A Baltimore paper, in speaking of the death 0 t" ihe Rev. J. limber, says ; •' We remember him well. Me was one of the old fashioned Methodist preachers with a warm heart and stout lungs—able to make saints shout and sinners tremble, fie had no college learning himself, and no great love tor it in others, lie was equally good at set tling predeetinartans in the pulpit, or a riot at the doors. A little noise of the right sort (or the wrong either) did not disturb him. Mis prayers waxed more fervent amidst the audible aspirations arour.d him, and his voice was heard like a trumpet above the cries of glory towards the end ot his sermons. Farewell to this gjod old servant ! At the last day he will be found, we doubt not, right side up with care " We must here add, for the benefit of "hi f iture biographer, an anecdote of Mr. Gruber, which passed current. On one occasion at a camp-meeting which he attended, there was some disturbance created by a young woman who persisted in standing on'the benches. • .Never mind,' said brother G., I'll bring her r, j° W ' t * l a ' out * vo ' ce he exclaimed, •It 1 hRd as large a hole in my stocking as that young woman, I don't think I'd stand on the benches.' Down catne the lady. • Why brother,' said one of the preachers, • how did you know she had a hole in her stocking.' ' Well if she hadn't'said Mr. G., * 1 dou't see how she'd got her foot into it.'"

WARM SPRINGS, PERRY COUNTY. PA. TIHE undersigned begs leave to inform the public, that he has recently purchased the Warm Springs, in Perry county, Fa, and has improved and refurnished the buildings for the entertainment of visiters, in a style calculated to ensure comfort and convenience to ail w ho may feel disposed to pallatize ike establishment. These springs are situated on the banks of and emplv Into (Sherman's creek, a stream assoc aled with the thrill ing scene* between the early settlers of that part of Pennsylvania and the aborigines, whose hunting grounds lay on its margin. They are 11 miles from Carlisle, (through which the Cumberland Valley Railroad passes from Chambersburg to Ifarrisburg,) from which place visiters can at all times procure excellent conveyances. Those also from the east, wishing to reach lite springs by the Central Railroad, can do so by taking passage to the Duneamton Iron Works, (13 miles distant from the springs) where coaches are constantly in readiness to convey them thither; and those coining from the west on the same road, can at ail times obtain easy conveyan ces at the Railroad Hotel at Newport, which is but a few miles distant from the springs. The qualities of the water at these springs are most extraordinary indeed for the speedy and permanent cure of SCROFULA, TETTER, Eruptions of the Skin, and in fact every species of Cutaneous Diseases. 1| has hundreds of certificates, showing the wonderful cures effected by using this water internally, and by bathing in it, obtained as well from strangers as from those residing in the immediate neighborhood of the springs, who have not only experienced the infallible efficacy of the water themselves, hut witnessed the same upon others. Prof. JAMES C. BOOTH has analyzed the waters, and found them to contain 9 2 grains of solid matter in the gallon, which is composed as follows : Carbonate of lime, ... 2.6G7 44 magnesia, - - 1.938 Alkaline salts, chiefly chlorides, with a por tion of sulphate, • - 1.093 ftilicia ..... 0.603 Organic matter, - - - 2 897 9.200 There are also at the same place half a dozen of other Springs, of different descriptions, among which is one of sulphur and one of cold water. It may not be improper to state why a knowledge of the extraordinary medical qualities of these springs has not been more extensively known than is indicated by the certificates of those only who have resided in their im mediate neighborhood. Years ago the property fell into the hands of a number of heirs, who were indisposed to undertake the responsibility of making it a place of pub lic entertainment - probably because the patronage of the public would not have justified the undertaking, us at that time (before the spirit of Improvement had rendered distant and difficult points of speedy and cheap access,) its location was out of the way, and the roads to it rough and almost impassable. At the death of Mr. Kennedy, it fell into the hands of his heirs, neither of whom seem ed disposed to take hold of it, but leased it to tenants, more for the cultivation of the land than a regard to the use of the water. It was finally rented to Mr. Hippie, (uow proprietor of a large hotel in Tremont. Pa ) who made arrangement* to accommodate the public, and dur -4 his term many invalid* availed themselves of this •portunity to visit and test it* medical qualities Mr -pple how ever retired in a short time, and the property •rain fell inlo the hand* of the heirs, and remained so uittl proceedings were instituted in the Orphans' f its sale It was ordered to be sold, and the subscri- I" became the purchaser- It will thus be seen that with t; exception of the short time it was held by Mr. Hip pi* no efforts were made to bring it into notice. ' Lie country round the springs and neighborhood is di ve.-fieii ty cultivation and beautifully wild and pictu tstnie scenery, abounding ir. gome, while lite stream P**.iiig through the property affords fine fishing. Every * l '*ntion w ill be paid to the comfort and convenience of *-ts, and the charges so moderate, that all may avail mselves of the benefit* of the Water. \U\ ai-St 11. H. KTTER. ! FIRE PLUGS.
