THE SEASON AT HARWICH. —An extraordinary
number of persona have visited this old sad fashionable
wateringlilsoe during the past moeth. Nearly 30,000
tickets of admission for the pier have been issued ; • geese
number of excursionists by rail and the Greet Eastern Rail
way Company's boats must be added to these ; giving a
total of nearly 50,000 visitors to Harwich for the four weelm
to and including the 16th instant. Great napalms of peo-
ple still visit this place daily. The town is full to over-
flowing, and beds and lodgings alike are at a premium. Oa
Saturday week, for instance, while the town was still fell,
about SOO passengers landed from the London beats. and
sought lodgings, and up to late in the evening groups could
be seen at different parted the town asking for accommoda-
tion.—Esser Herald.
THE WEATHER AND THE HARTEST.—The break
in the weather which occurred in the early part of lase
week was of an extent only sufficient to put a slight and
partial check to harvest operations. The rain which fell
was greatly wanted for the pastures sod root crops, sad
has been highly beaeticial, though a good deal more would,
for them, have been extremely acceptable. Notwithstami-
hag the long continued fine weather Um harvest is not no
near a coach:sloe as was anticipated. A vast clearance has
been made, and under the most favourable conditions pos-
sible, but there is yet no inconsiderable acreage to tie both
cut and carried. The end of the present week, however,
must see the close of the harvest in the district save
only in mere exceptional instance". Al regards
the result of the harvest, all opinions concur in
prossoundog it to be our of the bout in point of
quality we have been blued with for many yam;
whilst as to bulk it is decidedly beyond an average.
We hear nothing as to potato disease. As a rule, the ,lm-
pies are uuusually good. From the hop districts the returns
speak in more favourable terms than last week. The miss,
though all too alight for the requirements of the plant or
the desires of the planter', have cleaned and refreshed the
bine, and given it • fresh start ; and except where all
respect was gone and the plant in • positively
hopeless condition. considerable improvement has takes
place. In the good and well cultivated grounds the advaoce
is especially apparent, and many of our planters have the
prospect of gathering very productive growths.—Seasem
Adrert jeer.
COURTSHIP IN THE 19TH CENTORT.—Ou Satur-
day last the inhabitants of Eastbourne were amused by
singular intelligence, proclaimed by the "town crier," who,
having given the usual summons with the bell, nd his
clear and stentorian "Oh, yes," announced the fact—not
that a lady had lost her lover—but that she wished to ob-
bin It appears that the lady in question met • gen-
tleman in the bazaar held for the benefit of the Wu; rpm
Chapel Fund. The agreeable manners and personal appear-
apes of the gentleman so pleased the lady that she desired
• more private end prolonged interview, and being ign,raut
of the name and address of the gentleman. she called to Ler
aid the town crier to announce to the loved one that his
presence was requested en the Parade Lettuce the hoard
of eight and nine p.m.--Stirrer Standard.
THE PERIL.: or MOUNTAIN ASCENTS. —A letter
from Vii'ge. in the canton of Valais (Switzerland), states
that as two Euglish gentlemen (whore names are not given)
wan Lit week crowing a dangerous pass of the Simplon by
the glaciers of the Fletechborn, accompanied by two guides,
one of the latter fell into a deep movies. The putletnen
immediately sent the otherguide to Saaa, a distance of about
three leagues, to fetch ropes for the purpose of extricating
the poor fellow. who recovered "efficiently from the effect
