This is about 7 5 miles west from The Democrat man’s old home and birthplace, our former home being at \\ orcester, Otsego county, and we had a nice ipsit with Mr. Peck Sunday regarding that locality. He is very much taken up with the country there, and says quite a number of people from the west, and middle west, have recently gone back there and bought farms, and cited one from Richmond, Ind., one from North Dakota and one from Seattle, Wash. Lt is a great dairy country, and Mr. Peck expects to increase his dairy up to 50. cows ere long. Clyde Reeve, formerly of Rensselaer but for the past several years a resident of Remington and one of the rural mail carriers out of that place, has bought a 77 acre farm in the Deleware valley, Deleware county, N. Y., near Deposit, not far from the Pennsylvania line, and expects to move upon same early next month. Both Mr. Peck and Mr. Reeve think there will be several more from Remington and vicinity locate in that vicinity, as they are all interested in the stories brought back by those who have been prospecting there.
