OF poor Maine farmer, very rich
man and apparently conscientious in
all that he does. He is charged with
insincerity, but the charge usually
comes from those upon whose toes he
has stepped. His politics have cost him
a vast amount OF money, the loss Of
all his society friends and the enmity
OF all the business world OF the city.
He is not an educated man, reads
speeches of poor stock written by q paid

be an administration which will make

the practice of his profession in the
adjoining county of Northampton.
He moved to the city OF New York in
1869, and became sanitary inspector
in connection with the Board of
Health there. He is @ member of the
Virginia State Medical Society, and
is the author of several papers that
have been published in the best
medical journals of the country, ex-
panding his professional reputation
from the Eastern Shore of Virginia
into larger fields of fame.
DR.. LeCato is gentleman of excep-
tional intelligence and accomplish
ments outside of his profession, as
well as within it. He has fine literary
attachments and has travelled in
foreign lands. He is apparently mid
die aged. with a most attractive face,
and manner and bearing that
denote the we'll bred, well poised
gentleman.
No man in the Senate of Virginia
is more esteemed in that fine body Of
representative Virginians. He is q
stroug, clear thinker, and when he
speaks he does so with fluency, force,
and effect. In attention to the in
terests of his constituency no senator
excels him. He is watchful, prompt,
and always ready to promote or pro
tect the interests of the Eastern
Shore. The Doctor is an acknowl.
enged authority on the oyster ques-
ton, and his large information de-
rived from experience, his business,
his accuracy of statement, his con-
sentative tone, and his calm coun-
sells must impress his opinion strong
ly upon his associates in the Senate.
1t may be added, that DR.. LIE" alto,
attractive to the ladies as he must be,
has been a widower for twenty years.

LETTERS From Pastors.

DEAR ENTERPRIsE:-If have been
silent while other pastors published
their poundings, it is not because we
have not had such visitations. Grippe
and the duties it caused to ac-
cumulate, have Kindred an earlier
mention of continuous kindness on the
part of my parishionels. My circuit
is new one, comprising Guilford,
Woodbury., and st. Thomas
churches a few brave spirits pro-
jected and built parsonage at
Bloxom. On Friday, December 18th,
with paint aud plastering scarcely
dry, the new, empty house gave no
token of the magical change about
to take place. On Saturday the Goth,
we arrived to find the debris removed,
the marks of carpenters, plasterers,
painters obliterated, the house
furnished, fires burning, dinner
ready" and host of busy, warm
hearted parishioners to welcome us,
and to enjoy with us the bountiful
meal in our new home. In furnishing
the parsonage, they included stores
for the pantry, and they are still
keeping the pantry in mind. Their
remembrance eliminated on Friday
night, the 3Oth ultimo, when men,
bers of Gullford church and our
citizens of Bloxom, massed to the
number OF hundred, surprised us,
took charge of all our lower rooms,
and severely tested the strength of
an oak extension table, until it over
flowed and it's surplus had to be
stored elsewhere. To enumerate
supplies,-hams, sugar, coffee, &c,
would take up too much space, and
perhaps be premature, for the end
is not reached. Just now had to
stop this pencil to receive large
sack of choice hams and Irish
potatoes. The question now is, how
much longer can this be endured,
how much pounding can be borne
blythe dear people? Of course we
can stand it in any measure and dura-
ton. An old brother, after telling
another minister of a sermon that he
had recently preached, and that he
occupied three hours in delivering,
was asked if he were not tired after
preaching so long. He replied:
Tired? Not bit Man, was fresh
as a rose. Could have preached
three hours longer. But somehow
the people seemed to give out before
I did. 1 am very near sighted, and
kept my eyes on my manuscript
while preaching. After 1 had
preached several hours, the sexton
came up the pulpit steps and said,
please sir, all the people have gone
home long ago, am compelled to
leave, when you Fl ish your sermon
and come out, will you please lock
the door, Tired? Man, no. 1t was
not but the people that couldn't
stand itr' Not long ago, Will
Carleton wrote poem on the pound
ing of New England pastor. After
the guests were gone, the old pastor
knelt with his family, and in sub
stance prayed: "From all poundings
by rarishioners, Good Lord deliver
us" Poor man. If he could have
seen the merry young folks in parlor
and hall, the more sedate but equally
bright spirits thronging the other
