Come and see Look At our poor far
mers with each from 1000 to 1900
bushels of wheat in his granery,; q corn
crib as big as from here to yonder, full to
the top, and no pace 70 put the balance !;
with not half pigs enough to eat it,. The
Illinois: Gourd- seed does not ripen here,
Tut the King Philip and many other vari-
cites yield very largely. Unless our far
mers raise more hogs, corn will be drug.
Oux Di.adpantage..-First and
foremost, Moccasinr politicians, who have
ruled the State to the verge of ruin, and
50 corrupted public morals that the idea
Of honesty. in public men is laughed: at
as the ;chimera of 2 madman's brain
They have. sauandered the public money !;
ruined the public credit !; robbed the PEI
pie by wildcat banks until, State and
County Bonds generally, arc. worth from
nothing up to fifty cents on the dollar
The People have elected a = new set Of
Officers, and hope for an improvement. j;

that one must break it with ashes before
Fit will wash clothes. The men have taken
to growing tobacco; and they nearly all
chew or smoke. Apples are scarce !; but
we use cranberr;es instead. Weeds grow
very fast !; sometimes the frost kills the
Fsquash vines before the seeds arc ripe ;
and-and-and-well, we, cannot think Of
|anything else, except that there is no coal;
TINT the wood does not grow in stove
lengths, but has all to be chopped; that
fpeople bake their bread in. stoves, instead
Eof brick ovens; that i the women swear
