The age of a horse is now more easily
told by his eyes than teeth, in this way
After a horse is nine years old wrinkle
comes over his eyeliJ, at the upper corner of
the lower lid, and every year thereafter he
has a wrinkle for each year over nine. If,
for instance, a horse has three wrinkles, he
is twelve; if four, he is thirteen. Add the
number of wrinkles to nine, and you will al
ways get it. So says writer and he is con-
tident it will never fail. AS great many
people have horses over nine, it is easily
tried.

4 MODEL VIRGINIA SUMMER RESORT.

OF all the States of the Union the Old Dominion most
abounds in mineral springs. Scores Of them Of more or
less value have been made accessible 10 the people our
hot and dusty cities by the long lines Of railroads which
traverse that State Nearly all Of these springs are
situated in that elevated region where the Aleghanics
divide the waters which seek the through the Mis-
ssppi and the Gulf Of Mexico from those which find an
outlet in the Chesapeake. T
The magnificent scenery, pure air, and natural adj
vantages Of these resorts suass any of similar
character in the United States. They furnish waters as
powerful and ecacious any in the world for the cure
OF all sorts Of chronic naladics They are now of easy
access the old stage-coach having yielded to the Ios
motive.
The great drawback TO these places has heretofore
been the want Of energy, capital and taste upon the
part Of their propreton They have been made as 70
pulsive possible by the ignorance and parsmouy of
their proprieors Complaints have for years been Justly
made of the wretched accommodations at those places
nvalds and pleasure seekers have filled the land with
horrible accounts of the confortlcss cabins dirty beds
sovcnly dining rooms and execrable cooking at these
springs. tfssts.as
We are pleased that at some of these really magni
cent mineral springs capital energy, and architectural
taste have at last produced marvellous changes We

din-like transformation Of tho OLp SWEET SrnIxos

This watering place is situated n the midst of the
most beautiful valley of Virginia. surrounded by noun

miles from the White sulphur Springs and its baths are

Burke, in his work the mineral springs of this coun-

scribe, his enthusiasm would carry him to the third
heaven He would imagine his body immersed in

DEATH OF GENERAL QUTTMAN.

The telegraph surprises the country with the an
nounccment of the death of this excellent and gal
liant man. The demise occurred at Natchez, in Mis-
sissippi, on Sunday last, and was produced by a
return of the fatal disease contracted at the Ma
tional Hotel, here, in the spring of last year.
Custom cnjoins upon us recital of the leading
incidents of tho life of tho deceased but there are
few men in the county whose memories stand less
in need of the usage. For who are not acquainted
with the life and services of Gen. Quitman
He was anative Now York, in Duchess county,
whence he emgrated to Mississippi at an early age
There, in the of tme he amassed large for
tune and won distinction and name such as few
citizens Of his adopted State enjoyed. lie held OK
treme views politician, commencing life as a
wing, embracing, in the course Of time the peculiar
politics of Mr.. Calhoun subsidipg from these views
into the extreme doctrines and feelings of what are
known the school of southern extremists
None doubted the sincerity of General Quitnan's
political convictions or his readiness at any moment
to putle and fortune to the hazard in their defence
He was determined enemy of our present neutrai-
ty laws, and his speech two or three years ago in
opposition to them is marked with very great ability,

voice was not suitable to oratory, and opposed an
insuperable impeachment to his achievement of very
great distinction as popular speaker.
He appointed by President Polk as Major
General in the army during the war with Mexico ;
and his distinguished services in the Mexican cam
paigns are familiar topics among our populace, as
they matters of honorable record in our history
General Quitman has discharged the responsible
functions ofthe craftsmanship of the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs for three sessions of Congress,
and his loss will be especially felt in this depart
ment of congressional duty. He was held in high
personal esteem by all bis fellow-mcmbers of every
political opinion, and he always heard in Con
gross with dcferential courtesy and respect. He
died at tho ago of sixty-one.
