MY MAU. CHILIntEIi : It sc . ems along
time since we left you; as we have .
traveled so many miles. We. are now
at Richmond, as you see by this head
ing. lam going to commence at the
beginning of our route and tell you
all the things of interest a's 'far as we
have gone; so you will have the bene
fit. We deft Elmira -at 8.40. Much
against my own wishes, we took a
sleeping car, and for once I can say
that I rested well. We arrived at.
Baltimore at hall-past nine; took our
baggage to the boat and procured
state-rooms, and - then went to the
Eutaw House. But I forgot to say
that we. breakfasted on the chicken,
crackers, &c., that were so nicely put
up by my dear little daughters. Re
turning to the hotel, I sat down in
the parlor. Baltimore is called the
" city of Monuments." We did. not
have,time to go . around to see the
different. ones, as the boat left at four,
and we bad not sufficient time. There
was a funeral at the house--a bride.
She was dressed in her bridal Areas,
white satin, orange 'blossoms and
flowers in great profusion, white
gloves, short sleeves, and her hair
dressed very elaborately ; but her face
had a, painful lbok. She was only
twenty-one, but she looked as if she
might h ve been thirty. The casket
was beautiful, the whole top being of
glass and decorated with natural flow
ers, so beautiful! A great number
of people called to look 'at the re
mains,
and we were shown in
by a little boy. But it glade me feel
as though it was a great display—a
decking out of a lump of lifeless clay;
and 'could not but wonder if she was
a Christian—if she loved Jesus? We
have in many things to remind us of
the shortness of -life, we ought always
to be prepared. I hope' my little
dears will remember to pray ever y
day, th.at we may be spared to each
other, and thank God for the many
mercies He has given us.
At four we went on board -the
steamer Rennebeck. 'Very few • pas
sengers, not over twenty. The after
noon was delightful. We sat out on
deck until sundown, saw the forts
along the river, and the lighthouses
looked like stars dotting the shore.
We retired-early and rested well, so, :
that papa. felt better it the morning.
We were up early,' saw the sun rise
just as we were entering the York!
river. Look on the map and trace
our,course as we write you, and it
will make it more interesting to you.
We saw Yorktown on the left—a town
long finished. Only a few old houses,
but we could see the earth-works that
-had suffered during the wars. The
first goods brought to Now York were
landed at YOrktown. In the Revo
lution. it was a great point of interest,
and iu the war of 1812, and also dur
ing the Rebellion.
The captain was a fat, jolly man,
and very attentive to us ; invited us
to go up into the pilot-house so we
could see better.
The York river is famous for. its
oysters. All along the river the farms
are Staked out—farms under water.
They are plan ed in the sprinn , and
in the fall they begin to gathoPthem.
Men were out in small boats, with a
sort of rake, gathering them. It is
estimated that four hundred thousand
bushels ere gathered annually from
these beds. They are superior in Sa
vor to those We get.
The nest placewe landed was out
in the middle of the river. All kinds
of groceries were put out on a land
ing, and then taken in small boats to
the shore.
We next landed at West Point, and
I expected to see a town ; but we saw
'nothing but a train of cars at the de
pot. We bade the captain adieu, and
left for Richmond about half-past ten.
'The first place we sawn was the house
of General Henry Lee, a very pretty
brown house on the Famunkey river,
on the ground where the "White
House staml—the home of the great
Rebel General Lee—and occupied by
the Union officers and burned. The
country from there to Richmond was
all covered by our armies. .The "Sev
en Fines," "Fair. Oaks," Stc.; were
fought on this.ground, and it !coke
as though armies had swept over the
country, it is so desolate ; occasion
ally a house, but no fences or barns.
Next we come to Richmond, and the
first thing that meets my 'eyes, al
most, after getting.into, the,.ear,riap,e,
is a. large brick tuilding`with &god
uludows boarded up, no glans, - and

of the city and country around. We
saw the room of the Senate, which is
now the Conrt of Appeals ; also the
room where the ordmance of seces
sion was passed, and the Senate cham
ber of the Confederacy, the desks,
with all the names still on, as the bo
gus confederacy left them. It looked
dark and desolate. •
We viewed the church where Davis

Lee's surrender, and his residence;. a

MANSFIELD.
Me. ALVORD:—Occasionally read
ing your excellent .paper, the WPM
TIM, and noticing that you have cor
respondents in all the most import
ant places in Bradford county, each
one giving some account of their ;lo
cality, the thought oceurredthat per
haps you would be willing to let your
numerous readers know that there
are some plaCes outside the bounda
ries of Bradford. Well, theretertain
ly is a place called Mansfield, a village
containing some eight hundred in
habitants. It• is situated in the val
ley of the Tioga river, on the Corning
and Blossbnrg Railroad; ten miles
north of the latter place. It isbeliev
ed that this place is more eligibly
situated and possesSes greater facili
ties for manufacturing purposes than
any other locality in the county; be
ing near the coal mines wh•re that
article can be obtained as cheap ,fts.
any=where in the State. All that ' is
wanted is capital and energy to make l i
this place what it should be, what it
will be'eventually.
Now to let it be known the people
are doing something here I will give
some account of what we have. in the
buSiness lino. And first, a Furnace
where a first rate quality of iron is
made from ore obtained in the neigh
boring hills; then a grist 'and saw
mill, With machinery for Sawing shin
gles and lath; a planing mill; sash,
&for and blind factory; a large facto
ry for making alt kinds of cabinet
work; three wagon shops; the same
number • of blacksmith shops; two
shoe shops, one tannery, one harness
shop, two tin shops, one jeweler shop,
two milliner shops, five dry goods
stores, one drug and bookstore, with
the Post Office in the same building,
where six mails are received daily;
and to end this list we have four gro
cers and one.. hardware store; then
we have two good church buildings,
one Methodist and one Baptist, and
an Episcopal church being built
which willbe finished next summer.
But the crowning glory of the
place is our schools, which are not ex
celled by any institutions of the kind
in the State. The State Normal
School, a spacious brick building lo
cated on an eminence from which an
extensive view is had of tha beautiful
valley of the Tioga and the surround
ing most delightful prospect.
The school is admirably conducted
by Prof. Verrill as Principal, assisted
by an efficient corps of teachers, and
large as the building is it is crowded
to its utmost capacity with students.
We need some Cornell, Vassar, or
Benjamin to immortalize his name by
contributing to the erection of anoth
er building. ; In addition to this: we
have what every Pennsylvanian
should feel proud ef,that ie, 4 he school
for the soldiers orphans,well conduct
ed undbr the control of Prot Allen.
This is•also - well filled with a, bright
lot of boys and girls. And last, our
common or preparatory school, in a
commodious buildipg with two corn
petent teachers. • _ .
' From all . this it can be plainlyseen
that'for educational facilities but few
places can c?zupare with Mansfield:
And farther for the benefit of_ our
schools the Legislature has pwised an
act prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors within
two miles_ of the Normid
And now as to our professional 'men
it is supposed that the Dumber is
sufficiently large. We have five Doc
tors, iota' Lawyers, four Preachers in
the village and two just outside, with
others who preach here occasionally:
So it is evident there is not much of
an opening for professional men here,
butfor all others there is. plenty of
room and a good chance especially
for those Who have children to edu
cate:.
We have a 1 been warmly engaged
remonstrating against the formation
of. A now county out this and other
counties:
_We wish the noble Re
piablican counties of llradford and
.Tioga to remain as they arnuithOnt

A a an instance fonder we may
mention . temperauce lectures,, when
delivered by men in wheal' the pia?

form: of 1832 and 1883 Rev..ThOs. P
Hunt lectured all .through the east
ern and ,middle States, and . by -, his
earnest eloquence and wit, the tide
.of ' intem'perance was rolled back;
thonsands signed the pledge, andthe
people were' awakened - to a: sense of
their clanger. • In later years John , B.
Goff, and others have taken the plat
form against drunkentlese and the
ram traffic. Of those measures which
proved damaging to the Cause they
were intended to promote, we men
tion the passage of 'prehibiterylaws
while Fuslie sentiment i s not' up to the
point of .e..ecuting - them. In :nearly
every reform there are wild enthusi- ,
asts who can never see the relation
between effect and cause. They want
to lie - deriiii4 - Somethilig,' but - Ao - ritit
correctly read resrdta. Enthusiasm
is a goOd thing,'but it should be guid
ed by reason and a 'sound under
standing. The crusaders were enthu
siastic, but after almost deporditing
central Europe—during a •cuimpaign
of two hundred years, and after Ica,-
ing the bones of over two millions; of
votaries to whiten on. a foreign sail,
the infidel. Turk still held sway. over
the Holy Land. They had areal, but
not' aebording to knowlege... - And we
do not desire that such history shall
"repeat itself in our temperance cru
sades. .Let us make sure steps, tho'
We may have to wait for the desired
results. .Men cannot be legislated in
, to .morality—they must be educated
1 into it. And we take this to . bo the
true•work of the reformer--to educate.
This is the very foundation -upon
which our temperance t hi must
be built, if we ever expect top fit
cop-stone upon it with shouts of 1
"mice' unto it, grace unto it."
During the past few years' the idea
has been prevalent that secret soci
eties could so influence legisiation as
to give us a general prohibitory law,.
and then , the trork would be _ done.
But does not all history teach us that
wherever we have attempted to legis
late rather than to educate, the sun
has gone back open the. dial plate.
The I».eisrirt populdf - delusion seems to
be the 3d, or tenipeeance party move
ment. The National— emperance
Convention, which met • Chicago in
ri f
September, declared in avor of it.
_lllinois, lowa and

~ ditto. New -
York is now organizing such A party.
Maine tried the experiment last fall
and drew , off five thousand Republi

and Wyoming Good Templar meeting
in November at Tunkhannock, "re
solved' for .a 3d party. Our' Wyo

letter." They, by not executing the
laws they hare, beget a disrespect
and. onteuirotfor any atd all
This we call ea.:eating the wrong tcay.
Now, to insure success, it is . neces
sary that we, as temperance reform
ers, should fully comprehend the "sit-
nation." Then there must be concert
of action. There must be no cross
firing, for we have no force which we
can afford, -to throw away. There
must be a Well defined idea of what is
to do and hrnvjo do it Prohibition is
onr "objective point." What road
shall we take to g,et there ? Shall we
"prohibit," and risk everything in the
battle of "executing" such a law ? Or
shall we "prohibit" only so fast as
the public, conscience endorses it?
We say bring our moral artillery to
bear upon the public conscience un
til we create a sentiment that favors
prohibition. To do this" we must
train the physical, mental and moral
nature,
tites and propensities defile the phys
ical man. Correct these habits and
evil tendenciei in youth, develop his
mental capacities, and so instruct him
morally as that he shall feel the obli
gation tonbey Nature's laws, and yon
have "the coming man—one who
would no more desire to chink than
to kill, or bear false witness. We
must know the physical laws of . our
being before we can obey. WO mud,
have respect for God's laws wherever
found: and must comprehend _ the
great truth that physical laws are
God's law, and are are as binding up
on us as morat laws. • A , man,. or a
community, or a State thus educated
would as soon think of stealing, as of
getting drunk. Temperance laws
would- then enforce themselves.
Is this Utopian? Not at all. -We

have for years been a prohibitory law

In the spring of 1841, I was called
to Jackson, Alabama, to attend court
having' been • engaged to defend_ a
young man who had been accused of
robbing the mail. _ I arrived early in
the morning; and immediately had a
long confernee with my client. The
stolen mail bag bad. been recovered,
as well as the letters from which
money had been rifled. These letters ,
were given me for examination, and
I returned them - to the prosecuting
attorney. Having got through my
private preliminaries about noon,
and as the case would not come off
before the next day, I went into!,
court in the afternoon to see what
Was goin g. on.
The first case that came up was
one of theft, and the prisoner was a
young girl not: more than seventeen
years of age, named Elizabeth Mad
worth. She . was very , pretty, and
bore that mild, innocent look which
.you seldom find in a culprit. She
had been weeping profusely, but as
she found so many eyes upon her,
she became too frightened to weep
The complaint against her set forth
that she had stolen a hundred dol
lars from a Mrs.. Naseby, and as the
case went on, I found- , that this Mrs.,
Naseby, a wealthy _widow living in,
the town, was the girl's mistress.
The poor girl declared her innocence
in the wildest terms, but circumstan
ces were hard. against her. A hun
dred dollars in bank notes had been
stolen from her mistress's roam, and
she was the only one that had access
there.
At this juncture, when the mistress
was upon the witness stand, a youn,g
man caught me by t&r' arm. •He
was a fine looking young man, and
big tears stood in his eyes. - .
"They tell me you are a good law
yer," he whispered. -
"I, am a lawyer," I answered.
"Then do save her. You can do
it, for she is innocent.
."Is she your sister?" -
"No, sir," he added; "but—but--="
Here he hesitated.

"Yes, sir."
I left the court room and went to

him for .the letters I had handed
him--the ones that had been stolen
from the mail-bag. He gaye them to
me, - and having selected one, I re
turned the ' rest, and - told him I '
' would see he had the one I kept be
fore night. I then returned to ,the
court-room and the case went on.
,Mrs.°Nasbey resumed her testimo
ny. She said she entrusted the room
to the prisoner's care, and that no
one age had access- there save her
self. Then she' desCrilied. about the
missing money, and closed by telling
how she had found twenty-five dol
lars of-it in the pritainer's trunk. :
She could swear it-was the identi
cal teoney she had lost,. in two tens
and a five dollaibank note.
"Mrs. Naseby," said I, "when you
first missed the money, had you any
reason to believe that the prisoner
had taken, it?"
"No, sir, she answered.
"Had you ever before detected her
in any dishonesty?"
"No, six."
• "Phould you have thought (if
searching her trunk had not Nancy
Luther advised and informed you?"
"No, sir."
Mrs. • Nasbey" deft 'the stand, and
Nancy Lather took her place:. - She
came up with a bold look, and•upoir
me she cast a defiant glance, as if to
say, "trap me if you can." She gave
Me the evidence as follows:
ft
"She said that on' the ni ht, the
money was taken -,
she- saw t e pris
oner going up stairs, and m the
sly manner in which
,she went _ up
she suspected all was not right. She ,
followed her up. 19i7abeth went to
Mrs.- Naseby's room and shut the'
door after her. I stooped -down and
looked -through the
,key-hole, and
saw her take out money and put it in
her pocket. Then she atooped down
and picked up the lamp, and as I
saw that she was coming out I hur
ried away."
I called Mrs. Naseby to the - stand.
"Yon said that no one save your
' self and .the prisoner had access to
your room," I said. "Now, could
I Nancy Luther have entered the
room if she wished?" - . .
"Certainly, sir; I meant that no
one else had any right there."
I saw that Mrs. Naseby, though
naturally a hard woman, was some
what moved by poor Elizabeth's
misery:
"Could the cdokhave known by
any miens' in your knowledge, where
money
_was?", ,
"Yes,-sir; for she has often come
to lily room while ; l was there, and I
have often given her. money to buy
provisions of market-men who hap
pened to come *gong with their wag
ons."
"One-more question. Have you
known - of the prisoner having used
any moray since this 'WW2 Eitolenr.
"No, sir."
I now called Nancy Luther back,
and she began to . tremble a little,
th0u,7,11-her look was as•bold and de

Said so, and so = she went. Her
dwelling, was .not far off,i and she
ifooll returned and handed me four
receipts, which I took and examined.
They were signed in a strange stag
gering hand by the witne:
"Now,• Nancy Luther," I said, turn
ing to the witness and speaking I in . a
quick, startling - tone, at the same
time looking her sternly in the.eye,
!:pleaiie tell the court and jury, and
me, where you
. got the seventy-five
dollars you sent in ydhr letter to
your sister in Summers?".
The witness started as thoigh a
. volcano had burst at her feet. Then
turned
,pale us , death, and j every
limb shook violently. I waited until
the people could have an opportuni,
ty to see heF motions, and then L
repeated the , question.
- "l—never—sent any," she gasped.
"Yon did!" I thundered, for I was
:excited now.
"I—l didn't," she faintly muttered,
. .
grasping the railing by her side_ for
support.
"May it please your honor and
gentlemen of the piry," I said, as
soon as I • had looked the witness out
of countenance, "I came here to de
fend a man who was arrested for rob
bing the mail,and in the course of
my- preliniinary 'examination I had
access to the letters' which had been
torn open and robbed of money.
When I entered , upon this case, and
heard the naive of this witness pro
nounced, I went out and got this
letter which- I now. hold, for I re
membered haiing seen one bearing
the signature of Nancy' Luther.
This letter' was taken from the mail
bag and it• contained - seventy-five
dollars, and by looking at the post
mark you will observe that it was
mailed the day after the hundred
'dollars were taken from Mrs. Nl's
bey's drawer. I will •read if to yon
if yon please:" .1‘
The court nodded assent, and I
read the fallowing, which was 'with
ont'date, save that made by the post
inark upon. the outside. I give it
verbal/in:.
"Bnfrza .Doucts ; I send yn hear seventy

"Now, your honor," I said, as I
gave him the latter, and also the re
ceipts, "you will see that the letter is
directed to Dorcus Luther, Sum-.
mers, Montgomery county. -And
you will observe " that but one hand
wrote the letters and I signed the
receipts, and the jury also ob
serve. And now . 1 will only add, it
is plain to see hoir the hundred dol
lars were disposed of. Seventy-five
dollars were sent off for safe keeping,
while the remaining twenty-five were
&eel in the prisoner's trunk for the
purpose - of covering thereat criminaL
Of the tone of parts of the letter you
must judge. - I no*, leave my client's
case in- your hands."
The case. was given to the jiiryim
mediately following - their examina
tion of the letter. They had heard
from the witness' own mouth that
she had no money of her own, and
without leaving their • seats they re
turned the verdict of guilty."
I .will not describe the secene that
followed; but if Nancy Luther had
not been immediately arrested for
theft, .she would have been obliged
to seek protection of the officers, or
the eicited people would have maim
'her at least, if they hail not done
_more. The -next morning I received

I was told 'that the within' . was but
a slighi token of the gratitude due

poor defenceless - maiden. It was

The Kicluipoos ate their deer% flesh
with the Pottawatomies, hunted the
otter with the Osages, and thebeaver:
with the Hurons. " Then' the great
fathers ot the 'Hickspoos _ scratched
the backs of.the savage Iroquois, and
thetruculent IrNuois returned the
compliment.. Tribes which now seek
one another's scalps-then sat smiling
benevolently in another's nis,
smoking the never laid side calnment
of peace. '
These first men were not quite like
the men now, for they had tails very_
handsome tails they were, covered
with long silky hair. Very . ixmveni
ent were these appendages in a coun
try where flies were numerous - and • •
troublesome, tails being more sudden
in their movements than hands, and
more conveniently situated for whisk
ing off, flies which alighted on the
back: It was a pleasant sight to see
the ancestral ;men leisurly smoking
and waving their flexible tails at the
doors of the Wigwam in ,the golden
autumn evenings, and within were rio
squalling children, • no wrangling -
wives. The men doted on their tails,
and they painted and adorned them;
they plaited the hair into- beautiful
tresses, and wove bright beads, and
shell and wampum with the hair.—
They attached bows and streamers of
colored ribbons to the extremities of _
their tails, and when men ran and
pursued the elk and moose, there-was
a flutter elcolor behind them, and a
tinkle of precious ornaments.
But the red men got proud ; they
were so happy, all went so well with
theiu that they forgot the Great Spir -- \
it. They no more offered.the fattest
and choiceslof,their game neon the
memahoppa, or altar-stone, nor danc -
ed in his praise -who dispersed the
rains to cleanse the earth, and his
lightnings to cool and purify the air.
Wherefore he sent his chief Maniton
to humble men by robbing them of
what they most valued; and bestowing
upon them a scourge and affliction
adequate to their offense._ -The spirit
obeyed his master and coming on
earth, reached the ground in the land -
of the Kickapoos. He looked - about
him and soon discovered that the red
men valued their tails- above every
other possession. Summoning to
gether all the Indians, he Sequainted
them with, the wi ll of the Wahcondah,
and demanded the instant sacrifice el
the cherished member. It is iinposl
Bible to describe the sorrow and com- •
punction which filled their bosom
when they found that the forfeit of
their oblivion of the Great Spirit Was
to be that beautiful and beloved ap- -
pendage. Tail after tail was laid up
on the block and amputated. ,
The mission of the spirit was, in
part performed. He now took 'the
-reveral tails and converted them into
vain,- noisy, chattering and frisky
women. Upon these objects the
Kickapoos now lavished themedmira
tion ; they loaded them as before with
beads, and wampum, and.paint,_ and
decorated them with linking orna
ments and colored ribbons. Yet the
women had lost one essential quality
which as tails they had possessed.—
The caudal appendage had brushed
off man tlie worrying insects which
Sought to sting or suck his blood',
whereas the new _article' was itself
provided with a sharp sting,* called
by us a tongue ; and-far from brush
ing annoyances off man, it became an
instrument for accumulating them
upon his back mid shoulders. Pleas
and and soothing to the primeval
Kickapoo was the wagging to and fro
of the member - stroking and fanning
his back, but the new one -became a
scourge to lacerate. ' • -
However, woman retains indica
tions. of her origin. She is still be
loved as of yore • she is still beautiful,
with flowing ha ir ; still adapted to
trinketiy. She still frisky, vivacious
and happy ; and still, as old, does she
ever follow man,, dangling after him;
dangling on his heels, and never, of
her own accord, separating Mom him.
The Kickapoos, divested of their
tails, the legend goe§ on to relate,
were tormented 133 . rthe mosquitos, till
the Great Spirit, m compassion for
their woes, mercifully withdrew the
greater part of their insect tormentors.
Overjoyed at their deliverance, the
the red men supplicated the %con
dah also to remove the other nuisan-
ces, the women ; but-he replied that
the woine f n were a necessary evil and
must remain. - -

the Duke of Wellington that once
when he remained to take the sacra—

old man had gone, up opposite aisle,
and reaching the communion table,
knelt down by the side of the Duke.
Some one—a pew owner probably—
came and touched.the poor man on
the shoulder, and whispered to . him
to move further away, or rise and
wait until the Duke had received the
bread and wine. But the eagle eye
and quicleear of the great command
