SIR:
Why is it that you have not regular correspon-
dent in this place Is it because we not worthy
of your notice You must be well aware that you
have good many friends here, from the number OF
" Heralds" that are taken here and also, that we
have as pretty town as can be found, OF Its size,
in these United States, or Texas.
There has been fair business done here this sea-
son SO far although not to great an extent as last
year. Wheat, flour, pork, butter, &c., have come
in in pretty large quantities, and have found very
ready market. Most of the wheat and pork have
found their way to the Canada market, that being
the best for our western people. The crops gener-
ally look fine this season, and if there is no "pull
backs' before harvest, we shall turn out any guam
tity OF produce from this State.
The weather which has been pretty cold all the
spring, has now little the appearance of summer,
but still we have not we can call warm day yet
or the weather warm enough to make corn grow
nicely except in hot beds.
Temperance, women, and bankrupts all flourish
to some considerable extent. The temperance folks
are doing pretty good business here they have
meetings often, and call upon all, men, women and
children, to sign the pledge. Still we have plenty
Of places where wines, &c. can be had, and lots Of
consumers but for the asking.
The ladies, " God bless them,'' are all smiles and
handsome dresses; but if they do like to dress well
they are excusabe for they do likewise in other
places A mention Of some Of them may not be amiss
To commence, there is Miss @, the adopted,
who always looks if she had just come out Of the
handbook and she carries such sweet pretty face,
that one would almost swear that she belonged to
that world where all are beautiful. She has some
attractions Miss -, who report says is engaged
to nice young man, formerly Of Manhattan"
can compare with any for pretty face, and she is
we'll aware Of ttoo There is also pretty widow,
sometimes strike fire. but whether it will take when
he meets Mrs. 49,; but isn't she beautiful and
such sweet disposition, and that child OF hers =
where is there another such, excepting Bennett Jr
So go it Mr. Rock There are lots OF others that
could mention, and may at some future date
Bankrupts we have in any quantity, and some OF
Them the most fashionable" part of the commu-
date. He lives in good style has servants for his
ady-dresses in first rate style, and everything IN
proportion but still he is poor that he cannot pay
cent even to the poor laboring people, that can
hardly get bread for their families and who have
worke for him in that part of the that work
is to be had and might state to you lots OF cases
that are Of the same stamp among all classes law,
yers commission men, merchants, &c. In my next
will send YOU list Of all that have petoned for
lease under this law, in this city and county :,
The banks Chat were in this city, are down, with
the exception OF " sand banks;" they have been able
TO stand the upon them thus lar, and mink VIII
be for some time to come

the banks that resumed in March are IN good condi-
ton, and think will continue so, as there IS pui
! limited demand for coin Exchange may be quoted
