ss8 The Trenton State Gazettc hns spoken
quite disdainfully of the !" rural press two
or three times recently. The 'rural press |"
realize in all its force the lofty contempt of
this metropolitan sheet. They will never be
able to get rid ofatheir verdancy until they
acquire something Of the facility of that sheet
in the use of metaphor. A beautiful instance
of its aptness and freedom in this line can be
seen in its issue of Monday, in which it speaks
of joining in and echoing the braying of the
SANDER hounds" We may be pardoned if we
use slang expression, when we suggest that
the writer was getting up on his ear when

CORDOBA .LETTER.

Cordova, H., Feb. /, 1878.
Mr.. EDITOR :--It has been long time
since visited THE RECORD in the shape of
correspondence and for this reason: that
nothing of importance has occurred to write.
We are experiencing the same depression in
all kinds of business that has afflicted the en-
tire country. Labor exceeds the demand for
it, aud as o natural result large numbers are
idle. In our larger cities it is worse than in
the smaller villages and towns. Village, in
the State of Illinois does not have the same
meaning as in New Jersey. In this State it
signifies an incorporation governed by board
of six trustees, with powers equal to or ex-
ceeding the powers granted to your Common
CounciL We have a general law comforting
these chartered rights. Our village was in
corporated last April, and so far is a success,
your humble servant holding the position of
Clerk, with much work and limited pay.
We have thus far had remarkable Winter
for this latitude The . Father of Waters y
remained open until about two weeks ago,
and in fact is virtually SO at present AS /
write / can see from my office window a
stretch Of three fourths of mile of open
water, in the direction Of the Hawk Eye
State. The mode of crossing from this point
to Iowa, is with boat on runners, when OPP
en- water is reached the boat is launched and
rowed to the ice again, and then taken out of
the water and placed on runners the crew
and passengers walking on the ice (where
there is any by the side of the boat. The
boat is to support them in case of breaking
in, but this does not always save them from n
ducking. The steamer Mcdonald made an
excursion on New Years Day from This point
to Rock Island and Davenport, and in the ev-
ening steamed up to Clinton. Iowa, distance
of twenty miles. We have at this time three or
four inches Of snow, which fell yesterday. So
much for the weather, &c.
Our farmers had immense crops the last
season, especially corn, but the price is low
23 cents per bushel Of 70 lbs. in the ear. We
have visitors from the East continually ; some
remain, some go West, and others return
Mr. Haney, from New Hope, is here at pres
ent. A majority of our people are hoping for
colder weather in order to gather ice thus
far but little has been done as the ice is worth
less. ST. Louis parties are ready to contract
for unlimited amounts to be delivered at this
and other points along the river. The price
offered, am informed, is Si.25 per ton, de-
livered on the cars. This would furnish en-
.ployment for large numbers if the weather
was favorable. UNo.
