CAROLINE Co., Nd, June IA, 1880.
There is hardly anything which gives
2 more beneficial relaxation and more
innocent rest to the mind and body of a
man, who sacrifices almost the whole of
he year entirely to literary pursuits,
than moderate vacation in the country
during sumner time. To be away from
the noise and tumult OF city life, to be
able to separate ones self for a time
from the cares aud troubles of business.
to be allowed to breath Gods fresh air y,
free and to contemplate the beauty OF
His nature in all its 'fullness, and to sna
joy for while the simple and plair !,
the innocent and we'll as healthy / (
Of the country which is generally stii.
void and ignorant of extravagant lei
sures and all sorts off urious and dan
gerous attractions all these advan-
tages Of rustical life must surely have
been the weighty motives which
prompted the great orator, Cicero, to
Leave the grand Capital of the Roman
Empire, to despise Its effeminate and
sxtravsgant mode Of living and 10 re-
tire to his beloved Tusculanum. "a
country seat of Cicero near Roms.)
where he rested from the fatiguing f.
bors Of the Forum, recuperated from
the jealous work of the Rcstrum and
qualified his deep mind for the great F.,
works which he in quiet and calm
spirit prepared for US, whierusticating
on his Tusculanum, and which to-day
we must admire as mast pieces of
science and profound learning.
This proves to US that even if we en-
j'y our vacation, we should still if pos
sible be occupied with someth ing use
full, both to ourselves and to our fellow
men which leads me to the idea, to-
give the readers of thu REPUBLICAN a
little information about the country
where rusticate.
If 1--WE take political view, it would
Seem the nomination OF James A. Gar
field was received with applause, even
by both parties, just for the simple rea-
son mentioned in your editorial June
lO!h, because he had no enemies 10 pun
ish nor any friends 10 reward which
was not the case with any other candi--
date. The most part of this population
have still greater hopes for Hon. Thos.
F. Bayard, though they wished their
end accomplished in the nomination Of
General Grant, whom they considered
the weakest candidate. There can be
no doubt, that the Delaware Senator is
the choice here in preference to Sam.
Tilden or any one else. However the,
Republicans have their candidate, which,
the Greensboro Free Press expressed,
"James A. Garfield" the darkest horse
in the race has won."
The country all aroNnd here has suf-
fered tremendously from the late
spring-frosts ana the great want Of rain.
Hence the vegetation is not as far ad-
vanced as in previous years. However
the harvest this year seems to be a
complete success and if Heaven contin-
ues to send us good shower from time
to time as was the case the last two
weeks, the damages of fros: and dry
ness will be compensated:
