Mr.. Eddor,-- again give you a few dot
ting> from this. the garden ,unty ofthc state.
The farmers are principally done seeding,
and are busted in saving their corn crop,
which bids fair to be considerably above an
average Yields. Some expect to raise five thou
sand bushcl: indeed the spirit of Improvement
is So rife. that nothing can rctald the onward
march Of agricultural improvement. This is
evident, when we con.idcr the great quan,-
ties of lime other fertilizers that are used
along the river. There has been not less than
two hundred thousand bushels of lime landed
on the Sassatras river within the last twelve
months, most of which has been furnished by
the Rennacly's Of PHILADELPHIA Old Kent is
small in surface but she is undoubtedly rich
in agricultural productions, which is cyilcn-
ccd by the desire manifested by strangers to
purchase lands h,rc, who believe that they
get bargains even at one hundred and twenty
dollars per acre; in fact lhuc are fans
here that will bring greatly above that price.
Kent can loast Of another advantage over
some of her sister counties. namely, the cs-
tablshmcnt of Primary Schools. The Cit
zcns here, believe that education affords the
most certain, and eftgctual means of develop
ing the Industrial resources Of Il country. and
promoting its growth and prosperity Free
dom is doubtless indispensable to the largest
development even of wealth; but, unless it be
combined with the diffusion of knowledge a.
mong the people. and with the refined tastes
and orderly habits induced by education it
will degenerate into vice and dlcncss: and
employ itself, and now in the washing of
prosperity, and now in obstrvcting the best
means of increasing it.
The facilities for travelling arc greatly in
creased, since the completion Of tie rail road
to Middletown. Those having business in
Philadelphia can by leaving here at three A.
NJ. arrive in the city and have some six hours
! to transact their business, and return home
that evening have been informed that
gentleman in Smyrna intends running s. age
| to meet the steamer for Bait. which leaves
here on every Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day returning on alternate days Should such
an anrangcmt 90 into operation, it would
certainly be the means of increasing the bus
mess in this place. for where the people 90,
trade will also 60.
Politics are notIso rabid here as in other
sections of the state, yet Notwithstanding it
is amusing to hear those rool dped dcmocrts,
who. during the lifetime of the lamcntcd
Clay, Webster, and other Shining lights of
repuhcanism, thought no epithct too severe,
no scandal too vile. to circulate in order that
they might dctract from them the homage
that was justly being paid, them now, APP
preaching the members Of the old wing party
and with blandness Of speech, telling them
| that there actually exists no state or national
measure but what concerning which they
were inunison Of opinions: thus'solicitng and
i'll many cases securing their assistance to de-
feat The measures Of those giant intellects,
who SO nobly advocated their rights: Oar
citizens wore harangucdla last evening by Mcssrs
| Moore x Scott, dandidatcs of the nnion party
and by Cap Marriott tGanyasscrfor DR.. Show
cr,l each told his story well iu;crmrgling
with it the usual abusive personalities.
The latter gentleman appears deeply inter
eslcd for the success of his employer, DR..
Shower; but from what VIC can learn Of the
character and standing Of Mr. Ricaud VIC
think lie will do well at home, and we say to
the citizens Of Cecil give him your undivided
support, fer he il IN every way worthy Of it!
De GRANGE.
