Letter from Rev. RS. Hunt.

 ED. NEws:-I want to say, because I feel it and mean it, that the CONN. WESTERN NEWS is the best paper in the world for me just now; it brings me t,dngs from so many places and people that love so we'll I con. fess that blue streak struck me when I crossed the New England lines of Massachu setts and Connecticut for my new home in Pawling, N. Y. have a strong clingine ceiling for the whole Yankee nation; I like their cleancut way of seeing things and do- munities flor are we not one people s'Americans all?" And so look around me tor points of interest in my new residence. Pawling has an enterprising population. New the business men of the plac@are doing a thriving trade. Prices rule higher than in Sheffield or Canaan.
 There are two religious societies, Baptist and Methodist Both worship in the Meth odist church, the Baptist church having been burned last June. The society expect to en- ter their new church the Sth of the coming June, then we shall divide, and shall know how many sheep I shall have to fold and care for. Ireceived very cordial reception by the people generally, and have met with many New England people here, and feel quite at home. There are large number of lakes among the hills, abounding in the usual va riety of fish-shall find no difficulty in grati flying sco1y p4'oczioities. Alreadya boath has been placed at my service by MT. Martin Mcintyre, brother to Warren of Canaan. It is just like Mcintyre to do kind, generous things. Ful l will close right here; If this letter should fall into the NEWS, there is too much of it for the quality.
 With many kind wishes, yours as ever,
 ROBERT HUNT.
