PALATKA,

the ''cremated city" was my next halt
ing place after two hours journey over
the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
Railway. Many prefer the slower voy-
age by steamer, and it is indeed a most
beautiful trip. The wide spreading
magnificent river in many places over
five miles in width is majestic and resem-
bles our own grand St. Lawrence from
Quebeck to Montreal. Many beautiful
homes adorn the banks, nesting in the
midst of verdant orange groves, each a
perfect picture in itself fit for the brush
of any of the old masters. Those of Mr.
Alex Mitchell, of Milwaukee, and Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe are noticeable,
but among so many it is difficult to par
ticularlize, and one gazes with speechless
admiration rs each view disolves follow

madam southerner. One noticeable fea-
ture in all the good people of Jackson
vile is the Intense desire to boom their
city and state. The press Of the state
carry this to an almost ridiculous extent.
1t is wonderfully fertile state, and for
little labor nature gives most bountiful
returns. In no one of the states or any
of our own provinces will nature yield
so much in return for intelligent labor,
but to listen to the average Floridian
will at once cause a feeling Of suspicion
to come into the mind of q stranger
which it is hard to eradicate. The truth,
is itself sufficient without any extension,
and 'gilt-edged' statements and figures
defeat the purpose for which they are
advanced. Some years since the city
lived almost entirely on the money ex-
pended 10y inyalids and tourists, but lat
terly the expansion of trade makes It
more independent of the winter visitors.
Northern people say q cannot vouch for
the truth of this that in November and
December, when visitors commence ar
irving in Florida they are welcomed by
the Floridians as ''our northern guests.
In April and May, when they are about
returning north, they are spoken of as
"thOse cussed Yanks; wonder what they
come down here for, anyhow p The
city is supplied with good water by the
city waterworks The obtaining of the

reservoir is circular, with solid rock
bottom, through which several artesian
wells are sunk, fully supplying the tank

Of water. A fair quality Of gas is sup
piled by gas works, and a street railway
provides for pedestrians. An immense
business is done in lumber, and the huge
sawmills on the banks of the st. Johns

Many beautiful winter homes adorn the
streets. The hotels are excellent, and a

Trouble in q Family.

ZANEsvILLE, O., Jan. 5.-Twenty-six yeare
ago, John L.. Bennett and Samuel Hull, who
married sisters, were living together in the same
house in jackson township. Mrs. Hull alleges
that in 1858 Bennett ravished her twice, but that
on account of his wife and children she said
nothing about it at the time. Hull and his wife
soon after removed to Indiana, where they
bought a farm and settled down, having bor-
rowed the necessary funds from Bennett. Not
having been repaid the money, some years ago
Bennett sued Hull, had his farm sold at sheriff's
sale. and bought it himself. A few days after
he received a letter from Mrs. Hull threatening
to expose the crime he had committed upon her
unless he should deed the farm to her husband,
and give him $500 besides. This letter was fol-
lowed by others, and finally, about the LIST of No
vember last by Hull and his wife themselves,
who repaired to Benefits farm in Jackson town
ship and repeated their demand for a settlement.
Bennett finally eJected them, and was shortly
after arrested on an affidavit by Mrs. Hull charg@
ing him with having committed rape on her per-
son in May, 1855. He was acquitted in the pro-
liminary examination which was held at Fra
z~eysburg on Tuesday, and Immediately had Hull
and his wife arrested and brought here on the
charge of black-mail. Their preliminary exam
nation resulted in their being bound over to

A Strange Coincidence.

CANAJoHARIE, N. ", Jan. 5.-Wm. French
and wife are among the earlier settlers of Can
ajoharie. They owned a fine farm overlooking
the village, on which stood nine stately, well-de-
veloped pine trees. These trees were regarded
as a landmark, and the name of French was al
ways associated with them. When Mr.. French
died, twelve years ago, soon after one of the
trees died. A daughter died eight years after.
and since then another tree has wasted away.
The mother has been sickly for years, and it is
Gus condition. As Mrs. French died this week,
many residents expect to find only six living
trees on the farm next spring. Including Mr..
and Mrs. French and their actual offsprings.
Exclusive of the sons wives) there were nine.
and six are living.
