Leaving Our friends ct Oneida, we were 200
on the rails. westward bound. few miles on
we passed Squaws-Lone Creek-so called, be
cause on that creek the Indians, in the earl
settlement Of the country, left their squaw
alone to provide for themselves while they sal
lied out on the war-path, toprotect their rights
from the invading multtudes crowding in up
on their bunting grounds in every direction
Soon Syracuse appeared in the distance, q flour
iehing city OF seventy-five thousand iahabit
Gnts-less or more. We remember distinctly
when swamps, shanties, cooper shops. slaves,
hoop-poles and piles OF salt barrels, we're about
al that could be seen where the best part OF
The city now stands; except its.rickety wagons,
extremely muddy roads, and horses that APP
peared to have been stall-fed-on old barrels
and hoop-poles Then, we think it was called
salt Pint. 1t Is city of very large business
capacity, and is beautifully adorned with fair
share of the public buildings, and tastefully ar
ranged churches and il the immense amount
Of saline waters, brought up from the bowels
OF the earth to the depth Of six or eight hun
Cyed feet would preserve city from putrefac-
ton, we think Syracuse must be the place.
Nothing of Importance transpired till we
reached PALMYRA. when we took leave of our
chariot for few days, and were carried by our
friends TO Marion Corners a pleasant inland
village Of some 400 inhabitants Here the
voices OF loved ones and the social chit chat
caused the hours to glide away almost without
our notice The next morning, beautiful and
ovely we were furnished with a horse and
buggy to go out into the country some seven or
eight miles, to visit loved ones IN an adjoining
town. The hours sped away so rapidly, amidst
the din OF the social circle, that we were soon

strong an argument for q nights repose in the
country, tlat we quietly yielded with q cheer
tul heart. After another days visit with our
friends in williamson, we found ourselves

Gloversvile is one of the most enterprising
and thriving villages we know of IN the State
Of New York. liz has more than doubled Its
population during the last eight or ten years;
having now more than seven thousand inhabi-
.ants; besides a large floating population Of
some 1900 to 1000. They have four large
with good brick edfces, and large
Congregations. fed from Sabbath to Sabbath by
lble expounders of the truth They also have
two National Banks doing heavy business
one OF which is United States Depository.
The Fonda and Gloversville Rail Road Will
soon be in running ~ Ter to Worthwhile, some

all grades, capable OF being manufactured into
