CRAB ORCHARD, KY, Aug. 2s.-The
season is now drawing to a close, and soon
the gay and festive scene will be shifted to
other theatres Of action. The bellies and
beaux who have figured 40 oonspicuously
as characters in Summers play, will
have shed their gay plumage, thrown aside
their Mosques and once again entered into
the duties Of every day life. The grand
old halls Of pleasure, that have for months
past reverberated with songs of love and
pathos, with laughter gay and joyous, and
dancing feet and happy faces, will have
lost its lustre and be in reality "some ban
quet hall deserted" Nothing left but the
fond remembrance Of the past, and happy,
happy days Of the season Of 1882. Will
they come again?
When you take into consideration the
cold and rainy season, and difficulties in
many shapes that had to be overcome to
make it success, think all will agree
that it is wonderful. 1t is useless to expa-
tiste upon the good management OF Gen.
Robinson any more than has already been
done in your columns. Suffice il to say,

correspondent, he now avails himself Of
this last opportunity to express in words
that come from feeling heart, his graft

almost brotherly treatment he has received
at his hands, and to assure him that in the
future, nothing on earth would give him
more pleasure than in some way, under the
guidance of Divine Providence, to be
able to prove his gratitude. The same
may be said to and Of Col. w. G. Welch,
Of your city, "Q,Iantum Sgf" A good
General is always more or less indebted to
his staff officers for success, and this is not
an exceptional one. Gen. Robinson has

acted his part nobly, both in and out Of
the Office, and is fully appreciated by all
who have visited here. Give TO him all
the credit he deserves. Mr.. Andrew Egg.

lice force and guardian of our welfare both
night and day, has faithfully discharged
his arduous task, and is entitled to the
many friends he has won, and is eminently
worthy Of promotion. The parties who
purchased could not leave their property

attention to duty and untiring energy, has

In fact may say that without him and
his efficient assistant, Mr.. John Newman,
the Springs would look to many Of us as If
one of its main stays had given away.
