Climate of the North Carolina Resort.
AsHEvILLE. N. c., Feb. 24.-Editor
of THE ARGUs.-The mountains of
North Carolina have attracted the at
tention of invalids for many years,
as possessing unlimited resources, in
the ozone of their atmosphere and
nectar of their running streams, for
restoring and building up failing
health. The air and water are in
deed pure. and the elevation such,
that this region is named The Land
of the Sky" Asheville is situated
upon a group of hills. surrounded by
chain of mountain peaks, which re-
cede il irregular order, the most
distant the highest, which encircle
/ the city like pinnacled wall, on all
sides. Three hundred peaks are Wis
IDLE from the city of Asheville. The
largest hotel, Battery Park. is To-
Gated upon the highest point within
the city limits, and commands a fine
view of the mountains.
Natures Inducements.
There seems to be an entire lack
of valleys, as though the hills had
been marshalled in solemn conclave
and the commander of Natures
mighty forces had failed to invite the
valleys to join the company. Nature
has provided every inducement to
the man or woman who is in pursuit
of health, and the inevitable accom-
paniment of good health, happiness,
life-giving air, pure water and charm
ing scenery. Enterprising compa-
MES and individuals have supple

posed to have been settled to the satis-

Mr.. Smith for $1,000. The friends Of
the latter gentleman who know posi-
lively that his loss was high in the

frauded by one or more sharpers, and
very naturally were considerably
wrought up over it.
