water Of the spring is one OF the strongest

TIE HICKS HOUSE, APPoMATTox COURT
HoUsE.-Here is indeed place OF interest.
It is two and hall miles from Appomattox
station, on the Atlantic, Mississippi and
Ohio railroad. This is the house where the
late civil war was ended. and where General
Lee surrendered his little remnant OF q
great and heroic army. The proprietor OF
this famous place proposes to entertain
boartiers at "a, moderate rate. IL there be
truth in the ,"sour-appis-tree" !" story the
proprietor will eorroborate 1t, andn there
be not, the information he can give
win contradict it. We cannot remeuber
the delightful district outnside Viz
ginia In connection with sour apples.
There was in our. pleasant intercourse
with that part OF Virginia unyarying
sweetness and bountifnts qualifications;
inscmucn tina. we would rs soon take
chances for peace and plenty in the, very
region where this sour-appie trse is report,
ed to have grown as anywhere else in the
State we confess that a sour-fruit tree
was planted amongst us by ,onr late enc
mics; but let us hope that we shall root it
out in g reasonable time. In the mean time
LET us take dinner with Mr. HICKS and test
the favor Of his appie-pies. See advertise
