There are several splendid estates
between Guildhall and Brunswick.
The lands extend to the river, and
show that they are admirably cultivat-
ed, while the houses, we'll painted,
commodious, and graceful, seem to
be happy homes for their owners. But
we passed not few houses which re-
minded us of the Masters veritable
declaration: "The poor, we always
have them with you" There were
the diminutiye, implanted huts, with
their small, unprotected windows, in
to which the sun poured its almost
torrid rays. Instead of a chimney,
there is stovepipe thrust up through
the roof. Miners in the Black Hills
erect such structures for themselves,
while waiting to strike gold, and call
them "hard times houses" Though
we discovered fair collection of cur
iosities of physical nature, we noticed
only one marvel of human nature,
while we struggled onward, towards
our place of rest. lie was an old,
weary looking man, who supported
his bent limbs with a caue. And
while we rode by him, he glanced at
us with wistful eyes, as if he wanted
to ask who we were, and what we
meant by disturbing the serene still
ness Of his neighborhood, by our rat
Ting vehicles. His suit reminded one
of Joseph's coat. because it was made
up of garments of different styles
and shades. Perhaps he is a relative
of that good uncle of whom Josh

At half past twelve s'clock, our
cavalcade of carriages stoppe | at the
piazza of the Spring House. And
we were hidden winning welcome
by the genial proprietor, DR.. Rowell.
Applications of water soon removed
the dust from our faces, while brush.
performed the same refreshing service
for our clothing. AID soon, we were
prepared to look over the beauties of
this health-giving locality. The
house itself is of generous size, and
presents fine appearance, from the
road. On the lower floor, there is a
conveniently arranged bath room for
invalids and the chambers are large,
and extremely we'll ventilated. The
parlor is neatly furnished, being stu
ated in the second story Of the house,
from which inspiring views of noun
tain and forest, the Grand Trunk r.
r., and the distant villages can be
obtained. A pretty pond is situated
in front of the establishment, which
affords facilities for boating and the
roads can be made available for,pleas-
ure nrivihg. The copious springs OF
water, which are the chief attractions
possess real medicinal properties.
They are proving to be very valuable
for the cure of special diseases to
which they are adapted. and are be-
coming more and more popular every
season. DIR. Hayes, the celebrated
Boston chemist, has carefully analyz-
ed the water from each spring, and
pronounccs it to be OF superior quail.

its low prices, and its nearness to the
railroad station, will combine to make
it favorite resort. And its proprie-

Our party ate most enjoyable
dinner in nook near the hotel. And
the ladies merit honest praise, for theil
delicious, satisfactory cooking. We
