Again | am indebted to my friend,
Frank Scoville, Esq, of Corona, Cal,
for a box Of mighty fine oranges, re
celved here last Wednesday. While
the present, in itself, is a very ac-
ceptable one, the feeling behind it's
sending is peculiarly grateful to me.
Mr.. Scoville was, in the happy days
gone by, n resident of Irorton, and
an intimate neighbor and friend, and
I have never ceased to regret the
business necessity which impelled him
and his to depart from us. Since
then we have experienced the Chez
quered mutations of lite--have konwn
our sorrows and our joys~-but the re-
~membrance of the old days remains a
; pleasing contemplation. May many
, years still to come be good to my
friend!
