For the last week have been out 10
this section looking up the trade, and am
glad to communicate to you the TACT that
at last "trade" seems to have gotten upon
It's feet, and now shows signs oil returning
yiVor. and l think tho Indications are
th3t While we may not have large trade,
We will have a more healthy one, and q
great many less failures than last year.
Stocks in the towns are very low-much
lower than have seen them Tor long
time, and the generality Of merchants ap.
pear to be in good shape to take hold Of
goods, and the people are in need Of them.
Money appears to be as plentiful as We
could expect, and Is now circulating in Its
proper channels. Settlement day april
y seems to have brought Uncomfortable
sums, that had been hidden away await.
ing the coming OF All Fools day, and now
l think we can look forward to better
times.
The roads in the country were never
80 muddy as now. Yesterday l met Capt.
Stone with two horse team stuck in the
mud near Cumberland. The Captain be.
ing unable to proceed further by team
abandoned the trip and took n train for
home on the "try-weekly" (where the
people 90 down one week and Try to get
back the next. The E. O. r. r. is al
most abandoned, there are SO many slips
on the road that they cannot run a pas
senger coach and the passengers are COM
PEELED to ride on freight car and on the
engine 10 get through TO Point Pleasant.
At Cumberland 1 had the opportunity
OF listening TO the readings OF katherine
Gray, who entertained about thirty peo-
pie at % cents per head. Verify Kate is
getting down fine. From IN audience OF
i've hundred in a city to one OF thirty in a
village is quite fall, yet shc seems to
determined TO keep the stage.
Tom Tingle, formerly Of your city, is
now representing several Life Insurance
companies, has an Office al Cambridge,
and is doing we'll.
Mara Stone appeared upon the streets
to-day for the first time since the middle
Of December, since which time he has been
confined to his bed by hemorrhage OF tho
lungs. He looks as il he had neared the
terrible abyss and made narrow escape.
Wheeling gentlemen seem to be on the
"ny." 1havc seen several on the trains
this week. Among them were Judge
Cranmer, l.. E. Hanson and Joe PAUL.
Politics are quite warm out here, and
last Monday there was large vote polled
in the towns along this line, and the DEM
ocrats don't appear to have gained any
votes by the way.
Captain Danford ia the only person
spoken OF out here for Congress, and no
doubt he will be returned by handsome
majority.
Hayes for President is frat choice
through hcre-second choice very much
scattered. The Democrats don't appear
to have any choice, but will go ii blind,
as usual, when they hear OF candidate.
! do not think they need trouble them
selves about candidate, for there APP
pears through the country to be dispo-
sition on the part Of the intelligent voters
to let the Democratic party keep their
back seat a while longer.
BY the way, see communication in
the Standard putting forth the name OF
r. NJ. Delaplain for Congress from the
First district. Well, il the Democratic
party lays old man Wilson on the shelf
so early and dominates r. NJ, how would
it do TO give him yeoman worthy Of his
steel, and run General Nathan Gotf, jr
What say the people? Vox.
