AHARD TRAIL.
From Cedar Junction to the upper town,
. distance of six miles, the trail becomes
terribly worse, instilling into the intelligent
minds of the uniniiated donkeys and other
quadrupeds the impression Of an entrance
into Hades and . final adieu to al hcrbiver-
Gus diet, the poor brutes oft-times being
made to stand upon some tiresome eminence
awaiting the passage of some returning
train, unable to give the slightest nod Of
recognition to some former mcmbe: of the
herd. But then, grieve not my biped,
these annoyances will all pass away when
our saw mill 10 in active running order, our
new trails completed oil the way up the
gulch, and stages deliver their freight at the
lower town preparatory to taking through
ticket to Show Shoe by mule hack. Then
and not till then will frailty and beauty
trust their precious, lovable carcases to the
uncertain steps of csyuse.
LOUISVILLE.
Straddling the last log, emerging from
the last ditch, with eyes bleared by the
smoke of many camps, and nostrils pungent
with the unctious odor # fresh. cooked
becf steak, the town of louisville looms In
sight house by house, in rather unmilitary
disorder. Some stand by the creek where
there il room to stand upon, and some ara
built against the hillside, half hidden by
the debris that has fallen from above; the
greater number are crowded in little gulch
running at right angles with the main
stream at IN elevation OF forty degrees, and
some few are perched st : giddy eminence
between heaven and earth, high upon th<
hills .sioe.
