toned had made the place unhealthy,
and last summer it was torn away by
citizens without the consent of the
owner.
We have received invitations to visit
Hillsborough and Cincinnati. Mrs.
Hayward insisted upon our going to
Cincinnati. She thought we would
prefer settling there, as it was the
finest town in the State. We have
promised Gov. Trimble to visit Yellow
Springs with his family this summer
1t is said to be a most beautiful place,
only forty or fifty miles from here,
and an excellent road all the way.
This town is very handsomely situated
on the east bank of the Sciota river.
High street and Broad street cross each
other at right angles, on two sides Of
the centre square, which contains ten
acres, and is appropriated for the State
buildings. At the south end of the
town there is a mound, supposed to
have been formed in the past ages, but
by whom is entirely unknown. There
is not even "a tradition among the In.
dams relative to its formation. 1t was
place where the men Of other years
deposited their dead, for many of their
bones have been disinterred. A road
now passes through it, and the bones
crumble under the dray horses hoofs,
and are waited away on the winds.
The society of this place is very
pleasant. The ladies are very gay in
their dress. Last winter there were
many public balls few married ladies
attend them, and the gentlemen were
out of patience, and threatened never
to invite us again. | feel in a measure
compelled to accept invitations, being
a stranger you know it is necessary
for a stranger to make more exertion
to be agreeable than an "old inhabi-
tant." We took tea at Judge Parishs
ON Sunday. Mr.. West came home with
us and stayed all night. He was in
such a hurry to be of that he could not
wait for breakfast. | gave him some
bread and milk, and away he galloped
to the Bishops, to proceed Immediately
on his journey to England. Give my
love and sarriee to Henry Wise, and
ask him if he has forgotten Miss Babe ?
| hope to see him in Washington this
summer, when | shall have a great deal
to tell him. | hear his Louisa is to be
married to Mr.. Petit, who has been a
widower five or six long months. Tell
Adelaide she must send my piano. l
now feel the want of it more than ever.
Ihave not seen one since | came here.
We hear so much about turnpike
roads and canals that | could not help
telling you something about them.
There has been a celebration or parade
here to-day, on account of opening the
feeder" | am invited to a large party
this evening, and it is time was pre-
pairing. l almost despair now of see
ing the Virginia friends we expected
this spring. As ever yours,

SFor the pages of your sparkling new
journal, would you like a leaf from the
olden time? | have just read a pleas,
ant and graceful tribute paid in Il re-
cent number of the STANDARD, to the
mumory Of my grandfather. No one
could be more richly deserving Of the
love Expressed by DR., +. S. Joynes.
He was one of five brothers-aA men
of stately presence and profound intel
leet. -Four became ministers of the
gospel, while he chose the law as a pro-
fession. As teacher, his ehors were
directed to the advancement Of young
men in classical studies, and his profci.
ency as a classical. scholar may be in.
ferred from the fact that in the recita.
ton room he never used a book. Dr.
Joynes laughingly tells us of the differ
ence his class experienced when my
grandfather was absent attending to his
duties as Chancellor (having appointed
som one to hear the rectations), and
when he was present himself, walking
to and fro with his hands locked behind
him, but as quick to arrest a mistake
as a thorough musician would be to de
tect false note in the performance Of
apupil.
He married one of the first and fair
est ladies that the eastern Shore"
ever produced-a relative of Gov.
Wise, who was his life long asso-
ciate and friend. The young couple
event West, and resided for time in
Columbus, Ohio, the father of the lady,
Capt. Thomas Parker, who was an Off
Ger during some Of our troubles with
the "Mother Country" having entered
four thousand acres Of land in that part
of Ohio known as the Virginia Militia
ry Reservation. From a packet of
time yellowed letters, Iquote for you a
description of what the now splendid
city of Columbus was somsthing more
than fifty years ago, hoping it may
prove interesting. My grandmother

An enumeration of the inhabitants in
the town of Columbus was taken recent
ly, from which it appears that the
whole population is 1912. This Is a
larger number than has been generally
estimated. More than one.seventh of
the population are children under five
years, there being 232. There are $40
from five to ten years of age, making
nearly one-sixth; from ten to fifteen
years, TT; from fifteen to twenty-one
years, only 1853. This gives total
population under fifteen of 649. There
are $50 householders. Columbus, not
withstanding its slow progress bids fair
within a few years to become large
