Editors Richmond Dispatch:
The last days Of a season at the Virginia
springs are usually the most pleasant ana
exciting, and at this place there is no exccp-
ton to the rule. Last night the spirits OF
the guests rose to their fullest height, and
the inerriment Of the evening would have
put to shame the Stercotyped laughter or the
end-man in q minstrel troupe. The young
people embraced in the german and out
whirled the dancing dervishes OF the lndles,
while the calm and dlgnlhed looked Oh up
provingly at the fun.

autumn is beginning to tint the mountain
foliage, thcre is still q -goodly number OF

There are constant interchanges OF clyiii-
ties between the visitors to the Warm, the
Hot, and the Healing; ball at one, g
tab!eau at another, &c. We had Mrs. Jar
ley's wax-works q few weeks ago, got up
at four days notice, during which interval
all hands were busy making dresses. There
was no grand theatrical wardrobe to draw
upon, and no resources but what the ladies
had in their trunks and the caicoes and
ribbons OF the country store. But 1t was
all the merrier for that. A young gentle
man from South Carolina personatedr MRS.
farley; there were ladies OF the Eiiza-
bethian age, and real, tiUe Engilsnman
represented the Earl OF Gloucester. Ai.er
the ;. show' the ball lasted until late In Inc
night, and wound up with grand supper
OF cold saddles OF mutton. hot b'eIsteak.
