WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
July21 1850.
Messrs. Editors:-For some weeks have not
had the courage to attempt such an undertaking
as writing to the Enquirer. I could enumerate
many reasons, either of which would be sufficient.
Nothing to write about, no business items to re-
port the weather too hot either to think or write.
The only subject which could suggest itself
was the weather; and it would be very difficult
to find words suited to description of that, for
some weeks past am like the man who was
hauling apples up steep hill in cart He had
nearly reached the top, when his cart dumped,
and away went his apples, rolling and bouncing
down the hill. Some boys who knew the apple
mans custom of using hard ,oords, ran up to hear
him swear; but he only held up his hands, gave
a whistle and said: "Well! have nothing to say;
can't find words for the occasion" Now that's
my opinion Of the westher-there's no use talk
ing about it.
The dry hot weather down about York and
Chester, is enough to make you turn your
thoughts to some way and place to be relieved Of
the tedium of the season. Do like your corres-
pondent-come up here, and board awhile with
Mr.. Robards, the proprietor Of the North Caro-
lima White Sulphur Springs. Here is one of the
best Sulphur Springs in the United States; and
Mr.. R. is just the man to make you comfortable.

before you to satisfy the appetite; and every
variety of amusement which could be desired,

Mr.. Robards will have good dinner ready
