Ono WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGs-The un-
preeedeuted success of this watering place the
first season of opening has led the enterprising
and public spirited proprietor, Mr.. ANDREW
WnsoN, to make extensive arrangements for
the accommodation and comfort of the largely
increased number of guests whom it is reason
ably anticipated will resort thither the coming
season; which viii open about the first of juno.
Over q hundred workmen have for some time
past been engaged on the premises, and the ex-
tensize improvements commenced last fall are
rapidly approaching completion under the ope-
rations of this large force. It is evident that
the White Sulphur is to become the Watering
Place Of the West and as it is located in our
county, our citizens feel a just pride in its sue
cess. We copy the snbjoined notice of the
establishment, its proprietor. and the improve
ments in progress, from the Csneinnazi Gasste
of Tuesday:
ONO WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGs-Fora brief
time past, we have had premonitions of the
long, sultry summer days now near at hand
Not many weeks hence, the customary fitting"
Of the season viii commences among the dwell
lers In the city; and it is already agreeable to
think Of the pleasant country retreats and COM
Portable watering places whittier the tides of
travel win ere long turn. Such resorts, wheth-
er for health or pleasure, have become indispen-
sable, and those who have been at the expense
and painst to provide acceptable places of the
hind, within q convenient distance, are public
benefactors.
Tt Is but recently that efforts have been
made IN this State, Oh an extensive scale, to
supply this want Decidedly the most success
full and promising undertaking Of this sort, is
that projected by Mr.. Andrew Wilson, of this
city, and fully demonstrated to be feasible, last
season, at the Ohio White Sulphur Springs
This year, numerous notifications have been
made, greatly enlarging and otherwise impro-
wing the buildings and grounds at that beauti-
fl location. About twice a. many can now
be accommodated there as at the last season.
New walks and drives have been laid out, many
additional buildings erected, the former enes
enlarged, the baths reconstructed, and a variety
of changes made for the better, which will I'M
doubtedly render the place a point more a~ttrac
tive for crowds Of summer ,sejourners during
the coming shot term,
For invalids, every facility is provided for
the use of the mineral waters, in bathing or
otherwise. The medicinal properties of the
several springs -four in number, and all essen
TALLY different from each other@ have been mi
set forth by DIR. Norman, of the Vir-
ginia White Sulphur, and by DR.. w. W. Daw-
son, of this city, both of whom have given the
careful and continued attention. A
pamphlet containing ful particulars on this
head-including a scientific analysis of the
waters by Prof. E.S, Wayne, of this city,
with a variety of general intelligence
in regard to this excellent summer resort, in the
centre of our OWN State, has been published by
Messrs. Anderson, Gates and Wright, and will
be read with much interest by those desiring
fuller information on the subject. :
Some of the most important improvements
made by Mr.. Wilson for this year are worthy
Of more particular mention, in this connection. I
Telegraph Office to be kept open during
The season, has been established at the Springs t
Ia convenience that will be duly appreciated q
BY all. In the way of buildings, a large hotel,
cottages, bowling alleys, bath houses, a !,
laundry, &c. have been added. The new |
,otel is more than two hundred feet in length, Il
containing elegant parlors, suites of rooms, re-
and a commodious dining-hall.-
A large room for evening amusen1ents has also
,een provided.
e A method has been adopted for heating the
water, for bathing, in the bath-tub, avoiding l
he loss of important mineral ingredients as
lnder the old system of using a boiler or tank. v
The grounds have been extended and much s
improved in their appearance. The beautiful t
,roEe of about one hundred acres, belonging to e
premises, has been laid out into attractive f
walks and drives. The lawn has been enlarged r
farther beautifed by trees, walks, summer t
&c. A drive, two miles in length, has
seen graded, around the estate. The surroun- a
ling country also. which presents rare and va c
scenery, is t~raversed by good roads, afford Fl
ng ample inducements for more extended air G
ngs. in the carriage or on horseback. il
No pains will be spared, we are sure, to
make the ~sojourn Of visitors at the Ohio White t
Springs agreeable. The hotel viii be
lnder the superintendent of Mr.. Sweeney, a
of experience and of special fitness
the position. Excellent fare, combining the
secular Injuries of the country no Less than ]
# the city, may be expected. as well as polite !
nd assiduous attentions.
We have spoken thus freely of this enter
not only because we believe it to be III
rinsically all we have claimed for it, but also v
because it is emphatically a home interest, and .
s such W. desire to see it encouraged. All h
he advantages sought in travelling to distant s
places may be secured within our own borders, p
md ct comparatively moderate cost. Our citi- Q
ems, we doubt not, when they rightly under q
tand the merits of this Tor any other similar) v
to serve them, IN their otce State, will '
ZEE that such enterprises are sustained, and T
maintained upon a f~rst-class footing. .
