Pleasant. It is deemedu nnecessary to describe tie qualities of the water, as thos© who have tasted their virtues think them

INCOMPARABLE!

The water is said to resemble very much 'that of the White Sulphur Springs of Virginia,-^-It is particularly well adapted to DYSPEPTICS, while as a general renovator it is unsurpassed. It has proved

EFFICACIOUS 2

in many ca§es of Scrofula, Erysipelas, Dropsy. &c., &c., fcc. I would add that since the last season I have discovered on the premises Chalybeate water of very good quality.

FISH & GAME ARE ABUNDANT,

aud the alleys and swings will be in good order. Being in the midst of the Mineral region, coal and iron abound here, as also superioi qualities of grey marble, grey granite and grind-stone grit. There are many good locations in the vicinity forthe establishment of Furnaces and Rolling Mills, and a

FINE OPENING

for the first to commence the business here. I would like to have it understood that' I don't want everybody to come at once, for if th?y do, some will have to layout Or be hung upon pegs, for I have not room to hold them all—though I will do tie best I can, aud ether Hotels and Boarding Houses in the vicinity will doubtless be accommodating. Persons desiring to use the bath had best bring their own towels.

The season will close 15th October. Watcr shipped in new good barrels when ordered.
