FLORIDA LETTER.

The following letter received from an old
citizen Of Butte may be Of interest to soma
OF sur many readers. We publish it by
permission Of Mr.. j. D. Thomas. Esq.:
FoRr MEADE, Florida, Sept. &c, 1886.
DEAR FRIEND: When I left Montana two
years ago l left with the understanding
that / would inform you of what l thought
OF Florida, and whether / considered it q
good country for Investments. Ut course,
/ have taken considerable time, and now
feel. after passing two years here, that l
know something in regard to the merits
and dement's of the State. II it were not
for the climate I would not give one county
whole State, nor would | think Of living
here for q eingle day: The climate is the
most delicious feature and far beyond
what I had conceived. It is everything,
from the fact that ON account Of it every
thing is being added to it. The whole
United States to the east of the Rockies is
pouring it's wealth and population into the
State, and ON the lines of the thorough
fares-and scarcely nowhere else-towns
and cities are springing up like magic.
When q railroad is built through an unde-
veloped section-as most Of the country
was and must be without a road-towns
dIC ld1u OuU dU COuVCulCAV U10Vt1uCC0 0l1u
places; soon the trees are removed, houses
are built, churches and schools established,
and all the necessary elemeuts OF q city are
in operation in such a short time that one
cannot but marvel, especially when he con
siders the extreme poverty Of the soil.
The stranger secs nothing to warrant
this rapid growth. He does not remain
here long enough, if only q winter visitor,
to know and appreciate the cause of all
this rapid growth. He is told that it is
the climate; that 1.-THE land is worth moth
ing, but the climate is worth 500 per
acre." He says, ''Your winters are very
mild and pleasant, I admit, hut how about
your surftmers9" Now, / can say that our
summers are warm, but not sd hot as
where l was raised-97 degrees being the
highest temperature reached this year.
The nights are always cool and sleep is just
As refreshing here as in Montana. The
length of our warm season-from May l to
October lis all we can object to. This
season it has been pleasant enough since
August 10, and we now feel that our sum
mer is over. And as for feas, mosquitoes,
in Missouri or Illinois.
1 have said that the country is not
worth much away from railroads. This is
owing to the tefishAble nature Of the
products Of the soil: Grain can be trans
ported by wagon any distance without iii
jury, but fruits and vegetables cannot.
People coming to Florida should settle in
or very near a town, and only attempt to
cultivate small tracts. If they do this they
will like it here; but if they go out into the
woods they are almost certain to be dis.
satisfied. Very respectfully,
DR.: i. THoMpsoa.

4 Xarr0M Eseah&:

Quite a commotion was raised in at
least one household in Burlington, night
before last. About IL o'clock at night as
Mr.. and Mrs. Elias Dulong were quietly
sleeping with their youngest child between
them, a bullet entered the south window,
passed through the curtain and the
head Of the bedstead and struck against
the right shotilder of MIS-: DuiUrg. She
awoke with a scream and a shutting noise
was heard on the siden ak outside.
Fortunately the force of the ball
was spent and aside from a trifing sensa-
ton Of pain as if some one were pinching
her, the lady suffered no pain. The bullet
may have been a stray one, but Mr.. Du-
long is inclined to the opinion that some
one was aft r him.
Himself and family are certainly to be
congratulated on their escape from what
might have been d most serious affair.
