To Ms Editor Of The Bsgis September !
opened upon us with all its characteristic beau /
ty. For three weeks past the weather has
been, for the most part, clear; the air cool and
bracing the sky little hazy. and the inAu-
enco of the atmosphere. after the unusually hot
summer just passed, delightfully."- invigorating.
The harvest has boon gathered; the orchards
are loaded to the ground with delicious fruits
the grape, the wheat, the corn and all products
Of the field surround us In rich abundance, and
the land, ut all times productive, yields the full
lest measure of reward ever given in one season
to the husbandman's toll As we passed the
large waving fields of corn in Hamilton, War
ron, Greene and Clarke counties, we saw con-
elusive evidence that the crop Of this great
staple Of the Miami Valley, though a little
backward, will be large one. Travellers from
the West assure us that in Indiana and the
best part of Illinois the growth has been vigor-
Gus and the crop good
No traveller can fail to be struck with the ex-
trcme fertility and beauty of tho country
through which the Little Miami Rail Road
passes. The soil is rich the land near the
river hilly, but as you proceed North beautiful
ly rolling, with every variety of scenery. The
Miami River winds through the valley, and you
pass along its side, or ever and anon catch
glimpses of it through the trees, which at this
time exhibit all their maturity OF foliage, COW
ering the hill-sides from base to summit. No
lover OF nature can pass on this route, even
with the present rapid mode of conveyance,
without being charmed with the tranquil beau
ty OF the scenery. And VIC cannot forbcor the
reflection that tho land is owned by the hard
working farmers whose neat dwellings and
luxuriant fields meet the eye, and whose toll is
making them richer, and advancing the real
wealth and prosperity OF the State The smile
OF God seems to res. upon this Stree soil,' and
the industrious men who till it, and his blessing
makes it tcem with "mik and honey the
F." finest of the wheat and the pure juice of the
grape the cattle upon the " thousand hills"
and widespread pastures.
The approaching State Fair to be held near
Cincinnati is "all the talk {" among the farmers
in this region. The time, as many of your
readers are aware, has been postponed from the
middle OF this month to tho second, third and
fourth days of October. Tho horticultural
and Mechanical exhibitions are to be held at the
same time, so that large representation of all
the interests concerned may be expected -
There will be a large number Of cattle brought
to tho Fair; those engaged in raising the best
blooded stock in tho Miami and Scioto valleys
and between will bcsv very generally in sttcn-
dance to show their cattle and compete for pre-
iniums. We shall be disappointed if it is not
the finest display of this kind ever Witnessed
in tho Western countryi alike honorable to
the State and encouraging to future effort.
This season has been an abundant one for
fruit in this section of the State. We have
Pears and Apples in usual variety and
quantity, and Peaches arc unusually plentiful
In no previous year has the Peach been SO
abundant or SO superior in size and flavor as the
present season. Never before were such great
quantities taken to the Cincinnati markets nor
offered in such profusion ard cheapness at eve
ry corner and in every fruit shop and grocery.
The prices have ranged from 90 cents to 81 90
per bushel at one dollar very good peach
can be bought, but the fruit brings much more.
The richest peaches have seen have been
f grown on the farm from which / write,
and have brought from 81 to 50, in Colum-
bus. Tho great orchard of Mr.. J. G. Davis,
near Milford, and about l6 miles from Cincin-
natl, has furnished great part of the best peach
cs for that market. This orchard consists o.
100 acres of land, and about II thousand peach
trees. of 80 or 40 varieties. The trees were
brought out from New Jersey and set out three
years ago last spring. They have grown finely,
and will average bushel or moro to each tree
The proprietor expects to sell about 10 thousand
bushels of peaches the present season.
The Rail Road from Cincinnati to Xcnia has
been good one, but needs new rail. 1t is now
being relaid with the I rail, and when the car.
now and then get a section laid with it, it il
felt as an agreeable change by every traveller
From Xenia to Columbus the new Raj
Road (opencd last wintcr) is a splendid one
equal indeed to any in the Union. 1t is lait
with the most substantial T rail, has no curves
Of any consequence, and tho cars have an un
usually easy motion, taking you on at the rat,
of from 25 to 40 miles an hour. The distanc,
) from Columbus to Xenia, 81 miles, has beer
5 run over repeatedly in less than an hour and
half. Before the commencement of tho mex
r summer season Of travel, the line from Colum
bus to Cleveland will be finished, when thi
route will be tho popular one for eastern travel
being more direct than that by Sandusky, re
quiring less steaming on the Lake, and passin
through the State Capitol and Cleveland-nex
