Dayton, Ohio Aug. 30th 1884. Dear Sib. â€" Knowing as I do that your are always pleased to receive news from every avalable source is my plea for writing this letter. Early last spring I passed I'rom under the British Lion "that braved for a thousand years the battle aud the breeze" into the Dominions of that proud bird of liberty the Ameri- can Eagle, that flaps his protecting wings screeching defiance of all pos- sible enemies, I am now quietly settled down under the proudly flapping folds of the stars and stripes. 1 am now duly, iniliated into the mysterias of commercial travelling, liaving visited in business capacity over one hundered of the chief towns and cities of Ohio. This is a fine farming country. The cultivated land is almost free from stone, notwith- standing this, good building stone can easily be obtained from the numerous quarries along the banks of rivers. Crops are good this season, wheat will average 25 bushels per acre hay 2 to 4 tons ^nd corn 50 bushels; sugar cane, tobacco, sweet potato and and fruit are abundant, harvest is â- over here generally in July, Very httle snow in this country only 3 to 5 inches in Jan. and Feb. The contest for the presidential chair is waxing warm. In consequence of this there is a little stagnation in business, but as soon as this political campaign is settled an energetic reaction is onticipated. In the course of my peregrinations I came to Day- ton nearly two ^eeks ago, Daytcn is a good manufacturing city population 60,000. One of the most stupendieous monuments oi human industry exhibited to our eager gaze here is the world famed soldiers' home encer- cling 750 acres of land cultivated into a "Garden of Eden" by 4,400 heroes of the abolished slayery of the South. "This is the largest home in the United States, 2nd is Milwaukee 3rd Hamp- ton in Virginia 4th in New York State. The Dayton home was estab- lished in 1865 for the disabled Volunteer Soldiers of the Union Army. The dining hall consists of two floors each seating 1,100 persons it requires over 100 waiters to attend to tile wants of their comrades. Everything is conducted in a systematic and satisfactory manner.. There is a chain of artificial lakes dotted with Islands, they are well stocked with fish an equipment of row boatsarem readiness, A well drilled band entertains the visitors with choice operatic airs. The deer park ccmprising bears, monkeys, allegacors, turtles, buffaloes, elks, wolves, birds of various kinds and other animals this is quite an attraction, the beauty of the garden is indescribable. Surmoimted by cliffs, terraces and lakes bordered by grottos, caseadey and murmuring fountains blessed with living springs of pure water, and enlivened by the music of birds, which giye to it an air of fairy land. Swans drift idly by on the bosom of the lake. Mounted guns, pointing their grim visages over the peaceful water, are unheaded by the approach- ing flock of water fowl, there are 200 flower beds, laid out and ntoclced with abojit 200,000 plants, flowees and j^rubs all the products of thje Ijaiae pr^ptgaiing.hpHsea and conservatories, the products of the home 'farm are Yalded at $20,000 a ye^ the soldiers con same each ditji the folio wiiig. â€" â-  6,800 lbs. of bfead, eakds and bisooit,' 4,900 lbs. of b^f, poarfc and' fish-; 500 lbs. of batter 500 lbs. of cheese 600 lbs. of tea 1,200 gals. oi eoffee, 1 50 gals, of milk 240 IbA. jof si^par aoados. irf«gg8;6001b«. of-letos; iCtlHuJifits of fitaptiii^^ bdiiitu^ bf lio*idayrther»«e a^eeDowble h»^ deposed^ m M» «bawt^i and ^rabm a cak «»ffl^ btiti tBe tfl* of the jiuiiffled^riioi aad*lU^/iKe«ell volley infbrals the 8urviv«»^t anoth^ of th^ has gone to jom the oraaks brQie^ dead.

Kip Van Winkle like, of about a quarter of a Century, this place is rousing itself and beginiiig to show remarkable signs of activity Kefreshed, doubtless, by the long slumber, the probability is. that" this village will advance with astonishing rapidity, to be sure, it may not be able in the long run, to rival Chicago or New Yoik however, when once fairly started on the progres- sive road, no one van predict with certainty when or where the final fitop will be made. To drop Metaphor and Hyperbole and desend to plain, common sense, practical, affairs, the village has undoubtedly made greater advance this last year than in any previous one ivithin the memory of the oldest inhabitant. First and foromost, comes the new Roller Flouring Mill, fitted up with the latest improved machinery a handsome structure, which would do credit to any Town or village in the Dominion, the conception of wiiich, and successful completion, being mainly due to the praiseworthy enter- prise and perseverance of our respected townsmen Messrs. Bichard Oimstead and Clarke. Early insummer a finenew barn overlooking the village was put up on his place by Mr. Eobt. Walters, then came Dr. McClelland's new Grocery and Drugstore, there is now also in course of erection three building's, one for the sale of Agricult-, ural Implements bj Mr. Jas. Deleree Mail carrier, one for a general Store by Mr, George King, and the other a dwelhng House by Mr. Wm. Mc Quaker. This Limstone Ridge is con- sidered to be a very healthy site, the creek that flows briskly through and turns the Mills, is a nat- ural drain, by carrying off all superfluous water, no stagnent pools ever form, and Misma and Malaria are unknown. From the village can be seen to the west, a tine tract of clear land which for Agpcultnral capabilities might compare favorably with any in the Proyince. Then we have the famous: Falls, although not quite so grand as Niagara, they pres- ent attractions, to tourists and yisitars, by the romantic beauty ol the sur- rounding scenery. Cheering accounts come from, all quarters around here of the magnificent crops, and favorable Harvest, which will make t'le farmer's heart waz glad and many others besides. There is very little discussion of the Scott Act in thid place at present, public attention is probably directed, to the great contest about to take place in Halton, and which will be decided in a few days, with regard to the argument so much dwelt upon by the opponents of the Act, viz., " Theinfringement of personal liberty " I would merelv say, that there exists, compulsory Vaccination compnlsorV edricfttioil, cSmpuisory Sanitary re' gulafibnsallfor ttiB pubUe weal, and I can see no good reason why there should not alsfii.be, enforcejl sobriety.
