CAT this season, one hears almost every dag
Of the house warming Of a villa 10 some

Of the bes; pretexts possible for gv'ns par

most of the entertainments given at this sea-

patch," writing from these Springs, remarks
as follows:
I'VE have the Rev. Mr. Wyncoop, Of WI
mington, Delaware; Rev H. \. Wise, Jr, of
Aexaudrla: Row NJ Eski'. of LoudJun;
Rev. Mr.. DuIin, Of Eastern NirginIa Confer
ence, and Rev Mr.. Snod .rass, oi Mississippi.
They are not idle during their SCI urn here.
We have daily prayer and t%o sermons on
Sunday. Last Sunday we bad sermons by
Messrs. Wise and Snod grass. | d!d not b. ar
the latter The discourse Of Mr.. Wise was
very remarkable effort, and surprised his
audience, or at least that portion OF 1t which
had not heard him before. |: was one Of
the mos; flushed specimens Of lulpit orat,ry
| have heard for many day, add, what was
better, it was admirable FIR the vein OF pure
religious feeling and true Christian doctrine
which ran through it. My own view Of it is
sustained by the criticism OF a gentleman here
who is more competent than ! am to criticize
sermon The effort Of NJ. Wise was GER
tainly the finest ever heard from so young
mao. In personal appearance and man
ner, be very closely resembles his father,
Gov. WISE H. does not appear 10 De IN
vigorous health, though he looks not to be in
delicate health amomg the guests assembled
here. Ii is to he hoped that h. wllI grow
strong as be grows elder; Ior he viii MAKE
his MARI, and be an ornameut Vi the church
to which he belongs"
