of Greeley beyond a doubt-9-and more
than al, that this pure, dEy aud e1-
hilaTating atmosphere renders 1t lnev-
liable, that hither the weary 1nvallds
of iteration shall fee, as the manned
and halt rushed into the pool OF Beth
esda, that they may rise IN the vIgor
of health and help make Colorado a
smiling land of promise.
Now l have given a hattering pic
tufe, but, batting a few drawbacks,
which a little thoughtful common
sense viii readily suggest, it is a cor
rect enc.
vi course so many men could not
intrust the management of their Colo
NAL affairs to any committee under
the sun. and be universally satisfied.
There is, have no doubt, ground for
some of the complaints one hears IN
talking much with the citizens. But
from the pretty extended acquaint-
ance with the people / have made IN
a few days, / am led to believe that,
on the whole. the dark side of the
picture is only shaded side. When,
also. you are told that two hun
dred houses have sprung up IN less
than three months, you must not
/ let a vision of brick blocks
and palatial mansions dance before
your eyes, but remember that the
houses OF twelve weeks old town,
bear about the same relation In size
and appearance to those OF q grown
up, mature toWn-that the twelve
weeks old park of Greeley bears to
Biaekford's Grove.
But, from my brief acquaintance
with this town, weighing all that IS
unfavorable, / have come to the con-
clusion that if / had wife and two
or three buxom children, and wished
to make for them a home, among an
enterprising, intelligent, temperate
and moral people, where schools and
churches might exert upon them their
refining intiuence-Where easy COM
municatiOn with the great, restless,
driving world outside-might sharpen
their wits and FIRE their ambition,
and where, more than all, the most
health. giving climate the sun shines
upon, might save them from that most
discouraging Of all modern pursuits,
the seeking of eHe's health"
should be strongly induced to put up
shanty on one of the outlying farms
of Greeley, and with my hands dig our
livelihood from the soil. and with my
hand and heart, help to make the
town fulfil all the fondest anticipa-
tons of its now best citizens.
My letter is already too long, and
L must stop, with the promise
to soon give you an account
of my trip with party of
Greeleyites to this beautiful park,
nestled high up among the Rocky
Mountains, at the base of Longs
Peak, together With my experience of
the effects of this air upon one whose
lungs suddenly failed him, and so re-
manded him, without warning. from
the ranks of health, to the great, ca
daverous, useless army of invalids.

Narrow Escape.--On the morning of
the 22nd ult., two men named Jacobs and
Zeigler crossed one of the fordings of the
Canodoguinet Creek, in Cumberland Co.,
to do days butchering. On their return
the same evening they found the creek had
risen considerably, but conc luded to ven
ture the crossing. They had not proceeded
far before the horse and carriage began to
move rapidly down the stream. The men
called loudly hoping to alarm Mr. Wolf a
near resident but the roaring of the water
was such, that they failed to make him
hear, but succeeded in starting up the dogs,
so that they continued barking, and at
tracted the attention of the family. Mr..
Wolf then went TO their assistance and sue
ceeded IN getting both the men safely into
his boat During the excitement of get
ting the men out Of the carriage the pole
used to push the boat was lost, and tho
only thing left, with which to navigate the
boat was sausage stuffer, With this
they however succeeded in reaching the
shore, bringing the horse and vehicle with
them. 1t was fortunate escape and had it
not been for the prompt aid of Mr.. Wolf, both
men and horse would have been drowned

The Revival. - The protracted meeting
of the Presbyterian Church, which at the
time of issuing our last number, was still in
session, has been closed. The result of the
meeting was very gratifying. Already
trenty-nine persons have been admitted to
membership in that church, and there is a
prospect of still further addition. In this
case, the number of men among the con-
verts is unusually great, they being more
than half of the number.
A series of meetings are now being held
by the Lutheran congregation in this bor-
ough, which we hope will meet with equal
success.
A spirited revival is also going on in the
Lutheran Church at Mansvillo. Sixteen
persons were forward on Saturday evening
last, seeking forgiveness God speed the
good work.

Singular Hog Disease. Robert Neil

Singular Hog Disease. Robert Neil
son of Centre township, this county, killed
several hogs a few days since, two of which
had to be thrown away, owing to their hav-
ing some peculiar disease. They seemed as
well before being killed, and were as fat as
the others, but when cleaned all the fat
meat was of deep yellow color, and the
lard had the same appearance.
Nothing just like this has been seen in
this vicinity, and the question now is what
was the matter with them.

Suicide.-On the evening of the gath
ult., the wife of William Lidig, carpet
weaver residing little distance from Mont
gomery's Ferry, on the Bucks Valley road,
committed suicide by hanging herself with
some carpet chain, to cherry tree in the
yard. She had just recovered from fit of
sickness, but for several weeks had shown
some symptoms of insanity, and it was
probably during one of these fits that the
deed was committed. She was discovered
about 10 O'Clock at night, while the body
was still warm, but instead of cutting her
down, and trying TO orestore life, she was al
lowed to hang until the alarm had brought
some neighbors, and the coroner was sum-
moned. By that time she was stiff and
cold. The branch to which she attached
the chain was so low that her knees touched
the ground, upon which they firmly rested.

week pleasantly, it certainly was not be-
cause they were deprived of ladies' society,
for it is not often that in this borough we
have the opportunity of seeing so many
rosy cheeks and bright eyes. We don't
blame the young men for being in favor of

AN INTERESTING SITuATIoY.-Tho
Galena Gazette says that a young lady
in the north part of 10 Daviess county
engaged herself to three different Low.
ers. Tho young men, learning the
situation of affairs, had a fierco quarrel
about it, which was kept up for sew.
cral months. Finally, concluding that
no good could como by continuing the
warfare, all three agreed to meet the
girl and request her to take her choice.
AT the appointed time the meeting
was held, when the girl quietly inform.
ed them that it was a quarrel of their
own, in which she was not particularly
interested, and that they must settle
1t among themselves. Whcreupon
they retired and agreed to settle the
difficulty by drawing lots, which was
done, and the winner married the girl
last week. The parties are respecta.
bly, connected, and, by the request of
one OF them, we suppress the names.

bride declares that she got the one
