TrSBRDGE -Messrs. Editors Your CORES
pendent Of this place in giving an account of
what he calls my summer residence omitted
some important items. The place has his
tory worthy Of notice The house was built
by the Rev Nathaniel King many years since,
and was then called one Of the best locations in
town, both for beautiful scenery and for stock
and farm produce. There lie raised large
family, six boys and seven girls, number q
whom are now living The oldest son, Hon.
Nathaniel King lives in town; tie youngest
son, a. n. King, Esq, is still in town, and is
largely in trade lie is considered very
worthy man and owns many farms in this town
mostly located on what is called the East Hill
lie IL the son that Elder King gave the
farm to which is called my summer resi-.
dence. - While young man he was a farmer
and had to work with his hands, and in those
days was not supposed to possess the business
talent which of late years has been 50 well de-
yelopei. But the place has not in later years
been so well managed but the fruit and flowers
and the natural fertility of the soil, with the
surroundings, make it a desirable place for
summer residence. The last occupant planted
many varieties of strawberries, raspberries,
etc, and now have engaged the services Of
X. Is. Fay, who is somewhat out Of health by
close confinement to business, to trim up the
trees and plants, cultivate the gardens, and
look after the fish pond. RIonARD Szirn.
