of the patrons of this section an eagerness
| to hear addresses from Southern members
that has been a marked feature of our
visit to this wintry region-warrn, how

and community of interests. ID Bros, Dar- I

comb of South Carolina, Eshbaugh of
Missouri, and others, have visited the sur

though we have seen it for the first time
under canopy of snow, presents sufficient
E'evidence to satisfy us that it is most
lovely and attractive place when clothed
in the verdure of summer or the richer
hues of autumn. 1t has bewitching ru-

elms, cosy little parks and delightful
drives under leafy canopies, that must
make its summers exceedingly pleasant
1t possesses for village, as it is termed,
though it claims 1000 inhabitants, many
felegant residences, and presents many ev-
lidences of rare architectural taste and
beauty We were shown thro' Brigham
Hall, which is private asylum for the
insane, by the courteous physician in
charge, DR.. Burrill, to whom we tender
our thanks for his complimentary special
invitation. This Institution is a model of
tneatness, elegance and comfort, and is Sit
uated on an eminence with beautiful and
highly ofnamented grounds, and com

the surrounding country, which is delight
liful and picturesque, and is one of the
many beautiful views With which the

and 10 miles long, and as it nestles amidst
