Sixty Years Ago, ls49.

Indian summer still continues. For
six or seven weeks past, the weather
has been far more pleasant than is us
ual at this season of the year. With
the exception of few frosty nights
and one or two chilly days, we have
had nothing as yet to remind US that
winter is approaching,
We received few days since, as a
present from Jos. Van Metre, Esq, as
fine specimen of the porker family as
our eyes have rested upon for many a
day, which, together with turkey
that fortunately came within our reach,
enabled us to fare as sumptuously for
a short time as often falls to the lot Of
a man of letters.
The partnership heretofore existing
between Farley Eaton and M. Nj. Goth
