Bachelors, old and young, who lind
dearth of eligible wives In the Western
wilds where their unhappy lots are
cast, frequently send letters To Superin-
tendent Jackson ut Castle Garden, set
ting forth their lonely condition and
earnestly requesting the superintendent
to put them in immediate communica-
ton with young women who are will
ing 10 bear the hardships Of life on tho
frontier to become wives. Inc writer's
certainly appesr to have Q high opln-
ion Of the superintendent In their choos-
ing him to select their partners for life.
The letters rs q rule are conciseiy writ
ten, and there Is little sentiment In any
Of them, through all are evidently In
earnest. Mr.. Jackson has Accumulate
I'd several hundred Of those letters
which had been coming through the
mails for years. About three years ago
Lee had received letter which had
been written by lady at Wilmington,
Del, who desired 10 form the acquaint.
ancc Of some Western farmer. II wAa
written In an excellent manner. Tho
lady belonged to . good family. This
letter was published In one Of the pa.
pers, and was copied BY many Of tho
principal journals OF the West. The
name OF the writer was, for obvious
reasons, withheld. Since then dozens
of letters for the fair writer have come
into Mr.. Jackson's hands which tho
writers desire him 10 forward, the let
ters mailed being stamped, directed. with
a space left In the address for the lady's
name. Mr.. Jackson u short time since
received note from the postmaster mt
Wilmington which said that
the Office was nearly Hooded
with letters OF the same
character. Three young ladies In Kent
vile, Nova Scotia, save both postage
and labor by sending the following:
Superintendent Jackson:
