Ice, like liquid tart All. me! as all this comes
before me, and again see and hear the steady
fall of the buttermilk and the splash Of the CO.
agulated eIabber. as they fall in the tin recep
lacles, all teach that in regard to epicurean de-
lights, there are many things on Grand River
that neither wisdom nor philosophy have ever
dreamed Of. On great occasions, however,
am told that roast 'possum, stuffed win sage
and onions, and Haaked with two or three pla-
,oons of pawpaws, add their presence and odors
10 the feasts. This, however. never saw; but
it certainly must be very interesting sight.
A VISIT TO A HIGHLY REsPxcrABLE FAMILY.
While riding along, one day, l happened 10
come across the Rev. Mr.. A.. a mammoth spc'
cimen of eye hunters of Kentucky. Aiter
gazing in admiration upon his gigantic proper
tons, scraped up an introduction. He inform
ed me that he was on his way to hunt up a
preacher named s., and Ill, I wanted to see a
preacher of TIE genus Gtand River, to come
along. eagerly embraced the opportunity.
While traversing many meandering roads, in
search of the residence Of this Grand River di-
vine, we were suddenly confronted by an appa-
rition which undoubtedly came from the lowest
region Of Grand River. Upon inquiry. we as
certained that this person was none other than
the Rev. Mr.. S. himself; which information he
impaired in the following gust Of G. R. elo-
quencc: "I'm the geatlensn you }elie's is in
sarch of; 50 come along, and tell me all the
news" Following the lead of our august guide,
We steered towards his residence, and while
travelling, we had time to survey our host He
was drexe ed in the sweet and native elegance
of the Winter costume Of G. R., with the addi-
ton of shirt of drab linsey, which concluded
was mark of G. X. grandee. He was d.
minutive in stature, but this he atoned for, by
riding an elephanti,.e quadruped of the equine
tribe. The effect of this vas appreciated, as
the deep cade ca of his voice, like the prolong'
ed echo of gong, gently descended on ouI
ear. Soon We arrived at the hospitable roof o
our worthy friend, and were received BY hi:
lady and three lovely daughters, who. judging
from the appearance Of their faces and raiment
had a hydrophobiac adherence Of cold water
But this is only striking instance Of exalted
minds icing above tho foolish fashions of some
