Local Correspondence.
Bck-nside, Sept, 26, 1S70.
Mo. Editor: As none of your subscri
bers in this vicinity correspond with the
Joi rnal, I will "jest drop down" a few
lines to let you know how affairs are in
Burnside, and the immediate neighborhood.
Foremost on the tapis is the coming railroad,
and knots and groups may be seen in the
evening collecting a, different points to dis
cuss the latest war ne -vs, and the prospect
of an early advent of the "Iron Horse."
Several meetings have been held and quite
an amount subscribed. And it is likely
that a portion of the road wili be put under
contract before the charter Sipircs. Mr'.
James Ms-Murray and Mr. Jack Patchin
have been working hard and with some ef
fect, and are entitled to considerable credit
for the interest they took in this important
matter. Lot owners in the soon-to-be im
portant town are busy rolling and burning
the rubbish from their land in anticipation
of "big" figures iu time to come.
Mr. Iloraee Patchin is stirring lively
around Burnside, tearing out anil repairing
the W. C. Irwin property, expecting to
move in late this winter. Aaron is also on
the move, building a due little house at
Slabtown, a new granery and carriage house
at Patchinville. So you see, Mr. kill tor,
they are building "on it up" around here
pretty lively,
The timber makers arc making the woods
ring, and over on Chest they ate tearing
out some millions ot feet of saw logs. Next
on the carpet after the railroad, is our fa
vorite fall and winter amuscuicut, surprise
parties. We, the folks, collect and inarch
in pairs to the house of some neighbor,
who, having been warned of the event by
some half dozen, is, of course, nearly sur
prised out of his shoes. Alter the neigh
bor and family have lecovercd from their
terrible surprise the party march in and the
evctiliig entertainment begins, "Peel the
W.llow," "Chase the Carpenter," "Hang
the Fainter," and last but not least "Snap."
The company arrange themselves around
the room and a young lady arises and ap
proaches some young gent, she crooks her
thumb and iudex finger under his nasal and
quickly ejaculates "snap," uow lie is toper
sue her and if successful in capturing her
is rewarded with a kiss. Away she goes,
the young man in swift pursuit, her dress
catches iu a chair and during the delay in
unfastening it he comes up and "snap" is
changed to "smack." So it goes, until the
wee stua hours warn the party to retire.
There is considerable sickness prevailing
in the neighborhood just now. Something
like the dysentery, I believe, and quite a
number have died during the last few weeks.
The medical men attribute it to the unusu
ally dry fall weather, cool nights, and ex
ceedingly warm days.
An interesting Lyceum in in full blast at
Patchinviilc and our young orators are air
ing thems. Ives with tremendous effect, of
which more again.
