Summer Resorts on the Romm.

The summer resorts on the Monon Route are more than usually popular this year, West Baden and French Lick Springs, in Orange Co., are overflowing with visitors, and the hotels have all they can do. Paoli, the county seat, has opened" a rival sanatorium, which is well patronized. The waters of the various springs differ materially iu their constituents, and are successprescribed for a great variety of maladies. The woods in the neighborhood abound in game and all the streams teem with flsh—some of them having been stocked by the government flsh commission. All indications point to West Baden (and the neighborhood springs) as the great sanatorium and popular summer resort of the west. Cedar Lake, forty miles from Chicago, is a favorite picnic and outing spot where the Monon has a line wooded park of nearly 400 acres. The fishing is first rate.
