Clraham ON THE WAY TO NORTHFIELD. ) Tho Rev. J. W. Wolling, D. D., Writes Entertainingly of Incidents of His Trip. t Traveling in these days can bo very luxurious if you only can have the ? money to pay for it. The trip on i* Long rshuul Sound from New York to New London, Conn., is after this fasli ion, and full oT interest. Par over on the west side of the city you take the , steamer and then for an hour or more , you have the wonderful city of New , York on one side and after you round the battery Brooklyn on the other. - The large ocean steamers are in, their > docks on cither hand while an endless number of tug: boats and ferry boats s and others of every shape and variety t arc crossing or passing at every turn. ' tl><' mean time your immense steamer, tour stories high and as white as a swan, threads her way up the f river, passing under the Brooklyn 3 bridge, which like spiders webs hangs - over your head. Three other bridges . of wonderful make, one already fin ished and the other two in construc. tion, soon will connect' the two cities, - now merged into Greater New York. These steamers are beautiful; witli in all is faultless, the stairs are degaul and richly carpeted, servants meet you at every turn, and your ev:> cry want is cared for. The dining 1 room is magnificent and nearly al: ways a band of music is playing while I the meals are served, and the prices - are reasonable. 1 got a nice supper for forty cents [? and with a service good enough for a >' piince. When night comes that boat , is luminous within and without with a ?rrent array of electric lights. Two , of them for many hours are running i one just ahead of the other so that r von can see them with their best effect. Soon you have the Connecticut ! shore on one hand and Long Island on 1 tho other, all studded with cities and . villages brightly illuminated. Just as it is good dark you come to the now celebrated Oyster Bay. tho home of Roosevelt, and the illuminations about / the nlace are distinctly seen. Wearied and chilled of the deck T went in !o read mv book. At eleven 0 clock T had reached the last page, 1 and now quite readv for bed T put ^ myself beneath good warm blankets, . for it was cold, and knew nothing ! more until daylight, when I awaked to , find our boat safely tied up to the ; dock at New London. In New England. This is the very centre of New Eng^ land both as to territory and names. "> The city is New London, and is on the P River Thames, n'nd in enrlv days this - whole region was settled by London? ors or English only. Wrapped in my overcoat T sallied forth to find a place . in the Central Vermont train which . was lo carry me to Northfiehl. The ? fiist few hours rule impressed me > with the stoniness of the ground, . roeks and rooks on every side. Tn t manv places Iho rooks have boon gathered to make rude foiioes around pas. lures and fields. Tl is in this region 1 hat it is Iold that thov used to grind down the sheep's nose to a point so ho could got the grass among the rooks. j Our train took us by winding ways .'(through a beautiful forest: the whitish blue foliage of the while pines, Iho dark green of the spruce and tho thick growth of the fir wore soon on 15 every side. This is Iho home of tho ' apple tree; in orchards, in ,pastures on the hill fop and in the alley, apple Irons everywhere. Just now Iho fruit is ripening and so tho various shades of rod and buff and golden pippins - delighted tin* view. But Iho end of s our .journey was at hand. We eross' od a ridge between the Berkshire Hills and dropned into tho beautiful Valley of tlie Connecticul and another run of Ion miles brought mo lo . Northfield whore T now am. and from this lovolv place send greetings to my t many friends in Newberry. Card of Thanks. o desire through those columns lo thank our neighbors and friends for their kindness to us during the rof cent illness of our little Eula May. - We greatly appreciate the attention - given, and help rendered, and pray V God's blessings upon all. Sincerely, h Mr. and Mrs. O. S.
