chat both fish were in the freshness OF their per-
feet favor. What imperial within could ever Guido
such combination as that provided for the enter
tanment of four hundred Democrats few
speeches received with infinite good humor crown
cd the dessert. Mr.. Briggs Of Cleveland, MIR.
Butler on behalf Of the Directors, Mr.. ClaPp, OF
The Buffalo Express, and one or two other gen.
tlenen whose modesty begs rae not to PRINT tseir
names, said happy snd timely word ana sS'
down amid appauding cheers. BY some lucky
fortune the social elements were never more agree
ably combined than on this occasion, and no one
could resist, had he desired, the magnetism OF the
universal enjoyment. Without effort anywhere
there was good time everywhere. Among the
party notice., after the ladies of course,-Ex-
Governor Marcy, Judge Parker, Controller Wright,
Judge Ruggles, Hon. A. G. E'lagg, Hon. Nelson J'
Beach Prof Sattler, Rev. Dr. Tying, Rev. Dr.

Mr.. Wilson of The Ner- York Times, and other
gentlemen nero or less prominent in the public
regard.
We sailed up Maumee Bay in delicious tran
euillity of air and sea. The whole party on
deck feastng on the day and the spectacle, while
a band on the bows made the eXpanse ring with
music, 10y the way that music was execrable;
Heaven forgive the men that made, and the commit
tee that paid for IT. A noble river is the Mau-
NEE despite the fairness of its shores. On the
left bank below Toledo stands most melancholy
and utterly deserted village called Manhattan.
The buildings are there for a numerous population,
among them q big hotel, but never an nhabtant
etrs in the streets, never guest knocks for lodging
and entertainment. The houses Of wood, UNI
painted and brown and old with the weather and
with neglect but do not seem yet to have begun
actually 10 fall to pieces. The town is relic of
the speculations Of 1S36-7,--that blessed epoch of
free trade, and its offspring, bankrupty,-when
many a poor fellows fortune was swamped in its
water lots. Just behind lies an extensive marsh
rich in the elements of pestilent fever which
came in soon after the first settlers, most of
whom this disease laid in un,mely graves, while
the rest fled, never to return. Meanwhile To-
ledo, which lies up the river, in higher and
healthier ground, has thrven and still thrves.
IA % tha NJ canals and railroads and
must become one OF the most important cities
on Lake Erie. The Northern Indiana stopped
there for the night and we went ashore before
set to see the town. II must be said that its exter
nal attractions chiefly those which might please
Q business man who wants to make money. The
situation is one Of no great beauty and the place,
like most Western towns, is as vet in a somewhat
shrysalis and unfinished state. But there is air
of energy and prosperity along its whaTes which
shows that it's advantages will not go uDmproved.
A piacard about the streets invited the public to
spend that evening at the theater, big, Imprinted
wooden edifce where Mr.. Geo. w. JamisOn would
have the honor Of appearing in his 6yorite charac-
ter Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark. The reno an
Of Mr.. JamisOn, not acquired US dramatic artist,
but am sorry to say, as an artist in letter-writ-
ing induced some young gentlemen OF the party
TO comply with the invitation, but kindly omit
their criticisms upon his efforts.
On board the steamer we had tea, AMI then what
is 20 dear TO the American heart public meeting.
In truth the occasion spontaneously prompted an
expression Of the general admiration for the boat
on which we courteousy entertained and
of good wishes for the Company which showered
upon us these splendid attentions. Accordingly |
all assembled in the upper saloon, Hon. GREENE |
T.. Bronson was made Chairman, Mr. May |
nard of Buffalo and Mr.. Dana of New ork Secre-
taries, and Committee of some dozen prominent
gentlemen was chosen to prepare resolutions.
Two highly complimentary resolutions pres
emily reported and adopted by reclamation, and
then the call for speakers. Rev. Dr. Yer
milye and DIR. Tying successfully responded with
felicitous elOquence that might have delighted an
audience great more critical than good humor and
genial abandon made this one. Mr.. Loder of the
Ere Railroad, and Mr.. Briggs of Ohio were also
heard from, but soon the business was over and
dancing began. Old and young gave in to the
spirit of the scene and the hour, and even the |
music ofthe execrable band had happy ring with /
the accompaniment of gay voices and ringing |
laughter.
Early next morning the Northern Indiana LETT |
for Monroe, where is the terminus of the Railroad |
whose opening had brought as to the West, the |
Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana. The |
Company lease and work Branch Road, the Erie |
and Kalamazoo, 80 miles long, connecting with |
theirs at Adrian, and having its terminus at Toledo
bat we were to start from Monroe. There we |
arrived at about o'clock. Oa the wharf two |
military companies and a FIRE company, all in uni
form, were drawn up to salute our arrival with |
marital honors, while the boom OF cannon well |
coined us ere the boat had touched the dock. On |
disseminating the troops presented arms to the |
