view has long been needed, Waer-Cule Estab-
lishment. The Doctors extensive experience in
his former practice will be Of great service in this
enterprise. To those who with Hood can say,
"We have no health in us, We would confident
ly recommend trial of the Doctors treatment
Indeed, we are inclined to think that moderate
degree Of sickness, under his charge, would be
quite satisfaction, We prophecy for the DR.. IN
this enterprise, that success which he 50 eminent
ly deserves.
WE are glad to learn from the proprietors Of
our Hotels, that notwithstanding the present dis
astcis, the prospect is for an unusually large al
tendance Of visitors during the ensuing season,
most of the rooms having already been engaged
Since the last season many additions and improve
ments have been made TO these establishments by
their enierprising proprieiors, which will be sure
to be appreciated by those who so fortunate as
to become their guests.
To those who wish to find q safe retreat re-
mote from wars for their wives and children
during the coming summer, We can say that this
valley is admirably enyironed by mountain de-
fences, while Nature exhibits herself here in her
grandest and most attractive forms.
