1t is worthy of remark that, with but two cr

recognized the necessity of reform in many

we learn, has been very general and large
quantities have fallen, particularly in the up.

to complain, rs We have been favored with
delightful fall and the crops generally
gathered. The rain. too. will probably bring
on an early frost, which can alone check the
