DR.. B. and myself took an carly start
fross Upper sandnsky for Carey on last
Monday morning a wcek-arrived at Cary
about J O'Clock same moning-hati to
remain there till one O'Clock p. NJ At
this hour we embarked on tie cars for
Clyde; lcftthcrc for'rolcdo about3 O'Clock
p. M.-arlived at Toledo about o o'clock
During this time nothing ola serious ma
ture occurred. | visited the Democratic
and wing printing Offices at Toledo
found nobody at home ct Tie Whlg Office
but found one OF the editors at the Demo
cratic Office in his Sdartans. He appear
ed like very gentlemanly fellow. To-
ledo is rapidly improving, and will some
day, be very important point. | like
the location of this city very much.
Tuesday morning, we left our Hotel at
Toledo for the raging canal in an Omni-
bus, in which we had lady-sairlooking
and having fair portion Of intelligence.
DR.. B. got upon tie same seat in the
Omnibus with her, and commenced chat
ing. After getting on the boat we STAR
ed out, and on the way up the raging
canal this lady fell in love with Doc, ci-
Tier for his good looks, red hair or pleas
ant conversation know not which | really
think tie doctor might have brought Ler
right along with Linn. This shows how
some of the females are carried away at
first sight. This lady probably was not
aware that Dr. B. was married man. |
never want to take another voyage on the
raging canal for it is ten fold more tedious
than hack riding.
The Wabash and Erie Canal is ccntan-
" one of the best canals in the country,
and no doubt is d great advantage to the
farmers; for it gives them good market
for all their grain, hogs and everything
they raise. We met some fifteen or
twenty boats on their way to Toledo,
loaded with cows, wheat and whisky The
last article ought to be cheap, judging
from the apparent large quantity on the way
down, and in view of tie enactment Of the
Maine liquor law in the various States.
We also met one boat loaded with live
hogs going towards Toledo Pork is on
the move.
Intraveling alongthe canalwe saw some
very beautiful country-some near De-
fance. Just above this place we took a
board of our boat about dozen of the fair
ones of this city They were rather good
looking, but poor singers.
Some Of the country is very rough and
sickly looking, as you can imagine
when | inform you of what was told me.
We came to swamp where we saw avery
large quantity of dead timber standing.
after asking the reason of so much dead
timber, gentleman said it was in conse-
qucnce of it having the ague SO much that
it shook all the bark off and stood exposed
naked to the cold winters. Well, from the
appearance Of the swamp it looks almost
reasonable that such might be tie cause
of the death of the timber in that region.
The town of Peru is some smaller than
Upper Sandusky, but is quite string
place for business. The citizens here ap-
pear to be enterprising and energetic per-
sons-possessed with the necessary quail
ications to push things forward. They
have two or three railroads under way that
come into this town. Ex. Gov. Bebb was
here to-day agitating railroad from some
other point to this place. 1t is said he
made quite speech upon the propriety
necessity and practicability of this new
road. I do not know the points of the
road. There are two papers published
here, each having a good support, better
than the Pioneer has. | send you one so
you can see the list of advertising done in
little town like this. Every little paper
in the country has better advertising
support than is given to our paper. Are
not these facts almost sufficient to discour-
age man from publishing paper in Up
per Sandusky, although he have the per-
severance of an elephant
Before returning l shall go to several
other towns in hooscrdom, and may vet
see something to suit NE better than I
have seen. There are several places that
| have been in that would please me very
well, were it not for the fact that they al
ready have Democratic papers published
