For the Connecticut Western Ne,es.
 Editor Ne,cs:-We are having most delightful weather. The nights are cool, so cool that warm blankets are necessary, but the days are soft and warm, so warm and pleasant that cold December seems fable.
 Oriole gives promise of quite fu- ture, but at present 1t is very much in embryo. Like many other young towns in this state, it looks we'll enough on the map to have a board of aldermen and high taxes, but few days ago the writer lost his way in the 'tforest prim- eyal'' on Pennsylvania avenue, and only sscame out of the wilderness" at a neighbours house, five miles from home.
 As yet there is not frame house in the settlement, but quite number are only waiting for sawed lumber to build with and sawed lumber we shall have gdlors for the largest saw mill in the county has just been set up here, complete with planer and shingle ma chine. It is also expected that by March next the Florida Southern rail road will have reached here, and with railroad station close at hand the place will s'boom."
 The country is filling up very rapid ,. ly; immigration is pouring in and rail roads are building in all directions, the land grants given them being of more value than the cost of the road complet- ed, so it is the less surprising that the >state is fairly gridironed by them
 The sol is very sandy. In the ham, maks itis dark and rich, but there is but very little of this land. The pine land is very sandy, but quite fertile and in town near here the writer saw one lemon that weighed four pounds and ten ounces and could easily have made large pail full of lemonade, which is a sufficient commentary on the fertility of this soil. Being light it is easily worked when once cleared and as the air is almost always moist and we have very abundant rainfall there is no fear of drouth.
 Game is not very abundant but we saw small flock of wild turkeys few days ago in this vicinity and two nights ago buck was killed within rife shot of this house. Quail and .ployer seem quite plentiful and few woodcock are seen, but these last seem to be quite rare. Most of the hunting done in this state is after the ''nimble fea' and no complaint can be made of their scarcity for their name is legion, but residence of few weeks and little insect pow der accustom one to them so that they are hardly noticeable. Snakes of all kinds seem to be extremely rare, much less often seen than in Connecticut and those few seen are almost always harm less ones. A moccasin was reported as seen about week ago, but doubts ex- list in regard to the accuracy of the statement. the uncharitable limiting at Florida rum. s. F. ADAM.

LAX EVELLE.

Christmas has come and gone-Christ- mas with all it's pleasures, so attractive to the children-Christma with it's fam fly gatherings and kind remembering the poor, is more day of thanksgiving than the one in November appointed by our governor. "It is more blessed to give than to receive"-can anyone doubt it ,? 'The poor ye have always with you" Right glad I am that old Sails bury did not forget it. If anyone doubts 1t they ought to have been pres ent on Christmas eve at anyone of our different churches and seen the contri- buttons from it's different members many poor, sad heart that was strug- gling to keep the wolf from the door during these hard times, was made hap py by the receipt of substantial evi- dences that they were not forgotten many poor family has realized that Christmas day was one day in the year when differences of oplnion were set aside. "Peace and good will'' was the only pass word needed to open wide the hearts of those generously inclined. Such an expression of sympathy for the poor; such recognition of their right to be remembered more particularly at l this season of the year, has seldom been seen. Ng:He who giyeth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord" 'The borrow CT is servant to the lender" Let us hope that those who lent so willingly will receive good interest on their in- l vestment.
 Mir Charles Nightingale is improving rapidly He is able to sit up and is feeling quite comfortable.

 There will be an old folks dauce, m der the auspices of the Village Improve ment society, at Lakeville hall, New Years night.

A Letter fr0ma Dakota.

(For the C0nnecticsa HeSte1n NelcS)
 Editor Ne,cs, DEAR SR:-I suppose you favored ones, residents of the beau tiful Berkshire valleys,-at least those of you who, in the years gone by, went to district school, and played "mumble- typeg " and " duck-on-the-rock," and put bent pins in the seat for some other fellow to slt on, shirked your arithmetic and neglected your geography,-have some vague idea that Dakota is land of ice and snow, situated somewhere in that indefinite space around the North Pole, and so placed and especially de- signed by the Creator for the purpose of keeping the axis of the earth cool and serene, and that the inhabitants are per petually engaged in cutting and fash ioning huge blocks of ice into ''journal' and "quarter boxes and fitting them around the shaft of the earth, to the end that it may revolve smoothly and with out ''wobbling" on it's centre, and with out undue friction, in order that you and ''all the world and the rest of mankind" may enjoy life without any attention to the details of the terrestrial revolution.
 Now if such is yonr idea of Dakota, let me correct 1t a little. Dakota, or its people are not devoted solely to such an object, worthy and laudable though it may be, nor are it's praries covered with eternal snow. On the contrary, though not exactly tropical country, we are nevertheless very comfortable We have had no cold weather yet, but one or two frosts, and farmers were har- rowing their ground preparatory to next springs crops, only day or two since We sit with open windows and doors, and smoke our Havanas on the balcony by moonlight.
 You people of the eastern states can not appreciate the exceeding dryness and mildness of our atmosphere, and mind you it is not the cold, but the dampness of your winters, that make them so dlsagreeable, and while you sit freezing in overcoats, we are happy in our shirt sleeves. Notwithstanding our higher latitude, Dakota is not an inhab- tied iceberg fit only for Esquimaux, seals and walrus,-but fine country, both winter and summer. Her fine eli mate, fertile praries, vast wheat fields, and intelligent people are sure to put her in the front rank of states in the near future. If any doubteth, let him come and see.

We are in the midst of holiday festivities, which being carried on very much the same as at other places, need scarcely to be mentioned.

The Congregational church is tastefully decorated with ev- ergreens and looks very pretty in its holiday attire. Rev ELS. Porter preach ed two most excellent Xmas sermons on Sunday. The choir sang an anthem and other appropriate selections. This Tues day evening there is holiday festival, held at the church, for the Sunday school

A few days ago he arrived and register ed at the Elmore house. He went about renewing acquaintances with the place and people. Saturday morning he did not rise at the usual early hour. Some one was sent to his room, and found him dead in bed. Dr King was imne- diately summoned, made medical ex- animation and gave his verdict that death was caused by spasms of the heart. His remains were taken to South Dover for interment. He was sixty years of age. ..........
