Mr.. EDIToR:
My last communication to the
TELLER was sent from Washington
d. C.'r This WIS a,lssi- named Tor
"Ths- father of his country" it is not so
large and handsome as the capital Of the
U. S, but it is nevertheless a beautiful
borough of 1000 inhabitants. situated in
one Of the valleys Of Northern New
Jersey 1t is one of the prettiest towns
we have seen in our travels. 1t may be,
however, that l am prejudiced in its favor,
owing to the fact that my boy.hood days
were spent here. The GLORIOUS Fourth"
was spent quietly among the green hills
Of my early home. I noticed by one of
the copies of the TELLER, that was re-
ceived, that an excursion was to be given
on the Baker" up Snake river. No
doubt you all had pleasant time. On
Saturday, July 3rd, l had the pleasure
Of hearing Senator Colbuitt, of Georgia,
speak on the subject of temperance.
The theme is an old one but he dealt
with it practically and powerfully, car.
rying conviction to the minds Of those
who Leard him. In these days of loose
morals among oar representative men, it
| is refreshing to hear the voice Of one of
them as an advocate Of moral reform.
We are having delightful time here and
our friends wish us to remain longer, but
we have decided to start foI home via
New York, the first of next week.
New YORK, July 1--we arrived
here yesterday and have been seeing
some Of the sights Of this great city.
We visited Concy Island and remained
for the fire works in the evening. These
are very fine. The representation is the
burning Of Moscow, Napoleon and his
army march triumphantly into the city.
But, soon after occurs the confagation
and they are compelled to abandon it..
We returned via Brooklyn and crossed
on the suspension bridge which connects
these great cities. To-day, on account
of rain, we have remained in doors. To-
morrow we expect to visit Central Park,
and in the evening to take the Hudson
river boat for Albany.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y. July 1s.-We
left New York at 6 o'clock P. NJ, on
Thursday evening on the magnificent
Hudson river boat "Dean Richmond"
and from its deck We had the pleasure
of viewing the scenery of that far famed
river, while the artificial beauty of its
banks exceeds that Of the Columbia, yet
its natural scenery is not nearly so grand
as that Of our own great western river.
We have heard the Lake family and the
Shaw family speak in glowing terms of
the beauty Of Central and Western New
York. A personal observation of these
sections Of country has prepared us to
give our assent to all they have said.
On Friday Of last week We visited the
towns of Gloyersville and JoAnstown.
At the former Of these lives the sister aud
at the latter the father and mother Of
our friend Geo. III. Lake. The two
towns are connected by line of street
cars. The population Of the two places
lis about 10000. The principal industry
is the manufacture of gloves. Two.thirds
of all the buck gloves of this country are
manufactured here. George is not for.
gotten by his relatives and friends.
Many enquiries were made for him and
his estimable vile, whom having not seen
they love. AT Rochester we remained
over Sabbath stopping at the house of
Judge Morgan, whose wife is sister of
our excellent friend Mrs Shaw. They
have delightful home in pleasant
part Of the city. Rochester is certainly
