Notes from PRETTY Paoolot ana Fair Forss,


PAcoLET, Jsn. 17.-It has been some time
since ~ sent You ony news from our little
city Mr.. Editor; although it has not
been entirely my fault. rs 1 have brcu quite
busy and am now located at some distance
from Paco'et. 1 shall endeavor, however,
to write occasionally, especially as you say
you will forgive me for ceasing to b. an old
bachelor. Apropas of this desire to thank
my friend Il. W. j., and others for their
kind congratulations.
AS i am now u resident of Union. Comfy.
I feel that I can have something to say
| about county matters. The people in this
section (Fair Forcst) are considerably in-
terested in the matter of the vacancy in the
Legislature causel by the sad death of DR..
Little. Doubtless many able and worthy
! gentlemen will be spoken of for the position,
| and good material selected.
| Fair Forest is one of the plessantest
| ne eghborhools in which it has ever been my
lot to dwell and it is thriving section too.
One feature, which is peculiarly noticeable
in the kind aud hospitable eople about
here, is .heir disposition TO be ne ghborly.
and to devote themselves strictly and exclu-
sively to thvic own affairs. In this pro.
gressive age, when it is so common for peo-
| ple t. with to take entire charge of the
| affairs of others, aud make and alter even
their plans for life, without going through
the empty form of asking their opinion. or
"by your leave" it is refreshing 10 find that
that good old-fAshionod way of attending to
ones own affairs, which i, so strictly in
acc,rdapc. with justice, propriety and good
taste, is silt dominant in our land. II
affords me pleasure to say. that thcro are
comparatively few people in this world who
seem incinel to "run" the affairs of others
81 wftr Sc, some, who feel sc dsFpIy ihIsassts5
Sla,,. atf IN
thcir own in tho management of them.
