from Opelousas, will be opened on the lst OF June

This establishment has been thoroughly repaired
and painted, and many important Improvements
made. A large Stable and two new Baths and
Bath houses have been erected. These Baths will
greatly promote the comfort of visitors as they are
built so as to be absolutely free from rain water
inundations as heretofore.
The mineral qualities of the waters of these
Springs and the many wonderful cures they have
performed, are so we'll known that they only re-
qure passing notice. This Summer resort will
leave nothing to desire this season. the proprie-
ter will spare no pains or expense to render it as
agreeable and attra ctive as possible, He has en-
gagged an excellent Cook, good Steward, and polite

Musicians for the entire season. and besides, as
the Deer abounds in the surrounding country, he

sportsmen. He has also built several boats for fish

Point asa1 Loasps Springs.

sS#A lft undersigned take this mode
fssssMs OF notifying the pub ic that he has lust
sssEsSsP improved this Establishment and he
8aasssss is now IN readiness to receive all those
whose pleasure 1t may be to seek the above as a
place of pleasure and recreation, as well as those
who may be impelcd from indisposition to have
recourse to them for the remedial agency of its
waters. These Springs are situated oh the Bay
GU des Canes, distant about 81 miles Southw est
OF the Town of Opelousas. Among the hume
rous springs there to be ft und, may be had such
as are found abounding with Sulrhur and prcpa-
ratlons oflron. The springs are very abundant,
and IN one instance three fthe streams form a
large basin which affords magnificent bathing
place. The waters of the said basin can be en-
llrely renewed every hour, circumstance which
Is certainly calculated to add much to its purity
At the distance of some five hundred yards from
the principal bathing place there is besides this,
another which is furnished with abundant stream
OF water, the GOODNESS of which can almost be
compared to that Of ice.
lnannouncing the opening of his Establish
ment, the undersigned does not pretendo offer
the same to the public as fashionable Watering
place, where fine dressing may be exhibited with
TIE olher general accompaniments. His object,
on the contrary,ls to offer to the afflicted means
through which shackled constitution may be re-
stored to health. The remedial agency of these
waters IN the relief of Dyspepsia, and in the per-
manent cure of cutaneous eruptions, from past
experience, now stands uncontradcted.
The establishment consists of comfortable
dwellings, with all the necessary furniture which
may be inquired at such place, and the
table will be always amply furnished with what
ever edlbes may seem best to suit the tastes of
visitors. An excellent pasture in which horses
may be kept with safety, will be at the disposition
OF such as may desire it, as we'll as corn fodder.
&c.
The charges of the undersigned will be mode
rate, and he feels satisfied that his visitors will
net only be satisfied with the accommodations
which they may receive, but that they will be also
equally contented with the degree of health which
they may obtain from the healthfu use Of the
waters of the different Springs.
