The past winter has been unusually
mild with but little snow. But March
has been rather rough. Our roads
have been blockaded with snowdrifts
worse this month than at any time dur
ing the winter.
A few of our cheese factories have
already commenced operations. You
are doubtless aware that this is the
banner dairy county of the state
Dairying is the chief business here.
Your former home is not the "pent
up Utica" it was when a lad you play
ed in its streets. 1t has nearly or
quite doubled its population which is
still rapidly increasing and SO are all
It's commercial and manufacturing in
terests. It's great industries are al
ready numerous. 1t is the focus of
five or six railroads, and elegant horse
cars traverse its principal streets sew
eral of them running to neighboring
villages miles from the CITY. They
run from the foot of Genesee Street at
or near the Depot to New Hartford,
and from the same point to Whites
borough. They are also running east
to Frankfort and Hon. It's public
schools and Female Seminary are Of
the highest character. It's churches
and (without including the great State
Asylum for the Insane) eleemosynary
institutions, are not surpassed by those
, Of any city of its size in the country,
and best Of all, its society for good
morals and educated mind stands high
and yet, strange to say, it almost stag
gers under the direfM influence Of the
rum trfic !
I am anxious to see Grand Rapids
and Centralia and hope to have that
pleasure during the ensuing summer,
or at fartherest next fall. BY the bye
| see by the ''REPoRTER" and "TRIB-
UNE' that you are already blessed with
two railroads, giving you direct COM
munication withe Chicago, Milwaukee,
and "the rest of mankind" which
must be of immense Importance to all
the business interests of Grand Rap
ids and Centralia. We've no railroad
yet through the beautiful valley of the
Koy-a-hoo-ra (West Canada Creek. }

Termination of the KiIb0urn

Dam Suit.-A very important suit.
which has been in progress two weeks
in the United States District Court, of
j. W. Bradford. of Quincy, against a
manufacturing company and others at
kilbourn City, for damages in running
lumber over the Wisconsin river dam
there, and to have the dam declared 8
nuisance, closed this morning with a
verdict awarding the plaintiff $500
damages against the manufacturing
company alone, excepting other defend
ants, and declaring the dam not
nuisance.
The kilbourn folks regard the ver-
dict as great victory, but another
like suit follows right after with intent
OF upper Wisconsin and Yellow River
lumbermen to break down the dam.
\ large number of raft pilots, RATS
men, and lumbermen have been exam
med as witnesses.-POrtage City Reg
tEer.
Though the Dam is declared by the
Court to be not nuisance, we are clad
the fact has been established that in
jured parties cas sustain action for
damage We do not believe there is
a person in Wood County who wishes
the citizens of Kllbourn City any other
than success in all their manufacturing
interests, but if they can only prosper
by our destruction, il is most natural
that a feeling of animosity should be
engendered which will Increase rather
than decrease. We wish the dam at
kllbourn might be made q success, but
we fear it will always be source Of
centensioa and litigation.

Editor Reporter Il know full we'll
that you would like to hear from US,
and that you would not be very fasti-
deous as to topics provided they be
chosen from scenes, or objects and
events IN the. region of the home of
your childhood Oneida and Herkimer
Counties. But an editor of western
paper has readers. not only from nu-
merous counties of the Empire State, !"
but from many different Eastern States.
What would be highly interesting to a
few therefore, would not interest others.
So the editor has 20 consult the tastes
of and cater for all !; and it is perhaps
delicate matter for an eastern man to
write for the entertainment of western
readers who are, from the force of cir
cumstances more cosmopolitan in their
ideas than those who have always re-
sided in old eastern cities. | will
therefore first venture to speak of one
of your near neighbors who has been
spending several weeks here in his ma
tive village visiting his aged mother
and sister, I aiiude TO Mr.. S. S.
Benchly of Centralia. During his so
iourn east he has visited friends in n.
Y. City, Brooklyn. Utica. Now Port,
Cold Brook. and other places.
Mr.. Benchly left here for home yes

TO stop one night in Utica. and one
