Mountain Springs” really exist* so fsr down
the country, and that it should have lain there
so long, unknown or unuoticed.
Last Saturday we met some of the friends
of Sir. Yonoe, at this place, to participate in
a sort of a pic nic at the Springs. Even the
luxurious tastes of our host, as exhibited in the
richest viands and the best wines, liquors and
fruits, werealmoat unappreciated by his friends
on their first arrival—for every eye at once be
gan to feast on the tempting beauties wClch
on all sides surrounded and rejoiced us. First,
a grand mountain, through the aides of which
bright, white marble of an excellent quality,
protrudes; then to the left a flat, level, low-
ground area of forty acres, covered with huge
and towering beeches, elms, oaks, pines, pop
lars, gums and their associates of the forest—
beyond them another grand mountain, 150 feet
above the flat land ; and bard by, a spring as
bright and clear as the sun’s own beams, surg
ing out of the fissured marble, boiling and bub-
ling, filling a circle twelve feet across and
nearly four feet deep, while it runs off a volume
of 4,000 or 5,000 gallons to the minute. Ten
feet, about, away, another bubbling spring
throwa out two or three hundred gallons to the
minute; and still a little further, two more—
and a little further, more, until about two dozen
are counted. These Springs make a large,
limpid creek abounding with fish, running
over a marble bottom, and rapidly descending
to the southern portion of the flat land, where
Mr. Yonge has constructed a minature lake,
containing between G and 7 acres, studded
with little islands, and destined to rear myriads
of fish. His winding embark ment, beautifully
ornamented with shade trees, leaves strips of
rich alluvial laud between itself and the moun
tains on each side. Thc strawberries, rasp
berries, &c., ou these strips arc watered by ir
rigating pipes from the lake, through the cm-
barkment! The most luscious berries we ever
ate, were right there!
A creek used to run by thc Springs, through
the beautiful woodlands* but the proprietor,
at thc upper edge of thc latter, cut a canal di
verting thc stream completely around by the
foot of the eastern mountain, and so on, down
into its old bed, at a point below thc sluice
gate of his miniature lake.
The reader must imagine the vast capabili
ties of these mountains with their marble boul
ders—this noble wood-land gladdened with all
this bright unequalled flow of pure and healing
waters—thc fine views—thc cooling strolls—
the shady retreats—the delightful baths—the
sails on the little lake—the fine trout—the rich
fruits—thc lofty hotel and cottages here and
there ih the cliffs, (to be)—and then visit the
lovely glen. Never have we sceu tbo place
equalled, nor do we ever expect to look upon
its like again. There is a wealth of natural
beauty run to waste there unnoticed, that
would make fortunes elsewhere.
This lovely and most delightful place (made
doubly so, to us, by thc refined hospitality of
Mr. and Mrs. Yonoe,) is only three miles from
Yonuk's station, on the railroad from Mont
gomery to Columbus, twenty-two miles from
the latter place. And it is approached by one
of the finest ridge roads iu the world.
The grounds properly connected with these
glorious Springs arc so spacious, comprising
fiat laud and mountain side, streamlet anil
lake, that any amount of money may be ad
vantageously expended upon them. A thous
and guests would have ‘‘ample room and verge
enough,” among those sturdy old trees ; and
that number would be no crowd in thc leafy
aveuues. Wc arc therefore glad to know, that
few months will sec the eastern mountain
side graced by a large hotel, and both sides
sprinkled with cabins. For the inmates of
these, thc adjacent wheat and cornfields, or
chards and fish-ponds will furnish ample and
most luxurious provant.
Wc have been led to say so much about this
highly blessed spot, that wc have scarcely
room left to tender our thanks to our kind
host and estimable lady. That they are the
very “soul of hospitality” is known to all who
know them at all.
A partial analysis of the water of thc Springs
discloses mineral qualities of decided value.
For rheumatism auil cutaucous diseases of tlie
acalp. they have been found very beneficial.
Bloxdin, tiie Bore Walker.—Several days
ago, Mona. Blomlin, thc celebrated tight rope
performer, called on us with his agent, .Mr. Col-
cord, and informed us of his intention, if suffi
cient inducements were offered, to extend a roue
from the eastern point of (ioat Island across tile
river to thc Canada side, and to perform thc
wonik-rful feat of crossing on the same. These
gentlemen have conferred with severed of our
citizens, and also with the Central Bailroad
Company. The expense of procuring such a
rope as will be required will be large, and
should be shared by the railroad anil others,
who aro surely to l>e pecuniarily beneliUcd by
such a wonderful exhibition. Messrs. Vibbard,
(iray, and Cullamer, of the Centra] Bailroad,
were here on Wednesday, but before coming to
anv definite conclusion in the matter aro to con
sult Mr. Corning. We understand the rope
will bo procured in New York. Mr. Colcord
now informs us that lie has no reason to doubt
the exhibition will conic off by the 15th inst.
The thing can be done—Mons. Blondin lias
given sufficient proof of that. Being down at
the Suspension Bridge one day, he spoke of de
scending one of tlie wire guys extending from
thc edge to the back near the water’s edge—a
long distance over thc boiling rapids, as all our
readers know who are acquainted with the lo
cality. A bystander was amazed, and offered a
bet, which was at once accepted, and Blondin,
in his ordinary dress, descended the rope, and
came up, smoking his cigar in the meantime
with as much tjugfroid as though sitting in a
saloon. A man who can perform such a feat at
a place where to fall would lie certain death, has
a right to confidently assert his ability to cross
tlie river where lie could swim and be reliev
ed by boats in case of a fall. He has exhibited
his agility in- this line in Paris and elsewhere,
and thus established a reputation as one of the
greatest tight rojic performers in thc world.
The negotiations with the Central Road are
•expected to be concluded on Monday. Wc
shail refer to the matter as it progresses.
Wc give the account of thc Suspension bridge
performance as stated to us, without vouching
for the truth of it.—Xiagara Xewt Fallt.

FOB COTTON BALES.
Price 0 cents per pound, 25 per cent less than
Rope.
Any one considering the advantages of Iron over
Rope a* a material for binding cotton bales, will be
•uprited that it bat not been adopted long since.—
In is security against fire, there is an overwhelming
reason for its adoption.
The presses in the seaport cities have been the
main cause of its not being generally adopted; but
now that objection is removed generally, aud the
Orleans Press, the largest in New Orleans, gives it
the preference over rope. The Passman Iron Hoop
and Tie is tlie improvement of one of the proprietors,
and is adopted from the fact, that it is touiid, after
long expeiiment, to combine the greatest merits in
simplicity and facility of application of any one yet
made. It is so prepared aa to require no change for
re-compressing. ’I bus obviating the only remain
ing difficulty at the seaboard cities.
The hoops arn sent of auy length, from eight ot
ten feet, and a full guarantee given that neither the
Ties nor Hoops shall break. And further, Ibat all
cotton hound iu them shall be received on the same
terms, at the Orleans Press, as rope bound cotton —
'Die weight per bale is about the same as rope, not
one pouud more or less.
To show the opinion shipmasters have of it, we
give the followtug, among numerous commenda
tions we have i
The undersigned masters of vessels, having had
cotton compressed with Passman's new Iron ilnops
aud Ties, hereby recommend the same. The bales
being well compressed, and the button* or hoops,
never breaking when thrown down iu the ship's
hold, or when stowed.

RISLEY’S
COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT
OP BUCHU
As a Remedy in Nocturnal Emissions, and all
Improper and Debilitating Discharges
from the Sexual Organs, which have blasted the in
tellectual faculties of so many thousands, and in fre
quent instances consigned them as outcasts to socie
ty, rendering them slavering idiots or inmatesofa
lunatic asylum, is not only reliable, bnl prompt in
effecting a speedy care. For diseases under consid
eration, there was no reliable preparation until this
remedy was introduced; and during the many years
it has been before the people, thousands probably,
have experienced its remedial iuflnences. ihere
are probably no diseaies which have so much taxed
tlie skill and ingenuity of the Physician, and none
certainly to destructive to tho health, happiness and
every thing appertaining, socially, morally and
physically to the human subject, as the diseases un
tier consideration, and although thousands have
been swept from timo to eternity from their destruc
tive consequences, and in all probability thousands
of others will share thesame fate, yet none who are
in reach of this preparation need tor a moment fear
any such disastrous results, fur if it *be taken regu
larly and its use persevered in, its remedial effects
are certain. Let all who are nfllicted try it; it cer
tainly behooves them, if they value existence, to
try some remedy, and certainly no preparation has
a greater notoriety or more of a repntation for its in
trinsic worth than has this. It is found at all Drug
Stores.
