was just convalescing from an attack OF
| lever, which had wellnigh deprived us
of our child. Much watching aud anx-
| iety had greatly jaded the family AS
an experiment, we stepped on the plat
| form and took he weight of each mem
Der and on leaving did the same. Ii
was found at the end OF ten days the trio
/ had gained thirty pounds, to say moth
| ing of IMMIGRATION and strength. As a
| natural result each succeeding summer
tor number of years proved us visitors
at Beaver Dam. But, oh! how changed
the surroundings.
81 feel like one who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted"
Many, 0ery many are the forms that fit
before me once seen here that now are
not, and amongst them none (saYe my
own beloved) more yividly than that
colossal moral lecturer, the Hon. w. E.
Dlllahunty. But why indulge in these
melancholy reflections? Time has made
| its marks, and am not disposed to blot
| them out, but would meekly say, 'tThy
will be DONE" | am not disposed to
murmur at my lot; it is better than l
have deserved. But enough of this.
Messrs Editors, aUby Gf you know Why
did company of such eminent talent
and such level heads as our Beaver Dam
Company, lay off their lands with such
reckless policy? In building they seem
to have taken "wheeling distances" as
though they designed, by military
move to retreat to The hills. They have
also cut off, by building in front of a
beautiful square, about II or Is snug
building LOTS or doomed them to a HDack
seat" and we Americans are fond OF
front seats. Don't yOu go and tell these
Solons what / have said about them.
They might be disposed to run into my
wheel~hOuse, and as it is out of order,
it might be injured by coming IN con-
tact with heavy timber.
The folks dOtUT here think of voting
for Nick A., but some of them say his
brother DIR. A., is the cleverer fellow of
the two.
1t has began to thunder and promises
rain and must repair to my lodgings.
EVENING AT sUTToN's TANNERY.
l got sharply sprinkIed on my way
home, and now a refreshing shower is
falling, much to the joy of these good
people. John Spencer has just ran out
to save the milk vessels from swapping.
Thanks to his energy, for he saved some
of the best buttermilk l ever drank.
If / could call back thirty years, and
Was the owner of these manufacturing
sites and that grand old "healing post,'
Beaver Dam, and had narrow gauge
down here, and my lost capital, l think l
could make what the world calls a for
tune, to say nothing of the creek. There
are two perpetual springs at this tannery
combining power of five horse.
The people of this county have plant |
ed largely of the pea crop, which has |
suffered much by the drouth, but hope |
they are now seeing a better day.
The candidates are on the tramp here |
as we'll as ia Maury. DIR. Wilson, of |
Centreviile, candidate for Trustee, has |
just called, and leaves a good impress |
sion. Seems to be regarded as the
dangerous competitor"
am truly sorry to learn of the afflic-
ton of my valued old friend and tutor,
S. II. Williams. 1t has cost him the
loss of one arm. May he soon recover.
He is a clever fellow and an honest
man.
The folks down here are anxious to
hear cold Whit's horn" He has only
to be heard to DO SO. X. -
Yours, truly,
