MEssRs. EDIToRs On Wednesday last,
among others, | made an excursion to High
Rock. | am not going to attempt descrip-
ton, for the obvious reason that | am made
quate to the task; but must say that the stu
pendous character of the panoramic views of
hill and dale, mountain and valley, rock and
forest, have left such an impression upon my
mind, that can scarcely think of anything
else, and / am no less impressed with the
magnitude of the master mind that conceived
the idea of improving upon or rather taking
advantage of the wonderful works of Creation,
as also of the engineering ability and skill
manifested in constructing first class road of
two miles in length upon the mountain side,
over, through aud among obstacles apparently
insurmountable-and then to cap the climax,
erect an observatory of very substantial char
aeter upon a mass of rocks that look more TT for
the abode of the ravenous wolf or an eagles
nest. But, / am running off in strain for
which / am lily adapted. What / more par
tieularly want to say, is, that | would like Mr..
Hood to accommodate our people with an
excursion train at a moderate price, say sew
enty-five cents per passenger for the round
trip. in order to give our working people,
whose dollars are few and far between, an OPP
portunity for days enjoyment that would
doubtless be benefit to both body and mind,
beneath this bright October sun.

The piece of Turkish territory which Aus
tria got at the Berlin Congress seems destined
to sadly disturb the peace of the Empire.
The resignation of the Hungarian Cabinet
and the threatened disbandment of the Aus
TRAN and the Imperial Cabinets are directly
due to the attempt occupy and pacify (which
means massacre) Bosnia. There are few
nations less able to stand internal dissensions
than Austro- Hungary, with its population of
opposing races, bound together only by an
ingeniously devised form Of Government, in.
tended to secure strength by gratifying the
national pride of two diverse peoples. They
have been at war with each other before, and
may come into conflict again unless great
deal of skill is displayed iifthe reorganization
of Cabinets. 1t Is a fortunate thing for Aus
tria that the resignation of the Hungarian
Cabinet has been delayed to this time, when
the Bosnian insurgents seem to have been re-
duced to submission and their most formid-
able strongholds are occupied by Austrian
troops.

So much business is now carried on by
mail that the general trade Of the country no
doubt bears some relation to the amount of
correspondence passing through the post.
office. For this reason it is worth while to
note that the number of letters carried in the
middle division (which comprises the Middle
States) during August of last year was seven
millions, but that during August of this year
seventeen millions of letters were carried in
the same division. There was a correspond
ing increase in the number of newspapers
transported by mail If general business
should revive in ratio of the revival at the
postoifiee the har 4 times will soon disappear.
