To Mr. Thompson—Dear Sir ; In
my lad letter ( told you I was gwhie
to Y'ankeedood ledum. VVeU. Tvo been
to Bovtoo and Lowell. and seed the
lire Yankee*, Bunkerhlll monument
sod llic faotry gall*, nnd a heap of
other natural curiosities that inore’n
paid □M for the trip.
Hooper, who you know la it OJd
Feller a« well aa a very clever one,
wauled to go to the great celebration
wbat was to lake place in a few days
In Bostou, and as 1 wanted to tee that
' part of tbs world before 1 ueol home,
we agreed to go togetJier. and I 81
Monday evenln we tuck paaiaga In this
steamboat Narryganset for Boston.
We hadn’t beru g.ma long from the
wharves wlion the rust thing i know’ll
tbs inglne wits stopped, the boat o >ru
menoed slnwln round, and the people
ruonin In evry direction. Dtmeby the
logine give another lick or two and
lbee etopped agin. Thinks 1 thei’a

Hell-gate! thin.# (. aod l looked
oat, and shore enuff tbe watri was
whirlic round and round, and rniniPi
up stream and orutswaya and rvry
other way. Jsst tlmu thump went the
old bote agio aumtlnug, and ovry so
man squalled, ami tbs noon atmal on
ther tip-toe*. Thinks I, If uc is to go
to the bottom, I’d a go--d deal rather
lake a swim in some other place.
Everybody said doo’l be alarmed—and
one man ted It didn’t make oiucli dif

Boston, nnr how. Bimeby tJie b.'ll

backi This may be a bug wlmt they
pat on me, but one thing 1 do kuow—
and that la that they is great whalers,
for they whaled the British out of liter
harbor, in the lsst war, a monstrous
tight aaloker than tlisy cu e lu. It
was a bomiuable dark foggy niorniu,
and I couldn’t sen much of 8tunu)ng

sod in about a ower more we was in

When we got to the depo, the white
