Conn. We were at the latter city on the 18th of
March From there we returned to New-York,
thence TO my fathers home in North Elba, from
which he had been absent more than year. We
arrived at North Elba on the 2jd of March. Then
we went 10 Pe!erboro n. Y, arriving thcro the last
days in March. While at Gerrt Smiths house at
that time, the aforementioned plans and purposes
wero talked over with Mr. Smith, not ms with one
who was Ignorant Of those plans" but as with one
who had been fully initiated into all that could be
comprchcnded in those plans rs have herein de-
clared them.
From there returned via Rochester to my home
in Ashtabula County, and my father soon after
went to Canada.
Soon it became evident that Colonel Forbes had
become treacherous. 1he initiative, which IL was
thought might be made during the year 1898. was
unayoidably deferred. For tins reason. ard on

Within n few days after the attack at llarper's

His clothes were spattered with mud, received

The Thing settled.

Union county, on Tuesday Of last

the Congressional fight and securing
Mr.. McKenzie's nomination by A

the nomination of Mr.. McKenEie is
deserved, besides il is polite 20 give
him the track, for his views on the
money question are in accord with the
Greenbackers, and will satisfy them 20

Editor Herald:
10 an issue Of your valuable paper un-
der date OF July 81, 1873, there appeared
an article headed Lost Boy" in which
Won reflected upon me. that had foullY
dealt with the boy in question, one Geo
Beck. The circumstances are substan-
TALLY these. On the 4th Of Nov. 1876,
WAS at Eli Burdens, in Ohio county,
Ky when the hoy came, he was clothed
in rays and his countenance bespake des-
titution and misery. On inquiry, Burden
informed me that the boy was an orphan,
and homeless aud friendless as il were.
The boy expressed willingness to 60
home with me, AMI told me that his sis
ter, a Mrs. Raley. had requested him to
find home other than her house, as her
husband did not want him there.
|, through deepest sympathy took the
boy to my house, in Mclean county,
KY, and thence to Christian county
While in the latter county, in February,
1877. the boy ran away. l advertised
Cor him in the New Era, q paper pub
lished in the city Of HopkinsviIle, asking
information concerning his whereabouts.
10 March or April thereafter, | heard
where he was, he was then in Hopkins
county. .s.a .as r'
i had the kindest feelings for the boy
and had he stayed with me would have
treated him in good and kind manner.
II any one wishes to get the boy, | will
conduct them to where he was living two
months since. and give them any further
information may procure. Yours, &c.

The dispatches from the South are
fearfuly appalling. The specter Of
death stalks openly the streets Ofevery
city, demanding hostages from every
door. In Memphis the mortality is
awful; physicians are dead or dying,
and nurses can not be obtained, while
the dying are crying for help and their
appeals unheeded. The dead are left
unburied for want of grave-diggers.
In New Orleans over two hundred new
cAses and seventy-fve deaths are re-
ported daily. The latest returns from
Grenada, Canton, Vicksburg, Holly
Springs, and other stricken cities, are
terrible in their death-ladened details.

1 Well, as to corn and tobacco crops,
they are remarkably light though there
are some very fine crops of corn in this
section. Wheat and oat tbreshing is the
order Of the day. We have two good
threshers at work here, sometime in adj
joining fields. Messrs Edison and Petty
have machine that will thresh the lie
out OF any thing from black snake down.
Messrs Lewis, Edmonson 4 Company
have. no doubt, one OF the best threshing
machines in the State and, by the way,
they have some Of the finest crops OF
wheat to thresh in Ohio county l hear
one Of them offering to wager that they
have threshed the largest crop OF wheat
that hiss or will be threshed in Ohio coun-
ty this year. though | did not learn who
raised THE crop. Mr.. Ansel wilson, near
this place. threshed 326 bushels of first
class msrehantable wheat, an average Of
liz bushels to the acre. He says he will
raise fully 1900 bushels of corn. We
have many such farmers; all we like in
this country lie a little more brain and
muscle and little additional cheap trans
rportation. ..'3t.- ''' l' -1i'.' ..'
