correspondent" In this famous city, / have
"taken my pen in hand to write you a few
lines, hoping they will find you we'll, as
they leave me at present"
Firstly--Tbe weather is quite mlscel-
laneous 1t rains frequently and the hay
makers are not happy-they have hay of
all tints, hues and colors, black, blue, yell |
low, musty and wet the low lands are use |
less and the crop in general not large. The |
oats are not all gathered, and the prospect |
for completing the work is not flattering.
During the strike some of our goodly |
citizens saw fortune In getting their cat
tie to Boston while the stoppage in trdnSitu
| Of western cattle existed. So away they
FASTENED to Boston, and few of the earlier
| car loads brought good prices, but bad
luck caught the hindmost, and one or two
of our largest dealers found they had ar
rived day too late; the market was glut-
ted, and the profits of these good people
are yet unrealized. They now prefer TO
discuss the centennial at Bennington, the
crops, or the-anythiEg rather than the
cattle market in Boston.
The church in its garb of white, and the
coy parsonage near by indicate the Chris
tian tendencies and fellowship of the COM
munity here. On bright Sabbath MORN
ing the bell cheerily summons together
those who desire to listen to q superior dis
course by the Rev. Mr.. Van De Carr, the
pastor in charge. By the way, the people
here have found out that Brother Van De
Carr is an intelligent, progressive, thought
full student, worthy Of a large church, and
they begin to wonder how long he will be
likely to remain before stepping out and up
to better position. The Sabbath school
is doing good work and many Of the
young people show marked intelligence in
the study and recital of their Biblical les-
sons.
One Of the live, intelligent, substantial
men here lie Mr. Columbus Smith, A Sc
lect company assembled at his beautiful
villa last evening and after a delightful
hour epent in social discussion all sat down
to bouuiiful table presided over by the
hostess whose womauly grace, good taste
and tact, compelled all to feel the freedom
of home mingled with all the elegance and
comfort that wealth and refinement could
provide. Such people as DIr. and Mrs.
Smith are not only comfort to themselves
but beneht 10 the whole community in
which they reside. Among the company
may be noted Dir. and Mrs. S. j. VALLEY,
Mrs. Goodrich and Rev. and Mrs. Van DE
