vrsrr To NEwARK.--MR. EDtToRs-A re-
cent visit to this 6onrishing little town Is the
Z occasion of a few remarks upon its situation,
business, schools, &c. hope not to interfere
with your regular correspondents, who have re-
Gently furnished so many letters from this
place.
On entering Newark was at once struck
with the pacific air of serenity which PREVAIL
ed, and was impressed with the fact that it
must be very desirable location to those who
prefer quiet, retired residence, to one of bus
tie and commotion. There was not that tu-
multuous agitation in the street, which is char
| acteristic of many towns smaller even than
| the one In question. In fact every body APP

found fewer idlers lettering about tho hotels
than in most places, and not single disorder
ly parsonage. Among the most enterprising
men OF industrial pursuits that came under our
observation were Messrs. johnson, Bandy, Il
Co., whom we found diligently engaged in the
manufacture Of Manny's Reaper, Zone OF which
we use, and find it superior to any OF the yari-
Gus kinds we have seen in operation.) Other
firms which may deserve notice will please ex-
cuse the non-allusion to their merits, since we
J have very limited acquaintance with the
} town.
} Coming into conversation with some of the
Collegiates, with whom we had the good for
tune to be acquainted, we Inferred that active
! preparations are being made Tor the Annual
J Commandment which will take place on Tues
day, june 80.
The scenery in and AROUND Newark is more
picturesque ut this season than during any
, other portion of the year. The beautiful ioli-
