letter from Hamilton.

HAMILTON, Iowa. Dec. LIST 1878.
Editor Voter Probably some
OF your readers are not aware that
away down In the southeast corner of
Marion County, surrounded by beau
tiful aud productive farms, lies the
quiet and modest little village of Ham
ilton. My object in writing this IL
to give your readers partial descrip-
ton Of this place, it's situation, its
business, and its business men.
We are situated three and one-hals
miles southeast of Marysville, at the
junction Of the Knoxville, EddyvilIs
and Alba roads, on the line of the A.
Il. d ID. r. r., almost In the center of
the vasteoal fields of Marion and Mon
roe counties which in some future day
not far distant are destined to be the
means Of untold wealth to this place,
and to build 1t up until il assumes the
dignity of being one Of the largest If
not the largest inland city Of our
State.
In connection with the advantage
We derive ftom our coal fields, we are
surrounded by as good farming
country as can be found In any coun-
try and the farms are conducted by
intelligent, practical mot theoretically
farmers who have resided here long
enough to know just what it takes to
make their farms produce heavy crops.
Most Of our farmers have good or
chards of choice fruits which are
known to be the best adapted to the
climate; and / see that most of the
farmers are setting out the Usage or
ange for fencing, thereby effectually
guarding against any sudden change
our Legislature may see lit to make in
hog law. One more word ia regard
to the farmers: A great many Of them
were attacked with that awful anti
monopoly disease. Sorry to see go
mang ni4p were once slaunch Hepub-

have sometimes thought, while watching
the departure OF an Eastern stea that the
act Of parting with friends-so generally one Of
bitterness and despondency--is made by An in
grnFous Californian custom 10 yield pleasure
bic excitement. This luxury Of leave-taking,
in which most Calfornians indulge, is often
prctracted to the hauling in OF the gang plank.
Those last words, sinjuuctions, promises, and
embraces, which are mournfui and depressing
perhaps IN that privacy demanded on other
occasions, are here, by reason OF their very pub
hcity. of an edifyf and exhilayating character.
A parting kiss, blown from the deck Of a steamer
into miscellaneous crowd OF course loses much
OF that sacred selemnity with which foolish
superstition is apt to invest it. A broadsde of
endearing epithets, even when properly aimed
and apparently aking the whole wharf, is apt
TO he impotent and harmless. husband who
prefers to embrace his wife for the last time at
the door OF her stateroom and finds himself the
center OF an admiring group of uncencerned
spectators, OF course feels himself lifted above
any feeling save that of righteousness which
the situation suggests. The mother, parting
from her offspring, should become a Roman
matron under the like influences; the lover who
takes leave of his sweetheart is not apt 10 mar
the general hilsrity by any emotional folly. In
fact, this system OF delaying our parting senti-
ments until the last moment (this removal Of
domestic scenery and incident TO a public
theater) may be said TO be worthy of a stOical
lives which may be shared with the humbIest
coal-passer or itinerant vender OF oranges. II
is a return TO the classic out-of-door experience
and mingling of public and domestic economy
which so ennobled the Straightforward Athenian.
