LETTER FROM HORNELLS-VILLE, N. Y. Hobnellsviixe, Aug. 11, 1884. Friend Chalfant: A letter from "this far off point may not be without interest to the readers of the Herald.

I am very pleasantly situated as to a home in a house built a few years since by Theodore Thacher, who was at one time in partnership with C. M. Luther in the grocery business in Lawrence. It is half a mile from the post office, on an eleyation which overlooks the whole city, and is a most beautiful location. I have not quite got down to the active work of a farmer yet; I expect to soon.

t. POLITICS. Everybody will want to know the political outlook in this section. Among Republicans I never saw so much enthusiasm as is manifested here for Blaine. On a very short notice the largest halls can be.

filled with enthusiastic voters, and they seem very confident of success. This community is fully one half Irishmen, and many of them avow their intention of voting the Republican ticket this year a thing they were never guilty of before. They formed an Irish Blaine and Logan club a few evenings since, with sixty-five members to start off with. Now, all this would look very formidable for the Republicans if it was not for one thing St. John.

You will smile when you first read this, but so serious is the defection from the Republican ranks to him that the prospects are two will go over to St. John for every Irishman that is gained for Blaine at least in this part of the state. A temperance camp-meeting, two miles east of this city closed last week; also one at Corning, forty miles east; also one at Wellsville, forty miles west, and one is now in progress at Silver Lake, a beautiful summer resort fifty miles northwest of here. At all these meetings St. John, Finch, Baine, Miss Wil-lard and Mrs.

Hint spoke, and they all urge voters to cast their ballots for St. John. St. John spoke in the Methodist church in this city last evening to a crowded house. I attended and sat beside Mrs.

B. A. Ambler, of your city. I took notes of St. John's speech, and shall write them out to-day and send to the Kansas City Times: it is too lengthy for you to handle readily.

In this city there is a St. John club of 110 members. At Can-nisteo, five miles below, there is a club of fifty; at Wellsville a club of 300, and so they are forming all over. A prominent man here told me that he thought more than one-half the Methodists of the state would vote for St. John.

People are surprised here when I tell them that St. John will get four times the votes in New York that he will in Kansas. I see by the papers that the candidate factory got in its work on the nomination of county attorney. It is probably a good thing for the candidate that you and not I are running the Herald and for two more were received a short time since. They are now filling an order for eight from Mr.

It is under the efficient managementof Supt. Hadley and a corps of excellent teachers, but laboring under one great disadvantage; being nearthe Indian Territory the children repuently run away, sometimes four and five at a time. One case came under bur knowledge. Seven were taken up from the Pottawatomie country and four ran away, walking back, a distance of one hundred and forty miles in four days, only lacking a few hours of getting bock as soon as the team that took them up, and three of them were under fourteen years of age.

The school will always labor under this disadvantage. Passing on southward over a commanding ridge, where we have a fine view for a longdistance to the right and left, we see the difference between the white man's land and the Indian's, On one side we see the country fenced, with fine farms, comfortable homes and good orchards, and on the other side, as far as the eye can reach, nothing but waving grass, with an occasional cattle ranch. We traveled twenty miles over high, rolling prairie, and changed horses at the Willows, the headquarters of the Standard Oil Cattle company, a company which has leased an area of twenty square miles of the Cherokee Nation.on what is known as the Cherokee Strip. They are having a great deal of trouble with fences, eight or ten miles of the wire having been cut between each post and the posts pulled up, supposed to have been done by the settlers along the border, in order to have a range in the Territory for their own cattle. The next change of horses is at Ponca Agency, quite a little village on the banks of Salt river, not the famous po litical "Salt river" of which we often hear.

The Indians seem to be doing well under Agent Scott, formerly of Iola. They have a large brick school building which makes a fine appearance, and is carried on under the industrial plan, under the charge of Mr. Sawyer, a former well-known citizen of Lawrence. Two miles beyond we cross Salt river on a ferry. Here the stream is wide and sandy, with treacherous wtth the odor of whisky, showing that.

During camp-meetings the railroad company should assign him at least one or two assistants. While the meetings are in session a great many careless persons pass in and out and leave the gates open. Some attending these gatherings from the country east knock off a plank and frequently take it with them to their homes for fire wood, John Wiese has the contract for mowing the.

grass and removing the rubbisa from the grove. Two or three line horses fromLeav-enwoVth City were added to the list of trotters a day or two since. These horses are fine and will be heard from the first week in September. The rain for the last four days has softened the race track, and made it unfit for training for a few days at least. A.
