ApprsoN, W. Va, August "A person
would naturally suppose that there would
be cessation in the flow OF visitors to
this point - the summer season 10 some.
what advanced, but such Is not the case.

ure and enjoyment and will continue 80
until the middle OF September, and per.
haps longer II the weather continues dry
and warm. In the morning host OF Wis
itors will take their departure, their faces
being notably absent at the Spring, when
the evening will surely bring another
crowd to take their places, and thus II
goes on from day to day. It is said that
this has been

at the Webster Springs. Those who have
made annual visits tell me that IL 10 the
liveliest they have known for several
years. To say who has contributed most
10 the pleasure and enjoyment OF the
yisitors would be making an inviduous
distinction, as nearly every one has con-
tributed their share to that end. Bat the
party from Cincinnati, consisting OF Major

would add pleasure 10 the occasion.
Amusemens OF most every kind have
been INDUCED in. \ series OF concerts or
musicales were introduced, which
would be held first at the woodell House
and then at the Curry House, which were
generally
crowded 70 Oserao~iaE
and seemed to be q sourse OF enjoyment
70 the spectator The best musical talent
among the visitors were generally selected
for the musicale, and on occasions OF that
kind the Cincinnati ladies were not over
looked. Maj or Evans and his party left
for home few days ago. and the memory
Of the = .eassnt associations with them
while here brought forth on their depart
ure .the exclamation Of the beautiful
song;
Some pari to-ni4ht 10 meet N" more.
But surely We shall meet again."
Besides the mnsicales there has been .
series OF dances inaugurated, which have
occurred at least three nights out OF the
weck, and although they were not like the
fancy dress balls that usually occur N the
Greenbri-r White or other fashionable
summer resorts we will venture the asser-
tion that the pleasure and enjoymen!! "a:
