We cannot expect again to see there ex-
ac.ly the sort of society that once graced
tbe plaza and halls of the White Sulphur
but should there be assembled in those
charming places body of men who can,
while they promote their own health and
comfort, consider the impaired condition of
the boly polite and determine on some
thing to strengthen the tone Of its digestion
and promote its vigor, we shall find o happy
consolation in our universities for the: alb
scnce of the forms and graces that once
adorned the Mecca of health and fashion. ::
The staging to the Springs is shortened
nine miles since last year, and nine of the
worst miles in the route. The staging that
remains is over o fine road, and really old
fogies like us would not dispense with that
twenty miles through the Alleghanies in a
stage; for as matter ofhygiene, q stirrer
ND of our blood and the better impulses
physical, it is Indispensable Nisno great
tax upon even the churl to traverse that
twenty miles, inhaling the while the sweet,
est air, and gazing upon such foliage Of
fairies delight to shelter in and dart theil
bright glances through. .,es Il. 80 s.tI
To descend to the practical concerns Of
this notice, it is stated IN the advertisement
that Mr.. J. B. TINsLEY, a young man more MOI
than ordinarily skilled in the profession
of providing for and bestowing travellers
comfortably, is engaged by the Messrs
PEYToN to travel in the South as their agent
He is popularity known here, and should b'
favorably considered in his southern expe
dition.
Besides the White Sulphur Springs, thu
reader will find that very popular place, the
CANON Springs, of Hampshire county, ad
yertised in the Dispatch. This remarkable
watering place is seated amidst the COO
recesses of the mountain streams that pay
tribute to the Potomac. The bold waters
that are drank and afford the fine baths Of
the place gush out of sandstone mountain
at romantic gap which supplies endless ntat
interest to the curious spectator The water wal
itself is powerful Alternative, and has
effected wonderful cures. A singular FAC
indicates its remarkable virtue. 1t destroys
the bots in horses. That may not impress
the gentle reader but we opine that {
water which is itself pleasant and apalata
Bile. and which yet does what nothing e els
will do that we have ever heard of, withou
killing the patient, must have some extraor
binary virtue. E si ly2os .

confirming ourselves to another sort OF ami
NAL, the Capon water is o great curative
and the bath one Of the finest in the world
The place has been in other years the re
sort for the finest society of Virginia. Win
chester contributed its refined, bright, ant
charming circle; while from the iUppe
Piedmont, and Maryland and Baltimore
there came throng of guests not e e1 cell
for social virtues and refinement.
