THE Niagara excursion was largely pa.
troniZed and enjoyed fully. 1t was one
of the most orderly and pleasant that has
passed over the road. We would like t.
make personal mention of those from this
locality, but their numbers being large
space will not admit. 1t has also been
our custom to write up Niagara and in.
cidents connected with the excursion fol
The CHRONIaLE, but owing to the press
upon its columns, caused by political
news and notices of the fairs, We could
not reasonably ask for the publication OF
an extended letter. Several parties which
had been made up in different localities
purchased tickets, and placed themselves
under my guidance, and l extend tC
them my thanks for patronage and cour-
teous kindly treatment.
Mr.. JOHN FRATER has the first practi.
cal road engine ever introduced into thi:
locality. 1t passes over the roads and as
cends the hills with ease and move:
from farm to farm without any assist
ance whatever. Mr.. F. is AN exterprising
young man, who not being satifed witt
keeping up to the times, endeayors tC
keep one day ahead.
We regret that the pleasant lawn so1
cial arranged to meet at Mr.. Calvin Pol
locks upon invitation of the committee
Messrs. J..W. Newlin, w. S. Miner, Z.
Hays, and ID. w. Watson, was rendered
almost a disappointment. owing to the
rain, which fell on the evening of the
2Sth ult. Many were looking for ward to
an evening of more than usual social en-
joyment, as the gentlemen had spared no
pains OF expense to make this the event
of the season. The cards of invitation
issued were of the neatest style, and were
gotten up at THE CHRONICLE Office. by
Mr.. j. 2. Hall, one of the most artistic
and best job printers in the State. No
doubt much expense was incurred by the
young gentlemen, and your correspondent
holds himself in readiness to ."chip in,
and help the boys TO pay out, and he
feels that hint of this kind is all that is
needed to effect the same action from ev-
cry gentleman invited.
On Tuesday last quite a number of la
dies gathered in unexpectedly at the home
OF the Misses Talbert, in this town, each
bringing present of some kind and en-
Joying good dinner and social time in
each others c0mplny. The thought was
Il kindly one, and the favors were deserv-
ing, as the Talbert sisters have been re,
spected for their industry, but have been
reduced by sickness and misfortune.
