To the Editor Of The MOrristown Gazette:
An old lady in this neighborLood,
whose literary taste is acknowledged
to be good. SAYS: After reading the
Century, the North american Re
UielC and other standard periodicals,
that she believes that commonplace
articles written for the press are
more e'evating in their nature than
those prepared with care by dis
tinguished journalists. After this
remark ! called her attention to the
last issue of THE MoRRIsTowN
GAZETTE, and referred to certain
local items, emanating from these
diggins. She said ridiculous articles
were preferable to the masses, where
pleasantly was the aim and guiding
beau ideal. She informed ME that
seven families had sent To borrow
the last GAZETTE, and if wheat was
a legal tender at one dollar per
bushel, as was coon-skins in the
days of Governor John Sewer, THE
GAZETTE should have an increase OF
two hundred subscribers in this cirii
district.
To diversity these items, it may
be well to touch upon mensuration
of surfaces, plane and spherical
trigOnometTy in order to meet the
wishes of those of our early asSo-
GATES, who append iegUH, Jiccd-
ldureVS, and ID. G. l.. to their cognO-
mems. We must digress. Our dig
gins arc in full sympathy with the
projected completion of that great
railway enterprise from MorristOwn
to the great northwest, in which
Col. King and Maj. Campbell are
Just now the great magnates. The
latter paid this vicinity a trip OF
observation last spring, and so elec-
trified our people with his presence
his huge saddle-pockets filed with
profiles, parallelograms and mono,
grams that we have been induced
by an occular demonstration to be,
lieve that nature has pointed out a
natural route from MorristOwn via
Chucky Bend, and State Creek, in
Cooke county, to Pigeon river, in
tersecting with the North and South
Carolina divisions, now almost con
solidated with our East Tennessee
outlook. Maj. Campbell Is a great
civil engineer, and a first-class
Judge of South Carolina monogram
iHimemOrdtuS. The farmers are all
busy in these parts.
jeff Rogers lost his grey hound
sometime ago. 1t is said to have
been a better judge of aunt Vina' 5
nest eggs than any other dog. He
jdcet, DC, dc.
Joe and Eb Susong are model
young men. They can do more
work, do it better, and take more
care of mules, hogs and bacon than
any other producers in these low
grounds of sorrow. Either will
make first-class husbands. Could
not tell which would be the best
chance for a nice young lady.
Mrs. John Cooper is a butter
maker of the old issue. Churns
cream only, and makes New York
goshen. Save your cans for John
when he comes TO town.
Mai. john Jenkins has a new red

more rails, keeps better fencing than
does any one at at Springvale. lie
Is a gentleman of regular habits,
rises by his bell-eats by it, sings
by it, and rings it as q signal for his
police force
Bill Griffin is the best mail rider
that ever sat on a mail pouch. He
can furnish more clean papers and
letters. do it in better style, and
bring them in better condition than
any of Uncle Sans officials. He de-
serves all the post routes that he
might aspire TO ask for. Everybody
around here has a chicken pie
saving for this accommodating mail
carrier. May his horse never be in
want of corn and oats, a. long as
Bill makes him june to the tune Of
Uncle Sam.
We are preparing for the Fairs
this fall. We will take in Tate :
first, and believe a man will add
years to his terrestrial existenc by
imbibing annually Of Tate's waters,
and finally when nature transforms
him to his eternal abode, his cor
