FA i rpnc undcrsigne-l l.ccs leave to inform the public, that I he has recently purchased the Warm .Springs, in j Oeiry county, fa , and has improved and refurnished the ; buildings for the entertainment of visiters, in a style calculated to ensure comfort and convenience to all \\ ho may feel disposed to patronize the establishment. These springs are situated on (lie hanks of and empty into Sherman's creek, a stream assnc atcd with tin- thrill ing scenes between the early settlers of lint part of Pennsylvania and the aborigines, whose hunting grounds I lay on its margin. They are 11 milea from Carlisle, I (llirotigli which t lie Cumberland Valley Railroad passes i frgm Chambersburg to Marrishurg,) from which place ; visitors can at all times procure excellent conveyances. I hose also from the east, wishing to reach the springs by the Central Railroad, can do so by taking passage to the : Duncannon Iron Works, (13 miles distant from the ; springs) where coaches are constantly in readiness to | convey them thither; and those coming from the west | on the same road, can at all times obtain easy conveyan ces at the Railroad Hotel at Newport, which is but a few i miles distant from the springs. 'Hie qualities of the water at these springs are most i extraordinary indeed for the speedy and permanent cure lof ( Hot I I.A, 'III TEH, Eruptions of lite Sl.in, anJ in fuel every species 'of Cutaneous Diseases. He lias ; hundreds of certificates, showing the wonderful cures i effected by using this water internally, ami by bathing in j it, obtained as well from strangers as from those residing ( in the immediate neighborhood of the springs, who have j not only experienced the infallible eflka< y of the water 1 themselves, but witnessed the same upon others. Prof. JAMES C Room has analyzed the waters, and found theni to contain 9 2 grains of solid matter in the gallon, which is composed as follows : Carbonate of lime, 2 607 " magnesia, . 1.938 Alkaline salts, cliii fl . chlorides, iih a por tion of sulphate, - . I 003 Silicia - 0.003 Organic matter, ... 2 SOT 9 21 !0 There are also at the same pi tee ha'.f a dozen of other springs, of different descriptions, among i\ hi. li is one of sulphur and one of cold water. It may not he 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 foil into the hands of a number of heirs, who were indisposed to undertake the responsibility of making it a place nf pub lic entertainment—probably because the patronage of the public would not have, justified the undertaking, as at that time (before the spirit of improvement hail rend .red 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 • d 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, (now proprietor of a large hotel in Tremont. Pa.) w ho made arrangements to accommodate the public, and dur ing his term many invalids availed themselves of this opportunity to visit and test its medical qualities Mr Hippie however n-liri d in a short time, and the property again fell into the hands of the heirs, and remained so : until proceedings were instituted in the Orphans' Court for its sale. It was ordered to be sold, and the subscri ber became the purchaser- It will thus be seen that with the exception of the short time it was held by Mr. Hip- j pie, no efforts were made to bring it into notice. The country round the springs and neighborhood is di- j versified by cultivation ami beautifully wild an I pictu resque scenery, abounding in game, while the stream j passing through the property affords line fishing. Every ! attention will be paid to the comfort and convenience of ; guests, and the charges so moderate, that all may avail j themselves of the benefits of the Water. May3l—Bl 11. 11. ETTER.

In almost all occupations and pursuits j there are degrees in the downward tenden cies of life, if we could only keep the i run of them, and understand the moral. The dashing beauty, who has made the first false step, and all around whom is gay, flattering, and convivial, does not see in perspective the strides that reach the bot tom —how she sinks by degrees, like the barometer in an approaching storm. Stepping into a popular Cafe, a few days since, for a cooling drink, we heard the rattling of billiard balls, and saw two lads in fashionable attire, with cigars in their mouths and coats off, playing at one , of the tables, and an old fellow whose countenance was familiar to us, keeping game for them. We remember him in the prime of life as a gentleman gambler, j We make that distinction between a pro fessional gambler, who cheats at cards, and one who plays skilfully but honorably. He had bad some consideration in society, for his occupation was not generally known, lie had respectable acquaintances; gen tlemen nodded to him in a friendly way : his manners were always correct; and his dress was neat, without being flashy. He led the life of a gambler, however—to-day ! rich, to-morrow poor—with all the phases and changes incident to that calling. We I saw at once that in his descent he had got j as low as a billiard marker, and could not throw oil his early habits, although he had no longer any money to sport with. j " \\ ell," said we, " here you are yet! Always at a game of chance, or a game of skill. You look as il fortune had dealt hardly with you." " I don't complain—why should I ?" he replied, 44 I never had any certainty in my professional life. If I had thousands one day/1 was without a dollar the next. Now 1 ant sure to get seven dollars at the end of the week, and I am contented." 44 Do you know," said we. taking a seat alongside of him on the cushioned settee, 44 that I have a curiosity to learn what was the largest sum you ever won at cards at a sitting ?" 44 One night I won thirty thousand dol lars at brag !" was his answer. 44 Prodigious ! Thirty thousand dollars did you sav ?" I " Yes. J played all night, and lost it all back excepting eight hundred dollars. 1 should have lost that, but it was Sunday morning, and 1 heard the bells ring for church ; and recollecting that 1 had prom ised my wife to go to hear the bishop preach, 1 washed my hands and face, smoothed my hair, and, with downcast looks and pious features, joined in the lita ny and chaunted the psalms." 44 From the gaming tabie to the church ?" '• Yes : and 1 am not the only one who underwent that transition. It is not very unnatural or unreasonable. If you win. \ou have something to give thanks for : if J O O you lose, you can pray for better luck in future." This is the consolation of the gambler's life ! "Did you never forswear gambling ?" we inquired. "Oh! frequently; hut always broke my oath. One night 1 lost three thousand dollars—all 1 had in the world—and went home quite melancholy with a friend. It was past two o'clock, and 1 invited him to drink a glass of brandy and water. I swore all the bitter oaths I could remem ber that I never again would handle cards. While I was thus swearing, 1 felt in my pocket for a little tobacco, and found a bank-note of one hundred dollars rolled up in a corner. All my gambling propen sities revived in an instant. 4 Let's go hack.' said I, 4 and try our luck once more with this hundred. 1 may win five thou sand.' We went back, and 1 lost the note in five minutes ! So much for the virtu ous resolutions of a gambler. Human na ture is not to be trusted." " The gambling houses of the present day," said we, " are rather on a higher scale, my old friend, than in your time." " Everything*on a similar scale is the same. We are a progressive people.— Houses of a questionable character used to !• in nooks and corners, where no lamp I burned—now they blaze out in splendor quite near Broadway, and the lady abbess rides in her own carriage." " Do you ever visit any of the exten sive gambling saloons in the city ?" i " Only to carry a note or to inquire for some gentleman," he answered. " 1 am I quite lost in the splendor which surrounds inc. I smell the rich viands of the kitch en as 1 ascend the staircase. I enter the suites of apartments, where the festooned hangings, the rich Turkey carpets and Persian ottomans, the tall and elaborately carved and gilt mirrors, the ormula lamps and candelabras, the paintings of Venuses j and Dameas in gorgeous frames, the silken draperies which vie with ancient magnifi cence, the rich wines and delicate viands on the table, and the plate and attendants, all have the appearance of an enchanted , castle—of what we read of Paradise. It is hell, where the senses are intoxicated with liquor and the pockets picked !" " Are you acquainted with any of the keepers of these splendid establishments?" " YV ho would know a brother of the order of faro and rouge el noir in a seedy coat and shocking bad hat? Yet I know | them by instinct—by their bushy and well trimmed beards, the oily smoothness of their hair, the richness of their garments, their watch chains and diamond breast pins, their easy lounging gait, and the fine ly flavored cigars in their mouths." " Do our rich merchants, extensive bro kers and millionaires, patronise these ex- | tensive establishments ?" " Not to any extent. They spread their nets for strangers —for the rich planters , and factors with which our city and fash ionable hotels abound." We are glad to hear that the bulk, of victims were not our own townsmen ; and yet there are too many of such who lose their money at cards, and throw a melan- 1 cholv pall over the happiness of an entire family. Night after night the poor wife ' sits alone, waiting the return of her truant | husband. Each knock at the door—each jar or jingle of the bell—alarms her, until she becomes nervous from solitude and watchfulness. The chirping of the crick et on the hearth, or the moaning of the wind through the casement, serves only I to make night hideous. The midnight bell tolls, and still lie comes not. The hour of two strikes—sometimes it is three in the morning—ere his step is heard ; and then he enters, pale, haggard, tormented with passion and despair, wild with dis appointment, without a kind word, a soft look, or an endearing caress for her whose love he should prize above all earthly jew- ' els. For every pang thus wantonly in flicted on a tender wife and mother, a whole life of penance can scarcely atone. Sunday Times. SARCASTIC SEYTEYCE. Old Elias Kcyes, formerly Judge of \\ indsor county, Vt., was a strange com position ot folly and good sense, of natural shrewdness and want of cultivation. The following sentence, it is said, was pro nounced upon a poor ragged fellow con victed of stealing a pair of boots Iron Gen. Curtis, a man of considerable wealth in the town of Windsor : 44 W i ll," said the Judge, very gravely, before pronouncing sentence of court, un dertaking to read the fellow a lecture, 44 you're a tine fellow to be arraigned before a court for stealing. They say you are poor—no one doubts it who looks at you —and how dare you; being poor, have the imprudence to steal a pair of boots ? No body hut rich people have a right to take such tilings without paying ! Then they say you are worthless—that is evident from the fact that no one has ever asked justice to be done you ; all, by unanimous consent, pronounced you guilty before you were tried. Now, you, being so worthless, was a fool to steal, because you might know you would be condemned. And you must know that it was a great aggra vation that you have stole thorn in tiie large town of Windsor. 11l that large town to commit such an act is most horri ble. And not only go into Windsor to steal, but you must steal from that great man, General Curtis. This claps the cli max of your iniquity, llase wretch ! why did you not go and steal the only pair of hoots which some poor man had. or could get, and then you would ha', c been let alone; nobody would have troubled themselves about the act. For your iniquity in stealing in the great town of Windsor, and from the great General Curtis, the court sentences you to three months' imprisonment in the county jail, and may God give you something to eat!" THE LEHIGH COUNTY BANK.—At the last session of the Lehigh County Court, ; the (hand Jury, upon legal proof being; brought before them, found an indictment against MOSES Y. BEACH, of New York,; as owner and operator of the Lehigh ; County Bank—a famous Loeofoco swind ling shop, with the individual liability principle fastened on its charter—which exploded a few years ago, and whose 1 money he circulated. In pursuance of the ; indictment, Governor JOHNSTON has sent an officer to New York, demanding of Gov- j emor FISH, to deliver up the said Moses Y. Beach to the proper authorities of Pennsylvania. New Series—Vol. I—No. 39. The Great Salt I.akt*taptain Stansbary's Expedition. (■apt. Stansbury, sent out by Govern ment to make an examination of the Yai ley of the Salt Lake, writes home : " From the knowledge gained by this expedi tion, I am of opinion that the size of the lake has been much exaggerated ; and from observa ! tion, and what 1 have learned from the Mor mons, who have made one or two excursions upon it in a small skiff, I am induced to believe ; that its depth has been much overrated. That I it has no outlet, it is now demonstrated beyond doubt ; and I am convinced, from what I have seen, that it can never be of the slighest use for i the purpose of navigation. The water, for : miles out from the shore, wherever I have seen : it, is but a few inches in depth ; and if there be ! any deep water, it must be in the middle. The Utah river)or the Jordan, as the Mormons call | it) is altogether too insignificant and too crooked to be of any use commercially. The greatest depth of the Utah Lake that we have found is sixteen feet; so that, for the purposes of a con nected line of navigation, neither the river nor the I lakes can be of the slighest utility. Such, at least, is my present impression. Further exam ! ination of Salt Lake may, perhaps, modify this | opinion with regard to the latter. The river | connecting thesetwolakcs is 48 miles in length.'' He found that the whole western shore of the lake consists of immense level plains of soft mud, inaccessible within many miles of the water's edge to the feet of mules or horses, being traversed frequent ly by meandering rills of salt and sulphur - water, which apparently sink and seem to imbue and saturate the whole soil, render ! ing it miry and treacherous. These plains are but little elevated above the present level of the lake, and have, without doubt, at one time, not very long since, formed a part of it. The plains are, for the most part, entirely denuded of vegetation, ex cepting occasional patches of Artemesia and " grease-wood." In an estimated dis tance of one hundred and fifty miles, on one part of the route, fresh water and grass were found only in one spot. "In the latter portion of this first desert we crossed afield of solid salt, which lay encrusted upon the level mud plain, so'thick that it bore up the mules loaded with their packs so perfect ly that they walked upon it as if it had been a sheet of solid ice, slightly covered with snow. The whole plain was as level as a floor. We estimated this field to be at least ten miles in length, by seven in width, and the thickness of the salt at from one-half to three-quarters of an inch. A strip of some three miles in width had been previously crossed, but it was not thick, nor hard enough to prevent the animals from sinking through it into the mud at every step The salt in the solid field was perfectly chrystal ized, and where it had not become mixed with the soil, was as white and fine as the best speci mens of salina table salt. Some of it was col lected and preserved, " After crossing the field of salt, wc struck upon a fine little stream of running water, with plenty of grass, lying at the foot of a range of mountains, which seemed to form the western boundary of the immediate valley of the lake. " We were, as 1 have ever reason to believe, the first party of white men that ever succeeded in making the entire circuit of the lake by land. 1 have understood that it was once circumnavi gated by canocs, in early times, by some trap pers, in search of beaver, but no attempt by land has ever been successful." Yorxc LADY STATISTIC?.—We learn that during: the last year, live hundred and forty young ladies fainted away on vari ous occasions. More than two hundred of them fell into the arms of voung gen tlemen ; forty were caught by their aunts and grandmothers; and only one had the misfortune to fall on the iloor ; she, how ever. picked out a soft place to fall upon, and was providentially received by an ot toman. The citizens of Boston consummated another work of benevolence on the 3d instant, in the formal dedication of the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary—a spacious and complete edi fice, costing §OO,OOO. The institution throughout is on a scale and of a character to do honor to the name of Boston. The Newbury port Herald, in n notice of Mr. Webster's Maine letter, makes an odd comparison, as thus—" The con densed power of the style is worthy the at tention of every student of the English language. In his lofty bearing, his simple and massive grandeur, and stately step pings, Mr. Webster is certainly the Ele phant of the Great National Menagerie." PIXE LUMBER.—The Buffalo Courier understands that a contract has been made at Oswego, for freightings3,ooo,ooo feet of pine lumber to Albany from Canada; only 13,000,000 feet came from the same sec tion to Oswego last year. The proposi tion in the Canadian Reciprocity bill, now before Congress, is to admit Canada lum ber free of duty hereafter. A live alligator, measuring eight feet in length, was recently killed in one of the streets of New Orleans. 11 . . 1 Tobacco, Snuff and Segars OK every description at the Diamond Drug and Variety Store of p5 A.
