all men of wealth, influence and ability, as well
as being enterprising and public spirited, and
with such men, together with the already wide
reputation, Middletown is destined to become the
most noted place in the country. The new Hotel
which is in process of erection, when completed
will be magnificent structure, and the largest in
the State. It's cost is estimated at $4,000 and
bonds to that amount have been issued, in de-
nominations of 500 which are nearly all ssld,
and are secured by mortgage on real estate, in
Guiding the hotel and springs, making them a
perfectly safe and reliable investment The
building is being pushed forward with all possi-
BILE speed, there being some two hundred men
employed. The contractors have agreed to have
it. completed by the first of August forfeit of
81 900 per week thereafter. The hotel has been
leased for ten years by Mr.. Coleman, formerly
of the Astor House New York for sc, 500 per year.
This enterprise is made by the Grays, Clark and
Josln, and through the indomitable perseverance
of those men, will prove a success. No pains are
being spared to accommodate the many invalids
and others who are visiting the springs from diff
ferent parts Of the country, some are being board
ed as last year in private families No case of
injury from the use of the water has ever been
heard of, and no of disease where great bene-
fit has not resulted. The cure of many cases OF
long seated diseases are reported, as are found
among the many testimonials in possession of the
propretors hundreds of unsolicited certificates OF
cures have been received. The springs are seven
in number, and all possessing different medical
properties, and adopted to different diseases.
From the testimonials of many praoticing physi-
clans of different parts of the State, learn that
these mineral waters have not only done all
that mineral water is expected to do, but in
many instances has done what our best medical
talent and skill has failed to accomplish, with the
best remedies they could command, which shows
that mineral waters contain agents, which can
not be initiated by artificial combination. The
various cures which have been effected by the use
of the water furnishes reliable testimony that
nature has developed agency in them that
will relieve human suffering, where medical pro-
fession has failed.
The locality OF the Middletown Healing Sprin gs
is one of the most beautiful in Vermont, if not in
New England. The scenery generally, which is
on the most magnificent scale, combines to make
it a lovely and attractive summer resort, and all
desirable advantages which persons wish for can
be obtained. Situated as it is, but a short dis
tance from Poultney, which has long be-n known
for its literary facilities, and from which stages
run daily, and region where Pile lsure and health
are combined. No place presents greater attrac-
ton to those who wish access to the Springs.
Our visit to these Springs, although short was
very pleasant. Mr.. L. B. Cook, at whose house
we stopped, and through whose kindness we were
shown around the village, and introduced to
some ofthe proprietors, is of the leading far
mers well prominent citizen of the town
and owns one OF the finest farms in that vicin'
ity, it being situated about one half mile from
the village. Several people from the city were
| accommodated at his house last season, and q
number have engaged accommodations for the
present season, being expected about July lst
One gentleman froto Michigan, who is suffering
from cancer is stopping there and using the
mineral water, but had not been using a sufficien
len 9Th of time to receive benefit, but We learned
that many in other families who we've being res
tored to health. Mr.. Cook is a former resident
of Dandy, and entertains his visitors in the high
| est style. Yours etc.,
Dandy, June 18th, 1870. jew
