After a brief sojourn at the White Sulphur, here

until the Season is over. Where is the luxury Of
locomotion when the thermometer is at 90 deg.2
could mover see the sense Of jostling in stage

unpacking, just to pack up again when You are
comfortably fixed But to return to these springs.
For good fare, clean bedroom, a comfortable hair
mattress, pure dry atmosphere, elegant and re-
fined society, a spacious ballroom excellent mnsc,
and for such as require it, the use of the sulphur
water in every variety of combination in which it
is found, there Ia probably no watering place in
Virginia superior to that from which write yon.
The analysis Of these springs made by
Professor VIM. B. Rogers and DR.. Stewart, Of Bal
timore, are said to challenge comparison with any
mineral waters in the world, whilst their thcrapeu
tic properties and effects abundantly attested
by the hundreds that visit them every season.
Above all, there is certainly place which have
visited, where the same amount of mdteriet is as
well employed. Nothing is wasted or misapplied.
Everything and every one, on the contrary, seem
to contribute, in some degree to the great object
of the travelling community in the summer, which
Is social intercourse and enjoyment
Here widows and married ladies, instead Of play
ing the part of walfowers, or mere "lookers on
In Vienna" are seen to vie with one another as
they ought, in lending grace and elegance to the

must not omit to tell you / paid flying visit
to Lewisburg, where the Supreme Court of this
State Is now in session. OF the Virginia bench, as
well as the bar, il may well be said at this time,
Non s,int Quales erant. To this il is true, there
are some exceptions, but they are very rare.
Judge A., the present president OF the Court OF
Appeals would have done honor to the judiciary
in its brig test days. Next to him, perhaps, may
be ranked Judge D., who 80 worthy wears the
errnine that was worn by his distinguished sire.

it's ! understand that the practice Of making
long speeches Is not only proyerbal but has become
quite nuisance In Yirgnis, and it goes far to nc
count for the alleged degeneracy both in the bench
and the bar Of that State. It needs the two
hours rule established by the Supreme Court Of
the United States to lop off all excrescences and
to produce that condensation of thought and
language, which Is essential to legal eminencc Of
