A business house in this city recently hired
team in an adjoining town for the use of
one Of their statesmen, and Afterwards sent

this letter from him. which was too good TO
keep:
Agreeable to your orders, hied me to
p on the early msrning train. l had
no trouble in finding the anatomy. I
thought it very fortunate for all parties
concerned that ii was the season of the year
when the festive crow had gone on his va
cation, for had it been otherwise | certainly
should not have dared TO venture outside the
village limits until after dark, when 1 was
certain that said bird had closed
his weary eyes for the night
He is not a brilliant looking animal, but
guess he is kind His color is certainly
admirable. Do you know if he has ever
been christened with q names If so,
ought to knox it, for being away from
home and among strangers, if called
by some other name, he may be
homesek. He takes very kindly to
nOarishment, ard alter meals lays him
self down and does look so comfortable that
it seems almost heathenish to request him
to arse. | really wish he was younger for
always when ! meet parties younger than
myself feel it my duty to take of my hat,
which will be quite inconvenient through the
cold weather.
am very fond of pets and l fear may
become so attached to him that the parting
will be terrible in the spring | shall try
and not let him get away with my affections
but you know we are susceptible to beauty,
and when that and elegance of form are
combined we are more liable to loose our
hearts. | feel as though hate to leave this
subject without expressing myself more
flu lily but my time is limited. Adieu."
