\ Dear uncle Joshua, Here we are amongst
, an ocean offolks, and cutting up capers as
J, high as cats back. l spose you will see by
1.-THE papers how we all liked to got drownded
yesterday going across a little bridge between
1.-THE castle and the garden.
1t was a pesky narrow squeak for me and
the President. He was riding over on
great fine boss, and was walking along by
the side of him and trying to clear the way
little for they crowded upon us so, there was
no getting along, and hardly chance to
breathe. When we got under the arch we
stopped little bit for the crowd to clear
away, when all at once thought / heard
something cracking. Says I, General, you,
better go ahead, Pm afraid there's mischief
bruing here. At that he give his boss
kick and pushed through the crowd, but we
hadn't got more than rod, before crash went
the bridge behind us all do yn IN heap, and
two toll houses on top of it and as many as
hundred folks splashed into the water, all
: mixed up together one top of 'tother The
President looked over his shoulder, and see
ing was safe behind him, called out for Mr..
Van Buren,, and asked me to rim and see if
he was hurt. told him he had forgot him
tl.A1 EN, M 81 49,
pany; but Mr., Woodbury. and Mr.. Cass
: were in for 1t, for could see them founder
ing about in the water now. Run, Major,
r said the President, and give them a lift.
e Take Mr.. Woodbury. first, you know ! can't
d spare him.
e So there was parcel of us took hold and
: went to hauling of 'em out of the water like
1t so many drowned rats But we got 'em al
le out alive, except few young things they
called dandies; they looked so after they eo
:, vet all over that we couldn't make out whe
a. Their they were alive or dead. So we lait
ly 'em up to dry and left 'em; and went on tt
help the President review the troops on tn,
-, battery, as they call it, and grand place i
=, is tn. I've seen more fine sh ows here, i
- seems to me, than ever see before in m,
= lifc.-Such sight of folks, and fine ladies
10 and fine houses, and vessels, and steamboats,
=. g, ana flags flying, and cannons firing, and fir
az, works whisklng about, never see the bea
-, Oft. ] didn't think there was so much flu
!, in this world before, for all I've been abou
-, so much at Madawaska and among the multi
s. ers and all roand.
= But cant tell you much about it till W
:. get there, for cant find any time to writ.
II I've only catched few minutes this evenin
- while the president is gone into Mr.. Niblo'
4, garden. One of the master sights that T'y
VS. yet seen was that balloon that went up tn
4 afternoon, carrying man with it. Poor fe
~ e low, don't much think he'll ever get BAG
&c. again, for he looked to me the last l see
), him as though he would land in England
., :, or the moon, or some other country.
~, All these sights kept us back a little lol
NV ger than we expected. Idont think now "
" shall be in Portland before the 2Sth or 90,
=, of this month. So thought I'd lust wri
a. "a. you line that you might be down the
-, about that time. In haste, your lovil
