The railway from Indianapolis to Jeffersonville, opposite Louisville, crosses at Seymour, and about two miles off is a flourishing little town called Eockford ; it is on the White Water river. We reached Seymour about half-past twelve, and had a " Hoosier " dinner at the M'Callum-house, a small hotel, where they gave us plenty of dishes, but miserably cooked, and worse served, with wretched tea. Still, we had breakfasted at half-past seven, and had little chance of feeding again till we got bac...k to Cincinnati, so we had to do our best. Five and a half hours to fill up, we strolled down the track of the road some three miles. The day was hot. There were a few cleared fields about ; but every- where the view was closely shut in by the wall of wood. We went up to a small log-hut, in the midst of a wheat-field, ostensibly to get a drink of water, but really to see what sort of a place it was. It was a single small room, built of logs, the crossed ends of which are dovetailed into one another, and the interstices plastered with mud.
