The cntcrprising mercantile tim Of
Gay a Carpenter contemplate the erection
of a handsome aud commodious store in
place Of the one which their business has
outgrown. Mr. Gay, we regret to say, Is
at present rendered hors IN combat, and
totally unfit for business, because his

Fort Pickens again, from another
Lebanon Springs correspondent:
A wealthy aud euterprising citizen Of
this place, we understand, has lately pur-
chased Il valuable tract Of land withina
few rods ofthe spring consisting Of the old
"Fort Pickens" property, together with
the East Canon or guloh where the But
termiIk Falls" has for ages past tumbed
| the waters of the Wadham's Brook down
| its prccipitous channel on It's course TO
the old Tryon Pond, which so peacefully
! glitters at the base Of the Delta, which
forms the old parade grounds Of the
ancient fortress. To this he has added
the orchard which formerly constituted
part of Capt Babcock's estate, making
location, which the we'll known taste aud
ample means of the present owner, will
convert into one Of the most beautiful and
picturesque private residences in the
United States outside Of the Colorado
country, SO famous for similar locations.
We understand this gentleman Is now
making specifications and getting out
architectural elevations Of an edihGo to be
erected on the grounds, which will be
worthy Of the site, aud stand a monument
Of taste and beauty, which will remain
for ages, to remind Us of the enterprise
Of the worthy proprietor who cOnlcn-
plates these great Improvements, Aroad
| from the north which DO intcuds to build
viii make easy access to the place. which
has heretofore been almost inaccessible.
| But, we hear that he also contemplates
cutting mcandering paths through the
thickcts aud along the preeipiecs on the
South, East and West, 80 that pedestrians
who have the nerve 10 surmouut these
/ dizzy accltvitics, may traverse the
! grounds IN different directions and thus
be enabled to see all the picturesque,
grand, beautiful, aud terrific scenery,
which presents itself on this, until now,
almost une1plored region. We hope the
| gentleman will now explore If possible,
! the secrets Of the "}ulermilk Falls"
which have been considered inaccessible.
1 We have no doubt there are "pot holes
here like those al Cohocs, which contain
remains Of antedilugian monsters, and
liDuo expense may deyclope the fossil re-
remains Of an lchthyosaurus. a mammoth
or lIostaboodle. The ledge. should 81
