Mr.. EDITOR:
Time has passed with great rapidity since
our last communication was written to your
widely circulated and popular paper. AL
most a year has passed, and yet, apparently
| it has been only little while. Suffice II to
l say, thas that the time has not been so long
as to cause me for q moment to forget
| the HERALD, nor to erase a single name OF
its members from the tablets Of my memory.
Varied are the scenes which meet my eyes
at my present writing, in comparison to
1 those that surrounded me at my last. Rocks
and hills have given place to gradual
accents and descents, together with level
plains and valleys. Ten years ago il was a
forest of stately timber, very rapidly has 1t
changed in that time. Quite number OF
dwellings have been erected, and various
business houses are now under the supervis-
ion of the enersstio, intelligent and tenn
perate citizens of This place. The dry goods
establishments, only two in number, con-
tain a selection which bespeaks careful
thought and cultured taste, for the mer-
chants Messrs. Nat &c WhitthOrne Camp
bell preside over as neat and orderly store
as any merchants, however experienced
need require in a village, Messrs. r. q F.
NJ. Woody are proprietors of a very extern
sive line of merchandise, which comprise
three departments, respectively, dry goods,
groceries and drues. The buildings are ar
ranged for that purpose, and, apropos, they
have one of1the incest stores Tor q "cOun-
try town. that can be found.
We also have buggy mandatory, wood
shop, blacksmith shop and drug store, all
unyier the control of Mr.. GegoIse Wright,
one of our nice quiet and oDiigibg neigh
bors. As this country goes under the name
of "such sickly country, 3 the beople are
using their time, talents and money IN tax
ing every advantage of disease. Ih4 timber
is being cleaned away and drug stss,tes, are

Our friend James Woody, who was so I'M
fortunate recently as to have his right hand
mangled by a saw mill, has been on visit
% Union City this week Anxious to hear
he debate that has been so exciting in that
,ity between Rev. w. NJ. Robinson and
Rev. - Milburn. LEAF by leaf the ro-

,ther member Of the Herald family win
embrace the joys and sorrows of married
ife On the 4th day of May, we under
tand Miss Annie Adkins viii unite her
lestiny with one who is noble, generous and
rue. May the wedding day dawn brightly
nd clearly, typical Of what their future
viii be, but should it be interpreted with
LIQUIDS and the light and warmth of the !
oon-day sun be obscured thereby, il win
My be more truly typical of what the fu-
nre of every one is. tFor into every life
ONE sorrow must fall.' Should any cloud
trouble ever east shadow DER their :
may the love.light Of affections ]
M gently dispense the clouds and may its !
cams penetrate and clear away the mist,
ausiBg the flowers that surround "life's
lgged road to bloom more sweetly and
lay they burst into new beauty and lowell :
ess, rs affections showers and sunshine
re bestowed perpetually on them. IL
