 ON THE TRAIN, April 6, 1891.
 My notes will be written on red or blue paper, according to my moods and experi snoes. I start, of course, with a red paper, the ride to the depot with Will being pleasant hoped not to use blue one at all, or fol long time at least. But how disappoint ments do crowd upon one! At the town agent's office there was no town agent hence no check; the second paper, there fore, must be blue.
 Town agent very good-natured when found, which Iatones for his remissness Check is forthcoming, and Dr. Smith starts at 1.25 pm for Williamantic, Put nam, and Worcester, ss free ticket.
 Another occasion for blue. Started without cuffs must get some at Worces ter {: Another late for dinner, and have te make up with light lunch.
 But now comes the red again! Al Montowek, discover in the brakeman { Mason of Wooster Lodge, named Bates, at whose "raising' was present with deal old Captain Neal. Brother Bates remem bers [Blue for what has passed, not fo, the present.l Captain Neal, and is of tho greatest assistance in helping me pick ou time tables, &c. A little below Niddlefeld x1, ToIo B. oS which runs thro' Woodbride, just below Dr. Barker's. It seems string from home! Cross the Connecticut river 8 Middletown, and at Portland see nothing but brown stone. In fact, the name O. the Portland ferry-boat is 'sBrown-Stone. Caught glimpse of Insane hospital as VI left Portland.
 Very hungry. Wish had some O "Bobble's" beefsteak with lemon ant greens. Some snow now, tho less thai there was awhile ago.. Brother Rates say it will increase rapidly soon.
 At Cobalt is quite large granite quarry At the cut just before East Hampton i'm mense icicles hang from the rocks. East Hampton is noted for it's horse which do not fear locomotive, its foreig1 workmen, and immense saw-logs. 'Lyman's viaduct," 137 feet high, o iron trestle- work, comes next. A locomo tive ran off the track here few days ago and just hung, balanced on the edge. En gineer and fireman had narrow escape It is said that their weight 2 bed sheet would have been sufficient to have topple, ! it over into the abyss. As it was, no ont | was hurt. The viaduct does not seem s' shaky as many places on the roads in Ney York, for all it's great height. (Oh! for | Welsh rarebit!.
 Chestnut Hill is so called because ther | is sand-bank there without any chestnu | trees; C'Lucus a non lucendo'o. Mex l comes Willimantic, where I change flo l Putnam and lose my friend and brother ! Bates. Also shall not wait over at Put nam as I intended, as it will make me to late at Worcester to hunt up friends and Masonic lodge.
 At Willimantic changed for Putnam Got two hard sandwiches of the regula railroad variety; two-t thirds fat, one-thir gristle, no butter and no mustard. We SO anxious for the sandwiches that lei ter and my ticket on the counter. Wer back for them, and found man and tw waiter-girls enjoying the letter. Seize both (the book and ticket) and ran for m train. Am now on the New York and Ne England road, which runs five trains, eve if they are not safe.

 4:3O-Have changed for the Norwich an Worcester division, way up in the N. l corner of the state. Putnam had bi shoe factory, and the funniest reservoir ever saw. It is nothing but big, roun iron stand, like an enormous hogshead, ,an stands up, higher and bigger than hous on the top of high hill. There is wal around the top of it, like the one c Terrapin tower at Niagara. Would ha, liked to climb it.
 Am now in Massachusetts. Auburn is pretty, hilly town. Snow nearly a fot deep in the woods, but there are bal places in the open country. A blame profane wretch back of me telling all sor of dirt, and amusing every one by his col ceited wickedness Entering Worceste which means dinner, 5:30 p. m.
