A pleasant trip and profitable results.
Last Saturday evening I left home for a visit
to Burbage’s mill and other places in the vi¬
cinity. I first stopped at Schlatterville, where I
met with very kind hospitality from Capt. Lee
and Lady. At Burbage’s I met with a cordial
reception from Mr. Burbage and his accom¬
plished Lady, and all tlu* people about the v.11
age seemed to vie with each other with each
other to see who could do the most for my
comfort. 1 visited Capt. McKinnon at Hobo¬
ken aud was kindly treated by him and his
people. I went as far down as Capt. Shaw’s.
1 met friend Acock aud Gu-. Fruuklinand many
others, upon the whole my visit Was very
pleasant, aud the good people iu this neigh¬
borhood contributed the handsome sum of
182,00,’towards our church building with a
promise of more. I must say for their kind¬
ness they have my heartiest thanks
