him Is " adventurous English writer" Every
foreigner who comes to this country to seek his
fortune, or to make his bread, by following his

every American journal there Is at least one
such adventurer. have not the honor Of
personal acquaintance with the staff Of THs

surprised to learn that Il offers no exception. to
the rule. And sometimes these adventurers
get up to the head. It makes no difference
whether they hail from Dublin or from London.
But you object to Mr.. Jennings because he Is
'.not citizen of the republic )" in other words,
because he IL not naturansed. cannot say
whether he Is or ever intends to be-: In due
time, perhaps, he will. But know that since
he has resided here he has married an Ameri-

I confess that ] cannot discover any treason
to America in all this. Mr.. Jennings is not
Bradlaugh. He simply suggests to the Eng
lish workingmen that the Government under
which they live IL not 20 black As II has been
painted; and suppose that this tribute to the
merits of the British civil system will not be
deemed q harder hit ct our own than has been
made by certain eminent American statesmen
and reformers, Of unquestioned loyalty, native
and naturalized, Of whom Sumner, Schurz and
Curtin are the chief.
Other critics have, I suspect, given fairer
idea of the spirit and scope of the book than
you convey. English journals did not regard
Il in the light which you present It. They ap-
peared to think that it was, on the whole, .
favorable certainly not an unqualiHedly unfa-
vorable, review of Republican government in
the United States" The Spectator noticed that
the author desired ''to show that the trainers
of the American Constitution had ideas from
which the governing party Of the Union had
very widely departed" And where is the
candid Republican who will deny that this is
truei) But, it adds: GAS to the wisdom or
otherwise of this departure he is impartial al
most to excess" The Saturday Review pro
nounced the work ga temperate, impartial and
thoughtful estimate of parties, principles and
social character" The Fortnightly Reriew
said that she is just to the motives and sac
rifices of the people in the civil war, and gives
. good account of the results of that war in
closing forever some of the open questions of
the past" might quote similar favorable
opinions from other London reviews, but 1t is
perhaps more to the purpose to see what was
said of the book by impartial American jour-
mails. The New York Evening Post said that
Mr.. Jennings has produced book on America
which sis clear, thoughtful and comprehen-
sive, and is eminently free from the captious
and fault finding spirit in which Englishmen
have usually written of the United States"

Since the advent of the Railroad, our
town has evinced a spirit of improve
ment which has manifested itself in var
ious forms First in the erection of sew
eral good dwellings, three of which are
brick, and are an honor to any commu-
nitv. Next we have had our village in
corporated for special purposes, and there
is a strong probability of its being ad-
vanced to an incorporated village.
While we often read of "war and ru-
mors of war" in your town, all is at
peace within our borders, for which dis
pensation of providence We continue to
be thankful

ness directory of this place and there

in our midst.

which his scholars rendered the difficult

to be doing thriving trade, money
