WELCOME HOME.

Saturday was quite an interesting day in Newtown, and no event gave as much pleasure to many citizens as did the ar rival of the European travellers. Mir. Mar GUS c. Hawley, wife, daughter and son, and the Misses Florence and Mamie Glow CT. The flags upon the Grand Central and Dicks Hotels, as well as that on the Liberty pole, were flying. When the car riage containing Mr. HawIey's family reached the street, the guests and friends Of Mr. Hawley and family at the Grand Central and Dicks Hotels gave them hearty welcome. The Miss Glow CTS were also the recipients of cordial welcome
 The visit to the Old World proved to be in every particular fine one. The pas sage to and from Europe was exception ally good, and none of the party had been sick, excepting Master Willie Hawley. who persisted in getting sea-sick when it was calm. and when rough he enjoyed good health. We congratulate all upon their safe return and hope that they may live to enjoy another pleasant journey across the Atlantic.

 It certainly seems strange, Mir. Editor, that your printer should make us say tor affirm such strange things that appeared in your last issue. For instance, send you the item that "the tobacco crop Is very large" but it came out "very small" |" I In another item was sorry to note the mistake. that surprise party was given by Rev. Mr. Lancashire" it should have been "a surprise party was given Rev. MT. Lancashire" Again your printer tor somebody eIse) made us say "Bradley for Beardsley," in speaking about the law suit between Beardsley vs. Talmadge. With this explanation trust that the New Preston readers of your paper can hardly require any further yindication from your correspondent.

 Since last we wrote you from Paris, we have spent another week in England, having left Paris, Saturday last, August l7th. Our trip to London was somewhat fatigueng but We passed the English Channel without any discomiiture, though more than half Of our passengers were sea-sick. At London we spent one day at Richmond Park. Dined at the world renowned Star and Garter made famous in Dickens writings.) The sur rounding scenery is most delightful. Dinners are exquisite. From this point we visited Hampton Court. This place was originally built by Cardinal Woolsey, who presented it to his Sovereign, Henry VIII. It was the birth place of Edward VI. The gardens are the chief resort of the citizens. Here may be seen winery where there is a grape vine ninety years old, which sometimes yield 5000 punches of grapes in year. From here we drove to Kew Garden, a most delightful spot, in which are the celebrated Botonic Gar dens, extending over D acres. The plants are of the rarest quality. The great Palm House contains exotics, reaching in height 60 feet We also visited again London Tower, Madam Tussans' Wax Works and other places of interest. We'd nesday 21st, we visited Sheffield, England, and took stroll among the manufactur- ies. Among the number the celebrated knife manufactory of Joseph Rodgers X Son, which has been established about one hundred and fifty years. Being old customers of the house for one-third of that time, we were shown great attention, and among the various objects of interest to which we were called was pocket knife with 1875 blades, to which every five years are added blades. This knife is perfect in every particular. with sep arate spring for each blade, and can be closed up as if it had only one blade. It was great curiosity. We also visited several other manufactories of whom we had long been customers, and witnessed the various branches of English manufac- ture. Thursday 22d, left Sheffield for tour of the English Lakes. These lakes have formed a part of the poems of Sir Walter Scott and of Wordsworth. They are beautifully located among high mountains, and are places of great resort for Englishmen. Indeed, we found it so as we had great difficulty ill getting a place to sleep for the night, but this be- ing one of the incidents of pleasure tray- els was soon forgotten. We visited the grave of one of Englands great poets. Wordsworth, who died at an early age. much lamented by the English people. Though the English go in to raptures over these charming lakes, yet having now seen both Italian, Swiss and English Lakes, do not think they will at all com
