/ MEssRS EDITORS During recent
visit into the neig hborhood indicated
in the healing of this article, we were
informed of certain curious visitors
who had been calling upon parties
living in the aiorsaid neig ighborhood
As we were informed, the visitors
called ufon parties living near Glade
Mill, Middlesex twp, but as to the re-
suit of their visitation o. the reception
/ they met with we were not informed
But in the more immediate neighbor-
hood where your correspondent was
they made calls, the circumstances of
which we are better acquainted with.
In one instance they called to see
Mr.. Steward one evening while he
and his family were away. They set
down to wait en- him coming home,
aid as the evening was cool and the
fire low, one put on Mr.. Stewards
gum coat and the other his Sunday
coat to keep warm until he would
come but as Mr. Steward was long
in coming and the fire had gone out,
they concluded not to wait, and start
cd, forgetting that they had Mr. Stew
ards coats on. On another occasion
they called to see Jim Maisland, and
mistaking the spring-house for the
dwelling house they went in and see
ing no one about they concluded they
were not at home, and proceed
ed to get their own supper.
They were very hungry, for there was
a crock Of appie-butter and can of
jelly which they eat, and even the
crock and can they were in; then they
took two acres of his farm, carrying it
away with them. If the land alone
had been takon and the spring-house
not been meddled with. Jim' would
have blamed it on Charlie Woods, as
Charlie has 100 acre farm that he
can't work, because 'Jim.' has his on
top of it. Another time they went TO
John Quinn's ,butdid not take anything
except morning paper. John said
he didn't care for. the paper only he
would like to have looked at the births
and see if any person was born that
he knew. jim Maisland says he
wishes they had never been born. At
no place were they had been was there
an effort made to catch them and find
out who they were, excepting at Mr..
Buckets house where Harvey hearing
them at the cellar window, got up
and gave chase, but be was unsuccessful
in catching any excepting little boy
who could not run fast enough to
keep up. He caught him and brought
him to his house, but it showed no
light in finding out the rest, save
that it shows that they do not live in
the neighborhood as the little boy
cannot be identified by anybody in
the neighborhood, though several
went there to see him and identify him
He also refuses to tell who his asso-
ciates are; who he is; where he is
from or to answer any other questions
put to him.
Ollie Myers says be isone of the 3O6
at Chicago Harvey says if he is,
there will only be 3O5 the next time,
but the neighbors say Ollie's sugges-
tion is groundless, for while he has
every appearance of Stalwart, yet he
is entirely too young to have been a
delegate to National Convention. as
early as 1880, and even if he had Came
ron would have taken better. care. of
him and had him appointed to some
important Office.
There is much speculation about who
the intruders are. Some would have
it Wolfe, and say anybody that would
be complicated as he was in that G. Y.
insurance business wouldn't mind
taking butter. Others cast the blame
on Arthur's Cabinet /: they think Ar
thur sent them out to hunt up some
good butter for the great dinner parties
he is giving. Others say it was Ar
thur himself, and that Conkling would
have been along had his great law
practice permitted him to leave New
York; but all this is merely conjecture.
We do not believe Arthur would do
anything of the kind Tho opponents
of the administration are very anxious
to get an issue to help them in this
falls campaign, should Wolfe decide to
bolt.
This information is gathered from
rumors coming from various sources,
and may not, in every instance, be cor
rect. Perhaps the regular correspond
ent Of the CITIZEN in that place, who
is better acquainted with the facts, can
give q more accurate account OF the
work of those unknown parties. i
