genial and hght-hearted. he Overfows with
mirth and good feeling, and Is more petted
than ever. 1t is possible he may have to
break his vacation by visit to New York
on legal business connected with the Tllton
suit, but II this journey can be avoided 1t will not
be undertaken. Hts perfect immunity from the
hay fever, which haunted mis- summer footsteps,
makes him dislike returning 10 the city before
October 1t is expected that he Will deliver the
address at the Lancaster IN. H. Agricultural Fair
about the 20th OF the month. His recent
book on agricultural matters shows that he will
be formidable successor to the late Ia
mented MIR. Greeley, whom New Hampshire
claims as her son. What Mr.. Greeley did not know
about garden products We may expect Mr..
Beecher 10 tell u.s. and essay on turnips instead
of one on Tilton. disqusition on mangel wurzel
instead OF mutual MouIton, or o monograph on the
difficulty OF growing cereals in rocky places,
instead OF dissertations on the ditiicuty

edge OF despair would be relief to the public and,
no doubt, to Mr.. Beecher When one sees his face
glowing with mirth, his silver-haired ife-partner
seated smiling by his side, his two manly
sons laughing and chatting amid group
OF beautiful blondes, 1t Is easy to judge why SYM

who have known mis- long services adhere to the
belief that all will be we'll with him.
