EAST GRANVILLE, Muss.. July llth. 1889.
FRiEND HioGlNs :--Whpn | left the beautiful
valley of the Maumee, promised myself the
pleasure oI occasionally chsting with you
through your interesting Journsl which hope
| TO receive from week To week. How do you
| suppose western man could while away his
| time without his fav0rite western paper? The
thing is not supposable--t is not in the nature
| of things.
| Our trip across lake Erie, was pleasant not
withstanding irr sh brsrze sprung up causing
us to cast up our accounts, which we neglect.
I'd to do before we started. However We had
no rason 10 complain.as we had good company,
comfortable quarters, aud excellent fare--on the
whole, charming time. We sraved in But-
Ialo too late to take the 6 z. Nj. train, aud u
fortunate thing it was, as that train run off the
track, end of course we were unharmed. We
little know what is hest for us; bnt we attrih
ute our good luck to a kind Providence, who
| preserves through danger seen and unseen.
At III +. Nj we stepped upon slsepinS car,
selected our berhs, and lust us we were pre-
pairing to stow ourselves away our cars were
g,c tied with ding |ing--.ding, when in
cam" the Cleveland Express train, aud no sooner
| had ii come TO halt than a rush was made for
the sleeping car. | took my stand on the plat
torn at the rear end to what | could SEE
| Among the multitude that entered the car, al
| The heels OF y gentlemen aud lady, was n chat
| tel, black as the ace OF spades, casting shallow
| of darkness that cnntrastrd strangely with the
brilliantly Illuminated Depot. Her mistriss said
very emphiricalls to her to " take seat there,
b ing little srds seat ut th- rear enl Of the car
| and b. careful aud not fnl off She replied
eyes mssiS,' and no snouer he'd her mistress left
her than the chltte rpp'ie IN an uni-r tone II
might as well die one tine as rnothrr," looking
Tor oil the world as sour as sour krout i'sef -
Shorty after, her usstsr cnm- b ok to see to his
chatte, and caution her: | ask 1t her where she
was ir m--she replied form New Orleans and
going to Plymouth, Mass. | could plainly ser
thai she was neither conentsd ur h,ppy she
! laid her bundle under her head and was soon to
all appeO RANGES fast asleep.
We had comfortable trip, aud arrived OF
ALBANY in tim for the Boston Express train
| We were hiudred few IN lments al each "Lrook'
on account Of powerful ,ain which had " ashrd
the embankments III many places badly. How.
ever we arrived safely d, the mountain home oi
our parents, and was rrjoiced to be once NOR,
smong our friends on the granite hills of the
Old Bay State.
The weather, since our arrival, has been un.
usually warm until to-day. when a pleasan,
change has taken place, caused by heavy thun
der storm accompanied BY s:veTe wind, and
hoil.
The crops. so far as I could Judge from hssty
| bloHCe' "SIe &'ol anu sn comment mat We
may now safely calculate on All abundan,
harvest Wheat appears to be uncommonly
good, and low prices for -four, after September
will be the order of the day. Corn looks wei
hut backward; il will not compare with our
| Msumee Valley corn. Other crops look prom
issing tx ept Fruit Th:rs will be almost a
failure OF the apple crop in this section of the
country. Politics does not ser m to he the
order OF the day, as do not remember to have
heard it mentioned on my journey; this TRIP
being an exception to all Others h.ve ex,
perlAnced. Perhaps il is better not TO stir the
Buchanan pool, IS an unpleasant odor might
be the consequence
! have thought il would ba we'll that re-.
ward OF fifty cents (but no coss) should be Of
frred by the "governmsnt for one Franklin
Pierce, formally OF Concord, N. H., who srrsyrd
away or was stolen from Washington City, ID

nation in regard to the said FarnkIin might
