thereby exhausted IN strength. and with

seemed ssry formidable and beset on
ali sides With perls Through The mer

he alth Of three Of party Of four that
left NJ on "Wednesday, Oct 2sth, is a
sufficient guarantee that the journey
produced no III effects The Earring Of
the cars during the FIRST days ride from
NJ to North Bennington, produced no
unfavorable symptoms; the delay caus-
ed by the loading aud unloading Of
freight was the only annoyance to the
invalid The night at North Benning-
ton was q sleepless ono 10 two Of the
party, and the next morning much en-
enlargement and urging was required
TO gain consent to proceed. We reach
cd Albany at lOI A. NJ Not carriage
was to be had to convey to Hotel for
few hours sleep All were called in
to requisition below the city TO bring up
passengers from the New York boat
which was aground Nothing daunted
by this state OF affairs, our indefatiga-
bic "compagnon du voyage, found one
and after quiet rest we took section
in drawing car at ] p NJ, and
at 5 p. NJ, stopped at Bagg's Hotel, in
Utica The quiet nights sleep and the
consequent inauguration was very CRATE
ful to the weary invalid. At II o'clock
Friday morning we took our seats in a
drawing-room car; the day, like the
preceding one, was fine, and our ride
TO Buffalo had no discomforts. Our
lunch basket, which was so bountifully
supplied 10y friends at NJ, furnished us
good supper. which was enjoyed as
quietly as if in our dining We
reached Buffalo at in the evening and
took rooms at the Continental. Hotels
contiguous TO depots are usually poor
places for well persons to pass a quiet
night; in the present instance the ring
ing Of bells, snorting Of engines, and
the rafting of omnibus wheels over the
stone payements, in the early morning,
held short but decisive struggle with
McMumm's Elixir, and vanquished
sleep. after an early breakfast, we
took the cars Saturday morning for the
last stage Of our journey Our party
here was diminished. Miss VT had
gone on during the night TO Cleveland,
and We parted unwillingiy from our
kind hearted, faithful friend and escort,
Mr.. ID. z, Walker, that he mightreturn
home in season to do his duty at the
polls. as we started for The cars the
rising sun was glorious, but old Erie
growled ominously and her white-capp-
ed waves lashing the shore b9tokened
storm. after an hours ride the rain
fell in torrents and the wind was SO
strong ahead as to delay our arrival at
@. nearly half an hour as We had
passed our dinner hour and the ride
home was long one, there was some
suffering endured for short time at
ter oursarrival, but all WEAKNESS and
exhaustion from the long journey pass
ed away in two or three days Faith
er's recovery of strength and appetite
has be en- remarkable. We feel greatly
encouag ed for continued improvement
Our city this evening is the scene of a
grand jubilee. nluminations, fire works
torch light professions, and bands play
ing is the programme.
Father joins with me in heart
felt thanks to all the kind friends
at M. for the oft repeated kindnesses o.
the past, and with many wishes foi
their health, happiness and prosperity
in the future.
Yours sincerely,
