Ho, now fol. Toledo, 113 miles distant; sa goodand plsssnt ride ina parlor car s my hdnd was . littls eatof sorts, but vithihe sssy sing3s ehair and easy move of ths carl came out tali right by the time I landed tt Toledo. Here I was met, as per. notice, and conveyed. by horse power, seven miles into the coun- try; pleasant ride indeed. Here resid- ed my cousins. Harvey Kellogg and his family. 1snsA the latch string ont, and right hearty welcome. Here I spent my seoosa Sunday. the 18th day from home; spent the day by attending funeral, sesns threee mil4s distant,' of which my cousin was one of the bearers.
 We'll, Monday morning came and I accepted an invitation to take 8 ride about town, and little out of it as for that matter. Here should judge peace and plenty must abound, for here were great fields of wheat stretching away on either side as we passed along mile after mile, with oats, corn, and grass the best of their kind that had seen be- fore. Great fields of potatoes followed suit, with cabbages not few, the sight of which as we passed along for many miles vas enough to make horse laugh. Here market gardening is carried on quite extensively. The German women and others go out from Toledo to work in the fields, and especially in the great gardens. It was something new for 8 Yankee to see, but it showed courage and will to do whatever their hands could find to do.
 | We visited the State Institute for the Insane, lately established in the town | of Adams, several miles from Toledo, A grand affair it Is; composed of 40 or more buildings all built of brick, in modern style and beautifully situated. It is an imposing village of itself. The inmates are placed in different buildings according to the degrees of their insans ity-a inst way should judge. The state has three other asylums. Good for Ohio. Af
 | The next place we visited was the new county home for orphan children, . mile pr more further on. Some fine buildings have just been erected, and business commenced by bringing in the orphans of the county. The gentleman in charge kindly escorted us through the buildings and showed us how they provided for their unfortunates. could but remark that they were pro- vided with better house than I ever possessed, and I hoped they would some day appreciate it.
 We'll, I cannot stop to tell all that I sew or aeard in this goodly land. We turned our steps homeward and found our dinner awaiting us; after which we had time to count the chickens and look about and see what our cousin had been about for the last fifty years. He left the land of Canaan in 1887 for this wild erness world, and he took up his abode here in a..log house but now he resides in good brick one. Then it was all woods about him, but now he can look out upon his broad fields of wheat and all other kinds of goodies, such as apples, pears, cherries, strawberries this year by the bushel, and raspberries not a few etc.
 We'll, I cannot dwell too long in one place for fear of the waste basket. The time ct last arrived to depart and the good bye" was given and was return ed to Toledo and seen aboard the cars. and the God bless you" was given. .and I was soon on my way to Michigan. from which you may hear from me again. w.. a.M.
