Letters from Mrs Anna Fleisher, formerly
Of Battle Creek, but now OF Kansas, reveal
state Of affairs not very creditable to certain
railroad officials in that State. Hearing that
the Flesher family and their neighbors had
been left destitute by the ravages of the grass
hoppers, parties in Battle Greek made up
large box Of provisions for them about New
Years. with the expectation that it would reach
Belyidere, the nearest railroad station to the
sufferers, in few days. Up to February 10th,
MIR. Fleisher, who lives 25 miles from Belvidere
had made three trips there with his team with
out finding Any trace of it. At last he learned
that the box was detained at ST. Joseph City
for the prepayment OF 81 freight The 81 was
forwarded and Mr. Fleisher expected to start
for Belviders again this week Mrs. Flelsher
continues . The Aid Society have had some
flour and corn meal received about one pound
TO each inhabitant There is, or was last week,
three car loads Of provisions at the depot with
over $500 charges for freight Mr.. F. went up
with the chairman OF the Aid Society TO the
depot, 80 miles, to see about it, They tele-
graphed to Topeka the State Aid Society, for
money to pay the freight. Received an answer.
no funds now There stands the food and
here are our starving people. Unless the
freight is paid the -four, etc., will be sold cheap
to some one that has money and very small
part left for the needy" In view of this state
Of things it is easy 10 understand why the Gen.
tral Relief Committee at Topeka issued those
instructions Saturday to contributors IN the
East, either to ship all packages direct to the
committee. or, to prepay charges and ship di-
rect to individuals. The action was taken none
too soon. Mrs. Fleisher says large amount
OF the provisions detained at st. Joseph has
been sold at auction to pay storage, bringing
mere nomlnal.prces. Dried apples are sold at
S1.25 barrel to spectators, while almost
within reach of the sufferers for whom they
were intended az a gift, and who know nothing
Of their Whereabouts.

Prof Swing thinks the great evil of the
present day is too muchness. He says If ever
an age or land needed the gospel OF modera-
ton, ours is the age and the land. Too much
toll, too much care, too much orthodoxy here
and too much free religion there, are results to
which our times are hurting US. We injure life
by treating it too savagely. Its abor becomes
a pain, its pleasure an Intoxicaton and mad
ness. it's reforms scream. AS the "truant
boy" destroys the beautiful painted butterfly
by pursuing it too eagerly, as he beats all the
gold-dust and slver-dust from its wings, and
all the gayety from lts little joyful heart, and
when at last he has gotten it he is ready to
drop 1t as utterly worthless, so our age beats
and fortunes and twists HE, until it comes to
pass that the heart in middle life feels that the
best thing one can do with it 10 to throw down
the whole thing once so duttering with Joy and
painted with all the best colors of earth and
heaven.

SIR: I believe we promised in our last
epistle to give you description OF our city and
surrounding country, and also to show forth all
the beauty and encouragements. While upon
the other hand we stipulated to draw the
horrifylng picture OF disparagements. Burrows,
Indiana, was founded about the year 1869,
which bloomed forth like the rose from the
tiny bud, having all the advantages connected
with it, that promised TO bid fair to mature
in large and wealthy city. Everything neces-
sary TO develop it was at hand, namely money,
business men, tradesmen, professional men
and farmers in general, had invested the al
mighty dollar which they had boarded up FOR
many years, earned from the sweat OF their
honest brows, while others threw their in
fuence in with the young city, that she might
some day shine forth like ancient Babylon-ail
beauty, spendor and magnihcence. But alas,
like Palmyra Attca and Rome, that have long
since sunk beneath the stroke OF time Burrows
was doomed to fall when all seemed prosperity,
and lope was high in the breast Of every CIT
izen. When every advocate OF Burrows was

ED. TRUE NoBIHERNER
DEAR SIR-Nearly one and a half years have
glded into the shadowy past, since we have
had the privilege OF gazing upon the variega.
ted scenery Of Van Buren, county, Van Buren,
with Its silvery akelets, mature orchards,
blooming gardens with vine trellised walks, ele-
CANT and commodious farm houses, and its
pleasant town Of Paw Paw, With 1t maple
shaded streets, cosy leaf-embowered dwellings,
and handsome business blocks and lastly its
unique and beautiful school edihce, Of which
all may Justly feel proud. May is walls
long re-echo to the tones OF sllvery eloquence,
classic sentiments, and scientific truths.
Nearly one and half years have we resided
IN Shelby county, with Its rolling pralrles, sep
arated by small ravnes. through which fire.
quently flow gurgling streamlets, it's small,
pine houses erected on some windy knoll, their
inmates probably intending 70 daily take a
perspective view Of the surrounding country,
or on the side Of some gentle elevation. if the
dweilers are more timid and cautious. with the
design OF securing shelter from the prevalent
and furious winds; its orchards newly planted,
or rather switch patches, willow and poplar
hedges, wire fences, new white school-houses,
OF nearly uniform size aud pattern, al yet
mostly without enclosure or shade trees, The
inhabitants OF this section have displayed
much intelligence and energy in erecting COM
Portable and pleasant school-buildings IN most
districts, and maintaining schools therein from
seven to eight months annually. School Off
GERS consist OF Director and Secretary or
Clerk In each township, said Director to act ss
President OF board composed Of the drec-
tors Of each district. A Township Treasurer
disburses teachers funds and other moneys to
be used for school purposes. Teachers wages
range from forty and thirty-five to thirty dol
lars per month winter and summer board
not included. and in some districts this is al
item, as the houses are 80 small and inconven-
lent aud crowded. that the school teacher
