Pertle Springs.-The

COL. J. C. CHRISTOPHER,

beautiful summer resort, is situated a few miles from Warrensburg, Mo., on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The Springs are reached by means of a "dummy line" running from Warrensburg. It passes through the residence portion of town, past the extensive grounds of the State Normal School, which has a beautiful campus, in which are groves of native forest trees, clumps of rare shrubs and extensive and Proprietor, Pertle Springs. artistic beds of flowers and plants. A little farther, the dummy line passes through green pastures and thence along the shores of the artificial lakes, constructed primarily as part of the Warrensburg water system, but employed also as an attractive feature of the Pertle Springs Resort. There are five of these lakes, three of them covering as much as forty acres, all bordered by grassy hills and leafy trees. In their crystal depths swim unnumbered bass, croppie and perch, so that fishing is one of the fascinating pastimes. The boating facilities are the very best. At the upper end of the chain of the lakes is the great spring from which flows, through a rock basin, a stream sufficient to make a small brook. The medicinal qualities of the water are eminently adapted to the cure of dyspepsia and all other stomach diseases. It was a famous spring years ago. In the pioneer period of Western Missouri, many settlers came here every

summer and camped for weeks beneath the surrounding oaks, and drank its waters to regain their health.

A Hundred Years Ago.

Philadelphia, Aug. 18.-A local paper publishes each day a column reprinted from its columns of a century ago. This was printed on August 15, 1803:

Philadelphia Dispensary.

The expences of this institution have been considerably increased by the negligence of the patients in not returning their Vials; and many instances have occurred of their selling them. The words Philadelphia Dispensary are on all the Vials, and it is earnestly requested, that if any such are offered for sale, they may be stopped and returned to the Dispensary in Fifth street. Our fellow citizens are again informed, that old linen rags are much wanted for the use of the patients; and will be thankfully received at the Dispensary.

By Order of the Managers,

WILLIAM WHITE, President, The institution referred to still survives.
