But little of importance has transpired with us
since my last, except that times are still getting
worse, currency more miserable, II possible, and
prospects fading TO mere shadow. Some think
the State government will, this winter, make des-
peraie efiort-raise the means either by g hook
by crook"-comIlete the remaining 81 miles of

Client an talented engineer In charge, says he WIZ
agree 10 lnish 1t, so boat can pass through, Tor

purchasing II back al some future period, Nc.; or
dbandonu entirely The former we have no obec-
lions TO, all we want the of the canal, no
matter TO whom II belongs, long they keep II In
good repair, and are not extravagant In tolls. The
latter we most imperatIvely protest against Tor,
throwing local feeling entirely aside, we h I'VE
State pride enough To desire 10 see Pennsylvania
complete her own improvements. However, should
the worst come the worst, we have naIurc's caua
(Lake Erle) on one side, and Can go 10 New YORK
Instead OF Phlladelpha, and thanks to the balance

am much pleased to see the extensive iron,
woolen, tanning, and other manufactures recently
established here, driving SO fiue a business. Large
quantities OF manufactured ARTICLES have been ship
ped from here this season, and the demand still
continues 10 increase. This looks like getting out

loans to the contrary Notwithstanding
Nothing new IN the bank way. The branch is in

Much uneasiness Is ielt by our farming commu-

they have had cause; tor the first lnllnaton they
had OF such claim, was the arling iact OF their
lands being advertised tor sale. However, as The
whole proceedings are postponed until alter the
meeting OF the Legislature and - the lien is In favor
OF the state, presume clenency will be shown our
worthy farmers, and they suffered to remain In

The fall seeding was done up early, in order, if
possible, to avoid the rust OF next year The corn
crop rather short, owing tc the late spring and ear
ly frost. Vegetables and fruit abundance. We
are much troubled OF late with our harbUr. Owing
to the 0lapdated state OF the PIERS and The general
tall OF water In the lakes, there bur scant oeph
water tor the admission OF the largest Class OF steam
ers and vessels over the bar. H.wever, The GeneI-
al Government are at last getting their eyes open 10
the importance OF the lake harbors, and have made
some small appropriations for repairs. Twelve thou
sand dollars has been allotted 10 This place, and this
winter a much more liberal sum may be expected.
Also, eIe long, we will Zee our beautiful bay what
II ID destined 10 be-, the pride Of the lake.
The rise and tall vi water In these lakes, Is most
singular freak OF Dame Nature. II has never been
satisfactorily accounted Tor, and should be much
pleased TO hear one Of our knowing ones descant

the Wings have had clear majority OF over lOOO
IN the county for this ten years. However, they
like all other parties when long in the ascendency,
have got corrupt The whole affairs OF the party
have been managed for years by knot or clique OF
aspiring politicians, located mostly in town. The
