EDITOR FREEMAN: Considering the num-
ber of human beings that are huddled to-
gether here we have been very quiet and
general good order has preva led since I
wrote you last. You will see, Mr.. Editor if
Won ever come here that the ponuIatiou of
this place is all habitatrd on about one mile
square Of territory 50 yOu may conclude
without seeing il, that pretty closely
packed. We propose, however; 10 extend
our limits in short time. All we want is
room 10 spread ourselves.
Our lnmhermen have had "a hard road to
travel this winter, owing to the short cron
of snow. They have, however, done the
hest they couid under the circumstances.
The two steam mills here have about s, 800
logs, which will probably keep them running
most of the summer. The two water mills
located in town-on front TireT-have logs
enough to do them. | am glad to see from
statistics furnished your readers, that lum-
Der firms east and west of MS have been aD-
prOXimating successfully in getting in their
crop o. logs.
Mr.. Bradley who was recently injured in
the coal mines at mo. 3, is rapidly re-
covering
\ decent respect for the dignity of our
neighbOring borough of WilmoIe caused
within me emotions of sincere sorrow on
reading the account, given by your cores
pondent ''Scriho," of the disgraceful melee
which occurred there on the day of the fu-
neral of young Sauders-and regret it all
the more from the fact that by the record it
appears that some of our own people were
unfortunately present on the occasion, and
lent n halid when needed. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, / would Just prDpouud n conunderfufa :
Eotc 'can such things be, and n'rrcome MS.
etc in ''cOrporattd borough containing
so many pedce (able) officers p" 1 regret,
also, To have it made known TO me that
Scribe" has had Il very bad spell of that
pest of mortal man, the toOthaChe. Might
not the trouble in his head be attributed not
so much to his decaycd m"lars as TO lis re-
cent severe attack of ''son-strokc?"
The advice of Local though gratui-
tous is kindly and very thankfully received.
/ think, however, that if Local" would
properly con the recent admonition of his
loving y (u)nti (es), lie would find his lcdy
hard enough without championing the cause
of any of the feuthercd tribe. Atall events,
l am not aware that QuaiLs are considered
birds of prey.
| heartily join Local in his regret that
the fair sex are not more numerously repre-
seuted in the school boards. how sweet
it would be for us single ''school-marms" OF
the male persuasion TO have one of these
heqrenly female ''nelC constitutions" VISIT Ills
in our place of business, where we are en-
gagged in the noble work of dispensing
capitdI education TO the youth of our beloved
country And how zee would labor TO con-
vince her that we not only possessed hrst
class qualifications as educators OF youfh,
but. also, that we are CeTy nice young men
for small tea parties
The good slcighRg which we might have
enioved for few days if we had been the
happy possessor of a horse and sleigh, has
vanished though John didn't seem 10 know
it when he sent his wife to church IN a
sleigh Yesterday. Wheeled vehicles are al
WAYS preferable to cutters on bare ground.
a game of ten-pins, for purse OF fifty
dollars, will be played here on Saturday
next by three gentlemen of this place and
a chap from the country. L vii! give you
the result hereafter.
Yours, much, ii. t.
