scribers are coming in, but there is room
for more. Let us have the list doubled
and see if you don't get your moneys
worth? Look at the 1elegraph-compare
it with ether county papers-show it to
your neighbors-circulate it. We KNOW
it will be taken if it is brought into notice.

ES"We commend to our readers the ar
ticie entitled "The Philosophy of Compo-
sitiou," on the first page Of our paper. 1t

These who have read Poe's account of
the manner in which his celebrated poem,
"The Raven" WAS composed, will be able
to appreciate the exquisite irony Of The ar

perceptions of the ludicrous to be very
acute; and that he has facility of express
sion which, if rightly cultivated, will place
him among our raciest writers. He will
be regular contributor hereafter, and il
we mistake not, the columns of the "Tel-
cgraph" will be graced with contributions
ola more solid cast from the same pen.

the unusual heat OF the season. A scve
drought is felt throughout nearly u

one hundred years. The crops are co
siderably affected by it. The draught
felt severely in some parts of Eltglan

are very fine. In Spain, the harvests ha
seldom been more promising.
