sHANNONDALE SPRINGS.

THIS healthy and beautiful Watering Place
u will be under the personal superintendence Of
the undersigned during the present summer, who
will use every effort in his power to render it one
of the most attractive and agreeable watering
places in Virginia. 1t is situated on elevation
or spur Of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain, in
the county of Jefferson five miles south Of Charles
town, the county seat.
Passengers leaving Baltimore or Washington by
the morning train of will arrive at Harper 3
Ferry at balf-past eleven M, from thence in the
to Charlestown, where a twelve passenger coach
will receive and convey them into Charlestown
and, If desired, to the Springs to dinner, over q
good road and through lovely country.
The analysis made by the late DR.. De Butts from
one hundred grains of the water from the main
fountain, afforded SO grains Of sulphate of lime,

of mag nesia, (epsom sals,) grain of the muriate
of magnesia, grain murate of soda, g. 10 grains

From the above analysis the waters of Shannon
dale may very properly be classed among the Sa-
line Chalybeates-a combination of the most valu
able description in the whole range of mineral
waters. II may therefore be positively asserted ,
without exaggeration or fear of contradiction, that
no mineral water within the limits of the United
States possesses the same constituent parts or ia
more salutary and efficient purgative, than the

A SINGULAR Casa rather singular case OF
incapacity has lately been brought to the atten-
ton Of the Grammar School committee. BY a
law of the public schools, all the pupils are re-
quired to engage in each and every study of the
school. In one of our grammar schools is young
miss belonging to a most respectable family, and
in every respect bright, intelligent, and most
active and energetic girl, who is wholly unable to
learn arithmetic. Her present master has for
three years been constant in his endeavors to in
struct her in the science of figures, but all to no
purpose, and she now is unable, without hesitancy,
to add seven and four together, while multiplica-
ton and division entirely beyond her power
She seems to be wholly devoid of mathematical
powers, having not even any talent to be cult
waited
In view of these facts, the school committee
has decided to permit this pupil to refrain from
studying this branch she being allowed to be pro-
NOTED after having been kept down for months on
account of her arithmctical knowledge. The
case is)one which has never before been brought
TO the attention of tho committee. The course
adopted>wlth regard to the matter seems how
ever, the most cXpedieDt..
We have case in mind where a family of four
boys attended one of our grammar schools, and
all were unable to learn to spell. The greatest
pains were taken with them, and no trouble spared
to instruct them in the art; and yet after
OF study of six years duration, one of the boys
could not even spell his name correctly. And
yet III every other branch the boys were most ex-
cellent scholars, and would have received medals
but for their spelling Boston Trareller, 25th.

THE LARGEST CONTRACT IN THE UNITED
STATEs.--We have it in power to say it, and
we do say it, with feeling of honorable pride,
that we have now in our city two of the largest
railroad contractors in the United States. These
gentlemen wcl-known citizens of Macon, who
have always been noted for their enterprise, en-
ergy. and public spirit. We have reference to
DIR. Robert Collins and Major Elan ALEXANDER
who, we learn from the recent report of the
Directors of the Brunswick and Florida Railroad
Company, have taken the contract for building
the whole of said road, distance of two hundred
miles, for which they to get over three millions
Of dollars and to finish The acork IN t,oo years. And
from the experience and ndomitable perseverance,
of the contractors we have no doubt whatever of
their being able to accomplish the Job in the time
specified, should unforeseen accident occur TO
prevent When that little contract is finished
we hope they will be employed to construct the
Macon and Brunswick airline road, before they
undertake thousand mile section on the Pacific
enterprise.-G Georgia Citizen.

the Duke Of Buckingham and IN disguise, he went

the Prince the astonishment OF the Earl OF Bristol

lars with their knapsacks, who proved TO be the
greatest prince and the greatest subject in the
world--n short, the whole history of the journey,

fnr a hundred novels in French and English; while
the lovers of the romance III history have read and
re-read the facts of the story. While the prince
was in Spain the great painter Velasquez, then
young man, it is supposed, painted his portrait.
1t is well known that Charles presented Velasquez
with a considerable sum OF money, and the exist
ence of such "A portrait has long been suspected.
A portrait in the Earl of Fife s. collection was

year for forty years, until it into the hands

this idea followed by an almost universal

lost painting, which possesses such peculiar in

mantle stories in the history of royalty. The la
ter history of the painting has been curious and
exciting. The title was claimed by the Earl of
Fife trustees, and the picture has been in courts
of law and the subject of constant litigation, for
several years. 1t is now brought to this country
