After calling on the business men I could have any prospect of getting orders from, I called in at the State«House to see the legislature in session. While there I saw an old acquaintance, who was re- porter for one of the daily papers in Columbus. I stated my wish to see the (-lovernor elect if he was in the City. He learned that the Gov. was in the City and Where he 1ived——where I would be likely to ﬁnd him, as he has not been inaugurated. Consequently, in your behalf, I plucked up courage to call upon him.

I—IAMIL'r0N. -,_.. _,._.........m........___-,-_ _. The following is an extract of a letter from Mrs. Tryphena E. Freeman, to John S. Freeman : Schenecmdy, Jan. 12. 1868. Dear John:——I received your letter in due time, with thankfulness to you all for the ten dollars you sent. Oh the love of God? If all would trust God, none would want. The barrel of ﬂour you sent will last, I think, till the last of April or the first of May. Your father says he will do all that lies in his power to break up the Community as long as he lives, and that is all he lives for. When you iirst went away your father had all my relatives on his side. Some of them said they would not do anything for me, nor come to see me. But they have given that all up. THE 0. c.

The lmltsitse of’ disease and old age were spoken of, as 1:>m'tic11i;t1'ly disgusting, and one elderly member said he didn’t want persons should treat him as though he was an old inan, and needed care and petting on that account. He thought the best way to overcome old age, ( which was noth- ing but a habit) was to ignore it. Last night, persons were made free to say what they wished to, about the habits of the family, or of individuals, and there was considerable freedom and a, good deal of mirth over seine babits that were criticised. —<o®o>——«—— Some time since, mention was made in the Daily of a lady Visitor who “ wished to remain here as long as she lived, provided she died in any decent season.” The same person came again yesterday, her object seeming to be, to ﬁnd a home. She was einployed as nurse in the zwmy, and brought at large ﬁle oi recom- mendations which she wished Mrs. Bolles to read. Mrs. B. told her we did not doubt her honesty or 56 'I‘HE_0. 0.

In retiring from our oﬁiee we desire to thank the family for their patience in bearing with our many mistakes, and hope the same leniency will be extended to our successor, who we doubt not will have the support of the family in her new position, which she enters upon with much trembling. We feel however, that she will do well in the business. E. Y. J. —————<mo«»——— Mr. Hawley took all the children with their attend- ants and teacher out to ride, yesterday afternoon. The sleigliing was excellent, the day ﬁne and they all enjoyed it much. There were thirty-one, and they all went in one long sleigh, drawn by two span of horses.

George tells his story as follows: “ Three years ago he went to California and betook himselt’ to trapping. The first season he had tolerable luck, though he had but few traps, and did not under- stand the art Very well, (owing doubtless to his not having a copy of the ‘ Trapper’s Gruidef) But last Fall he went 21.g2ti1),t:tl;i11g with him quite a number of Newhousds superior Nos. 0 and 1. About ﬁfty miles northeast ll‘01I1 San Francisco, he found a trapping ground where mink were plenty and Comanches were not. In fact, not a hostile Indian within 150 miles. Here he set himself at work, and in three months had captured $700.00 worth of fur, and ‘ used up’ his traps. “ They got broken, I suppose?” “No, not exactly. A few were stolen, and then when he got done trapping he threw away what traps he had left. He used up about twelve dozen, in the two s<.-asons. That’s always the way trappers do out there——whe11 the season's over, throw away the old traps, good ones and all~—the price of a trap is noth- ing—when they start again, buy new ones.” (Communistic interlocutor with an eye to market.)

Their ob- ject was to report to him the state of our ﬁnances, and that we could not help him without embarrass- ing ourselves. Mr. Rice seemed to have great conﬁ- dence in our integrity and thouglit the business could be so arranged that we could help him and still not injure ourselves. The matter was referred to Mr. Noyes in perfectconﬁdence. Followiiig this was an earnest desire expressed to be saved from false be- nevolenee, and to know how to treat our outside friends. Mr. Burt had been going through some judg- ment on this point——sa'1d that false benevolence was a weakness that he had always been liable to, and he wanted it judged without mercy. Our true outside friends are really beneiitting themselves more than they are us, and we need not therefore feel under obli- gations to them. —_——:A ~—¢g.go.@on--—-—« ——~r—~——.?.

This done, he re- turned home to await the result. Saturday Mr. Bristol, Homer and Sidney were down in the Petrie woods hunting, when Mr. Bristol descrying what he supposed a partridge, took aim and ﬁred. On gaining the spot where his game had fallen, he found not a partridge, but an enormous owl, 1neasur~ ing from tip to tip four feet and ten inches, with a No. 1 trap and chain attached to its foot. They were some surprised at this but on reaching" home,‘ Milford‘ THE 0. c. DAILY. * 71 was able to explain the matter.

These speckled beauties owe their presence in these parts to Mr. Bristol’s agency, and he quite naturally exercises a fatherly care over them and indulges them from time to time with a meal of fresh meat, which they eat with great avidity. To see them swarm around the hole cut through the ice, and take the pieces of meat from the hand of those who feed them is fun which an admiring group occasionally enjoy. The entgrtainriieiit is heightened when a roguish hand that holds the tempting piece of meat gives a sudden jerk, as the unsuspecting trout closes his teeth upon it, landing him high and dry on the ice. How much the trout enjoy this last operation is uncertain. ~————~--oowoa» ~*—~ G. W.

The waiter went on with a terriﬁc noise, raising a great dust and striking the bottom with such violence as to cause the buisting open of some of the boxes.

I have liked Mr. N0yes’s Talks lately very much. In thinking of his remarks about fasting, I have felt like judging my past life in regard to my alimentiveness. That has been my weak point. I Wish to expose the devil and clear myself from this spirit. Then followed remarks on true love, which is a great source of strength to us. There is power in it. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. We have had a great deal of criticism of false love; now we want to see it displaced and the ground fully occupied by true love. And not only false love, but false benevolence should be removed. That has been as great a curse to us as false love. It leads us into fellowships that destroy our life Without bringing back anything to God.

It was distinctly understood by Mr. Rice, that, after this appeal to Thompson had 'been made, We would have nothing further to do with the business. Our 86 THE 0. c.

He did not tell us the whole truth when here a while since, and proba- bly did not know it himself. He has lost his energy and is intellectually, morally and physically lazy and in bondage to Gerrit Smith. Thankfulness was ex- pressed that we were to have nothing further to do with him. ——<s-o<z'.r::>o e«»—--——»»——— — W. 1).; Jan. 23.—On the sixty—seventh page of the present volume of the Scientific Amev’-z'ccm is a question stated thus : “ How many revolutions on its own axis will a wheel make in rolling once round a ﬁxed wheel of the same diameter?” As the subject excited considerable interest among the men and some of the women, it was proposed that it he discussed at length in the evening meeting. Ac- cordingly, one enthusiast with the aid of the black- board and a minute machine proceeded to prove that it made but one when the same side of the axis was di- reeled toward the center of the wheel. Then taking the other side of the argument, he proved that it made two when the axis was carried round with reference to the points of the compass. Highly amusing discussions followed, in which no less than four machines were brought forward by as many diﬁerent persons, to prove these two principles. The umpires, Mrs. C. A. M. and H. E. A. have as yet been unable to decide which is right. -tour couple. THE 0. 0. DAILY. 8-7‘ Jan. 24.—Mr. Inslee reports that the 'aite1' is again in sale and working order. The last of the No. 6 bear-traps have been sent oil‘. Mr. Hawley kindly came over this afternoon with a four horse sleigh and gave us a family sleigh-ride, a nice long one. We all enjoyed it exceedingly, and offer Mr. H. our heartiest thanks. On arriving home we found G. W. H. awaiting the Warm welcome we were ready to give him. He re- ported himself in the evening meeting as having had a proﬁtable time spiritually. Said he realized God’s care as never be1'ore.—All expressed themselves as very thankful for the talk, “ How to be Saxnsonized.” ——~»—-—<o®oc»—~— B. H. C.——A dance is going on here this evening. It happened on this wise: Two of our best trap-shop hands leave us to-morrow, induced to do so by higher Wages at gun making. But wishing for a social gathering of their acquaintances, mostly among our late and present employes, these two young men ap~ plied for a room in our tr-ap~shop for a dance. We did not like to say no, and yet we could not say yes. So we compromised the matter by offering them our dining-hall at the boarding-house. Witli this offer, they were more than satisﬁed, highly pleased. Our boarders too, especially those whose dresses conceal the c7uu'ctez‘e7* of the steps in the performance of the dance, consider it a pleasurable episode in their mo- notonous mode of daily life. VVUH, so far they appear to enjoy the oceasimi much, and their behavior to- ward all, is commendable. Indeed, to commend them- selves to our little family, seems to be their chief pleasure.

Mr. Kinsley agreed to pay the cost of such adjournment——which would be merely nominal—-if the mortgage was not redeemed, and the sale eventually took place. Mr. Thompson thought Mr. Rice had meant to deal honestly about the estate, but he was rather slack, and his afi‘a.i1's had been embarrassed. Mr. Kinsley wrote to Mr. Rice, reporting the result of his interview with Thornpsoii; and here it is supposed our connection with the matter ends. We quite frequently have notes read in the meeting from diﬂerent members of the family which show that the good work is going on and the spirit of truth at Work in searching our hearts, preparing the way for concentration, and a real home in which all hearts are one. Though these notes are edifying, they are rathe' too long to admit of printing all of them. ‘ Among those read lately was one from D. M. K., expressing faith and conﬁdence in Mr. Noyes and a de- termination to be faithful. Another from Manly, exposing past temptations and taking a new stand for Christ and the truth. Miss Ellen Nash confessed her hatred of false love and judged a spirit that had secretly longed for it. THE 0. 0.

The year 1816 was mentioned as one of great scarcity occasioned by an extremely cold season. Snow fell to a considerable depth in the month of J une.

Last evening Mr. Woolworth reported that he and several of‘ our men met Mr. Henry VVilson and Mr. Case of Vernon, in our imp‘-:<zli<)p o'll“1ce and hztd some talk with them about the new railroad project, with a View of learning what they would like to have us do. They are a good deal stirred up, and are prepar- ing to make a strenuous effort to have the Central 94 , THE 0. C. DAILY. straightened.

Vanderbilt. They wished to have us senda delegate and help defray the expense, our share of which they thought would be from fifteen to twenty-five (lollars. Mr. VV00lworth told them that our man, Mr. llamilton, was already in New-York, and if he felt like acting in the capacity of a delegate we should like to have him do so. He also told them we should be willing to share the expense of the delegation. These men are acting quietly and rather not have their move- ments known and talked about till they come to something. They wish to avoid any excitement. In conclusion Mr. Woolworth said, “I feel the import- ance of walking wisely and seeking inspiration in the midst of these conﬂicting interests.” It will be remembered that what was the old parlor is now six bedrooms ; well, be it known that three of these rooms at the present time are occupied respec- tively by Mrs. Smith and her baby, Harriet Sibley and her baby, Mrs. Perry and her baby. Mrs. Ellis rooms there too, and the other day some one said to her : “ You live in babydom, don’t you ?” “ Baby dumb?

The young man is’nt in now, but there are the women at work at the books by that ta- ble.” (Pointing out Elizabeth and Harriet.) “ I don’t understand how it is that you can educate such young girls to superintend a business like this, and to keep books too.” “ Why, how old do you take those women to be?” “ Well, about ﬁfteen I should say.” “ Miss Allen, that one, who is the younger, 1s at least twenty-ﬁve and I guess rather more than that.” It took Mr. Rice some little time to assure himself that they were not girls. He said our women all looked short and very girlish. He was greatly pleased with the trapeshop and laughingly said he guessed he should have to go into the trap business. ——--————————————10(>O H. G. A. writes from Chicago, Jan. 24 : “ Have had an interesting talk to-day with a Mr. Brownley of St. Paul, who is engaged in the fur business. He has spent two seasons near Alaska, in British Columbia, and says that Alaska and vicinity are full of ﬁne furs. 99 He thinks it only needs the yankees and our traps, to develop the fur business in this locality. They now use wooden traps, and don’t understand managing the business in that systematic way we do in the U. S. “ He says that country is perfectly lousy with furs, as he expresses it, and that some day we shall have a big demand for traps from there. “ The same he says is true of the Hudson Bay Terri- tory to a great extent, and the II. B. 00. do not do half of the business there they might. “ When that Territory passes out of the hands of the H. B. Co. as it will ere long, I expect we shall have the greatest demand for traps that we have ever had. “ The settling up for blown bottles of fruit is one of the “ little odd jobs” I ﬁnd to do. Am happy to report that our corn, peas and tomatoes stand at the head of the list here this year-—jellies and fruits the same. Folks are loud in their praise of our corn and peas. “ I shall be very glad to face homeward, and shall expect to leave here by Monday next, reaching 0. C. by Saturday or Sunday morning.” —<oooo—-————-. The last CIRCULAR states that there have been ﬁve births in the O. C. during the year ’67. This startles us a little, for we know that we at Oneida are respon- sible for only two or them. What is the natural in- ference ? Cllearly this: W.

The new riveting machine, which when we first obtained it, we were tempted to throw aside as worth- less, was tried yesterday and iound to work very satis~ factory in the riveting of pans and jaws. We have commenced a round of criticism ; it is proposed to take the members of the family in alpha- betical order, one or more each evening.

He says We would be sur- prised to see how many friends Mr. Olds has on his 114 THE 0. 0.

In our noon-meeting yesterday the article from the Atlcmzfic “Does it Pay to Smoke” was read, and if we were to take all the nods we saw as those of ap- proval, then the piece was pretty generally intermin- ing as Well as somewhat amusing. (We are a little apprehensive that these nods were not made in assent.) Sunday is a great day with us for meetings. Yes- terday there were twelve regular meetings, and three committees for criticism. The morning club from nine to ten o’elocl<; Business meeting from 11 to 12 A. M.; noon meeting from 1 to 2 P. M. At 2 o’cloek George E. had a short meeting with Ernest’s class of boys ; at 21} o’e1ock a club of women held their meet- ing; at three, the young men had a session in the back parlor, but gave place to the young women at four. Six o’clock brings together a class of Women of the age of Fidelia and Libbie Hutehins, and seven o’eloek is the time appointed for the girls meeting, and the usual meeting of the new members. At some hour in the afternoon there was a meeting of the “New York Perfectionists,” Mr. Burt, Mr. Worden and others. Of course the evening meeting was THE 0. 0. DAILY. 115 joined in by all.

We feel sure that the late criticism of the inmates of the sitting-room will be the beginning of a new spirit there, and there will no longer be that marked division between the old and young that has existed heretofore. We already feel the barriers to love and unity melting away, and know they will be entirely removed. ———~——~<o®o>——————~ The following note was read in the meeting last eve- ning: I wish to thank the family for the criticism I received last evening. I feel it was true, and I now desire to separate myself foreoer from the cruel hateful spirit of gossip and evil-thinking which leads to unbe- lief. . I also desire to be separated from the marriage, selﬁsh spirit which is at the bottom of it all. I wish to offer myself, soul and body, unreservedly to Christ and his church to be made a new creature. I confess my hatred of my old life and desire to be en- tirely separated from it. The desire of my heart is, that the love of God may be stronger in me than any other love, and feel that I can forsake all—husband 116 ’1‘il'iE o. c. DAlL‘x’. and children—-for the love of Christ. I wish to con- fess my union with Mr. Noyes and my love for tlm ascending fellowship. I pray for a true spirit of humility and repentance and a. soft loving heart.

He had good luck in collecting; but in sonie CUSUS he had to take short notes hearing interest. The partit-s were considered reliable, and he con- siders the accounts good. He found about twelve hundred dozen traps in Chicago, so tliore is not much prospect of a great trade the coming spring. Customers are good-natured. Wise ones say fur is rising, and traps will be in de- mand in the fall. Few turs were caught last season, from the fact that the dry Weather injured their market Value. The mink were nearly red.

He had good luck in collecting; but in sonie CUSUS he had to take short notes hearing interest. The partit-s were considered reliable, and he con- siders the accounts good. He found about twelve hundred dozen traps in Chicago, so tliore is not much prospect of a great trade the coming spring. Customers are good-natured. Wise ones say fur is rising, and traps will be in de- mand in the fall. Few turs were caught last season, from the fact that the dry Weather injured their market Value. The mink were nearly red. Fur—bearing animals need plenty of wet weather in order to have marketable skins. Henry was surprised to ﬁnd our preserved fruits so popular, especially the corn and pease. Some said the pease were better than any they could get in summer. The jellies were not so popular in some quarters, owing to their poor quality the year be- fore, though all who had tried them this year liked them. Mr. Olds confessed that they were made chieﬂy of apple the year before, and this has won for him the additional cognonien of “ Applcsau(:e.” On his return Henry rode in one of the new sleeping 118 THE 0. 0. DAILY. cars. In Canada the driving—wheel of the engine was broken. VVhen the train was stopped they found they were near a very high bridge and their escape from a terrible accident was a narrow one. He recogni7.ed it as an instance of God’s care over him and was t11ank- ful for it. A man accompanies each of these sleeping cars to look after things. One morning Henry left his over- coat in the car as he went to breakfast, on the strength _ of this man’s assertion that everything in the car would be safe. On returning he found his coat had been removed. He took measures to ﬁnd it, but all to no purpose. The agent for these cars who lives in Rochester, considered the company responsible for the loss of the coat and recommended Henry to write to them about it. .._._-___ ...,__€.%..}.- ......... .._ Any one on the road between 0.

As John Freeman is to leave in the morning for Schenectady to see his father, he asked the advice and criticism of the family. He was commended for his faithfulness, and for his earnestness in seeking the truth. He was exhorted to seek the inspiration and wisdom of God while away, and to meet his father in a soft heart. He took money with him and will do what seems best after ascertaining the exact state, of affairs. He don’t feel like trusting his father with money, but may pay his rent for him. V ————-<«sn»>—-—- Mr. John Allen, of Oneida, was here Sunday and while in conversation with Mr. Newhouse, told him that Messrs. Hitchcock and Wells attended our con- cert and gave him a glowing account of “ Herr Von Splugewfs Wonderful Box.” It pleased him so much he could not resist the temptation to go over and see W. about it, and this is his report of their talk : A.——We1l, you had a ﬁne time the other night didn’t on?

Here, W.’s wrath boiled over; Allen said he raved like a chained tiger. Probably this was the immedi- ate cause of his second attack on us.

What shall we say by way of expressing our appreci- ation of the late “Home Talks ?” To say they are rich, excellent and all that, is tame. Every one of them is just in tin1e——just to the point, and n1ore important to our growth and p1'o_2,'ress than the food we eat. \Ve will not mention thein in detail, hut we cannot refrain from expressing our l1eurt~felt gratitigide for “The True Jo1'dan.” The very idea of crossing that river at no very distant period stimulates us to bear all necessary trials and eritieisin with 21 fortitude we have not before experienced.

It is true, there has been con- siderable talk about using iron rollers heated by steam, but as yet it is only talk, and we regret that such an announcement has gone forth. Several of our folks went to the ironing-room to see it and were quite overwhelmetl at the diflerence between the mangle as reported, and the mangle as it is. ~—-40%?- Calling on Port.ia’s school we ﬁnd she has seventeen scholars, ﬁve of whom are too young to study much, but she teaches them from a chart of “ Familiar ob- - jects represented by words and pictures.” This helps them to gain correct ideas of the form and color of objects. While asking the older ones some questions on “ Pelton’s Outline Map of Europe,” Temple scrambled up into a chair and seizing a long rod used as a point- er, he placed the tip of it on England and says, “I know what that is, my father went there.” Then running the stick across the Channel into France, “And there too.” The circumstance of his father’s having been there had brought these places home to him and stamped them on his childish imagination most vividly. The older ones study Reading, Wr'iting, Spelling Geography and Arithmetic; and Marion says “ We speak pieces sometimes, too.” It is a very bright and happy looking school and so quiet and orderly that it’s a real pleasure to work as near it as we do, here in our little oﬂice. —~————<ro®o>——-~— Mr. Clark has started with the intention of making a circuit round Oneida lake.

The 29th of last November, we shipped by canal, 5769 lbs of scrap steel to ‘Prentice, Atlm & 00., of Newark, N. J., Steel Works. A short time after, 21 sudden stop was put to nztvigation, by the freezing of the canal, and the steel lied to be transported the rest of the way by railroad. A few days ago 21 letter was received from the above 00., with a check inclosed for the amount cliarged them, $228.13, and saying that the scrap steel had been received, but with it came freight and ca1't-age bills to the amount of$54/72 I! This they lamented, but said of course we did not know that the canal would freeze up, and they sup-’ posed that they must stand the ill luck, but an order or two would tend to eounterbzxlance. ' The Trap Dept. did not wish to order any more steel of them at present, so it was proposed we send them $25.00, to help defray the expenses. We wrote them a kind letter, inclosing the check for $25.00. Last night we received an aeknoxvledgmentt, thanking us tor our kind favor, and remarking, ‘.‘ Business is not always so justly conducted.
