EDS. REVIEW—Your little daily is a ray of
light from the scene of my happiest days.
My childhood and youthful efforts were on
the banks of the beloved Susquehanna,which
since I have left this b2autiful stream, is
doubly dear to me. I long to bask in the
sunsbine and shadows of my native State uay
by day; my passion for angling and hunting
add to my desire to go home from time to
time. There are yet still dearer ties that draw
me to the old playgrounds; my mother's
grave, where flowers blossom and shed sweet
perfumes, emblematic of her many virtues
and sweet disposition, the faces of my rela
tives aud dear friends, familiar rocks, streams
mountains, and the dear, dear old homestead.
It seems to me now that I can almost count
every stone for miles around the hills and
valleys of Wyalusing, aud know the limbs of
the trees by heart.
Twenty years have gone, and the changes
death and decay have wrought are many. To
enumerate them would open wounded hearts
and cause them to bleed afresh. Let us then
only behold the bright side of the picture,
changes by time put forth. The thought that
the seed must needs die that life may come
out of the germ, points with power to our
only hope, that Heaven awaits the reunion of
us all in the sweet bye and bye.
I expect with several other Syracusans to
spend a week or so in Wyalusing in June.
We intend to put up with J. M. Brown aud
put in full time fishing for black bass.
This city was alive with people yesterday.
The decoration cerqmonies were impressive
and grand; more than 10,000 people congre
gated at Oak Wood Cemetery. Bishop Sims,
Chaucelor of Syracuse University, delivered
the address.
Business is booming here; building and
improvements going on with a rush; lots of
money and lots of push in our moneyed men.
Syracuse is destined to become a large and
prosperous city in the near future. The salt
interest might be better, perhaps it will after
a while. Manufacture of steel springs, &c.,
by W. A. Sweet & Co., and chilled plows by
Bradley b Co. show much enterprise. The
electric light has been introduced and the
works are now ruu day aud light.
Our parks aud drives are lovely; the coun
try all around us never looked more lovely.
An excursion from Bradford county to this
city would afford the greatest pleasure to all,
especially the young people. The most of us
are administration men.
Samuel Adams is doing a good business
here handling the Loyal Sock coal. Sam is a
gentlemau.
My youngest son, Ward, broke his right
arm yesterday forenoon. The fracture was
midway between elbow and wrist, both
bones; he is doing well. We hope to see all
our old friends up this way. M. M. B.

der the direction of Edward Williams, of

entirely satisfactory so far.
