East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1863-10-07

lage nndthe chaotic region of Saginaw
is marvellous, but interesting, and We
certainly enjoyed a weeks association
with kindYpd and friends, and cur old
acquaintances, the hills and valleys,
stone fences, oss.-igfoNqa,gSs, the old
whereon We so often knocked our in
FAINT toe-noils out Of gear, the old
chestnut tree in the pasture, the pond,
the brook, the willow path which led
to the house Of our jovial old grand
father, who used SO TO delight in
pokiug innocent FUN at US, 80 as we do
now at our successors--the mill race,
and the Still River, then long jour
ney--as wei as we over did Il week Of
our life, and the remembrance of old
friends, and scenes, and incidents thus
removed and frcshened viii dwell with
us always, Whenever and however we
journey toward that final restto which
all stops are tending.
AS diversion, while waiting adj
vices from parties we expected to meet
in New York, we made visit to the
solemn City of spindlos, now chiefly
notorious as being the headquarters
OF Gen. Butler and Ayrc's Medicines
While there visited the monster pill,
powder, and pcctoral institution
since burned down--of Mr.. Aver,
made notorious and fabulous, almost,
by the liberl use of printers ink"
witnessed the action of one of the most
ingenious printing machines in the
world, and several others not so ingen-
ious, the mode manner and style of
mixing up, stirring up, bottling and
boxing up the various nostrums
there produced, and came away with
the profound impression that it was
very like any other pill shop, and that
'distancelends enchantment" to every
thing about it except the girls in the
/ bindeIy.
Save the Carpet Works and a few
other corporations, but little is doing
in Lowell in the way of of manulac-
turing cloths. 1t is duh place, claims
to have ten thousand inhabitants out
on furlough, and is the most demurc
city in America at present, Flint not
excepted.
We also journeycd over into Man.
( chester, n. IT,, where through the po-
likeness of L. HOBBS, Esq, brother o.
our HoDBs, we were enabled te make
an examination of the Amoskeap
Steam Fire Engine Works-and by.
the-bye we lost all conceit of Hand
Machines by that means--the Gun
Works lately put in operation, where
muskets Of the Springfield pattern ar,
manufactured nearly all the worl
from forging the barrels TO the lates
least, under the guidance of Mr. Dow
we passed thro' the Manchester Prin
Works while in operation, a sight, t
one who has never witnessed it, wortl
a journey Of Il thousand miles to see.
Manchester is dull, also, the cottor
Factories not being in operation, bu
time did not hang heavily on ou
haads while there, and we left viii
the best kind of an impression of tina
particular section Of the Granite State
From there we made our way homo
ria Worcester, Springfield, the ricl
and charming valley of the Connect.
cut, Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport
Norwolk and so on to New York, from
there by day boat through the unri
vailed scenery Of the Hudson to Al.
bany, thence by rail to Rochester,
where we enjoyed for few days the
hospitality Of our respected friend
GEORGE a. WuKIv, viewed with in
terest the spots made memorable by
Sam Patch, Ira Stout, the Fox Girls
and other mysterious notorieties OF
that mysterious city, indulgcd in a
slight taste of Lake Ontario white
fish with a mouthful' of "pure
juice" TO wash it down, performed
that interminahle pilgrimage to the
top of the Court House cupola--it
takes away our breath to think of it,
but the panorama was superb-had a
pleasant season generally, and left for
home Monday, September 20, r'd. n.
Y. Central and Buffalo and Lake HUI

the usual overland route to the hub"
ofall this proliiicregion, East Saginaw,
n good deal more of town than Il
great many more pretentious cities
which we visited in our brief porigrin-
