5 Leaving Columbus on the afternoon
Cleveland train, Tuesday, June 9th, we ar
rived at Shelby, Richland county, in the
evening, on time. This is a pleasant and
flourishing town near the junction Of the
Cleveland and Columbus, and the New
ark, Mansfield and Sandusky Railroads.
Here we found our friend, Hon. S. S. BLOOM,
the Representative from Richland, buslly
engaged in his office. He and his partner,
Mr.. OwINas, are doing handsome busi-
ness, collecting soldiers claims, pensions,
&c. They have general collection and in
surance Office, and are also running nice
drug store, and printing office. They are
constantly at work, and we believe they
are making money. We enjoyed the ele-
giant hospitality of Mr.. BLOOM, during our
stay at Shelby; and we cannot express too
high an appreciation of his kindness and
courtesy.
MANsFIELD-MR. GLEssNER AND OTHERS.
From Shelby we went to Mansfield, on
Wednesday. June z, through one of the
farmers had been praying for 1t, and 1t came
in very good time. Here we, as matter OF
course, .sput up" at Thornton's Weldon
House, where the guests are always prop
erly cared for. This is very pleasant
town, containing some 5000 inhabitants,
and 1t is quite business place. Among
its enterprising and substantial citizens, are
such men as JOHN Y. GLEssNER editor OF
The Shield and Bdnner; JONAS SMITH, late
County Auditor; Mr.. SNYDER, the present
County Auditor; Hon. BARNA BURNS, Hon.
WIN. JOHNSTON, NJ. MAY, Esq, and many
Others that we would be glad to name had
we the space. JONAS SMITH isabout build
ing fine residence in a beautiful part Of
the city and In all Mansfield there isn't
anything more superb and elegant than the
mansion and grounds of our friend GLEss-
NER. He and his accomplished family en-
tertain their friends with kindly and
courteous hospitality that we never fail to
appreciate. T . H3H %. .a.'.'.'' r.fi"

\ We left Mansfield on the forenoon train
Of Friday, June 9th, on the Pittsburgh, Ft,
/ Wayne, and CUcago Railway, and took
/. Dinner at the Pierson House in Upper San
dusky. This town is the capital of Wyan-
dot county, and is very pretty, thriving
place. 1t is built on part of the Wyandot
Indian Reservation, and has many objects
of interest in and around it; and we know
of no town of its size that has more glori-
Gus good fellows in it than UpperSandusky.
We are under special obligations to CURTIS

genial gentlemen as c. r. Mott, Robert Nc

fett, Henry A. Hoyt, w. B. Hitchcock, Mr..
Vanmarter, j. NJ. Orr, Mr.. DUNN, editor of

ment of writing this paragraph. :irpf
BUCYRUs. ~
We took the Saturday forenoon east
ward bound train and arrived at Bucyrus
for Dinner. This is splendid town, glori-
ously Democratic; and its people are whole
souled, hospitable, and generous. We were
there but few hours, and shall reserve
what we have to say about it and some OF
its inhabitants, until we make longer stay
there-which will be before long. b.
