Your correspondent, in his recent perigri
natiena. went down the Florida. Railway and
Navigation road again from Jacksonville to
Cedar Kevs, stopping over first at Starke,
in Bradford county. Here he was most
hospitably entertained at the Kentucky
House, anew brick structure, with the genial
J. R. Martin as proprietor, whose establish
ment is deservedly popular and located quite
near the depot.
Since our hist visit one year ago the town
lias continued steadily to improve, and
ilesnit® short crops of cotton and cold snaps
the people are in good spirits and quite hope
ful of tiie future.
* THE ORANGE TREES
have almost wholly recovered from the ef
fects of last year's "memorable freezes, and
have put on a strong and vigorous growth.
From all sides we learn that they are more
heavily laden with fruit the present season
than in any previous year, which it seems is
in no wise injured by the recent frosts. We
noticed that while at Live Oak the Irish po
tatoes, corn and beans bad been cut down
this was not the case hero, though the latter
Were looking pale and delicate.
Several new stores have been opened,
among them that of B. H. Jones and Cos.
hikl T. VV. Sweat, dealers in general mer
chandise. the family grocery of J. H. Bar
ron and the hardware and stoves concern of
J. \V. Cardell. With the latter is associated
an old Savannah boy, G. VS'. Sanders, who
was delighted at the' opportunity of getting
the Morning News regularly once more.
Indeed, our greeting from alt the merchants
was most cordial, and their appreciation of
vour journal is in no degree diminished.
Starke has just cause to be proud of her
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
President Geo. O. Looney,than whom there
is not a more accomplished and thorough
educator in the South, is still at the head of
the “Starke Institute,” and has numbered as
many as 150 pupils on his catalogue during
the past collegiat e year. Mrs. C. t). Crawley,
formerly of the Middle Georgia College, has
charge of the female department,. This lady,
so well and favorably known in educational
circles throughout the State of Georgia, is a
great acquisition to the seminary.
This little city boasts still another regu
larly incorporated institution known as
ORANGE COLLEGE,
which is owned and controlled by the Presi
dent, George P. Young, Esq., under a char
ter granted by the Legislature in 1882. The
average attendance, Mr. Young says, is
about 125 scholars. The languages and all
the higher branches are taught and diplomas
awarded to those who graduate. President
Young has had twenty years experience in
teaching, and is never without competent
and able assistants. He also ow ns a large
building in the vicinity where pupils from
abroad are lodged and boarded in his own
family.
Starke has two immediate and pressing
wants. One is a bank, to facilitate com
mercial operations, and the other a mam
moth hotel for the accommodation of
strangers and invalids, who would gladly
come here to breathe her soft and healing
atmosphere. Such au establishment would
the best possible feeder for all the other
boarding-houses.
Our next halting place was Waldo, where
we spent only a single night, stopping with
-Ji's. Amelia Legare. who keeps the Waldo
House. She is a lauy of elegant, manners
and nearly related to several of the oldest
families in Carolina. Even the most cap
tious guest could not fail to be pleased with
the entertainment received at, her hands.
Here, ton, the orange outlook is exceedingly
promising.
A MAGNIFICENT TREE.
Mr. D. Hicks showed the writer an or
ange tree in his yard which has four trunks
and it is estimated will yield forty-five boxes
"t fruit the present year, or near 10,000 or

i p'd of Cedar Ke>s, while Mr, Finlaysor, of
the firm of James L. Cottrell &
j lias again bivn chosen Mayor, and his asso
i i-iate a tneinlier of the present Legislature.
| Another brother of the latter, F. M. Cottrell,
| was n!so ejected to the Legislature from I.a
layette comity, but has since died. The
Cottrell family have been prominent *in
Florida fornuuiy yearr. Thefatherof these
young men, Col. James Cottrell, served sev
erai terms in the State Senate and died a
member of that body at an advanced age.
He* was greatly respected.
R. M. Dozier, the popular railroad agent,
has served in that capacity for nineteen
I years, twelve of which have been spent at
Cedar Keys in the office of the Florida Rail
way apd Navigation Company. Heisevery
inch a gentleman and faithful official.
Rev. \Y. N. Wilson, the beloved rector of
the Episcopal church, is not only a devoted
pastor and fine sennonizer, but born a me
chanic. He has filled his study and dwell
ing with ornamental articles and choice
specimens of furniture which would do
credit to a professional expert.
Rev. T. E. Smith, formerly from Carters
ville, Ga., but late of Tallahassee, is the
Presbyterian pastor. The Methodists and
Presbyterians at present occupy the same
building on different Sabbaths and wor
ship together. The best of feeling exists be
tween the two denominations.
A PLEASANT FISHING EXCURSION.
The writer was indebted to Inspector Cot
trell and Mr. Dozier for a delight
ful sail on the Gulf in the
pretty yacht of the former. We had ns
companions also Mr. Thomas P. Thomson,of
Abbeville, S. C., and the bright little sou of
Mr. Dozier, who bore away the palm as a
fisherman. Leaving old Cedar Keys to the
left,upon which the Faber mill is located,and
still several hundred inhabitants remain, we
threaded our way with a light breeze
through the various islets and keys which
ilot the coast, the immense “leg of mutton”
sail of our craft catching every breath of
air. When creeping along the brisk steam
tug of the Faber Company hove in view
and Mr. Lewis Morris, the polite general
agent of that concern who was in charge,
kindly took us in tow down to
SNAKE KEY,
some ten miles distant, where several hours
wero passed most enjoyably in catching fish
or shooting cranes and other water fowl on
the adjacent shore. The salt air was keen
and invigorating and time flew on eagle
wings until forced to return, which we did
with a stiff breeze and in gallant style. Of
the finny tril>e we captured 100 in round
numbers.
THE PROJECTED RAILROAD.
Cedar Keys is greatly stirred at present
with the prospect of anew railroad from
that point to Branford, on the Savannah
river, and its ultimate extension to Macon,
Ga. It is asserted that the portion to Bran
ford is to be built by an English company of
ample means within ninety days, and 1.000
hands are to be put to work shortly. The
route is through a very fine lumber region,
with much valuable agricultural lands also
on the line and in easy reach of it. The
parties say they can deliver the steel rnilsHt
Cedar Keys for #5 less per ton than they have
ever been placed in America. A line of
steam ships is in contemplation to run be
tween Cedar Keys, Cuba and Central Amer
ica. Our informant says there is no reason
to doubt the above statements. Such an en
terprise, if completed, would indeed give
a lasting impetus to the old town. The pro
gramme is to make the distance to Savan
nah and New York in eight and fifty-eight
hours respectively. The proposition seems
to meet with general belief, though the
names of the contracting parties for the
present are withheld. Nothing seems to be
impossible in Florida.
EASTWARD BOUND.
From Cedar Keys we swiftly retraced our
way to your city, pausing for a brief season
only at Bronson and Archer, both of which
places have been fully descrilied in a former
article. In Bronson we bad the pleasure of
meeting Hon. AV r . J. Jones, a most genial
gentleman, who has represented his county
two terms in the State Senate and two in
the lower House. We formed the acquaint
ance too of Mayor Mnrsteller and Dr. W. R.
Sage, a graduate of the University of Ken
tucky at Louisville, and practicing physi
cian. Dr. Jackson, Editor Burke and the
veteran Col. W. R. Coulter, member-elect
to the 1 legislature, all continue to be readers
of the News.
Bronson can Ixiast of one merchant, Mr.
J. Epperson, who handles nearly 400 bales
of sea island cotton annually and sells
SIOO,OOO worth of goods. He also owns the
only hotel in the place.
ARCHER
is blessed with one of the best and most
homelike hoarding-houses in Florida. It is
known as the Good Wood House, and is
kept by the worthy Mayor, Hon. W. A.
U .iii. Here everything is serv ed not only
with neatness but elegance, and the viands
and eooking are exquisity. In this place we
experienced a warm greeting again from
our old friends the Bankifights. Judge
McDouell, Mr. Jackson, Mr. W. A. Geiger,
Mr. Fleming and others. A protracted
meeting was going on, conducted by the
Met!enlist and Presbyterian pastors with
promise of good results. The gardens and
truck patches nil through this region, which
is one of the best in Florida, and around
Gainesville also have been for the most part
cut down by the cold, and the people seem
much disheartened.
Money is very scarce, too, but there is
still ample time to raise plentiful erops of
corn, sen island cotton and imtatoes, and
those will go far toward retrieving the situ
ation. Let everyone do his duty and hope
for the best. H. H. J.
A Railway Train Stopped by Fish.
From the Chicago Herald.
“Did you ever hear of a train being stopped
by fish!'’ inquired an employe of the Michi
gan Central, addressing,! reporter. “I dare
say yon never did. M ell, wo had an experi
ence of that kind on our road last Sunday.
Our east-bourn' passenger train was actually
stopped and detained more than two hours
by fish. The engineer pulled up at the
water tank in Michigan City to get the usual
supply of water for the 1 toiler. But
when the fireman pulled the rope, no water
came out, though the gauge showed that the
tank was half full. An examination showed
that the pipe was stwmied up by fish—
hundreds of them, from little wee minnows
up to pretty good-sized pereh. Nor
was it such ail easy matter to clear the ori
fice so that the water could flow out. Tho
stock of water was low in tin* tender,
and the engineer did not dare to run on to
another tank, so there was nothing for it
but to clear the fish a way. A number of
{tasaengers went out to help the trainmen at
the novel work, and after an hour's lalsir
tqo little pests were seonjied up and removed
in sufficient quantities to lit, water pass,
though a good many fish went, with tho cur
rent, into tlie water tank on the tender. At,
last the engineer pulled out and all bawls
siqqiosed that the trouble was at, nil end.
Butnotso. The fish iu the tewler tank got
into the feed pities connerled with the boiler,
and upon starting his pump the engineer
found that it wouldn’t work. The t rain was
st,>p|s*( 1 mill ngain the pussengers ciqnn out
to .km* what the matter was, and some of
them swore a good deal when they learned
that the train hail I“••■u stopped ngnin by
fish At one time the enghirer thought lie
would lie compelled to draw tho lire from
his locomotive awl wait until another en
gine could reach the scents. The train lay
another hour at Buchanan ntutlon. and tin*
