FAIR HAVEN.

MIS-. AlOnSOn Allen OF tnlS place Is III re-
ceipt of q letter from her daughter, Mrs.
f. f. Ellenwood, who with her husband,
Rev. +. f. Fleetwood, ID. D., secretary of
the Presbyterian board, are en- route around
the world, dated at Che Foo, China, Oct.
IS, 1874, very much of which of course is
of private nature, yet some of her descrip-
tions are very fine, knowing the writer we
can see with our own eyes through hers.
They started upon their journey last June,
the overland route to California. They
passed the first Sabbath at Omaha, aud had
for company from there to Salt Lake City,
Ann Eliza Young, Brigham's rebellious
wife, and had ride on the.cow catcher
through Weber canon. Her description of
the ride from Salt Lake City to San Fran
cisco and of the hospitality of that city is
glowing. Upon leaving for Japan, they
found their state-room literally covered
with fruit of all kinds, enough to last them
until they reached japan. Among the
passengers were two scientific parties going
to observe the transit of Venus. She says
after twenty three days sail we came in
view of Japan, beautiful Japan, and sailed
forty miles up the bay of Ieddo, and as they
came into the harbor very severe storm
arose, and the description of Janapese
typhoon and how they got into it when the

dock to her stopping place she rode in
large baby carriage drawn by a coolie
these carriages are called ginrtchshds, and
are used almost entirely in Japan, the
coolies keeping a steady trot and make as
good time as a horse. They spent three
weeks in Japan and made excursions to the
tea districts where the scenery is described
as being beautiful almost beyond descrip-
ton She describes Pekin, Shanghai
Ningpo, Canton and other places we have
| become familiar with from tea chests The
scenery of China, she thinks fine, but will
| by no means compare with Japan. From
| the rice of China, they will come to the
roast beef of Europe then to the home of
their childhood and friends, to give to them
| glowing descriptions of what they have
seen. Upon their return we shall expect
from Rev. Mr.. Fleetwood plain, truthful
| description Of his travels. Mrs Ellenwood's
many friends in this vicinity will be pleased
to learn through THE GLOBE of her safe ar
| rival at China. S.

There have been but three deaths

three stages of human life-a babe, a yout

Your contemporary, few days ago, +,
ported in their local items about She
burne greenhorn going to Rutland wit
half dozen chickens to sell, and on cnte
ing one of your places of iniquity, losin
his chickens and S1S or $50 in mony, d
parting with his head full of wisdom and
hatred of dice. They must be mistaken

mountain, although we have some horn
here almost as green as they are anywhe
and Rutland places of sin are their stunt
ling blocks. The writer said thirteen yea
