It is situated on a high,-dry and sandy ridge, and reimote-from any-lo cal causes of disease; its waters are cen; sequeuly pure and-salubrious. And the morals of the village are uine.xceptionable, being far removed from those haunts.ofI, dissipation and vice, so common in modern times, in almost all our villages, and which are so apt to prey upon the morals.of in experienieed and ungarded youth, and which leads so many into vicious habiti, ihat proves their inevitable: ruin.
