A STRANGE BIRD, by H. HEATON. We.... recrossed Brush Creek by the LINQUIST bridge, passing the LINQUIST blacksmith shop which Mr. SHRINER painted and has on exhibition at the St. Louis Fair. Before Mr. SHRINER had discovered this valley I had thought it one of the prettiest places I had ever seen in the entire country, and everyong who sees it seems to think the same.... At the summit of the hill Mrs. Carrie (LAMSON) ROSS found time to stop and take a view of the landscape, declaring it was one of the finest she had ever seen, embracing as it did the valley, Salina, and so much of New Sweden. (Mentions Indian mounds that were opened several years ago by the Agassiz Society.....)
