TRrSroy FALLS, n. Y. IA miles from Utica

Mn. STAcY,-Dear Sir: This is my first visit to
Schenectady, va new world opens to my view. The
valley through which pass from Troy TO Utica at
this time looks to me beautiful; the scenery varied
and varying; the fields, the trees, the
cred rocks, all clothed in their deep, deep greendH
seemingly clothed TO their hearts content, look sml-
ing in joyousness Who can help adnirlng the love-
illness of the scene? Utica appears to me pleasant
city the scenery diversified is by hills and daes
by river, rocks, and mountains, by beautiful fields
flowers, shrubbery and trees, fine residences stores
public buildings, and an active population of ndusrl-
thousands, is altogether attractive and delightful.
New Hartford is four miles from Utica In going 10
this place you get view of the Insane Asylum,
very large and beautiful building of grey granite sit,
uated little out of the city of Utica. The grounds
attached TO the institution are beautifully laid out and
well arranged for the of the inmates. New Hart
ford is pretty country town, with some cotton man
ufaclories, and population of about four thousand.
When the country was first settled, it was expected
that this would be large place, but Utica oii ii far

MR.. FELTON-AGAIN.

The Middlebury Galaxy seems TO mani.
fest some irritation at the circumstance that
we should have measurably exonerated Mr..
FELTON, from the "miserable, loose, slip-shod
character of the first survey" of the Rutland
route. To all which we have only to say,
that it is a rule of ours to endeavor to do
prompt and honorable justice TO every indi-
vidual to whom we may have attributed acts
for which he is not responsible. We thought
on further investigation, that Mr.. FELTON,
ought not to be charged with the disgrace Of
having made the first survey, and so stated.
But the Galaxy thinks otherwise, and says
"Now we believe nothing can be so unjust 10
attempt to screen Mr.. FELTON, in this manner From
the statements given by Mr.. Tracy at the Rutland
Meeting it appears that the survey was made accord
ing tn the directions OF Mr.. FELTON, who thought that
a as nearly direct as practicable should be pur.
sued and expressed his opinion that high grades were
not very Objectionable, especially where large out
lays could thereby be avoided"
Very well. What oft? Did Mr.. Tracy
consider himself called upon under that in.
struction to avoid an equally direct and shor
route, of easy grades, and cheaper construc.
ton, which IS proved to exist parallel with
and almost within a stones through of the
frst7 he did, the public will hardly give
i. that Interpretation. The survey of Mr.
Gilbert lessons the distance half a mile, get
rid Of the Objectionable grades entirely, ant
materially lessons the expense of grading
Why did not Mr.. Tracy select this location
1t doubtless existed then, and the presump
lion is, that the face of the country has no
materially changed in the mean time. Til,
truth is, Mr.. Tracy was incompetent for tn
service assigned him, or neglected to do HI
duty. The survey was reproach 10 civ
engineering, and disgracefu to those VIII
made it.

men to buy wool, and consequently there lie no
competition, and only few Sales and those at
reduced prices. And this is just what the Wings
predicted would be one Of the consequences OF
Mr.. Folks election. Had Mr.. Clay been cleo.
ted there would have been an increased demand
and an enhanced price even from last year paid
for il this, and for the plain reason that perrna.
ncnt protection would have been considered as
settled matter
The Loco editors very generally arc shooting
their light arrows at the Tariff Of 1912. And
what does this mean! why, to prepare their
readers to go with Polk aud Walker to reduce
it. They say It don't protect wool. II did &C
last year to a reasonable extent. But il is now
in different hands aud exposed to a different
destiny, and tina. which is the result Of Folks
election they falsely attribute to defects in the
law. These things were not so, every body
knows, before the law fell into the hands Of the
Phi!istines.
We lay the above letter from Mr.. Folks Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury before our readers, tina
they may see what the Polk Slave. party are
about. 1t is a sort Of official announcement
and of course to be needed as SUCH II won
be found probably in the Polk prints in Yer
mont, Just Cdledonidn.

A New ARTICLE OF ExPoRT.-We are told
that Yankee broom maker in Ohio has leased
twelve hundred acres Of bottom land, OH the
Scioto river, near Columbus, and planted the
entire plot in broom corn, with the view to ex.
port the crop in England, where he intends to
proceed himself, and engage in the manufac.
turing of brooms, taking with him the wood for
the handles, and the machinery used for the
purpose. Brooms made from the American
corn, are so much superior, for various uses, to
any thing TO be had in Eng land, that they have
become, within few years past, quite a favor
lite in that country, and are now exported ,hi,her
in large quantities.
