CROSSHAVEN, CORK HARBOR.- This fascinating, if diminutive, sea-bathing resort lies, snugly sheltered by hill and wood, in the southwestern corner of the picturesque harbor of Cork, at the mouth of the Owenboy, or Yellow river, called in Gaelic the Owen-buidhe. The stream is noticeably for the amber-like color of the waters in the season of floods - somthing quite unusual in Irish rivers, which are generally very clear.
