opened on or before the 1st Of May next for
the reception Of visitors. Each year we hear
of the complaints of travellers with regard to
the accommodations and the absence Of those
re6nements which are inseparable to celebra-
ted watering places. The chief aim of those
doing business in the valley has heretofore
been to make money regardless of the comfort
or pleasure Of the visitor and visitors after
having seen the principal objects of interest
were glad to get out of the valley, the induce
ments offered by the Hotels being of acharac-
ter so meagre as to force them TO leave before
they desired to. This will partially be obvi-
| ated by the presence of Mr.. Smiths Saloon

New STAGE CoxpANY.-The stages of the
Peoples Accommodation Line ceased running
on the 31st Of October, and will not be start
ed again until next Spring. The object for
which it was started has been attained, and
the line has proved more successful than was
anticipated at the time it commenced run
ming. Notwithstanding the predictions OF
the old stage company and those favorable to
it, that the new company would break
down in two weeks, and then reduced the
fare to.two dollars per trip to and from Stock
tor, the new line has run daily during the
past five months with the fare at five dollars
per trip, and at this time has on hand
two good stages with stock for the road, and
owes no one dollar that it is not able to pay
The object has been to establish cheap fares
and to accommodate the general public, and
all the principal business men of the county
have given it liberal and active support
We have had cheap fares during the past five
moRths, and no accidents of any kind have
occurred. The Agents and employees of the
new line have been polite and accommodate
ing. The driver Mr.. Woodruff is one of the
most skillful and careful drivers in the State.
The stockholders have reason to congratulate
themselves upon their selection of board OF
Trustees who have so successfully managed
the affairs of the company, the Board being
composed of some of the most substantial bus
mess men of the county. The rains having
commenced and the trave, having diminished,
the Trustees deem it for the best interests OF
the company to draw of their stages for the
winter, and will be prepared to set them run
ming again in April next, when it is to be
hoped it viii be as generally patronized as ii
has been this Summer.
