HUNTSVILLE, ALA, Dec, Goth 1854.
DEAR TIMES:
AS it is something new for me to write let
ter for public perusa, knowing my incapabIty
OF properly dellnlating things that have come
under my observation will trespass, to but
numerous readers an indistlnct idea of this OBJ
scure town and its vicinity.
Huntsville, was hrst settled as town ia 1904.
and derived lts name from a family among her
first Pioneers. 1t is situated, as you are aware
on tho 35th deg, north latitude, some ten miles
north of the Tennessee river and about an equal
distance between Cincinnati and New Orleans
The Cumberland mountains form circle offul-
| ly three fourthS way around it; and which also
form the eastern boundary of the great Missis-
sippi valley
Being on no general thoroughfare, tsobscur-
ity, is readily perceived! This will be obvia-
ted however by the Memphis and Charleston
railroad now in course of construction, which
in two years time, and will form (doubtless) one
OF the main routes to the Pacific,
This place is considered by travellers the
handsomest inland town in the South, which ad.
ded to its pure mountain air, makes it extremely
: healthy, rendering ittherefore desirable pact
D of residence. The climate though not as warn
, as expected to find it. (at this season of tn,
: Year, will compare favorabiy with the month 0
: October in Smyrna, never getting cool enougl
: to snow,-the summersare unsu portably hot an
n sultry. The old settlers are principally Vii
ginians and goodly number of Philadelphani

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES oE THE PAST YEAR.
We find in our exchanges tabular statements
of the crimes and casualties in the United
States, during the year which has Just closed
The total amount of property destroyed by fire
is estimated, in round numbers, at twenty-five
millions of dollars. The number of persons
whose lives have been sacrificed by burning
buildings, is put down at one hundred and
seventy-one. There have heen one hundred
ano nlnety-three railroad accidents, killing one
hundred and eighty-slx persons, and wounding
five hundred and eighty-nine. There have also
been forty-eight steamboat accidents, killing
five hundred and elghty-seven persons, and
woundng two hundred and twenty-five. Du-
ring the year six hundred and eighty-two mur-
ders were committed, and eighty -four persons
were executed. In the State of New York
alone there were seventy-four murders and
| fifteen executions.

high, which supplies the town with pure whole
some water, by works modelled somewhat af-
ter the Fairmount works in Philadelphia. 1t is
carried to reservoir on the opposite side of
the town and from thence distributed over the
town, SO that in case of fire we cal be drench
ed having three fire companies always ready
for active service. In years gone by, the outlet
from this spring was cut into a canal for the
transportation of cotton of the surrounding
country to the river, but on the completion of
macadamlzed road the enterprise of latter years
has been abandoned. Education is very liberal
here, we have what is termed the Bascom In
sttute under the control of the NJ. E. Church,
male and famale seminary besides several
day schools, together with a charter for Col
lege which will soon be commenced. This be-
ing place of much wealth, there is of course
a great deal of extravaganza and fsshlon, every
one who is able, driving a fine carriage; in fact
for small town have yet to see its equal in
this respect, ladies' scarcely ever walking though
it be but few squares. We have six churches
each having bell, which when tollimg, tend
much to remind me of sabbath morning in the
old Quaker City. We also have a very fine
Theatre got up in regular style, it is owned by
Crisp of New York, who favors us once a veal
with fine stock company.
The trade of Huntsville is almost who'll,
with Philadelphia, our merchants placing bu
ltfla E1nDCo
for supplies, but am sorry to say that the bust
ness OF the town has been on the decline fo
the last twenty-five years. In 1925 it support
ed thlrty-two Dry goods stores and now we ca
boast of but eight. Thisis owing to accumula
