The 4TH.-We learn that there is to be
a pic nie celebration got up for the 4th.-
The programme has not been announced.
A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script writing to that journal from the
White Mountains, under the date of June
lst, says that in some places on the great
ridge" the snow is thirty feet deep. and
that in TucEerman's ravine it is at least so
feet deep. He adds:
Doubtless August visitors will see spots
oft in the gullies of the stubbed, square
shouldered, dumpy Mount Adams. The
streams that sing along the base of these
cones carry ice-water into the Peabody
and the Androscoggin from the slowly
melting winter up aloft; and they bear the
whiteness of the fields that gave them life,
in the snowy caps which the rocks force
upon them, over which they dash and
brawl.

Beautiful River. We have grander and
more majestic streams, but none of such

But politicians of the South use slavery,
and politicians of the North use abolition,
for their own selfish purposes of scheming.
We desire to steer clear Of both, to wash
our hands Of the whole affair, and to direct
our energies to the furtherance of those
principles which are vital to our national
honor. prosperity and happiness. TO effect
this, let us be firmly united in support of
Americanism, and avoid the agitation of all

WHEAT IN R1CHLAND CouNTY.-Of the
grain in this old and well-tilled county, the
Mansfield Heraldsays Notwithstanding
the hope of our farmers that our wheat
was out of danger from the insect, it is
now discovered to be making great raya-
ges in many Of our best fields. We await
the harvesting with anxiety. Even par
tial failure in the wheat crop this year will
result in very great embarrassment TO our
whole community. Most of our farmers
bought their wheat aGd -four last year."
The WEEyIL-We are sorry to hear
great complaints from the farmers in this
neighborhood on account of the raYages of
the weevil Many fields of white wheat
will be more than half destroyed by this
insect The Mediterranean wheat may es-
cape serious damage. If we could only
have few days of warm sunny weather,
and if the rain wouldn't continue to rain
every day, our harvest would soon COM
mence, and, from all appearance, we would
have a good crop.-O. S. Journal.
