ALetter From NIiAdlet0Syn.
MIDpLErowN, w., July %

MDDLETOwN, W., July 70.
Mr.. Editor,-Having spent few days
at the Healing Springs in Middletown,
partly for recuperating my health, and
partly for business purposes, I thought
inasmnch as you and myself were old ac'
quaintances, that few words from me at
this place would be acceptable.
You are aware, as is every other intel
ligent journalist within hundred miles
of here, that some six or eight months
since, reports of marvellous cures by the
Middletown waters had got into circula-
ton in all this region round about, and
claimed to be supported in many instances
by certificates under the hands of the per-
sons themselves thus cured, in others by
credible persons knowing the facts. You
are also doubtless aware that no small de-
gree of excitement was created in conse-
quence of these reports. and that large
portion of the people in this section who
had not then had the opportunity of testing
the waters, regarded the concern as a
DduUlc tudl WOuiu soOh pulobs
But how stands the matter to-day
The marvellous has in some degree wore
off, but the efficiency of the waters as a
medical agent is established beyond a
peradventure. People are coming here
every day from all parts of the country,
some find a STOPPING place here, others go
to Poultney or to some place in the vicin-
ity where they can be supplied with the
waters. Preparations have already COM
menoed for extensive boarding houses,
which the parties expect to have in readi-
ness by another year. With the present
limited accommodations, between two and
three hundred have found places, at the
hotel and private houses in the village,
and some among the farmers while per-
haps hundred and fifty more are at the
hotels, Ripley Female College and other
places in Poultney and vicinity. for the
purpose of getting the benefit of these
waters.
OF the visitors at these springs, very
large proportion are invalids-a larger
proportion than at any watering place
ever visited by the writer. Some are dis
ppointed-they do not obtain the hoped
for relief-but many are benefited, and
some are cured of distressing maladies.
We have conversed with many of the
unfortunate invalids who have been here.
In one respect their testimony is univer-
s4l-thev all say the water improves their
appetite, and all concede TO the virtues of
the water. and while many can see but
little improvement in their health, many
more claim to be nearly or quite restored.
With our own experience and the time
we have taken for observation, we have
come to the conclusion that the Middle
town Healing Springs are firmly estab-
Iished, and for long years to come will
prove blessing to the invalid who shall
avail himself of the waters.

DIAMoNDs.-We had the pleasure yes
terday afternoon eff examining the stock
of goods on hand at the store of Clarke
Brothers & Adams, who keep full va
riety of all the leading and best articles
in the line of watches and jewely, from
the cheapest to the highest variety, and
all the qualities to suit the taste or wants
of purchases. They have recently added
to their stock in anticipation of the wants
of the public large quantity of glittering
diamonds, having now on hand diamonds
to the value of five thousand dollars.
Some of which are of the most excellent
character, suited to every variety of taste,
1t is a rare thing to see such display in
the country, and are a novelty well worth
the examination of all, especially of those
that may desire to make purchases. This
brilliant display of varieties are on ex-
hibition at their store, corner of Mer-
chants Row and West street Call and see
them, it will well repay visit, for $4,000
worth of Diamonds are not often seen in
Vermont. They keep also large stock
of watches, clocks, jewclry, solid silver
and plated ware. Hair jewelry made to
order, and all repairs promptly attended
to and substantially done.

Superscription of Letters.

Filter RRtland HerdH: a your paper
has the largest circulation of any in the
county, would like to say few word-
through its columns in relation to the
practice of addressing letters 10 be trans
mitted through the mails.
1t is very common practice, and one
which is very annoying, not only to post
masters at the Office of delivery, but to
persons addressed, TO address letters TO
married ladies by their Christian names
thus, Mrs. Sarah Jones' Now it often
happens that there are several Mrs. Sarah
Joneses, whose husbands, John Jones,
James Jones, etc, each have boxes in the
Office (; yet the postmaster does not know
which Jones it belongs to. Consequently
he must guess and inquire and If John
Jones looks into his box and finds nothing
there, James Jones does the same with
like result, and perhaps Mrs. John Jones
and Mrs. James Jones do the very same
thing with the same result, and some day-
after it is ascertAined upon enquiry that
there l. a letter Tor Mrs. - tr.h Jones
which should have been put into Tho box
% John Jana-, and tho In-tma-t.r gets a
good scolding because "this letter has
been here a whole week, and We have
been at the office every day. and il i
marked, please forward too :" and all
this because postmAsters are supposed to
know the Christian name Of every mar
ried lady within the delivery OF hi, Of
flee.
The writer has had experience ia this
matter, having found four married ladies
with the same name wit1in the delivery
Of his Office, and letters universally me
addressed TO their Christian name. Hence
the delay and scolding, until, by study
ing the postmarks, and becoming seine
what familiar with them. be becanc IN
abled to distinguish between them with
some degree Of accuracy.
Now, ladies and gentl, men. II yal dir
like delay, and appreciate proml'nr-- in
delivery of letters-to say nothing Of con-
venience to postmas;ers-please make q
note of this article, and hereafter address
