vet- eran Florida sojourner rest awhile from the fatigue of theu- journey. It is an enterprising and prosperous city; present population about 13,000. It was laid out as a town in 1822; its first building was constructed of pine logs, covered over with cypress bark. The city is pleasantly situated on the St. John's river, about 25 miles from the ocean, and is named in honor of Gen- eral Andrew Jackson. Bay street is the commercial thoroughfare. The conmierce of the city is extensive. Leading out of the city are fine sheU roads which present delightful drives. There are eight churches of the difierent denomina- tions; Masonic and other Lodges; a well organized Fire Department; first-class hotels — (see hotel list;) three newspaper publications; public hall, library, etc. An enormous business is the cutting and shipping of the Florida Pine; the mills are kept in constant operation throughout the year; frequently the river is dotted with foreign and home vessels awaiting their turn to be supplied. The banking facilities are of- fered by the First National Bank of Florida, and Am- bler's Bank. In connection with this bank is a read- ing room, also a register containing the names of many notable people who have visited Florida for years. Visitors are invited to its privileges, free. Letters received and forwarded by Ambler's Bank. The city possesses telegraphic facilities to nil parts of the United States; the office is located on Bay street. / Steamers for all points on the St. John's liver leave Jacksonville every morning. (See river Steamei-s.) Fernandina. Fernandina wiis built in 1632 by the Spaniards; is located on Amelia Island about fifty miles north of Jackson^dlle. Present population about 3,000. There WHITNEY S FliOEIDA PATHFINDEE. ara seven chiirch.es, hotels, etc. (See hotel list.) There is a fine shell road, of about two miles in length, leading to the hard ocean beach, which offers a fine drive of nearly twenty miles. Located on the north point of Amelia Island, and uncompleted, is Fort Clinch. The city has a telegraph office. Fer- nandina is reached by rail from Jacksonville. Also the steamers "Dictator" and '"City Point" of the •'Florida Steamship Co.," "outside" route to Charles- ton, and the steamer J. B. Schuyler of the "inside" route to Savannah, make regular stops during their trips each way. St. John's River. This grand sheet of water is created by the overflow of the numerous springs and swamps in the southern portion of the State; it flows, unlike any other river in the United States, directly north for over three hundred miles, when turning abruptly to the east, it empties into the Atlantic ocean. IVIany portions of the river are six miles wide, and north of Lake George no part is less than one mile in width; at Palatka the river becomes narrower. The St. John's river is cred- ited with carrying a larger volume of water th m the Rio Grand, which river is one thousand miles long, and in point of width the St. John's river is the largest in America. The many cozy retreats located upon the banks of the St. John's are of universal attraction, and during ihe winter season thousands of tourists from every section are here to be found, forgetful of all business cares, enjoying the pleasures of the trip and compli- menting the salubrity of the Florida climate. On the banks of the St. John's are to be seen many fine orange groves bedecked with the golden fruit; one may also observe the Magnolia, Pride of Lidia, the Pine and other species of trees festooned with long skeins of moss gracefully descending and nearly touching the water's edge; to witness this sight and to feel and inhale the soft, balmy breezes, scented with the odor of the Magnolia and yellow Jessamine, is a coincidence not presented by any other section of the United States. There is a charm attached to the in- cidents of a trip npon this sheet of water — apparently a succession of lakes — that one will not soon forget, especially when contrasted with a winter trip upon the Hudson with its cold, bleak winds. St. John's BlujBf, near the mouth of the St. John's river, is the supposed site where the French Huguenots under Laudonniere erected Fort CaroUne, which was attacked by Menendez in 1565, when nearly all the in- mates were massacred.

The Oclawaha River. This stream empties into the St. John's river a out 25 miles south of Palatka. The channel possesses no banks, it being simply a navigable passage through a cypress swamp. It is here Alligators of immense size and many species of birds with beautiful plumage may be seen. Small steamers navigate the river a distance of nearly 200 miles. Silver Spring, the prin- cipal landing, is 140 miles from its mouth. A trip up this stream is decidedly an odd, yet grand one, and tourists should not fail to make it an object of visit. The Principal Springs. Sulphur spring, at Green Cove Spring, Clay Co. About 35 feet deep, and discharges over 3000 gallons per minute. Fine facilities are afforded for bathing. Orange spring, Marion Co.. on Orange Creek, which empties into the Oclawaha river. The celebrated Silver spring, Marion Co., on the Oclawaha river. Silver spring, same countj^ on the west bank of lake George. Blue spring, Volusia Co., a few miles north of En- terprise, on the east bank of the St. John's, is the larg- est in the State. It forms a wide river of itself. One can readily observe the movements of the fish below. Green Sulphur spring, Enterprise, about 80 feet in diameter, said to be fully 100 feet deep. On the west shore of lake Jessup, there are sevei-al large sulphur springs. Boats drawing over three feet of water cannot enter the lake. In the centre of the St. John's river, toward lake Harney, there boils up a tremendous spring. It has been sounded to the depth of nearly 300 feet and no foundation touched. Ponce de Leon spring, St. John's Co., located on the new settlement of Ravens wood, just west of St. Augustine, is used for its health-giving properties. * Boiling Ocean spring, south-eastern part of Anasta- sia Island, just north of Matanzas Inlet. yraiTKEx's flobida patketndek. 13 Points of Interest on the River. For information concerning hotels at the foUowing points, see " Hotels on the St. John s Eiver. .. MANDARIN, the first point of especial attraetion on the river, is a viUage of about 250 inhabitants It is one of the oldest settlements on the nver. During the Indian %vars, the Seminoles visited it and massa- cred all within its limits. Here located is the Wer residence of Mrs. Haniet Beecher Stowe ; it is the cottage at the left of the pier, and almost obscured by the fohage of the large oak and other trees. HrBERNIA is a pleasant resort located upon the opposite bank of the river. It is quite a resort for ^^MAGNOLIA, one of the most pleasant resorts to be foimd on the St. John's. Black creek is but a short distance to the north of tnispomt. GREEN COVE SPRING, two miles south ot the above point, is one of the most extensively patronised resorts on the river. The sulphur sprmg is one of its attractions; the temperature of the water is about / 8 degrees, and it is clear as crystal. Its sulphurous con- ' dition is quite distinguishable l)y taste and odor. I PICOLATA 10 miles from the above point, on tne , opposite shore. It is the site of an ancient Spanish ( settlement, all evidence of which IS destroyed.

Topographically it is somewhat similar to New York, or Manhattan Island; being bounded on the north bjj^ the main land and on the east by the North river, the harbor entrance and the Matanzas river, with Anastasia Island forming the breakwater, and on the south and west by the St. Sebastian river. For the benefit of our readers we present an original map of the city and its environs. The city is built upon the point that was occupied by Menendez. Menendez gave the name of St. Augus- tine to the town, as he chanced to arrive on the coast Whitney's ploetda pathftndeb. 17 on the day dedicated to that Saint; its previous name being Selooe. On the arrival of the Spanish there were found Indian habitations of considerable size. The population is about 2200. In addition to the Catholic Cathedral there are four churches: Presby- terian, built in 1830; Episcopalian, built m 183^ Methodist, (col.) built in 1846; Baptist, (col.). Good school. Telegraphic and express facilities. A Newspaper publication, the Florida. Press est^h- lished 1870, John F.Whitney, Proprietor. The liO" tel accommodations are unsuri3assed m the fetate. A public library, established in 1873 and located m the ?ear of the old time Spanish Governors Palace. On arrival of the visitor from Tocoi, the first objcc-ts \ of attraction are the substantial bridge that spans the ( St. Sebastian river, and the long and narrow causeway ^ which leads to the city. Formerly the stages took their passengers at Pico- I lata, and occupied seven hours in the joimiey over; , on reaching the St. Sebastian river, where the bridge ^ now stands, the coach w .s driven into a flat boat, and bv means of a rope it was drawn across the river. We frequently recaU the time when the steady arm of the ferryman brought us over this stream, and we stepped upon the muddy bank and wended our way to this quiet nook of Augustine; and how, previous to the completion of the St. John's tramway, we patiently awaited the welcome blast of the Picolata stage horn, announcing that which would brmg us tidings of the outer world. , . .^ , Leaving the causeway in the rear, the visitor enters beneath the foliage of the oak, and Pride of India trees, with the never absent moss hanging m long skeins from the branches. On our right we pass the handsome grounds and residence of A. Gilbert, Esq. ; on the left is the residence ■ and orange grove of Dr. A. Anderson; m the rear of which are the elegant gi'ounds and mansion of Henry Ball Esq. formerly owned by Buckingham Smith, Esq. 18 "Whitney's piiOEiDA pathfustdee. Emerging from this archway, the tourist soon arrives in front of the "Plaza de la Constitucion," and is then in the heart of the oldest and most antique city in America. The Streets. There are four principal streets which extend near- ly the length of the city. The first one passed, on entering, is Tolomato, upon which is located the Catholic Cemetery. The second, St. George street, and is termed the Fifth Avenue of the city. The third, Charlotte street, is nearlj^ a mile in length, and from 12 to 15 feet in width. All of these streets are quite narrow. The cross streets are still narrower. The fourth is Bay street, and conaunands a fine view of the St. Augustine Bay, Anastasia Island and the Ocean. All of the old Spanish residences are constructed of Coquina Stone, a conglomeration of small shell, quar- ried on Anastasia Island. It is covered vsdth stucco, and whitewashed. Many of the houses have balco- nies along their second stories which overhang the narrow street. The old time Spanish houses were flat-roofed. The streets were formerly floored with shell con- crete, portions of which are still to be observed above the shifting sand; in early times heavy vehicles were not allowed to travel upon the same. There are many modern style residences, with elegant grounds, in and about the city, which are well worth a visit. King's road, which leads from the city gate to Jacksonville, was constructed in 1765 by subscription. Elsewhere will be found a map of* the city, also references to the same. The Barracks. This building was once used and designated as the St. Francis Convent. It has undergone extensive modifications and repairs ; the building is located at the south end of th& town near the terminus of the sea-wall, and used at joresent by the U. S. troops. r Whitney's ploeida pathflndek. 19 ^' The Sea Wall. This wall is nearly one mile in length ; connecting with the water batteiy of the fort, it extends south below the U. S. Government Barracks. The original wall was buiit by the Spaniards in 1690, and extended (( that year to the Plaza, and subsequently extended the length of the town. The present sea wall and fort water battery were constructed in 1837 to 1843, at an expense to the U. S. Government of one hundred thousand dollars. Both are built of Coquina stone taken trom the island oiDposite th^ city. On the sea- wall is a coping of granite, four feet wide, which af- fords a delighttul promenade — especially on a moon- light evening when the stillness being broken by the roar of the ocean surf, adds greatly to the romance. The Catholic Cathedral. This is the largest and oldest house of woi"ship ex- isting in the city; it was built in 1793 at a cost of nearly $17,000. Its quaint Moorish belfry, ^viLh four bells, which are set within separate niches, together with the clock, forms a complete cross. The peculiar chimes which these old relics of bells give lorth. the odd surroundings of the belfry, including the interior of the church, render it one of the objects of interest in the Ancient City. Upon one of the bells appears the date 1682, this bell v.as probably taken from the ruijis of a previous chui'ch located on the west K«ide of St. George street. There exist outside of the city gato the niins of an old chapel in which several priests were killed by the Indians; afterward it was sacked and burned. It was called "Nuestra Senora De La Leche, " or ' ' Our Lady of the Milk. " Its erec- tion was the result of a superstition of the Spaniards, / borrowed from the ancient Bomans. ' ' Our Lady of the Milk" is simply the ''Juno Pronuba" of the Bomans, whom the matrons invoked and implored, m her proper temple, to furnish them ^ivith a proper sup- ply of nursing milk for their infants. =?=a WHITNEY S TLOEIDA PATHFINDEK. 21 Reference to Map Huguenot burying ground is located just north- west of the City Gate. 1.

V pies an acre of ground, and has accomodations for one thousand men and one hundred guns. The In- dians were compelled to do the labor of building for over sixty years. Over the entrance to the fort is the Spanish coat-of-arms, surmounted by a globe and cross, while suspended beneath is the figure of a lamb. Around the fort square are entrances into the damp and dismal rooms. The dungeons wherein the skele- tons were discovered are located at the north-east ex- tremity of the fort. On the north side of the fort, leading from the interior square, is the Catholic Chapel; the altar and holy-water niches are well pre- served. The fort walls and watch-towers remain in- tact, but the guns are dismounted and the moat is dry. The fort is twenty-one feet high, terminating in four bastioned angles at the comers, each of which is sur- mounted with sentry-boxes and lookout-towers. At the time of the attack by Gen. Oglethoipe, the fort contained fifty pieces of cannon, ranging from twelve to forty-eight pounds calibre. The moat was forty feet wide and about ten feet deep. Fort Marion is, in fact, a castle built after the plan of those of the middle ages of Europe. Thera is the moat, which was flooded from the St, Sebastian. There are the inner and outer barriers, the barbican, the draw-bridge, portcullis, wicket, and all the appli- ances of such fortifications. The inscription over the fort entrance is as follows : REYNANDO EN ESP ANA EL SENN DON EEE- NANDO SEXTO Y SIENDO GOVR Y CAPN DE ESA CD SAN AUGN DE LA FLORIDA Y SUS PROVA EL MARISCAL DE CAMPO DN ALONZO FERNDO HERADA ASI CONCLUIO ESTE CAS- TILLO EL AN OD 1756 DRI'|ENDO LAS OBRAS EL CAP.

" «cti tne of l^h^%nif^7 engineer having charge of the repairs of the fort and sea-wall, descended into this dungeon, when his curiosity was excited by the discoveiv ta the north-east of a broad stone, diifering g^Ia ly in dimensions and appearance from those ol^ which the wall was bui . He noticed, moreover, that the cement which held this s one in its place differed in composi- tion and appeared to be more recent. On the renioval ot this stone the present dark, dismal, fearful dim- geon was disclosed. On entermg with lights there were found at the west end, two iron cages suspended from hasps m the wall.

Jofin (.apo, (now deceased) an honest old harbor pilot and mason; we have his statement, made personally to us, confirming the finding of the two cages coS 24 WHITNEY S PLOKIDA PATHFINDEB. ing the skeletons as presented in this sketch. From a lecture delivered at the fort by J. Hume )i Simons, M. D. , and afterward published in the Flori- da Press, we quote : ' ' The broken cage, with all the bones, except those which I hold in my hand, were buiied in the saud- mouiid to the north of the Fort. I recognize these as portions of the tibia and fibula (or leg-bones) of a female. " During the Seminole v/ar, Osceola and Coacooch e, {OT Wild Gat,) were captured and confined in the southwest angle of the fort. Coacoochee complained that the cell was too damp and affected his health ; whereupon he was removed to the adjoining one, where an elevated seat afforded him the facility of reaching the grated window above, by mea.ns of one Indian mounting on th:^ shoulders of another. On the evening previous to the night of his escape he re- mained an unusually long time on the ramparts of the fort, where he was allowed to walk daily for exer- cise. He had evidently been taking observations of the manner in which the sentinels who guarded outside the fort were stationed, to enable him to de- termine the safest route to pursue after he should es- cape from the window. This he effected, during the night, so nois lessly, that when th ■■ sentinel, who had paced the whole night before the door of his cell, was about to ope a the same at dawn, Osceola appeared at the grating of his cell, and v/ith a smirk of delight exclaimed — ^"Wile Cat gone." Osceola was after- ward removed to Castle Pinckney, Charleston, where he died broken-hearted. Indians at Fort Marion. These Indians, of the several different tribes, dur- ing the month of May, 1875, were brought from Fort Sill and the Cheyenne agencj^ because of their turbulent disposition and influences over the other tribes in that locality. Among them are several Whitney's rLOEiDA pathtindee. 25 noted chiefs. Tlio majority of tliem express their preference for the climate of Florida over that of the West; and should liberty be extended to them they wordd probably remain in the State. They are peace- ful and appear content in their present quarters; many apply their s^Dare time to the construction of bows and arrows, the polishing of sea beans, and the making of other trinkets which tliey offer for sale among visitors. They are very polite, and on the appearance of strangers, doff their hats and extend their hands with a ' • How." /, The gentleraanly interpreter, Sir. Geo. W. Fox, who has had extensive experience on the plains, is considered cpiite a f vorite among the Indians. The Indians are in charge of Capt. K. H, Pratt, of the Tenth U. S. Cavalry; he is much esteemed by the Indians for his gentlemanly treatment in promoting their comfort. During the vdnter season visitors will be permitted to visit within the fort. City GelO. It stands at the north end ol the city, at the head of St. George street. It is the only relic of a town wall supposed to have surrounded the city. It is a pictm-esqne and imposing stmctur ■. The ornamented lofty towers, the loopholes and sentry boxes are well preserved, and one can readily expend a few moments examining this antique object of attraction. Town Wall. Whether this wall was composed of the same mate- rial as the old fort, or was merely a rough stockade of pine logs, is a matter of conjecture. If a stone wall ever existed it proViably now formes a part of som.' old residence in the city. However, this wall or stockade is supposed to have been built some two hundred years ago. The north end portion of the wall was situated on the south bank of the ditch. The ditch, at the present day, is quite visible, and at one time it connected the moat-water around the Whitney's ploktda pathfindek. fort with the St. Sebastian river; but during the late war all evidence of this connection was destroyed by the construction of the north-west fort embankment. In 1871, there existed on the corner of Tolomato I and King streets, a lunette constructed of Coquina )) stone, from twelve to fifteen feet high, and though it was to visitors an object of attraction nearly equal to that of the city gate, it was removed for personal benefit and chronicled as a city improvement. Yachting, Points to Visits Etc. I] No locality in the State affords finer opportunities r for yachting than the St. Augustine bay. Numerous yachts convey parties to the points of interest. We would suggest a trip to the north beach — one of the :i finest on the coast, affording an excellent view of the Atlantic Ocean. A trip to the sand hills where Genl. Oglethorpe planted his guns and laid seige to Fort Marion; the south beach; a visit to Fish's island; a sail up the North river; a visit to the old and new lighthouses on Anastasia Island. The old lighthouse was built by the Spaniards in 1760. In 1874 the new lighthouse was erected; it is 165 feet high from low water-mark, and is considered onj of the finest lights on the coast. The Coquina quarries are located but a short distance from the lighthouses; the fonnation of Coquina extends along the coast for many miles. A trip to Matanzas is a pleasant one, where exist the ruins of a fortress supposed to be of more remote origin than any structure in the Ancient City. St. Augustine is a favorite resort for members of the j' several yacht clubs of the North, and dui-iug the win- (' ter season, under the auspices of the "St. Augustine ij Yacht Club," yacht racing and other sports are in- dulged in. Ravenswood. |( The visitor having left the depot, passes over the i' causeway and bridge which lead to St. Augustine. ') -. -. -. ,-._^ — . ^_ — j;, Whitney's flokida pathtindek. 27 From the bridge, looking north on the left, will be observed the recently erected dwelling of John F^ Whitney, Esq., the jDroprietor of the new projected settlement of Bavenswood. This is the pioneer residence located upon this tract of over one thousand acres. From its close proximity to St. Augustine, and its sloping, dry and healthful position, it promises soon to become a favorite loca- tion for northerners desirous of building-sites and Orange Groves in the immediate neighborhood of the Ancient City. The prices and terms of sale may be obtained from him at the office of the Florida Press, or at the Mag- nolia HoteL Convents, Etc. The old St. Mary's Convent is an interesting build- ing. It is located on St. George street, just west of the Cathedral. In the rear of St. Mary's Convent is a more recent building, designated as the Bishop's residence. The old Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph is lo- cated on Charlotte street, north of the Barracks. The new Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph is lo- cated on St. George st., south of the Plaza. The Monument erected in 1871, in honor of the Confederate dead, is located on St. George st., just south of Bridge street. The Plaza. The "Plaza de la Constitucion," is situated in the centre of the town. It is smTounded by a fence, with seats arranged for the convenience of visitors. During the early part of the Kevolution, the effigies of John Hancock and Sanmel Adams were burned here by the British troops. Nearly in the centre of the Square stands the Mon- ument, nearly twenty feet high, erected in 1812, in |\ commemoration of tLe Spanish Liberal Constitution. / Upon the east side of this monument appears, in WHITNEY S FLOEIDA PATHTIJSrDEE Spanish, the following, of which we give a translation : Plaza de la Constituclon.

It noAv serves as Post Office, Coiinty Clerk's Office, Public Librarj', and Peabcdy School. Cemeteries. The Military Burying Ground is located just south of the Barracks. Under three Pjrramids are the ashes of Major Dade and 107 of his men, who were massacred at Fort Dade hj Osceola and his band J WHITNEY S FLO J )A PATHFINDEE. The Catholic Cemetery is located on Tolamato street. The Huguenot Cemetery is just north of City Gate. Palmetto Hats, Lace, Etc. The Palmetto hat, when carefully constructed, is the neatest and most serviceable for this section. The Lace made by the Sisters of the Convent is equal to that made in foreign countries, and visitors should not fail to procure a specimen, in remem- brance of the oldest city in the United States. Thermometer Range in St. Augustine. Throughout the year, the Thermometer veiy rarely falls below thirty degrees, or rises above ninety-five degrees. According to the old Spanish records kept at St. Augustine for over one hundred years, the temperature averaged a little over seventy degrees. Visitors to St. Augustine. The following is the estimate number of visitors to St. Augustine during their respective seasons : Season of 1869-70, by stage from Picolata. . . . 400 Season of 1870-71, by stage from Picolata .... 650 In 1871-72, opening of St. John's Eaiboad. . . . 2,800 Season of 1872-73 the travel increased to about 4,500 Season of 1873-74 there were upward of 6,000 Season of 1874-75 the travel increased to 9, 500 Season of 1875-76 the visitors numbered fully . 11,000 Orange Groves, Gardens, Etc. St. Augustine possesses numerous fine orange groves and gardens, and boasts of many handsome winter residences. No other locality in Floridn can present a larger or finer array of winter residences than the Ancient City. In the gardens are found the banana, fig, date, Japan plum, pomegranate, etc. On St. George street, ne ir the city gate, there is a Kose tree, the trunk of which is about three inches in diameter.
