some months sinco, dincovrred oil springs
iu the Valley of Orizaba. From bis letter
we quote:

From the following, which we copy from
'ho Corry Blade, it will be seen tbat our
fornur townsman, Mr. Fred. Scbutts, has
established a new Billiard Parlor at Ccr
ry: Say what you will, relaxation from btisi.
oess Is not'enly needed, tut an actual nrc s.
.aity for every person; snd there is no
nation so illy provided with rational amuse
ments as tbe Americin. Amonz the lew
recreations which Americans delight in,
there is probably none so universally popu
lar as that of Billiards; r.nd it is qu'te
certain that tbe establishment which bas
tbe best snrroundings, should bo most pa-tronlz.-d.
The Billiard Room of Fled .
Scbutts, adjoining tho American Hotel,
bas been recently refilled, and we must say
elegantly fixed, so as to make it Indeed a
Billiard Parlor. Tho walls bavo been
newly papered with a lively putern. the
tables have been renewed, thn seats ure
handsomely upholstered, and the windows
are furnished with some nsceflowets the
whole tcut ensemble being such as to iTi v
away dull caic, and make tbe amusement
pleasing. We wish it tvery success. j
