THE SUMNER RESORTS.

Rock ENON SPRINGS July I, 1879.
Editor Star:-Rock Enon Springs have been,
think, literally and POLITICALLY written up,"
but not the uay hither, as am aware. When
/ was informed that seventeen miles Of the way
had to be Travelled by stage, was, in view Of
the reputed bad roads of Virginia, quite ap-
palled, and half determined to abandon my
purpose OF making Rock Enon my resort for the
season; but, happy now that became more
courageous, wish to impart somewhat of my
heroism to others who may be equally inter-
ested by saying that the seventeen miles from
Winchester was the most comfortable and de.
lightful part OF the way-the road was, much OF
of Washington, and hundred times more H.
teresting to city-wearied eyes. The scenery
was beautiful-often grand-alOng the Great
North Mountain, while handsome old Virginia
uriant foliage and thrifty gardens Of fruit and
flowers. Indeed, the enjoy ment, to us, seemed
worth the price OF our excursion tickets to Rock
Enon, and prepared us to enjoy this cool, shaded
retreat OF crooks and much water" and the
pleasant society here. Already there are a
generous host. OF his generosity and wish to
give pleasure to his younger as well as older
guests, he gave us yesterday-the Fourth-as
fine an exhibition Of fireworks as we could have
vidual expense, I am told. A new piano has
just arrived for the ballroom. Among the
guests well known In your city are the follow

list OF the fugfttyes from justice in Texas, from
which It appears that these outlaws now mum
Der between four thousand and five Thousand
Ol this number S51 were guilty OF murder ana
liar industry which the law recognizes as korso
stealing, and which Judge Lynch, In other
localities, often summarily Furnishes, Is repre-
stealers number 541. Hog stealing also appears
TO have been extensively practised, that bfancn
