where they arc located. The water Is

as bath. In colonial times II was visited
nv the sick and the fashionable. General
w AsHrNeroN, Lord FAIRFAx, CHARLES CAR
RotI, and other distinguished men were
among the frs, owners of lots in the town,
and visited IL annually.
The: next watering places brought to
public notice outside Of their own little
neighborhood were the Warm and Hot
Springs. For many years before other
places were thought of, these two old baths
were the attractions to all who were able
to travel so far. They were the places OF
reunion Of the very best people of the &C.

luton and rough and difficult as was the
route thithcr. they have presented IN earl!
DAYS aSscmhlagcS of as refined and elegant
pcopIc as ever met anywhere, while no
valley ever rang and rc-cchoed the merry
sounds of happier meetings.
/ Later, when first the Sweet and then the
CAV White Sulphur were added, the
springs CocrS always left the mountains
from the Hot and Warm. There they
wound up the gay season, and still that
little valley was the tavorite.
We are gratifcd to learn by the adrcr-
tiScmrnt Of the present proprictors that
the Hot Springs have undergone great
Improvement. The baths are increased

ing, and the range of temperature is
widcncd from sixty degrees to one hundred
