 Saturday morning, June z, Mrs G. s. Plumley, with her mother, Mrs Fisher, and Miss Louise Plumley, started for Amherst, Mass. The start was made un. der the most favorable circumstances In spite of the threatening aspect of Fri day night, by 0 q m, Saturday, the wealth CT was almost perfect; Mrs Plumley was feeling unusually we'll and cheerful, while q no small factor in her favor was the fact that the express train leaving Bridgeport for Springfield at 10 32 a m stopped at Southport to take Mrs Plum ley aboard. The ride from the Hill to the station did not especially fatigue her. Moreover, we have been informed that the ride on the cars, followed by five mile carriage drive from Northampton to Amherst, did not unduly exhaust her; :; nay, rather, after good nights rest, she felt decidedly better. We hope Mrs. Plum ley, during her Summers stay in the Hampshire hills, will find what has long seemed to elude her grasp-her health. She will probably remain at the home of her daughter, Mrs Burroughs, until Oe- tober.
