LETTER FROM THE EDITOR.
SUDBURY, 29A April, IL o'clock, p. NJ
Took stage south--No accompanying pas
senger to Castleton-Road severe: a coach
upset upon il the night before. had care
ful driver, however, and arrived safeIy--on-
ly, that was tossed about so violently as to
experience what, on board ship, is called
sed-sickness- Vomited repeatedly and most
freely, but found only partial relief. At
Castleton found good company, but was 10
an i'll condition TO enjoy it-Sickness and
vomiting continued. As soon as daylight
came, took seat with the driver, and found
temporary re.ief--Passengers breakfasred
at Granville. While the others were eat
ing at the public house, walked on short
distance to the house OF Friend, and form
er acquaintance. The walking settled my
stomach in a measure, and ate light
ly Of bread and milk, my favorile food. This
was the last my stomach would consent to
receive until reached Albany, in the eve
ming. Very little occurred, coming under
my notice, situated as Twas, during the day,
which would be interesting TO MENTION
One cheering fact, however, for the friends
ofTemperance:-Ia scertainedf from what es-
lteemed 10 be good authority, that the Tenn
sperance House in Castleion has more pat
ronage than both, or all the others. II do
not recollect whether the number Of the 9TH
ers is two or morel When will the inn
keepers in Brandon, and elsewhere, learnlhe
! true policy--if they will not be governed by
higher and better motive7 s,s

i SafEord's Temperance House-a noble hous,
il is, too--cleanly, quiet, and full of gooc
company. Here found sixteen Methods
ministers, and large number Of laymen
: from the Eastern States, on their way to TIL
i Convention TO be held at Utica, as recent,
i noticed in the Telegraph. In the mornin'
: they flowed in, until there were thirty or Cor
~ ministers OF them at breakfast, and an ad
dilional number Of laymen. The object
n this Convention is, to take measures to brin
