loosely laid ; without glass in the windows. While 

 the weather is warm, no great inconvenience results 

 from this ; but, when the evenings and mornings be- 

 come cool, the huts are uncomfortable ; and, indeed, 

 the article of lodging, at all times, is less comfortable 

 than any other. 



The price of board, in 1800, was six dollars a 

 week, for a gentleman or lady, and half that sum for 

 a servant. 



V. BUTTERMILK-SPRING. 



At about three hundred yards from the Sweet- 

 Spring, in a meadow adjoining, there is a small 

 spring, which, from some circumstance, unknown to 

 me, is denominated the Buttermilk- Spring. 



The qualities of this water seem to be much like 

 those of the Sweet- Spring, except that they are said 

 to be more emetic and purgative. This Spring is 

 not cleared out, and is scarcely ever used. It belongs 

 to the proprietor of the Sweet-Spring. 



VI. THE NEW SULPHUR-SPRING. 



About three years since, there was discovered :i 

 new Sulphur-Spring, at the distance of about two 

 miles from the Red- Spring.
