and that in "the laud of tholiereafter," the
comrades of the 50th would imeet in a re
union that would be eternal, and where all

OBITUABY.
ELISHA BLACKMAN, of Pittston, Pa., died at
the residence of his son in that place,-on
Thursday, Oct. 0. 1881, at the advanced age
of 91 years.. The deceased was a brother of
the late Col. Franklin Blackman. of Horn
brook, and an uncle of George W. Blackman,
our present Prothonotary. He came with his
parents in his boyhood to the Bliesheqoin
valley in this county, and resided there until
maturity. He has many relatives in this
county, as the Blackmails; Horton, etc. He
settled many years ,incest Pittston, where ho
maintained an upright and exemplary life.
Ho was an ardent adherent of the Methodist
faith, and maintained a high standing as an
influential and useful member of the Metho
dist Church at Pittston. Ho was a purely
moral and conscientious. man who exerted
during .his whole life all his influence for
good.
Mr. BLACKMAN, for several years, was a fre
quent correspondent of the REPUBLICAN over
the l initials "E. Lk" 'For the past year hie
health has been so poor' that lie has not writ

you approach the town it is very hilly 'and

White Nall is situated on the shore of Lake
Champlain, but it does not look much like a
Lake here, more like a river; it is very
crooked for about 20 miles north where we
come to' the large body of water.
Population of White Hall is 4,822, it hu 8
hotels and as soapy public halls.
Tioandaroga is another place along the
shore with its surrounding hills; it reminds
me of my home on theiliradfordbills„ as Gold

"Whoeer I roam. vhsiever rosinia go see,
My heart untraveled fondly turns to thee I
My home, my kindred the tie that hindi our

Crown Point is' a few miles out "near =the
mountains. On returning we can can see up
and down the Lakefor many mites, but we
will take our coarse up the Lake abouti 14
miles, and we come to Poit Henry, situated
along the Lake opposite the Old Wench Fort,
we went over•to see it. quite a romantic look

the .old oak tree is towering its head the same
as when the Indians tied Gen. Putman to it,
and then threw their tomahawki at him.
What a change in our national affairs,' In

I was up to a place called Mineville, about
6 miles west of Port Henry and went thrungh
the t , iron works. Mr. Telt the Superinten
dent invited me to go down into the • mines
with him, I accepted his invitation and we
started for a trip of 300 feet, .it looked rather
dubious I tell you, when we started down in
the car, but I thoughtl was just as safe he,
so I bid farewell to every fear and started for
thh lower regions, but we arrived back all safe
and sound, and started for Plattsbnrg thence,

to Keysville. I ,
This pleasant Sabbath afternoon, just after
returning from Church, and having pariaken
of a goodly portion of chicken pie fordinner, I
am interested in gazing upon the
.peaks 'of .
the Adirondaco Mountain, especially the one .
they call old "White Face," over thirteen,
thousand feet akar° the sea level just, this
side of where "John Brown's body lies moul
dering in the grave." There are a good many
people visit his grave, it is a place of quite
'renown, as it memorizes this venerable mar
tyr..
I had the pleasure of visiting the Ausable
Chasm. It is romantic' indeed something

the city people to come and spend the sum
per, is about five miles from the railroad
'station, and the stages come in full to over
flowing, seats on the top, and many ride up
there,
.any way to get a seat. They have 4
horses on' the most of them and it is quite a
sight to see them come in. Hero we see the
pleasant side of every one one. If it were
not for the outlines of the face one might
think there was no sorrow, but alas! the face
will betray the inner Soul, happy is ; the one
that can keep their minds buoiant 'and keep
all sorrows ender his feet,"for when ono fee Is
happy there are no outlines marked. On
leaving them all to their happy enjoyment,
I wended my way to Plattsburg, where at
this writing, Sept. 4th, 1881, wo are haiing
refreshing. showers, while I see by your writ
ing you are suffering for the want of rain.
We could spare some of the shoviers hero and
the community would bo just as weU satisfied
and go on their way rejoiCing the same as
they do now and" singing "John Brown's
body lies mouldering in the grave." But
notlik9, , g have I learned about his widow as
yet. She may be in some foreign clime
mourning away her life's shrouded memories,
but at least I hope she is enjoying life wher
ever she may be. ' ,
September 28th, I left Platteburg and went
up to Moor's, and in traveling along between
the Lake and these towering Mom:Rains, there
is no description that I can portray that will
give you an adequate idea of them. There
is no place with you that I can compare them
to; they are peculiar to themselves, so grand
in appearance, so lofty in height; 04 majes
tic in form, that I am lost in wonder and
praise to an Almighty power who formed the
Earth and the planetary system and causes
them to move 'in their course. I have mow

shining glOri sly, and that there was a pros
pectoti of a fine y before them, the "pic-nic"
came to mind again, but was speedily dis-
rnisiod as entirely too much of an aiveastlii
to engross their thoughts; but as they lin-
gered over their delicious coffee, some one
mentioned the tantalizing subject, and they
could not help expressing their regret at be
ing unable to go, when the good wife with
wonderful generosity, , said she would lend
them her husband for the day. and she and
her little boy would accompany them for
propriety's sake, and they could go as happy
and gay as the gayest. What more could
they ask? The good man looked rather
doubtful at first, as. business cares must re
ceive 'attention; but what man is able to
withstand the perinsaire eloquence of two
mai females, aided , and cneourand .by his
wife ?
On looking at their watches they saw that
it was eight o'clock; the time proposed for
starting, and with all possible haste they com
menced to get ready for the day's enjoyment.
• The proposed route was to visit the Poor
House in the morning, awl spend the res t of
the day at the Lake, but as it was late when
they' started, they thonnght it host to pro
ceed diricily to the Lake and visit that on
the return trip. They . arrived at the Lake
abontil o'clock,. and found a nice_ little com
pany there who looked vary much surprised
at seeing them. but welconied them in a
oheerful manner. After a good dinner they
securrid boats and were soon gliding over
•the beautiful little Lake, occasionally finding
a lovely Illy blossom, or gomething new and
wonderful among the variety of aquatic
plants, around• the edge of the Lake. Un
mistakable signs of a shower beian to show
themselves, and they were compelled to re
turn to laird, where they arrived just in time,
though in rather Ungraceful haste, to gain
the • shelter of the •'plc-nio house" where
they spent an hOnr in social conversstiond
singing, keeping time to the. Pleasant patter
of the rain. After the shower how lovely it
Was 1 Everything looked so clean and fresh,
and the Lake so smooth and glassy, they
longed to spend the remainder of the day
upon its pure surface, but being warned that
if they reached the Poor House before it was
too late to gain admission, they must away,
they bade the rest a reluctant "Good Bye,"
and prepared for their return. After a pleas
ant ride of half an hour they reached the
building and were kindly escorted through
the' the rooms, and shown the admirable
manner in which it is kept, by Mr. Ferguson,
the'gentlemaniy Superintendent. They felt
much pity and synipathy for some of the poor
unfortunates, but also felt very t'glad that
they were receiving such good care and at
tention; and that everything was being done
as much as possible to make this substituted
home as near the reality as possible.
After a pleasant ride they arrived home a
a little after dark, well pleased with their
journey, find their first visit to Mountain
Lake. • , E. L. B.

A x OPEN LETTER. .
J. W. Irvine, Liberty artier; Bradford
qa. Pa,—Counly Agin! for the Syracuse
CM ted Plow:
Sra—Though personally not acquainted, I
recognize in you a.competitor in trade in the
sale of Chilled Plows. Yon represent the
"Syracuse,"'l the."Wiard." I have been sell
ing the latter for Ave years, and, conscien
tiously, have represented it to farmers "as
the best Chilled Piet, in the market," and so
believe it to be to-day. If I am wrong in this,
I am ready to be convinced to the - contrary.
The Syracuse Chilled Plow was first exhib
ited at our Bradford County Agricultural Fair
in 1878. Four times has It taken the Diploma
over the Wiard at our County Fairs; but with-
out a single test trial. These diplomas were
granted, I think, because of en perior "dip/o
macy" upon the part of the exhibit Ors. 'Four
times in succession the Wiud Plow has had
to take a back seat at our last four annual
feint; yet I have had good reasons to believe.
that the Wiard was a much superior_plow.
At our late fair I thought that it was high
time that the Ellacusit and other Chilled
plows i ehonld demonatrate their claims to
superiority by actual and fair working trials
In the field in , a variety of soils and under the
varioturconditions that our farmers meet with
continually. Therefore I appealed frdm the
decision of the judges and demanded 'a fair
field trial at the hands of the Bradford County
Agricultural Society.
This was granted, and the trial set to take
place upon the farm of . 0. H. Fox, in Towan
da toniship, on Friday, Oct. 21st, at 1 o'clock
p, at., and, if necessary, upon other lands in
that vicinity; so as to obtain.the desired vari.
eties of ground to plough.
You have 'claimed, I am informed; that the
Syractise Chilled Plow was si chilled steel plow,
and so entered it at Our fair. I ask of you
that you make this cialm good at our trial by
actual demonstratian; or, acknowledge that
you have been mistaken. I claim that the
Syracuse Chilled Plow mold board; practically
is not steel in any sense; and 'calling it a steel
plow by the manufacturers is intended to de=
ceive the farmer. Please come to the trial
prepared to do your best. Bring extra plows,
or mold boards, and I will give you $5O if you
can show, by actual working under the black?
„ smith's hammer, that the SpracusePlow mold
board.is steel, or, that it has any steel in it.
The Oliver and other chilled plows are, also,
invited to take part in said test trial. .
All compotierplows should be entered•for
trial at the &crate:ea office in Towanda, on
or before the 20th day of October.

.Respectfully Yours,
R. M. WELLra.

bled round a bit ekeered out of party nigh all
my senses, till I got back into my seat again.
The next thing I did was to look round for
my Mends. flakes a massy; they wasn't
nowhere, and I sot up an orful screech, thin k
in as how they'd got blowed up. All the
people beginned to look to see what was
ailieme rtold them my friends were a leav'-
me,,to git smashed up along with the seats, .
- and stovea and things, like we bear tell of in
some of them heartrandin railroad accidents.
Well back my friends come with some more
of their binds and tuck their seats "gin, a
lookin. as if they didn't know what on . airth
to do next, twsn't long, howeomever, afore
we all got settled Inoue places just as we was
at Startin: WO got a little used to the iron
critter's way by and by,and proceeded rather
better in keepin' our kirzidge up, and begun
to look round a bit, I'd got a seat close to the
winder, and thought I'd take a. look at what
was to be seen ontetde the keere,land o'
goshen; Mr. Editor, just imagine, if you can,
how really s'prised I was to see all them e're
. big houses, trees and crooked fences a gittin'
up and comin' along with us;. peered to me
someh me they went along jist as
. amazin'
fast as the keers theirselves. tlt was the fast
time in all my hall life that I ever saw the
like o' that. We went
.a tearin' along over
so.no etch awful aleery-looking places some
times, ana wnen i saw 'am art'er we'a went
by, my sakesl but wasn't 4 feeling upset?
but on we went at a s'prisin' rate, and all to
onct we pored to ran rightinto the middle of
the night, It's a rale fact. Mr: Editor, and
all yer good natured people, that-'it got as
dark all in a minit as the inside of yer brigest
pocket, and we - cot:aril one of us see the first
:thing. I felt round and ' , ketched a holt o'
somethin', andl a bold'in on as tight is ever
I could and feeling mighty queer, bat tryin
to keep still, coaxing my kerridge up at the
same time, 'Twantoncire'ut e few mints, how
somever4 afore we rode out v into daytime
ag'in, and there was the sun a shin'in, away
jist as if nothin' Wit happcded at all. I looked
around as soon as I'd , got done Winkle at the
sunshine and bless me, whet do you. think;
why I was, a holdin' onto 'ionic one:s gold
watch. It didn't take me long to let , go of it,
you may be sure, somebody gild we'd bin a
going through a funnel. Who'ever heard tel
of a keen goin' through a funnel, what's made
to pour lasses .and vinegaV and etch things ,
through; nonsense, one old man settin clod
by asked me if I "thought I'd got to China
seein' as how it's night there when it's day
time here." We got back'again' mighty sad
den, thene-eaid I and then he laded and tuck
to readin'of his book.
Well, all things has to fetch up to an end
some time or other, and by and by the keers
run themselves into a grande, long ibilding, I
sod to my friends is that-all the farther we're
a gel", we haint been much more'n half a
day ecrunmin"twant worth payin so much
money for. Fact if of I'd knowed New York
walla% only half a day's lourney, I think' I'd
feud as lief have hitched up my black poney,
and drivin myself in. •
Well, the next thing was to git out of the
keers cross , the ferry ;and hunt up a bordin
place, bein' ga i n was a gittin' party welt on
towards nice. My friends laid they rather
feared we couldnt find our cousins, nor any of
the folks what .we knewed, quite as handy
after lamplight is if we waited till mornin';
and so we precluded the beet thing we could
do under the consisting circumstances was
to go to some boardinthouse, where folks can
stay even if they are strangers, providiu' they
pay for what they gii. •
By and by the, boat reached the New York
City warfe, and there was the same shovin'
and punkin, and squeezing, there alters is on
slob ockashions. We got into a kirrige, and
was - dryly to Earls hotel on the corner of
Canall and Centre street, I told my friends I
did not know how ta'put on stile and' my
Mods Wiled me when:ll didn'tlnow nothin' I
musn't let anybody know but what I know all
about it. ,They Bayed that I most make the
world beleeve I am person of considerable
konsequence„ and that is all I will have to do.
If yer don't know jist st first what folkes is
talkin about, or what's what, jist keep still,
use yen eyes and ears, and you'll find out a
heap in a very , little while, only be very keer
fal, and dont dispose your own ignorance. I
thought that was puity good device, and dis
solved to take it and act on it to the best of
my debility. I was ready too, for anything
what would help me to git a foothold in this
'ere fashonable world what I am trying so
desprit hard to lot the hang of, and so, but
oh t dearienie, I'm gittin' rale navies like,
writii' so long. Please wale for the rest
'till next time. Respectabley,
