PATERSON, N. J. August g. 1888.
Mr.. EDIroR-Pardon me for commencing my let
ter, as many have done before me, by asking the
question-Have you ever visited our village? II you
have not, you cannot conceive the pleasure in visit
TO this romantic town. Your correspondents in
Bridgeport, New Haven and other places, may talk
of their delightful walks, splendid views, and beau-
full ladies but assure you no town can furnls more
than this. The ladies, "God bless them,' are the
constant readers of your Lively Herald, and of
course champ ons of yourself and Mr.. Bennett
was in company with some ladies an evening or two
since and the question was asked, who IS the con-
ducior OF the Herald in the absence of Mr.. Bennett?
lady replied, man who tor splendour of talents is
not surpassed by Mr.. nnett himself and one who
conducts the best OF papers with more spirit If pos
sibe, than the former editor. You will perceive
from this in what high estimation yeu held by the
ladies' here. Mr.. Benneu would have had the pleas
ure of seeing them, had he accepted invitation 10
ball last autumn, but presume his editorial duties
prevented him. The ladies insist upon seeing gov
here and if we have ball this summer, you will
without doubt be invited Then you shall be intro
duced TO the charming Misses H'.., C.'...'.., and
K.s.'s, of New York, and the beautiful Miss
R....t.-, and the pretty Miss C.ss*., and the en-
chanting Misses J....', and many others equally
beautiful, who always grace eur ball room with their
presence. former correspondent OF yours extolled
the gallanry Of the gentlemen here. There is but
limited number Of gentlemen of any kind here, snd
-. toId and
gallant, and squently the lad have depend
upon Messrs Css-sA, Hsss%s<%s, Rsssssss, Hss%ss
and some two or three others, TO attend them upon
their pleasure excursions. few such gentlemen as
yourself would make this perfect paradise, and our
pretty ladies would become the gayest OF the gay.
Yours truly, THEODORE.
