WARKENros SpRIsGs.--We saw gentleman
this morning, direct from the White Sulphur, near
Warrenton, Virginia, who reports only about 50
visiters AZ this popular watering place. A report
was started in the early part of the season that
the small pox was prevalent in Warrenton aud the
adjacent country, which had the effect Of keeping
q great many visters away, who would have other
wise visited there this SIMMER. The proprietor of
xhe establishment says that he has received least
90letters from different parts ofhe country regard
to hereported unhealthy condition Of the surround

had the tendency to injure the business of that
generally well attended and highly popular public
summer resort.

few moments wrapped in flames. The ladies' of
the establishment take this method of returning to
those gentlemen who stepped forward to preserve
their property, their heartfelt thanks.
MORE TROUBLE AMONG THE CoNsrrrUrIosALs."

known as English Hill, near the corner OF Third
street and Massachusetts avenue Bricks, sticks,
and stones were hurled without number, and
nsual supply Of ciaret wasted, mingled with visible
streaks Of bad whiskey.

by late passers-by intermiugled with curses, both
loud and Deep from the dodgers therein, who
are under the especial charge ofthese unwelcone

proach, their proximity would be more bearable.

that company was preparing to attend the funeral
of one of their deceased members, two youngsters

ground.
