The people of st. Johnsburv are
considerably rolled up because the
commissioners did not decide to locate
the new insane asylum at that place,
and the papers, especially the Repub-
licdn, are acting unwisely and unjust
ly, not to say insanely, in accusing
Gov. Dillingham; of packing a COM
mittee in the interests of Waterbury.
The accusations are entirely wrong
and the articles are scandalous.
Much as the people of this part of
the State would like the convenience
of having the institution at st. Johns
bury, and willing as all are that st.
Johnsbury should have all the benefit
or prestige such a thing would be to
her, most candid men are able to see
that no place so far from the center
of the State ought to have State
institution of this kind. Once located
it will be permanent, and the extra
expense of transporting the insane,
and the going to and from of such as
visit the institution, if not centrally
located, would be an immense loss to
somebody. The people of St. Johns
bury ought to be reasonable and look
at the matter in the light of good
policy and justice. 1t will be some
time yet before those who know Gov.
Dillingham; will believe that he has
acted otherwise than perfectly fair in
this matter.

Letter From Ohio.

Comparatively speaking, Ohio as
one of the middle states, lying be
4 tween two of the largest rivers,is one
of the prettiest and mildest states il
the Union, and very desirable and
healthy country to live in. The eli
mate nearly all the year is very warm
and mild. We have no snow that
stays with us over As hours, and only
two of three inches falls at time.
The ground is seldom frozen more
than a week at time. We have a
| great deal of rain in the winter.
Cattle, horses, sheep and hogs are
kept in fields and fed daily, having
no shelter whatever. They are fur
nished with water by windmills most
ly, and their food consists of corn
stalks and hay. Straw is used eX-
tensively for making wrapping paper,
and is worth So ton. Corn is the
largest crop raised, and wheat is
next. Potatoes are not raised extern
sively. Wheat is sown about the
middle of Sept, and at this writing
is from four to six inches high.
The middle and western part of
the state is we'll adapted to fruit
raising. Peaches, pears, grapes and
apples are extensively raised, peaches
being the largest crop, and worth
from SO cents to 81 bushel. APP
piles are worth from 81 to Sl.50
barrel
Most of the state is quite level
grass grows thrifty and stout, and
haying is usually finished by the goth
of June, the wheat harvest following.
Columbus, the capital of the state,
is considered the second richest city
in the United States. Its population
in 1867, was 1926. Columbus is
great railway center, twenty-eight
railroads run in and out of the city,
Pan Handle being one of the largest
and most direct routes from New Y Yorz
to Cincinnati and Chicago.
We have churches of all denomina-
tions and good schools, Some of
our incest buildings are churches and
school buildings.
Wood is very scarce and coal and
coke are used extensively for fuel.
On March Sth, 1882, white men
from Pennsylvania and Virginia de-
scended upon the Moravian Indian
village of Gnadenhutten, on the Tus-
carawas River, land massacred the one
hundred Christian Indians living
there. Gnadenhutten is a German
word, meaning ''tents of grace" 1t
was named by the German misslona-
ries. But [ will let your readers do
their own thinking, and bid you adieu
for this time. b. S. d.

of them recovered, than would have
been the case if they could have been
brought directly to their homes from
the field.
With one or two incidents while at
the hospital, and l am done.
Well do | remember the morning
of April 18th, 1865, when the assas-
sination of Abraham Lincoln was re-
ceived at the hospital-the sadness
and sorrow of the hour. All the
wards were draped in mourning. All
the public and many of the private
buildings in and about Washington
wore the badge of sorrow; the ex-
element was intense; silence per-
vaded the city the boys in blue had
their usual freedom, but no citizens
were allowed to leave the city except
by rail or boat all the highways
were guarded by the veterans; thous-
ands upou thousands viewed the re-
mains as they lay in state; the city
was thronged with people who took
part in the funeral services. To-day,
with the soldier and common people,
there is reverence and sacredness
III the name of Abraham Lincoln,
which will, as the years go by, grow
deeper and holier. The largest and
grandest type, the best representa-
tive of the common people this coun-
try ever produced, his name will 90
down through the ages with increas-
ing luster as the great emancipation Of
American slavery, and the part he
took in putting down the rebellion.
There was soon to follow far diff
ferent scene. 1t was one of the
grandest and most pleasing to the
thought and sight of all the two great
army reviews-the army of the Poto-
mas and Sherman's Army-those
armies which had for four years borne
the hardships of the camp, the march
and the battlefield, with victory now
written in blood, as it were, upon
their banners, with light hearts and
smiling faces, to see them go march
ing, marching, marching by in close
columns, the conflict over, they soon
to receive their discharges and return
to their homes, was one of the hap
piest sights of my life.

in this country with cleaner or more
honorable character. Lincoln had
none of the small vices. He had
none of the greater ones. He stood
six feet four in his stockings. His
frame was gaunt and wiry. He had
a large head. His step was slow and
/ deliberate. In dress he was always
/ clean but never fashionable. In
manner he was cordial, impressing
one with his sincerity, rather than
with Chesterfeldian politeness. He
had dark gray eyes, that lighted up
with their own fire. He had a Ro-
man nose, a wide cut mouth, a dark,
almost swarthy complexion. His
smile was peculiarly winning and
sweet.
Though child of the border and
the companion of frontiersmen, Mr..
Lincoln never drank intoxicating
liquors, not even a glass of wine. He
never used tobacco-in any shape. He
could tell humorous stories by the
hour, but he never used profane Ian
guage. He never gambled. He
never wronged q man of a dollar.
He never brought the blush of shame
to woman. Such was "Honest Old
Abe Telegraph.

Sol Miller, of the Troy Chief, says:
"Oh, for an emetic; for a long finger to
run down TO the trigger of our throat;
for anything that will be a relief from
this eternal, internal nausea of Russell
Harrison and Mrs. McKee-what Russell
Harrison says and does, and what sort of a
hat he wore at inauguration: how Mrs.
Mckee dresses, what visit she makes and
the rot about her babies. We have no
doubt that Russell Harrison is nice
man; that Mrs. Mckee is handsome and
accomplished, and has pretty babies: but
great snort. they have not been elected
president and the public does not want
to have them dabbled into its face at
every turn. People are interested in the
president because of his position: not in
his children and grand children. The
American newspapers are becoming
more abject toadies than the British
court journal. To add TO the infiction,
it is said that Walker Blaine is to be
made assistant secretary of state. Then
