David B. Hill,
THE NEXT GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK
STATE.

The election of Governor Cleveland,
of New York, to the Presidency. makes
it necessary for him IL resign his pres
ent position some time previous to
March next. This will make David
E. Hill, now Lieutenant Governor of
the Empire State, its Governor.
He was born in Chemung county
New York, in 1S43. At AN early age
be manifested great interest in politics
and gave his allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party. In 1864 he was admitted
to the Bar in Eimira, where he then
resided, and of which he has cOntin-
ued to be an honored citizen. He was
elected a msmber of the Assembly in
1870, and again 1S71--In-- his first
term he succeeded in passing through
the Assembly bill for the abolish
ment of the contract system in the
State prisons. 1t was subsequently
killed in the Senate. When, in 1875,
Governor Tilden appointed him MEM
ber of q commission to provide a uni.
form charter for the cities of the State,
he declined on account of pressing
professional work. Elmira has made
him an Alderman and later the Mayor
of that fourishing city.
Mr.. Hill is an old bachelor, peculiar
in his habits, regular rs clockwork
and, it is stated, rather unpleased than
otherwise with the promotion await
ing him. He lives in the Chemung
Canal Bank Building, Elmira. anC
dislikes the idea of leaving his snug
quarters to make his abode in the
splendid Executive Mansion in Alba
ny. His parents are both dead, and ht
has no sisters. That he should bt
necessitated to keep house aud enter
tain on a grand scale in his lonesom,
condition, appears less surprising il
the light of these facts. The ladies
are wondering what the poor maj
will do. Mr.. Hill is a good lawyer ant
politician of experience and sagacity
His chief recreations are music ant
the drama.
The next Governor of New York i
a man of medium height. He wears
tight coat which shows his compac
form to advantage. His head is a goo'

"loyal States" of the North should
submit to be ruled by 1.-The rebel Con
federats States" aided by the "cities
of New York and Brooklyn, which
practically control New Jersey and
Connecticut, their suburbs"
What arrant nonsense this is. AS a
matter of fact President Cleveland re-
ceives 100 votes from "loyal States, !"
as the Republican organs call them
and ll3 votes from States which seced-
ed from the Union. Neither Missouri
Kentucky. Maryland or Delaware was
a secession State, and with New York
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana
they give 100 electoral votes to Cleve-
land.
In addition to these loyal&tates, "

upon 81. 900 majority, was carried by
Blaine by plurality of 5000; Michi-

BUCKEYE HUNTERS CAMP, |
NOVNmht 81 1881 (

J
FRIEND HARRIS :-Itis now six teen
days since my last letter to you, and
we are still in this land of wild woods
old lumber camps and little lakes.
The weather is, and for long time
has been, unfavorable for hunting
We have travelled over and become ac-
quainted with the country here for
miles iu every direction There are
many deer here, but not many to the
hundred acres. The whole country
swarms with hunters, aud some of
them have as many AS two hounds TO
the man. Deer are bounded from day
light until dark of course this makes
them very wild. The little lakes are
81 numerous that when we start deer
We know not in what lake he will
water. Some of them, after having
been several times run, go to the Mns
kegon river, nine TO twelve miles from
here; but there have been many deer
killed here this season. Lake George
the nearest point to us, is about four
miles distant, then it extends three
miles farther to the N. W., and from
us; then there are Doc and Tom about
the same distance from us, north by
west; in these three lakes many of the
deer from our grounds water when
bounded, and around these lakes there
are many hunters with boats, and they
take advantage of other hunters work
running deer to water. 1 told you
there are ten lakes within radius OF
three miles Of our camp; we have
found five more.
Our party have killed nine deer,
some of the finest ever saw; but you
know the law of this commonwealth
forbids our sending venison home
We have venisou fried, brOiled boiled
stewed-venison for break fast, venisOn
for supper, and every day in the week
but we have plenty of potatoes, pork
onions and beans; then we have plen
ty of bread and butter, mince pies
fried cakes, cookies and fruits from
home; we have plenty of tea, cOffe,
and sugar, and good camp to live in
with table 3xS feet, good board bench
es to sit on, and plenty of cooking
utensils; SO you see we are not confin
ed to venison diet, and the facts ar,
we are getting sick of yenison for tn,
last few days.
The climate so far has not been cold
er than in Ohio. The ground is nov
J frozen, and the sun shines most every
day. No snow. The country abou
here looks very much like around Bra
} dy and Pippin, excepting the larges
portion of the timber is pine, Norwa,
tspruce and hemlock but the larges
portion of the land has considerabl
, hard wood timber mixed ia with tn
pine. There are many thousands @
acres of land here which have bee
numbered over in a most wasteful man
ner, leaving five to twenty thousan
feet of second class pine and Norwa
: standing. These choppiDgs have bee
4 covered over with tree tops and off
t from pine cut for lumber, and whe
two to three years dry have been burn
ed, leaving hundreds of thousands {
tall dead trees. 1t is lonely country
