The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1866-06-09

Southwest Indiana does not report that
number. There seems to be room fol-
improvement-for a general waking
up-in Sabbath School matters, in the
pocket part of the State.
A trip up the Ohio is familiar to
most of the JOURNAL S readers. Were
it not so, more poetic brain than
ours would be required to portray the
beautiful scenery that greets the be-
holder at every bend Of the river. The
hills, rocks and varigated foliage that
fringe the banks Of the Ohio-display-
ing wealth Of emerald green of every
shade and hue-and romantic hooks
and coves, ARE well calculated to entrap
lovers into entangling alliances, while
they charm and soothe those in whom
years have da1npened the fires of
youth. Sd
Our trip was pleasant, because we
had most agreeable and sociable
company. Allseemed anxious to con-

utmost to make every passenger feel
at home, and succeeded most.admira-

crowded, less inconvenience was ex-
perienced than could reasonably have
been expected The officers merit
the thanks of their passengers for
their kindness and attention, In addi-
ton to their success i'm landing them
in New Albany an hour or two ahead
of time. F. .t'.e9J @a reg. . 80 81
