here is very quiet, having no Sunday cars d
disturb the worship of the various congregal

Is God OF the Sabbath. There are eight chu, che
here-two Dutch Reformed, one Baptist, two|
Methodist, one Episcopal, one colored, and ond|

to our ride
One morning we started for Ellenville. ten|
or twelve miles south of this place. It was
rather warm; but gentle shower had render
ed the roads very pleasant. We drove very
slow, as our horse belonged to the slow COACH
line; but good companion made the time nv
away very rapidly, as we did not notice the
flight OF time till we reached the place of our
destination. llanville is pleasantly situated
between two ranges of mountains, and il, d
should think, nice and cool in summer and
wal m in winter.
1t is situated on the Delaware and Hudson
Canal and does large freighting business be-
ing the business centre of large region Of
country, accessible by plank and other roads,
Four stages daily leave here, going in as many
directions viz: Que to Newburg, one to Kings
ton, one to Fallsburg, and one west. There
is glass factory which does large business
and gives employment to great number Of
people. We put up at the hotet of our friend
Tcnvilliger, who keeps good house and if .
person wishes to rusticate awhile, he had bet

delicacies Of the city, including the many
blessings you cannot get there. Our ride home
was delightful, and we often stopped our pony

rounding hills and valleys, the scenery Il
which was rich ard attractive to the eye. We
spent the evening at old Warwarsing " with
some friends, from whom it was rather difficult
to tear ourselves away, as we were compelled
to. by the latcness of the hour. The moon was
shining in all its glory, letting the reins lay
loose, We gave ourselves away to meditation
on the works Of God, as revealed in nature, &c.
We reached home late and refreshing our
selves with the New Workers. panccea, milk, we
retired to rest
There are several weekly HERALDs taken
here, believe, and but one daily, which IL
taken by very fee and intelligent old
farmer, who wants to know every day what
is going On in this little world OF ours. Az
regards politics here, the people are too
much engaged in harvest to attend to politics,
and the consequence is they know nothing
worth putting On record, but as Kingston weak
