Letter from Indiana,

RUss1AvrILE, Ind, May, 1874.
MIR. ]. L. BoARDMAN:-In nv last !
promised your readers short description OF
our county, lands, crops, &C., but in the
tirst place will say something of our rail-
road. To-day our little village is in quite
an uproar. Everything is stir and hustle.
on account of the first advent of the first
train of cars that Russiaville ever saw. In
deed it is quite an event in the history of
the village.
At noon to-day grand dinner is to be
given to the employees of the road, by the
citizens, in honor of the occasion, and we
are all anticipating jolly time this week.
at the last of the week there will be free
ride to Frankfort on the new road.
can recollect when lived in Ohio, that
the terms "Hoosierdom" and ''Ague" were
considered synonymous, but to see is to
know, and to feel is the naked truth. 7
have seen a few cases of the dreaded
''shakes" but have not felt the effects as
yet; but have noticed that we do not have
any more ague here in this vicinity than
you do in Ohio. This is owing to complete
drainage of the farms around town. Ten
years ago this country was almost all ponds
and marshes, but to-day we can boast of as
good farming lands as anybody. Where
there were button-wood ponds ten years
ago, to-day we see fertile fields, shining
with their richness of green grass and fast
growing wheat.
The land is divided into farms of from
forty to one hundred and sixty acres, and
is generally well cultivated, which makes
this good grain country.
Like all other places, this has been Wis
tied with ''hard times" The farmers sold
their hogs early in the season; getting from
So to 1926, and having to wait 3 months
for their pay, which made it very hard for
them to meet the demands of their credit
ors.
Wheat looks well. Farmers are rather
backward about planting corn, as winter has
not broken yet. April 2sth we had a beau
ntul snow, seven inches deep.

and more like scene from some medlaypl
pageant than anything in the real life OF
prosaic generation. The railway station had
been converted into brilliant conservatory,
full of shrubs and flowers, and the route
through the town to the gates OF the castle
and the end Of the Long Walk was dazzling
with every kind of rich and sparkling orna-
ment suitable for moral decoration. The
Queen with all the members of her family
around her, was in waiting at the station for
her daughter n-law, whom she folded in
mothers arms and kissed with much tender
ness. This was their first meeting. The
Duchess can, perhaps, hardly be called pref
ty. Her face is too much of the Mongol type,
her eyes too little, and her nose too small and
round for that. But she has frank, pleas
ant, animated look, which is very progresses

and a white cloak, and white bridal
bonnet, with orange blossoms. The Queen
looked well in health, and apparently in much
better spirits than usual One the Queens
most amiable characteristics is her simple
gratitude for acts of kindness and attention,
even those which are paid to one in he posi-
ton, as a matter of ordinary course and duty.
She was much pleased by the way in which
the people of Windsor had done honor to the
occasion, and expressed herself very warmly
on the subject. The Duchess of Edinburgh
has certainly every reason to be satisfied with
the hearty welcome she has received. The
match was certainly not popular at first; it
was regarded with cold indifference and per-
haps more than shade of political suspicion.
The greetings to the Duchess are personal to
herself, and indicate the feelings of affection
ate sympathy with which the family of which
she is now member is regarded By the Eng
lish people.

4 case where an innocent man was hung
for murder is related by the Milford (Del.j
News:
That paper says it has the authority of
respectable colored man named Alfred Craig
for the statement that John Young, coored,
an old man who died near Frederick, thai
State, on Sunday morning, Sth inst, con-
fessed, just before his death, to one John
Madison colored attendant that lie (Young)
was the man who killed an old pedler, for
the murder of whom one f.. Darnell was con-
victed and hanged a few years ago at Dover.
The peddlefs body was found in miil-pond,
horribly mangfcd, and showing every indlca-
ton of having met with foul play. Circum-
stances pointed to the boy DaInel and man
named William Lopez, who were arraigned.
Lopez, succeeding in proving an alibi, was
acquitted, and the boy convicted and hanged.
Some months ago a subscription was taken
up for statue to the late distinguished
statesman William IL Seward to be placed in
the Central Park. The subscriptions are now
being placed with the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company to paw the great artist Rogers
for the execution of this statue. Among the
first to forward the check in payment of his
subscription was Gen Grant Exchange
