thrifty character; the West end being the most
beautiful and productive part. From the

with the hundreds Of cattle grazing thereon
are ever In view, causing the casual observer

magnitude and beauties Of Gods wise and be-
ne6cent blessings and creative power Truly
the people Of the West end should be found
continually offering up prayers and returning
thanks for the bountiful blessings bestowed
upon them; and We must say we were very
forcibly struck with the religious interest man
