Having taken passage few days ago on the
Isasc Newton We we're steamed up the river a, rate
that would have asionished Robert Fulton In his days
10 fact the Floating Palace itself without its ponder
Gus machinery would have opened the old gen,emsns
optics pretty widely As Daniel Webster ssid Of Mssss-

the traveller but did not indulge curiosity much

Charter Oak when his last visit to Hartford The
beautiful Public High School just completed at cost Of
about $4,000 10 large hreestory brick building and
all the neements for heating ventilation, study &c
