We made , tying trip to our neigh.
boring village, "a tho 4th inst. Tho
road 10 tracked out through the fields,
across the lanes and over the fences,
making about two miles Of travel for
every ono gained. The road bed is
from, one to four feet above terra frn'o
end SO narrow that horse very often
shoots of At tho side, and if by any
emergency, no gets off entirely, it is
like going of a bridge into deep chasms
below, and requires great effort to re-
gain the highway again. The snow be-

adorning it in the winter and summer
aud Ly the occasional thickets Of pop

near the farm houses, We can judge Of
the great benefits to all, when wo shall
see trees bordering all our highways.
The people Of Brownsville are alive,
notwithstanding the great blockade,
which has almost completely cut of

mystery to my friend Steen and other
clever boardess, how the h,ciz zueur''
