FAMILIAR SIGHTS.

Who does not know that the strangcst things

portion to the frequency Or the familiarity
with which we are brought in contact with
them? The Beautiful of the Past is but the
Common lace Of the Present, and a single
d,v will turn to Indifference the Wonder of
its predecessor. The humhlcst village aboun.s
in incidents, which would Furnish poor devil

community: if sent ont into the high ways and
by ways, would do much to strengthen and
cheer the poor children of misfortune, pow
crty and crime, and bring to the wedding
supper Of the Lord many poor suffering son
and daughter Of Adam. whom sin and s"rlow
had rendered MAIN. and halt, and blind.
THUS, kind reader, have ! thought, or
rather tancicd, as | sat beside the window Of
my little room, looking out upon the quiet
citizens Of our town as they pass and rcpass.
And fancying thus it has occurred y me to
sketcl for vour amusement few Of those
sfamliar sights which you meet almost
daily, without, perhaps: giving them mo-

THE .JIIL IS FULL,

So the newspapers have been telling us for
fortnight past, and when, we pray, did these
same newspapers fail to inform us of the
tunes Of mankindi The murder, the rob
berry and the fatal accident are faithfully re-
corded; not one Of their disgusting details,
which serve to show how low poor human
nature may fall in degradation and guilt, or
to what pains it is subject, are ever omitted.
But the struggle against poverty, the struggle
against temptation, or the still harder struggle
against the hearts decctfulness-lct these
be unrecordcd. Flaunt mockinsly in the face
of the struggler every failure Of his fellows,
but be careful how you tell him Of one VIII"
has gained the victory over the world and
over SELF lest he be encouraged by his broth
er's example.
But the Jail is full-and full Of what, my
reader Full of men like you and I-chil-
!rtn Of the same great family; ayc very
brothers. In that room is man, heavily
ironcd, who sat at the same desk with You at
school, and to whom the future oleacd quite
as promisingly as it did to you. But this
morning you are happy and free, with '.the
world all bright before yon," while he, poor
fellow, is the inmate of prison, with the
pcntcntary staring him full in the face. And
why this difference between you Can you
not look back to the time, when some pow
erlul temptation hid from your eyes the true
and the beautiful ?-when, forgetting every
restraint, you listened only to the voice Of
Passion, and, when at last you wakened to q
sense of your great danger, how your very
soul tremblcd, and you well nigh despaired
ofever being able to returni The wilderness
Of sin nd death from which you emerged
wiser and better man, he has made ''local
habitation," for the pillar of fire and cloud,
which guided you from its gloomy labyrinths,
never rose upon his bcnighted vision. Stand
ing upon your moral Pisgah and looking down,
it may be in scorn, upon your guilty fellow
man, You are thanking God that you arc
..better than hc.' There is II far better
prayer than that my rcader:-"Lcad us not
into tcmptation!''

Shipments Of GrGin-1hc Tvieties Of Wheat
sora ia -Peacaes-Guaao-
DEcatcry-CGmp Meetings. &c.
MIR. EDITOR There were shipped from
Winners Point last week 6O00 bushels of
grain, all wheat except 500 bus. corn. The
wheat crop in the upper part of Kent is about
an average one. The varieties grown here are
the Mtdi crrancan, the ''Vclvct' and the
Gale" the first being considered most Ger.
tain is more generally sown, and weighs this
season from So to e. lbs. The farmers say
if the Velvet hits it produces largely, but
it is not heavy wheat and is subject to vari-
Gus casualties which render the yield un:cr
tain. The Gale lisa new variety-thc grain
large and white. 1t turned out remarkably
well this season and will be much sought ar
ter for seed.
The growing corn crop, which few weeks
ago promised so well, will be cut short by the
drouth. 1t is reported that in the adjoining
counties of Queen AIMS and Caroline the
corn is so much parcllcd they have com:nenc.
ed taking fodder.
The Pcac: crop, though not 50 large as in
some years, is not failure in this section
and the high prices obtained makes the bust
ness more lucrative than usual Some orchards
have produced from three to four hunCl. ed
lpll.,rs worth to the acre, and il prices con.
tin,Ic as good through the season as they have
bcca-;hc receipts from the "Cussalny" farm
will be a handsome fortune.
We are about introducing new variety of
guano, called 'stiie Mcxi:an. which seems to
be, from analysis, hcar;iclr farmers have been
seeking for. Containing the properties Of
bones, its application in connection with Pc
ruyian, promises to secure permanent fertility
to the soil.
Dyscntcry prevails TO some extent in the
county. Physicians say that bilious fever
which some years since was thought to be the
scourge Of the county has, to very great OK
tent, given place to the former disease.
Camp MEETING is now in progress in Queen
AIMS. A camp on this peninsula differs
in some features. from those held in some
other localities. There arc not so many large
tents, usually called Union" tcnts-and the
tent holders don't make it manifest, las in
some plaess,) that they don't intend to ac-
connnolatc others; but, on the contrary, there
i, rivalry who can accommodate the most
and do it the best 1t is the real place for
whole-souled genuine Maryland hospitality

word for it, let them come and see. F.

ROwLANDSyILLE, Aug. %,


DEAR RIcKErrs II am glad to say that
Notwithstanding the reports from many parts
of our county Of Dysentery and other forms OF
disease, our immediate vicinity enjoys rcas-
enable good health.
The Susquehanna river continues unplece-
dcntedly low and should this continue much
longer we fear the consequences along the
river. Already some cases of fever, of very
stubborn character have occurred in the vi
cinity of the river, and the opinion of our best
physicians is that without free use Of the Ian
Get many patients will be lost.
We have had no rain for some days and
never were the roads SO dusty. Farmers can,
not pillow so dry is the ground at this time,
and preparations for seeding are in conse-
qucnce, much retarded.
The corn crop believe is quite out of dan
ger, particularly that which was planted car
ly and have not seen more flattering pros
pcct for heavy yield for some years.
Some excitement prevails at this time here
on account of mad dogs which arc said to be
going to and fro, biting such dogs and hogs
as happen to be in their way. There have
been number of both bitten within few
days, but hope the dogs are not rabid.
Know Notlrngism is gaining some popu.
larty in our Observation-Disclosures has no
advocates here. Yours, p.
