Mr.. EDTOR.-Aftcr a soioun of about n
forthnight's duration in the classic shades
OF Old Monroe, We desire with your permis-
sion, through the medium of your valuable
paper, to make known few facts which we
have seen and heard. The major portion of
our time has been spent in beautiful Cherry
Valley, and we do not hesitate for moment
IN saying, that to describe upon paper the
romantic beauty and grandeur of this Valley

Let your readers imagine themselves confined
in an illy-ventilated apartment for months at
a time, in a densely crowded city, with moth

day city life to greet the eye and ear, in
place of the beautiful green forests, and the
musical strains of the little feathered song
sters as they fit about from branch to branch
among the trees, IN the country, and then
they can appreciate, to Its fullest extent, the
pleasures of a trip to this garden spot of
the earth. l." Seated as we are at this writ

the wide-spreading branches of a gigantic
old sak, while at our feet the waters of the
Mountain Streams" which is well supplied
with various species of the fnny tribe, and
upon which we are daily feasting, glide

precincts Of this secluded dell We also find
the land in this section under the very high

great credit upon the sturdy farmers of your
county. And just here it might be proper
to state, that a very noticeable feature
among the lads and lassies of the country. is |
the absence of Mr.. and Mrs. Flora Nc Film
sey. We find them all comfortably and re-
specially attired and unlike the majority of
our city bellies, they strive to make them
selves pleasant and agreeable in compapy-l
always ready and willing, after having per-
formed hard days larbor, perhaps, in the
ield or kitchen, to spend an evening in

In glancing over the columns of your last
