TREADwAY's RANCH.-For the first
. time, in company with a friend, on
Sunday last, we visited the ranch OF
Aaron d. Treadway, situated in the
northern part of the city. On enter
ing the front gate, leading to the pain,
but comfortable dwelling Of the old
Chappaqua Farmer, we found on
either side of the walk fruit trees of
every kind and apparently groaning
under their richly laden burden of
fruit, Of the finest varieties and superb
flavor. The apple trees, especially,
attracted u attention, being so heav-
lily laden as to almost weigh the limbs
to the ground. Vegetables in great
variety and quantity, also, were notice
able. and the general appearance in
and around the premises indicated
prosperity and happineSs-which we
believe does exist at Uncle Tread's
ranch. Leaving the homestead enclo.
sure. is to be seen, as far as the eye
can distinguish. to the west and north,
a vast extent of the best and the sun
ever shOne on. we'll enclosed, and CON
tanning herds of stock and huge stacks
Of grain and hay. All told, Treadway
is we'll fixed for comfort and must be
happy, a. he has the reputation of be-
ing V~irtuous. We knew him person
ally as far back a. 1886, in the Sucker
State, which enables Us TO furnish his
record of old. and should he get on the
war path during the present campaign,
We may call Oh him for a-big apple
to compromise.
SUNDAY TALK.-One of the features
Of a Sunday morning is tie converse
ton held in tie barber shops of the.
city. At that time men OF different
~nationalities, various political opinions
and ideas congregate, waiting their
turn to be submitted to the never vary
ing task Of having the drawn
over their rough bearded faces.
While awaiting their chance many
different subjects are discussed: ONE
will engag in a discussion on politics,
others discourse on h mining and
agricultural prospects of the country,
and various other topics are mentioned
both Imaginable and serious. The hot
discussion OF The politicians, tnelaugh-
able anecdote told by one, or the seri
ous meiitations of others on the signs
of the times man not the peace of
the one handling the razor. but
lie works on with a smile in his
cOuntenance. calm and serene, seem
ingIy we'll pleased that his customers
are entertaining themselves so well.
The call of the barber. next" stops
for a moment the ceaseleSs din, until
the one entitled TO take the chair seats
himself i'll the coveted position, and
all goeS on as before. And thus it has
been for years and years, and thus
twill eVer be until time shall be no
more.

WEATHER.-For the past few days
the weather has been very unsettled
cloudy, windy. cold, and uncomfort-
able. An early Winter is predicted by
weather sharps, and from present APP
pearances there seems to be some truth
in the prediction. The present spell
of weather may be attributed to the
appearance of the comet, that was
to have been visible about this time.
