OF AFFAIRS In our remarkable little valley, known
do quaker Hollow" ! notice in the last week s
number OF the InteHi5encer a letter written by
Some one-no one appears TO know who-in
"hich he gives oUr little valley a very fatterinr
name lie commences ms low down MS the grade
ana touches or the whole valley, but will only
speak of the Southwestern end OF the valley which
IS generally called Quaker Hollow. The peonle
OF this neighborhood are n very cleve-. sociabIe
class of people and think can boast of beipo as
hcspitable as any other people in the county
/ they too are noted for enterprise and industry ::
'hey have in operation two grist-mils, two saw
nils and n very large wooden factory, oil of
which are doing liv ely business Farmers ap-
rear TO be IN hae splits the wheat is promising
an abundant yield, and corn-notwithsta nding
the late planting-is starting very rapidly--oats
are improving very fast, and hope with suff-
cient rains we will gather an ordinary crop
Our young friend, Mr.. d. w Oglesbee. will
soon have n new dwelling and store-house com
. f'N'NN ''N' hS ''NNS POSSSSSlOu, II Is supposed
he will add 10 our already fourishing valley a
lew stock of dry goods aud groceries, to be sold
cheap TO the inhabitants who, think, should en-
courage him in the enterprise.
/ Our new Church has not been building very
fast, but will soon be rushed to completion now,
as the busy work the farms is about finished
and by the united energy of the farmers of our
ueighborhood, | don't think it will be long be-
fore the carpenters will be supplied with all ne.
cessary material for the hasty completion of the
/ long needed house Of worship. Our friend, Mr.
7. w Orndorf has contracted for the building
of the Church, and from his long experience in
/ the Carpentry | think he will build us a good
house.
Our Sabbath school started several weeks ago
and is moving along nicely under the superiu-
tendence OF Mr.. Orndorff who, think is trying
hard to advance the cause, but think the school
would prosper still better if the PATROLS would
manifest n little interest in it--they depend
too much on the exertons of The Superintendent,
J for the progress of the school
/ If any one is curious to know who speak, so
plain would say that they-if they are residents
Of this neighborhood see me frequently, as at
tend Church and Sabbath School at Lupton 5
''Nit'' 'ANi4NAAig hAu "l4l hINhlS very AlICnuNe
to all the proceedings of the meetings am al
so very intim 'tely Ncqu tinted with many people
in the neighborhood and know nearly every
thing that takes place of any importance. ! ia
tend, at some leisure time, to write something
about the young folks OF this valley, but not
something bad-it will be something that may
be instrumental in arousing them TO the moro &C =
/ tive performance Of some Of their plain duties.
/ When commenced writing thought would
get of something funny but fear it will be
neither funny nor strange If You think II will
pass, and give it room in your columns I will
wait until see the result and will be better pre-
pared nest time TO say something either comic T
useful. Look out people Of Quaker Hollow,
you will hear something when ! write again--l
VIII Try and give you some fun, something TO
please the good people and make the bad feel a.
shtmed. Goodbye, Mr. Editor you will hear
from me again in few weeks
