OF the richest and greenest in the world. 1t
never knows drought. but alwass wears the
refreshing hue of vigorous fertility. The
stream that passes through il from the
springs both invigorates and enriches 1t,
and such another scene Of tecming verdure
| 1t will be hard to fine anywhere else.
| The Sweet Springs are located in lovely
cove, on an expansive scale, half surround
cd hv the picturesque Sweet Spring noun
tain. With its rich lawn, and the fine
| foliage Of its trees. and the bright s,in whose
RAYS dance about them. the scene at the
Sweet is one where the tired man may Sc
rcncly rest and the sick man take In the i'll
| spring and healthy excitement that never
fails to bless him, for it comes from sources
natural.
| Mr.. OLIVER BIERNE, the owner, is gen.
! tlcman both OF refinement and taste, and he
| is proud Of this admirable property, and
sees to il that it shall not suffer by neglect.
We soc that he has employed that prince OF
caterers Captain FREEMAN to supcrintcnd
! for him. and visitors will be eure OF plenty
! OF pepper in their soup. In short, the
Sweet Is one Of the most eXhilarating OF
baths. 1t does a great deal of good to all
who are cnfeepled from over-work or from
apathetic lives, and, indeed, is positive adj
vantage to all who are enervated, 40 matter
| from what cause II is especially efficient,
generally, in cases of female debility. See
advertisement.
| Jordan Alum Springs.
| We return from the sea to the mountains
and introduce to the spriDgs-goer the Jor-
dan Alum Springs, of Rockbridge, six miles
from Goshen depot and near the Rockbridge
| Alum Springs. This watering-place is re-
markablc for its spacious hotel, with its adj
mirablc appointments OF water, gas, &c
For ourselves, we do not like to see city
ways penetrating the country, but it must
| be admitted that the Jordan Alum is very
convenient and very kind to the self-indul-
gent.
! Mr.. JOHN j. TINsLEY, Jr., one OF the
most experienced and conSiderate landlords
OF Virginia. is the proprietor of this ele-
CANT resort. The water is an excellent
alum and has the virtues OF that dcscrip-
ton of curative waters very efficiently.
See MIR. TINSLEY's advertisement OF tue
comforts and conveniences of his establish

The Buffalo H.itl,ta Springs.
| Here we have Il water on the southern Fir-
ginia boundary which has won great fame
in short time. The Buffalo has been long
known, and was for many years before the
war the mceting-ground of some OF the best
people of Virginia and North Carolina. But
its peculiar virtue was not fully brought out
until Colonel GOODS took it in hand. He
directed attention to its wonderful power in
all cases of dsorganiZation in the urinary
-ecrctionS. Some extraordinary cures have
been wrought ny 1t, una it has become
common for physicians to recommend the
Lithia water TO goutical patients, and in GER
tain forms of female debility. The Lithia
water has. where tried, taken the place of
the Gettysburg water. which had its day of
fame for virtues very similar TO those of the
Litha spring of Buffalo.
| The water has also its great efficacy in
eases Of general debility and proStration
from dyspepsia and other causes. The hotr
is located in pleasant country, and is well
conducted There is about as much of the
good things for the table in MecklerbuTg
county. Va, and Granville county, n. c.,
rs can he found in any other two counties
in either State. Unqucstionably there are
excellent people always to be met at the
Buffalo II is reached uia the Danvile rail-
! oil IF tICp mill -
staging, which is Il variety altogether bcne-
| fetal to the invalid, as we have said before.

RawIey Springs.
| This Watcring-placc, near Harrisonburg,
| Rockingham county, Is one that has in store
4 great amount Of benciiccnce for the inva-
ld and for all persons that are weary
and relaxed from oycr-work or close
! attention to professional duties. The
! surrounding country is as wild, and bold
and romantic as any lover of nature
could desire, and the water of the
spring is one OF the most powerful tonics
that can DE found amongst mineral waters.
We know it well. Professor ROGERS pro-
nounced it the strongest chalybeate water
he had ever seen. There is game-deer,
phcasauts, &c.-and trout streams are acces-
sibe. Ii the seeker Of sport chooses to re-
main till the latter part Of September and
the month of October he will have rare
fun in Notwithstanding. The shell-bark
hck0ry-nut trees abound in the Dry River
gap in which the spring is located, and
when they produce well there is n migration
OF squirrels from the Valley and even from
east of the Blue Ridge to the gap, where
they have a glorious season Of feasting upon
the shcll-barks. Then is the time for the
sportsman, and such stews and chowder,
such Brunswick stews as may be made at
the Rawley then are tantalizing to think Of.
When we first knew the place it was rustic
enough: cluster OF log-cabins, and the
ground of nights illumined with lightwood
torches upon elevated boxes filled with red
clay. A man at the Rawley got Il touch OF
nature then, you may rely upon it. Now
they have Il grand hotel Of large capacity,
which is greatly enjoyed by people OF
these times but we confess we hold in
pleasant memory the log-cottagcs, the
Nominations, and the kind of familiar
Intercourse then existing between man and
the wild game OF the vicinity. The phea-
SAINTS then invaded the Springs grounds,
and ueemed tn come there to sin the water,
