TrRzE sraNGs.-Bu>iness last week having called
the writer to this neighborhoo3, he concluded to
pay this justly celebrated watering place a short
visit and having spent two days most pleasantly
there he cannot refrain from giving his testimony to
the great attraction the place presents making it,
what it was most popular summer retreat.
IL is easy Of access from Nashville, less than
hour by railroad to GoodIettsviile. and thence by
omnibus over a fine ROAD pleasant ride Of two
hours The buildings very extensive, containing
over one hundred rooms. all Of them of good size

The springs are opened rlls season under the care
of Mr.. T. Z. 5. BUsswURg. vho has spared no pains
or expense to make it a most comfortable resort for
all those who visit the springs this season and his out
lays and preparations deserve a much better return
than he Is receiving The establishment is well
supplied wiki good servants tle table is most
excellent tine best the writer has met
with IN any place OF the kind in Tennessee.
He was greatly surprised ut the excellence of the
pastry. iue-creams cakes, &c., which however, was
easily accounted for when he found SARAH E5TILL
presiding over that department. If our citizens
wish to spend few days pleasantly out OF The city.
they cannot do better than to take the afternoon
traza IN the EdgeieL Railroad to Goodlettsyille
where they will mad an omnibus with good horses
and an excellent driver to take them to the springs.

The writer was informed at Tyrces th2. the ST.

style. Ii that fact had been generally known, as
well as the superior accommodations that can be

engine and carried mp Cedar % Vine. and from that
point water was thrown a considerable distance
over the dwelling house at Wr. EiuBluu while it
threw a horizou,a. steam @ considerable distance.
The fact thai the water was forced through six hun
drcd and fifty tctlut hose. and kept Up a constant
stream for at least hal. IN hour which could have
been extended 10 any desired length of time-and
winch could nave been thrown upon a three or four
