4 LETTER FROM REV. ROBERT HUNT

Dear Ne,Ds:
 Your welcome paper comes freighted with so much news that is interesting to me that feel like expressing my appre- citation by sending you few items from our locality.
 Lee is perhaps the largest manufac- turing town on the line of the Housa- tonic railroad, especially of the article of paper. For place of considerable business and enterprise it has succeeded remarkably in preserving old time usages and manners. A stranger would at once recognize that he was in New England town; every thing is grooved and channeled and perpetually run in those grooves and channels; yet there are some undermining tendencles which the present forces upon the past But it is well to remember that change is not always reform. There are so many things in the intellectual and social life of the people that are praiseworthy that visitor soon forgets the quaintness and signs of conservatism.
 The value of education is duly prized by the citizens of Lee. Their high school is an object of prioe and justly so, for it is admirably conducted by Pro- lessor Rice. who is graduate of Yale college and who has been it's principal for 20 years. The town is well supplied with churches. The Coneregationalist is much the largest, but the Baptist and Methodist maintain a comfortable exist ence. A cordial spirit is manifest Tn all the churches.
 Our climate is cold. I never before lived so near High Heaven and the North Pole as now. It is said to be very healthy.
 Lenox and Stockbridge are far famed as places of summer resort.
 The breeding of horses has received much attention in Lee. Mir Elizi Smith has Q stock farm of 800 acres and horses arc his speciality. Mir Gross has many horses of very high merit. One of our bishops said that every Methodist preacher aspired to own a good horse. have felt that aspiration frequently since coming to Lee, but such prices, a poor Methodist preacher can only think of and wonder how nice it would be, | if
 Trout streams and lakes abound; fisll stories are numerous.
 Business drags here as elsewhere, but no such fatal stagnation as was felt from 1873 to 1877. There can be no .pro' tracted hard times in this country. With a little prudence and patience we shall tide over the shoals of financial strin. gency and find an open, genial sea oi prosperity. AS ever, yours,
 ROBERT HUNT. Lee. M1ss., June 10. 1885.
