gentlemen and his family above named, and
is 4 spotrich in natural beauties, and might
be made one OF the most charming watering
places in the country. We have seen no
,Ilacc hctter calculated anywhere than this,
and it is gratifying to state that it i in tend
ed by next summer, to improve the grounds
and erect suitable buildings for the accom-

Leaving the Glen and our hoSpit;5c and

packing fruit is we'll is for the manufacture
of boxes, another rs successful stock
raiser, with broad acres set in clover, blue
grass, &C., and still another, as the pOsscSsor
of a gold mine, full OF pockets, and valua-
bic veins. Pleasant thoughts indeed but
which mist be realized by others Of more
enterprise. Before bidding adicu TO this
ancient town, we found 4 visit 10 the office
of
MR.. RUFCS MORGAN,
scenic photographer, full Of interest and
pleasure He is not only an Intelligent gen
temar, but fine artist, and is reaping 4
handsome reward from the fruits Of his
genius and energy. He has been engaged
for some time, iu taking views of all the
various points Of attraction in Western NC,
and has on hand l large stock, the extensive
assortment being daily renewed in consc-
qucIce OF the numerous orders, constantly
being received, and increased beside by the
addition OF new views. With his assistance
we have made L selection OF some OF his mos:
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES,
and on our return home will place them in
reach OF our friends and readers, that they
may have the pleasure Of viewing some OF
the mauy features Of this portion Of the
country, and of which so very many have
only limited ideas. And now reader with
your leave, and certainly against our in
cnation, we mist make preparation for
an adieu to this place, and 4 rctrogradc
movement which will take Us home. So no
more til! Hickory is reached again.
HoMEwARD BOUND.
Arrived at Hickory, Saturday 10Th, and
being kindly met by sundry IlickorilcS, rs
clever people as can be found, have dctermin-
cd TO tabernacle just little while with the
good friends with whom were passed so many
pleasant hours while on the way up. The
house is full as usual, but Mr. Bean is
equal 10 all emergencies, 10 one is turned
away from his doors, and no matter how
many seek ioc Quarters, they are sure OF
accommodation and of The best sort, and not
the least Of which is his sroaning table,
which is always ii He'd with the best, and
cooked in the most approved fashion. On
this occasion, the house is apparently filled
to its utmost capaciiy-we have no idea that
Mr. Bean thinks so, howcyrr-amd among
the COMPANY there arc old widowers seek
Ing wives, old bachelors, incorrigiby de-
tcrnined not to have wives, 4 number Of
married ladies, some Of whom arc proud and
happy mothers, and in consequence, any
quantity of interesting children; but, alas,
the circle is incomplete, for there are
NO CHARMING WIDOWS.
This is unaccountablc, and many sigh is
choled back because they are not On
naming this cause Of regret TO lady friend,
We are told that there is a widow in town,
