SALEM, March 81, 1876.
Mr.. EDrToR-Were it proper, and not conceit
ed and egotistical, We would like TO ray you did
splendid Tor us, and acted wisely, when you
compied with orr request by giving us a place
in your columns; and doubt yvn will be graft
fed to hear through your indulge nce O.. N.
wears feather in his cap which has won more
than one patronising bow from several of the
aristociats OF Salem that were never known be-
fore TO show us such a mark of condescension;
but this fact does not in the least spire us to
write again, our only excuse lie, the correspon-
dence In your last Eu mber carries with ii a sort
OF coDtagion which we feel although we care
fully guard agains catching its sentiment MOB
but n at it is perfectly CONNIE, dable, hut ws
have conscientious scruples, and wish to be
honest and preserve our own individuality.
If we are not trespessing too often upon your
columns, and are MOI keeping your former cor
respondents OF Salem from writing, will
without farther ado, proceed with our letter
which we shall be obliged to get upon purely
economical plan. There being no abundance OF
news it will consist OF the odd bits and ends OF
rubbish cast here and there upon our notice, sup
posed to be of little importance, and dis
liking to anything wasted either in the liter
little specks fl ating about, he thought occrr-
red to our nina that those scraps might be
gathered together and woven into some thing ac-
ceptable, especially to the people of Salem, who
are ever pleased to see their own receive It's
proper degree ofattepiion /, merits It is their
boast and PRIDE that there is place weet Of

mosphere Ss Salem, and its inhabitants live on
such amicable terms with one another that 1t
doubtless approaches nearer to 'peace on earth,
and good will toward men, than any other town
in the county, not even except Its nelghbOring
town Girls toll. and it il often remarked By the
dotlug husbands of Salem Station it ia such o
solace TO them to know they can unconcernedly
ply their several trades while their worthy danes
promising daughters and other unprotected
females can If they wish pr omenade the numer-
Gus streets and sidewalks of the city in the DAY
time ''unscathed and unharmed." Were the peo-
pie asked the secret of this peaceful, law abid-
ing state of affairs, we will venture their answer
would be they are so wholly occupid with their
own business, they rarely have a spare moment
to acquaint themselves with their next door
neighbors affairs.
We see by printed notice in the Telegraph
that caucus is held to day at Liberty; from our
house it is only a short distance cross lots hut
the going il so bad we concluded rot TO 60 then
we are not politically inclined stll we look
forward with considerable pride, when we shall
be old enough 10 cast oar first vote. Father has
just returned from cancus, he expresses himself
so well pleased with the nomination of candi-
dates, mistrust he is of them; further
particulars we would like to hear from him, but
it is chore time, consequently hoping all will ex-
cuse our ahrLptness, we regrelfully lay down our
pen to pursue our legitimate duties.
