AR. EDTroR:-After my refreshing nights rest
on the store porch at Bangor, arose with the in
tention Of leaving the place possible. So
forthwith performed my morning abiutions. and
ate my breakfast OF crackers and raw ham with 3
good relish and q christian spirit.
then shouldered my carpet lag aad set out for
Wyandotte, a village situated some seven miles
west Of Bangor. As l went out of town, l saw 3
man sitting on a fence, who recognized as my old
friend F-n. He was once very Enterprisins
man; but as he nc longer bears that name, passed
without molesting him. In fact l ihoughtit would
be q sin, to make myself known to him and thus
disturb the beautiful serenity of his countenance.
So, meditatively. trudged on, in hopes Of meeting
with better success in the way of sales at my next
stopping place.
Just as was feeling somewhat weary and thirs
ty. arrived at the brow of the hill overlooking "
which formed quite pretty view. and in spite Of
the dryness of all vegetation at this of the
year, everything (as seen through my goggles)
presented very verdant appearance. pushed on
and was soon at the Exchange. Stepping into the
Barroom, called for the proprietor. A man with
child in his arms (and who from his department
concluded was an astrologer,) } told me that Anne
was sick. l expressed my regrets at the proprie-
tors illness, and asked him what was was the all
ment He replied that be really did not know but
the Doctor spoke of amputation. "Ah, indeed"
said I; settled inflammation l suppose? Arm or
leg p Hum, they only intend cutting of part
of bis daily allowance of-su gar and peppermint? :?
was the reply. 30, see,' said /. After which he
winked at me severely and disappeared.
After partaking of one of Mrs. T-s excellent
dinners, (and must not forget the little black
eyed maiden who waited upon me. in offering my
praises) strolled out to take look at the place
was particularly struck by the artistic appearance
Of the residence situated down the street from the
Hotel, and upon inquiry was informed that it be-
to Drs. S--r Il Tn, associate Physicians, whose
intention it is to convert the establishment into
Medical Resort" and Institute" for widows and
orphans in poor health. 1t is truly beautiful sit
aaton. and one well adapted to the proposed pur-
pose. consider the plan is calculated to ben
eft W. and is credit the originator"
Walking along the street came to building
which l Immediately recognized as the Village
Store" was soon chatting away with the Store
Keeper and several others. In reply to my inqui
ries in regard to the times last excitement, &C..
was informed that the last excitement was caused
by an Address delivered by F. NJ. Smith, to the
Juveniles of Wyandotte and vicinity, in which he
gave them a spirited account Of the many trials
and trbulations he had borne, with martyr-like
meekuess in order to give them an idea of the
beauties of forbearance. The interest he awakened
in their youthful minds, was made manifest by the
death like silence with which they listened to his
discourse at the close of which they cheered vigor-
ously and Mr. Smith was so overcome by his feel
ings, that he retired from the stand supported by
Charley P-d, who was compelled to fan him hur-
riedy to restore animation. ! next returned to the
Hotel resolved on good nap, where will bid you
a good afternoon. l will likely remain at this
place several days. and then continue my travels to
Stringtowu and vicinity, and thence, farther into
mountains. Yours Progressively,
