Littleton, August i 1, 1S.S2. You have heard of the renowned Pana cea springs, they are just four miles from here in Warren county. A quantity of the water will cure sufficient any ail- j UK,nt that ever plagued humanity, I oniy requisite is a plenty of faith j wator mixed in exact proportions. The and j , , id had. it is one of the prettiest country places I ever saw. He has him a fish pond stock ed with (Jcrnian Carp. On the same read is the finest house in the county owned by a colored man. 1 am told that he has never voted, and that he is a very good citizen. The wheat crops raised around here this year gave unusual satisfaction. I hear of many large fields. Mr. Harris, the proprietor of Panacea springs, accommodates about thirty guests. Everyone that stops with him goes away restored in health, buoyant in spirits, and confident that he has found the "Fountain of Faith." If one is in search of health only and, rational enjoy ments, I believe Ehis to be the best place to conic, and I confidently predict that, in years to conie, this will be the most famous summer resort in the United States. Your correspondent is stopping at Col. W. A. Johnston's hotel in Littleton and drives to the" springs twice a day. The Col. has a delightful kc'U'I; .nd ore ccfuld not be more pleasantly situated.

OL'R ENFIELD LETTER iSpecial correspondence Commonwealth. Enfield, Aug. 14, 1882. The game of base ball played here on I Friday between Halifax r.nd Enfield was almost a farce though there was some good playing. Not long since, if I have been l ightly informed, Halifax challenged Enfield and as the boys here had not played a game this season an acceptance was oilt of the question. Finally, Halifax 1 1(em; m anxous to play. a.,t our boys j d to aCcommodtc, told them to come on. -iV nine was patencu iip, aim without any practice whatever, the game was called and played. The result was a foregone conclusion Halifax 2o, En field S. In justice to our boys think the above is in order. Delbre the ending of the game the gun club came out and things were pretty livelv. For the fun of the thins a fine , 1 1 T watermelon was put up and was won by Mr. Wm. Ihunett; A foul ball struck Mr. Lewis Levy's horse causing him to take fright. Making a sudden pliinge to the left, Mr. Levy was thrown from the vehicle between the wheels and was slight!

The older and better class only are on the road now. The "spooks" seem to have been wiped out. The dear "season" is drawing to a close, but the doer stason began on the 10th hist., and the mmtsmcn arc pre paring to wage a deadly war against the fleet, sleek beauties of the forest and thicket. All from here, who attended the pic nic in Ringwood on the 10th, express themselves as having had a very pleasant tiliie; Engle, the photographer, has pitched his tent in town.
