Like other thriving localities in Penn
bina;county We have been seized with I,
desire. to Zee ourselves i'll print. The
question: you and your readers may ask,
is, where is Nowesto? It is post-otlicc
in the township Of Lincoln, on a bew
mail route running from Hamilton to
Drayton, sixteen miles from the first and
nine from the second named place. Tie
settlers are OF class found all over this
county, thrifty and energetic. We have
areligious service every Sunday, Rev.
Mr.. Morrison, Of Dmyton, being the
minister; also Sunday-school which, has
been kept up during the winter, and We
think it speaks well for the moral senti-
ment of our neighborhood to know that
both of these services are attended by
almost every family for miles around.
We haye also goo,l day school held
in neat and co,nmodious building. In
the fall it was felt that something was
needed to interest the people during the
long winter; 80 q. musical and literary
society was organized, which meets every
Fraiay, and which SO far, has been a
pronounced success. Our plan is a de-
bite one evening and the alternate even
,ng amusical and literary program. 1t
has been surprise to all to find the
amount oftalent that can be brought out
by means ofsuch an organization. There
are many neighborhoods where both
young and old could be interested and
protited by s.lcl, society. To such as
have not tried it, we say, Try! The
wheat is nearly all marketed. We sui.
fered but little from frost, SO more hope.
full feeling prevails, and people are get
ting accustomed to think ofthis as home.
Now, MIR. Editor, we have just come for
ward to make our bow, and introduce
ourselves,to your readers, and we will try
as often as anything of interest to your
readers may happen, to continue our
acquaintaRce.
