BATHtNe.-Nothing is better calcu-
lated to promote health, especially at
this season, than free use of water
saltwater baths in particular. It would
be well to take one every day I; three
or four a week at least. To meet
want long felt by the people of Norfolk
and Washington Point, Messrs. Tatem
& johnson have established two excel
lent bathing houses at the latter place,
near the ferry bridge-one for ladies
and one for gentlemen. They are quite
spacious and we'll provided with con-
vepiences, and can be reached from
Norfolk in five minutes, via the foot.

to 20 and return. The bath fee is only
fifteen cents, which is exceedingly mod.
crate, all things considered. Besides it
is au enterprise which was long and
greatly needed, and which was estab-
lished at the suggestion of the public
therefore the public should literally
patronize it.

pleasure and brilliancy of the trip. The
party 3roamed at will through our city
during the day, and left on the return
trip late in the afternoon. We conversed
with many of Of them, and they express

fine accommodations afforded by the

who never fail to give every satisfaction
especially on such occasions.
The Colt brought down yesterday 100

The WINE SEAsoN.-The season for
scuppernong grapes, in North Carolina,
will soon have arrived, and we trust
that the yield this yeaz will be album
dant Their qlesiority CT wine
making has been fully demonstrated,
and in many counties of that State the
amount of wine manufactured is very
great. The sooner our people take to
the use Of this native wine, and labor
for it's general introduction, the better
it will be for their health and the lon
gevity of the generation. The manu-
facture of this wine has not yet been in
troduced to any extent in Virginia, but
we hope, ere long, to be able to COM
pete with our sister State both in the
culture of the grape, and the manufac~
ture of the wine therefrom. Won't
some one start a vineyard around Nor
folk Z? Our land is well adapted to the
cultivation of the grape, and there is no
doubt that the enterprise would PAY.
