RAwLEY SPRINGS Springs, cele-
brated for their medical properties and, curative
qualities, have undergone great improvement
since the last season, in the addition of new
and commodious buildings, making the capaci-
ty of the establishment to accommodate COM
fortably between $50 and 1000 visitors. Last
year they were crowded beyond the capacity Of
the buildings to comfortably accommodate
Yet so anxious were the visitors to avail them
selves OF the water, and enjoy the pure noun
Tin air and scenery that they cheerfully sub
mitted to inconvenience it was impossible for
the management then to prevent. During the
fall, winter and spring, however, they have
been busily engaged in erecting new buildings,
and fitting up the rooms with furniture, &c.,s
that it is confidently expected the demands
of the public will be fully met.

men of large means, business experience and
capacity, who are determined to conduct them
