Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Ed't'r.
Thinking that many of the readers Of your
valuable journal would wish bit of news
outside of their immediate neighhorhood -
| have concluded to give them through the
CAToCTIN CLARION II brief account of my
trip to Chicago.
Leaving Baltimore on the o'clock A. NJ l..
train through to Chicago July 9Th, nothing
of interest occurred till we reached Martins
burg, at which place the b. g. o, have large
works end a very busy scene presented IL
self to the beholder as the hands were NOV
ing rapidly in the discharge of their duties.
From thence, our route to Cumberland, Uhc
great inland city Of Maryland) presented to
US points ofInterest, varied in their charac-
ter. Reaching Cumberland about $50 PM. >,
where delegate Walsh joined us, you may
rest assured we were ready to partake of the
plcnteons supply provided at the Queen City
Hotel for all guests who felt Ike partaking
of the suhstan,ials of life. An elegant din
ner was provided and justice done by those
who believe it necessary to supply the de-
mands of the inner man. The 20 minutes
given for dinner having expired, 'all aboard :
was called, and away we 20 westward. AL
though the heat was very oppressive. yet
the beauties presented by natural formations
kept lis on the "qui vvc", for new points OF
interest
After passing Kcyser city and Piedmont, a
scene of rare excellence and beauty presented
itself Raining very fast on one side OF the
Mountain. and sunshine on the other, with
the lifting of the rainbow, from among the
green foliage, was a beauty never had be-
fore witnessed.
Still keeping lookout, for more attrac-
tons, we reached the great summer resort
along the b. & o. road familarly known rs
Deer Park. At this point quite number
of distinguished persons who had taken up
their homes for the summer, came to the
train, and quite congratulatory feeling cx-
listed for a few minutes, on tho part of some
of the delegation, and the guests of Deer
Park. From thence to Oakland, the county
town of Garrett county, where the train was
boarded by delegate Hammil.
From thence to Grafton for supper and on
, to the Ohio river, and to Newark, o., where
we received the fresh breeze blowing-prov-
ing quite relief from the effects of the sui
try day previous. forgot to mention the
severe halstorm through which VIC passed
about o'clock p. NJ.
From Newark, we passed Utica, Mt. Yer
non, Mansfield, Titfn, Fosterio, the home OF
Gov. Foster, lIoyt's Corners, and the noted
Chicago Junction which omitted to note in
regular order and, by the way, the place to
