last in Springfield, riding after n fast
nag with Timothy Titcomb, since when
| have been in, through and over my
native town, visiting with neghbors
who greet me with warm and friend
ly hearts. 1t is truly refreshing to see
once more the towering hills, and get
upon their giddy heights, the noble oak
the lofty pine and the blooming chest
nut tree; yea, more, to see and hear the
gurgling streams trickling down the
hill sides, and which, ere they reach
the bottom, are made to turn ard pro-
pei various kinds Of machinery. The
inventive genius of the Yankee, who
makes all kinds of Yankee Notions ~
Oh every stream and rivulct in New
England, will not allow even drop Of
water to be lost. Then the larger
streams and the steam engines in the
larger places, and the manufactures,
are doing a fiourishing business, and
their proprietors are all getting as rich
rs mud. Some of the larger establish
ments pay monthly tax Of from $50 900
to $75, 900 to Government, and 1 know
one that paid $138, 900 last month. The
profits are enormous,--the manufacture
ers getting two or three times the cost
of their goods. know the mills, know
the men, know the cost of making and
price of selling. For instance, Selacia,
which is in every days USE, costs now
TO manufacture about Is cents yard,
and sells i'm market for SIS cents. The
profits per day are counted by the hun
dreds, and In many cases by the tlious-
ands.

confusion of busy city L DO not forget
you or the Cedar River, but wish you
were here about these days to see and
hear, to eat and be happy. This IS
busy week in Boston. The Mechanics
Fair, sundry exhibitions of floral and
horticulture! products, horse shows and
fast nags, and everything else you may
imagine. In fact, one grows weary in
Sightseeing especially QUO who has
not seen any thing for three or four
years.
Yesterday vas basy. Went to Wor-
ccster a couple Of hours to see II county
show, and came back here in the even
ing, when / went to Music Hall and
heard the celebrated organ Of that insti-
tuition. Well, j heard the music, and
such music as you never heard OH the
Cedar River, and never will hear un-
less i take Boston and transport it to
your place. This organ Of which l
speak is 75 feet high, AS feet front, has
about 1000 keys, and is constructed. SO
that it initiates the human voice; ii can
also he made tU thunder iii louder tones
than you ever heard on the western
plains. This great machine is driven
by wQtcr, y fact I did not know until
last evening. Think of an organ twice
az high MS Ovcrman's block, nearly as
wide, and think also OF ten thousand
thunders, and you fail then to compre-
hend the whole matter.

Sir William Francis, whom / took

equal to anything he has seen west Of
