! peotable part Nv the komuhity. I guess
Fare-vu is not very ginerally known to the
fTemane, and so it will be necessary for me
to Civ you a site sketch of this very remark
able sitivation. Fare-vu is rather loosely
lokated q distance from any where, and a
stranger is struck very hard by the regerlari-
ty of the street, which runs pretty giner-
ally all the wa thru it. 1t hes the largest
poperlaShin Nv emmy phase in the United
Stats, akordin to the number of the inhabi-
tants, biziness is now very dull, sinse the
Rebelyun is dun and split brumes ar not so
mutch made. 1t has CRATE facilitys fur trade
IN the grinestope line. as there ar a never
failin supply of materiel close to hand Thare
ar no plaise to my KNOWN which has so
mutch rune for Improvement as Fare-vu, ez
thare IL hepe of land all round it. It is
the iokashin fur the stivashun of the nu
ytnegao1 church, as you will Sc by referin to
the map of the kounty. But it IL not Le-
cesary fur me to go inter emmy lenthy akount
nv the plaise, fur if the Freeniane ever kums
this wa, and IL a little observin, if it is a
clere day, he will see the plaise hisself. But

Thare waz no panes spared to make it a
moosin and entertainer. Nun but the very

allowed TO put in thare appearance, and the
rif-raf' an1 iog-endS were ginerally notified
that there war no show fer them. SO the
singin went on, and like all good things
yearthly, (as Deakin Peabody says,) had to
