Mr. Editor Since my letter Of last week
the rains have descended plentfuly and put
stop to the croaking about the failure of the
wheat and oats as well as the hay crop. with
(the probability OF both man and beast having
70 live OH short allowance. An unusually
large crop has been secd,d Of both corn and
potatoes.
The Susquehanna also rose on Saturday
night last to good rafting order and has at.
forded several days of fine rafting, giving ed
ditional facilities for the lumber men to bring
their trt assures to market. Much lumber and
timber has como through by way of the river
to Port Deposit. The old canal has passed
number of RATS also, but scarcely half villa,
1t would had it been in good navgable con-
dition. 1t seems to me great mistake in
Nhc company to allow this once great thor
oushfare for lumber to remain in its present
condtlon--no person uscing it who can pos
sibly avoid it.
There was white frost two mornings in
succession this week in this nciglborhood,
but have not heard Of any serious conse
quences from it. Vegetation is sprinsins
forward with mushroom rapidty. p.

SAMIN Arkansas. The Camden Herald
"a Pierce and Forncy organ) says: 1--WE have
been informed, from what we conceive to be
reliable source, that tins new Order, which
has created such terror and dismay among
politicians in the old States, is now making
rapid progress in our own State, and that in
all probability a majority of the voters of the
State belong to the Order. 1t is well ascer-
tanned fact that in some Of the counties in
South Arkansas two-thirLs Of the voters are
Know NotAngs. 1t is greatly to be feared
that they will hereafter carry every election
in the State, from Governor down to town
