ROCKBRIDGE ALUM SPRINGS. 



THE subscriber is now engaged in enlarging the accommodations at this favorite and cele- 

 brated watering place. Its remarkable medicinal properties are now too well known and highly appreciated 

 to require any advertising in Virginia at least. And the main object of this notice is to ur^e invalids who 

 reallv require the use of the water, to avail themselves of the months of April. May and June, before the 

 crowd and the rush comes on ; as thereby they will secure an amount of comfortable accommodation, atten- 

 dance and nursing beyond what is possible in July and August. . 



The waters are never used to better advantage than in the Spring and Fall seasons. Experience has fully 

 proved this. Our pamphlet contains a full account of the action of the water, derived from the most authentic 

 and reliable authorities. A new edition will be out in a few days, and in the hand of Coleman Rodgers, 

 Baltimore; Bennett 8? Beers, Richmond ; A. B. Rucker, Lynchburg, and the subscriber at the Springs. En- 

 close to them a blue stamp and they will mail the pamphlet. 



Board before June and after September, . . . $9 00 per week. 



I am now putting up enlarged and very superior Ten-Pin Alleys, both for Ladies and Gentlemen— which 

 with my Billiard Saloon, will afford amusement and exercise to the invalid and the pleasure seeker. A supe- 

 rior Band of Music from New York, for both Lawn and Ball-room engaged for the season. ^ 



In short, the undersigned acting for his firm is resolved, with the co-operation of his efficient and popular 

 aids, to spare neither labor nor expense in giving comfort and satisfaction to the quests of the House.

PIGS OF IMPROVED BREED FOR SALE. 

 I have for sale, to be delivered at weaning 

 time, a good many pigs of improved breed. I 

 have produced it myself from crosses of the 

 Surry (or Suffolk) genuine Berkshire, (Dr. John 

 R. Woods' stock) Irish Grazier, Chester County, 

 no Bone and Duchess. I think them superior 

 hogs of medium size, and for fourteen years they 

 have not had a bad cross among them. I prefer 

 that purchasers should view my brood sows and 

 my boar on my farm, three miles below Rich- 

 mond. I will not sell them in pairs, because 

 the in-and-in breeding would depreciate the 

 stock at once and cause dissatisfacton, but I will 

 sell in one lot several of the same sex. 



jg^^Price $5 per head for one, and an agreed 

 price for a larger number. They will be deliv- 

 ered on the Basin or any of the Railroad Depots 

 free of charge.
