150 persons, and a bath house; and a circular railroad has been laid down<br />
round the grounds for the amusement of invalids. There are also in the village<br />
two churches, stores, saw mill, post-office, a resident physician, three taverns,<br />
and other boarding houses, and a small paper called " Life at the Springs," is<br />
published weekly. The principal tavern, the " Canada House," is kept by the<br />
proprietor of the springs. There are four springs in the place, called the Saline,<br />
Sulphur, Gas, and one more lately discovered, called the Intermittent. The<br />
Caledonia water is bottled and exported.<br />
