A Word From Virginia.
REAMs STATION, Va, April 10. g

MEANS CITATION, VA, April 10, ~.
Editor ofthe ESrERPmsl:-
There are so many Of our Northern
friends that wished me to write through
the columns Of the ENTERPRISE and tell
them OF our trip TO the South and how we
liked Il after we got here l win do so.
We found the excursion train at Bucyrus,
where we were met by John Mooies, Of
Wooster, o., the genial Southern emigra-
ton agent, and number OF other persons
from Seneca and other counties. AT Edi.
son we were Joined by Messrs Pratt and
Robinson from Huntington. There we're
more than a score Of jolly folks in our
company. From Bucyrus our train glided
brishly along arriving at Columbus in
time to connect with the outgoing tram
over the Scioto Valley road. This train
carried US at rapid rate through South
ern Ohio To lronton, where our train was
ferried across the Ohio river to Ashland,
KY. Here we had to wait about four
hours Tor the east-bound express over the
C& o Ry. 1t finally came to our relief
and soon we were going at a rapid rate
across Northeast Kentucky into West Vir.
ginia. By this time day had fully dawned
and we were gazing upon the rapid Hog-
ing Kanawa and the lofty peaks and pic
turesque scenery on either side Of that
rock-bound stream. All day as we moved
along the banks Of the Kanawa new and
green rivers amidst the lofty peaks Of the
Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains our
eyes were ieasting on the grand scenery Of
turbulent waters, snow.capped mountains,
and little intervening valleys. The eager
gaze Of the passengers was, however, often
interrupted by the sudden entrance into
midnight darkness Of tunnel after tunnel
Of which there were between twenty and
thirty. IN the evening we changed cars at
Charlottesville and glided down the valley
yia Monticello, the former home Of Thomas
Jefferson; arrived in Richmond at9 p m
The next morning at few minutes afler
O'Clock took the train for Reams Station
where we were met by Messrs, Foster and
Stewart and others awaiting our arrival
We soon learned that the equinoctial
storm had visited this region in the form
of a two days rain, causing streams 10
overflow their banks and high water gen
orally. Notwithstanding the heavy rains
the roads did not seem bad to Uhioans
who are accustomed to the horrible roads
Of the North. The spring has been un-
usually late and very wet, but wheat, grass
and winter oats are green and nice; peaches
and plums are blossomed, cherries and
blackberries budded.
The mari and lumber business is being
developed In this Ohio colony and the yer.
dict Of all who have visited this region II
that II Is unsurpassed In all respects; that
no better opportunities for profitable in
yestment are offered than In this locality
many are availing themselves Of them and
are securing homes here where farms and
timber lands are cheap and good and the
close proximity 10 markets of the best
kind make them the more desirable. Thi,
leaves us we'll and In good spirita
