CAPoE.-The arrangements for the accom-
mediation of a greatly increased company OF
guests at the CapOn Springs this season are
said to be on a magnificent scale, and the en- !
gagements of rooms even 80 early, have been
such as to lead to the impression that Capon is
about TO rival the Greenbrier White Sulphur
In sayety and other attractions for the usual
summer migratory population. Of course the;
establishment is destined to be visited by an
increased nuraber of invalids also; for the
waters of the spring have come to be acknowl-
edged the country over, as being unequalled by
any others for the alienation an cure of the
particular class of chronic diseases for which
the faculty recommend them.
