Augustus Phillips Writes From New York City.

Augustus Phillips, brother of Fred Phillips, and formerly of -this city, writes from New York City, where he is connected with the Edison people, as follows: “I was delighted to receive a copy of the old paper again. It sure made me feel good to see it. ■ I read it from “kiver to kiver”; few names that I know any more. I see all the auctioneers are Col.’s now. I suggest you promote Charlie Spitler to Col. too; then people can think they are all from south of the Mason & Dixon line. I am leaving in two weeks for‘Florida; too cold in the big city. 1 am anxiously awaiting the next paper to arrive. I terribly homesick but do not know when I will see the old place. Happy and prosperous year to you and all Rensselaer.’’
