The southsidc, too, has its favorits resorts
nestled In the same mountain ranges. whose
bases are watered by the clear streams
which lose themselves in Jackson's and
James river. The chief among these is the
far-famed
RocKsRlpaE ALUM STRINGS, which were
established by the late Jonv FRAZER.
brought into worldwide fame by his bro
Their, WILLIAM FRAZIER, ESQ.,. and now
owned by JAMES A. FRAZIER, the son of the
| founder of the. place. The present propr;e-
tor is young and active, and has had much
experience. So we may expect the Rock
orlaSe Alum to continue its prosperous
career.
No springs nVirginia acquired so sud-
denly great reputation as the Rockbridcc
Alum. 1t has worked some wonderful cures
OF prostrate physical conditions-etfects Of
constitutional taints, dyspepsia, DC. The
accommodations are extensive, the adjacent
country picturesque, the atmosphere pure
and bracing, and the access to the railroad
easy, as the place is only nine miles from
Goshen, on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road.
The introduction Of alum waters to the
pubic is quite modern. They were not
Enncd thirty years since, but they have now
extensive popularity, and the RocKBR1DGE
ALUM has received patronage probably
second only to the WHITE SULPHUR, and
mainly on account Of the healing property
of its waters.
The foregoing places Of summer resort
all belong to the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road system, consisting of the queen of
fountains, the GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR,
and its bright satellites. In the Southwest.
on General MAHoNE's line of railway, there
is another system Of popular healing waters
and pleasant summer resorts. Prominent
amongst them is the
WRITE SULPHUR, Of Montgomery county,
rcposing in the very bosom of the main
ridge OF the Allegheny range of mountains.
1t is one mile from the Virginia and Ten
ncSscc railroad, from which the passenger
is conveyed by horsc-ralway into the
hotel.
The buildings and accommodations of
this watering place are admirable. The
fare has always been excellent. Indeed it
can hardly avoid being good, so rich and
hountftll is the country that surrounds it.
For the advantage Of prompt communca-
tionS 10y rail and telegraph this watering
place is highly favored. 1t has been gene
rally remarkable for it, gaycty and bright
ness. and has always enjoyed extensive
popularity. We dincd near the spring in
%. when it issued from a gum, and was
only visited by the neighbors. 1t was about
to be established upon Il large scale by
liberal and wealthy company. This was
promptly done. and until the war the MoSTz
GoMERY WHITE had 4 great run. Since the
civil strife it has been gradually recovering
lis early iaIle aud success. The present
season. under the active management Of
McSSrS. WILSON d LoRENTz. promises to be
one Of unusual success and activity.
We close this notice with brief reference
to Il summer resort OF a widely different n,-
tire from the foregoing a saltwater hotel
and bathing place.
THE OCEAN VIEW HoTEL. near Norfolk, Is
