The Foster County Gazette has the
following good words on the society
of the northwest:
elf the northwest has one peculiar.
ity which is noticeable above another,
and which demands the extreme of
unqualified admiration from every
body, it is its society. Better, hap
pier and more contented people never
lived than those who have trans
ferred their homes from the devel-
oped, staid and systematic east to the
vast and varied freedom of the north
and west. The amount of pleasure
derived from the western social gath
ering is fabulous. Whether it is the
may intricacy of the light fantastic
or the graver pleasure of the church
sociable, an evenings schemes at
whist or quiet gathering at tea, or
whether at a rural picnic or pass
ing conversation, the hand of the
superior society is quickly seen.
There are not in the west those fac
tions of the same society which are
bound to rule or ruin the pleasures of
a city or community in the east and
reduce the whole fabric to medioc-
rity, but there is a united harmony
in this, as we'll as all other north
western institutions which has its
elevating and refining influence upon
the whole people.
