Point aux Loups Springs.THE undersigned take this mode

of notifying the public that he hajustimproved this Establishment and heis now in readiness to receive all those

whose pleasure it may be to seek the above as aplace of plesaure and recreation, as well as thosewho may be impelled from indisposition to haverecourse to them for the remedial agency of itswaters. These Springs are situated on the Bay-ourdes Canes, distant about 34 miles Southwestof the Town of Opelousas. Among the nume-roas springs., there to be found, may be had suchas are found abounding with Sulphur and prepa-rations ofIron. The springs are very abundant,and in one instance three of the streams form alarge basin which affords a magnificent bathingplace. The waters of the said basin can be en-tirely renewed every hour, a circumstance whichis certainly calculated to add much to its purity.At the distance of some five hundred yards fromthe principal bathing place there is, besides this,another which is furnished with abundant stream'of water, the coldness of which can almost becompared to that of ice.

Sampn uingu .theai peaig of his Establish,ment, the undersigned does not pretendto offerthe sameto tke public as a fashionable wateringplace, where fine dressing may be exhibited withthe other general accompaniments. His object,on the contrary,is to offer to the afflicted a meansthrough which a shackled constitution may be re-stored to health. The remedial agency of thesewaters in the relief of Dyspepsia. and in the per-manent cure of cutaneous eruptions, frbm pastexperience, now stands uncontradicted.

The establishment consists of comfortabledwellings, with all the necessary furniture whichmay be inquired at such a place, and thetable will be always amply furnished with what-ever edibles may seem best to suit the tastes ofvisitors. An xcellent pasture in which horsesmay be kept 4thsafety, will be at the dispositionof such as may desire it, as well as corn, fodder,&c.

The charges of the undersigned will be mode-rate, and he fuies satisfied that his visitors willnot only be sa lTfied with the accommodationswhich they may receive, but that they will be alsoequally contented with the degree of health whichthey may obtain from the healthful use of thewaters of the different Springs.

ANTOINE CART.Mlay 28th, 1859.

THIS delightful Summer Resort,situated in the Parish of St. Landry,in a beautiful rolling Pine woods coun-try, distant about thirty-six miles

from Opeloussa, will be opened on the 1st of Junenext, for the reception of visitors.

This establishment has been thoroughly repairedand painted, and many important improvementsmade. A large Stable and two new Baths andBath-houses have been erected. These Baths willgreatly promote the comfort of visitors, as they arebuilt so as to be absolutely free from rain waterinundations as heretofore.

The mineral qualities of the wsters of theseSprings and the many wonderful ures they haveperformed, are so well known thR they only re-quire a passing notice. This Summer resort willleave nothing to desire this season, as the proprie-ter will spare no pains or expense to render it asagreeable and attractive as possible. He has en-gaged an excellent Cook, a good Steward, and politeand attentive Servants. He has also engaged twoIusicians for the entire season; and besides, as

the Deer abounds in the surrounding try, hehas procured a pack of hounds for t leasure ofsportsmen. He has also built severle t for ish-ing in the Lake, which is situated abt four milesfrom ,he Springs, where the Tron tPerch andmany other fis fishAare caught in aalce. He
