GossBIY, August u, 1886.
After my last letter TO you went on
n walking excursion, an account OF
which may not be undressing. Ae-
companied by friend, I walked from
Grassington to Kidney Crag, and from
there to Hallam Cove, at which place
saw fall greater than Niagara so
far as height goes, but instead of the
small river running over the preeipicc
the stream has now found an outlet
under the rocks, and comes flowing
out at the foot of the huge rocks. The
scene is one of indescribable grandeur.
| did not before know that Yorkshire
or England possessed such wonders. |
also saw at the same time u river flow
ing through huge holes down u preci-
pice, which were evidently so made
by the constant wearing of the water
through them. After a dinner at the
hotel we set out for the railway sta
ton, eight. miles distant, which we
reached at o'clock p. IN. We set out
in the morning at $50, and in the 49,
hours walked % miles wished often
that many Of my friends were present
to enjoy the trip, which was the finest
| ever had. The time in the mean
while has been occupied in visiting
the sea coast, Blackpool, and then to
London. At the latter place visited
the National Art Gallery, with its
wealth of rare paintings, of great age,
many Of which money would not buy.
| also visited South Kensington Mu-
scum, at which place one could easily
spend a week saw there and exam-
med the MS of Dickens works, besides
others of equal interest. Also the CO.
lonial Exhibition, which, while very
interesting, was SO crowded that the
pleasure was lessened there were
about 10000 people there that day,
81, 600 the day before. The past few
days have been spent in local visits
and drives. BY the time this letter
reaches you shall be on the point Of
sailing-the gath inst. Rev. w. II. S.
Aubrey, ID. D., L i. D., of London will
preach for Inc in Island Pond on the
18th day Of September. hope many
will improve the opportunity of hear

General w. 7. Sherman recalls the time
when ga beautiful young city-bred LADY,
married q poor second lieutenant, and fol-
loved him to the plsins, where he lived
in dug-out. "This little lady had her
Saratoga trunk, which was the chief
article of her furniture, yet by means Of
a rug on the ground floor, few candle
boxes covered with red cotton calico for
seats, a table improyised out of barrel
head, and fireplace and chimney exca-
waited in the back wall or bank, she had
Transformed her hole in the ground into
a most attractive home for her young war
rior husband; and she entertained me
with supper consisting of the best Of
coffee, fried ham, cakes and jellies from
the commissary, which made on my mind
an impression more lasting than has any
one of the hundreds of magnificent ban
quets have since attended in the palaces
and mansions of our own and foreign
lands"

Five graduates of the class of SO,
Dartmouth College, have at different
times since their graduation made
their home in Island Pond. John w.
Barstow was the first, we believe, and
spent two summers here as supply for
the Congregational Church. Nelson
J. Whitehill was the next, and taught
the High School during the fall terri
of 1888. He was followed by S. W.
Robertson, who completed the school
year as principal of the same school.
T. M. Edmands was the fourth, and
he also has supplied the Congregations
al Church at different intervals, in
Guiding last Sunday. Island Pond has
proved an agreeable and attractive
place to Mr.. Edmands, and he has re-
turned at various times to spend brief
visits among us. The fifth member Of
the class is the Rev. John Ii. Sellers,
NJ. A., who is now Missionary in charge
of Christ Church. We hope the entire
class will follow the example OF the
above mentioned five, and at some
time or other make their abiding place
in Island Pond.

q journal devoted to the promotion of

ccribed their various attractions, with the
hope that they would draw the attention

oppositts. In these descriptions the ad-
vertisers did not spare themselves but
told without reservation just how alluring
they were youth, beauty, health, wisdom,
riches, and all sorts of particular recon-
mcndatiors were related by the writers
with as much ingenuosness and freedom
as though they had been describing others
instead of themselves. FIauk and untTam-

Items that should be published are
often left out of local papers, Says an
exchange, for no other reason than
that the editor fails to hear of them at
all until they are OLD and moss cover
ed. Quite often some one regrets that
certain news items were not in the
paper. So does the editor. Some one
has been away on visit or has had
nice social party, or has made some
neat lprovement, or some church
has had Il special service, or some
society an election or festival, but did
not think It worth while to notify the
