THE CKoPs.-Since our last issue, we have
been favored with a number of refreshing
showers, which have given 4 new impulse to
vegetation of every description. The wheat
and rye have improved considerable, and it is
now hoped, unless some new calamity befalIs
them, that there will be near three -fourths of
crop. The corn, P,wever, we are told, is
injured more than was supposed. Much of it
has rotted in the ground, and will die. Re-
planting will be necessary, but as the season
is far advanced, this will scarcely have time
to mature properly. An unusual quantity of
buckwheat is being sowed, and upon the
whole, it is probable we will have as much as,
last season.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-An accident occurred
In Brady township last week, at barn raising,
whereby Reuben, youngest son of Judge Bon

from the top of the barn, struck him on the
back between the shoulders, crushing him to
the ground. DR.. Boyer was soon upon the
spot, and administered restoratives, and the
young man is now thoughtto be out of danger

The above speaks for ITSELF We will, however, direct
particular attention FIRST the fact that while the cost
of these Engh roads has been the average I've times
that of american lines they still pay enormous sums
by way Of interest bonds and prefernce shares and
with exception pay fair dividends to ter stockholders
few years ago. most Of these roads wte broken down
just as the bulk OF our roads were in 1857.
II was then generally stated and blieved that the
era Of railroad property WIS over; that the roads
we're irretrievably bankrupt, ami that nothing
left for the stockholders but ruin The consequence
Of this precisely what the revuon caused here.
Economy and wholesome management were applied to
the roads, and after another they'll revived so tho
roughly that notwithstanding the endmous squan
dered on their constructon and Notwithstanding the
commercial sagnation Of 1858, ting able in Chat
year pay interest expenses and per cent div
dends ID We desire to draw attenbn the fact that
with few exceptions these roads ars~orked for less than
atty per cent Of their gross earnings Before the revu
sion roads cost from sixty TO eighty per cent Of their
earnings to work them. The Mchgn Southern, for in.
stance about seventy Eve per ce The above exhb
shows how far expenses may be curtsd when economy
is seriously desired 3D. The price which the stock Of
these roads is ceiling presents striking contrast TO the
prices commanded by railway stockton this country.

deba for the week ending Saturday last presents the
following changes, as compared wshhe previous week.

pea On account the general holiday, at christ
mas, we shall issue no paper next week. Printers
of all other people in the world ought to be permit
ted to enjoy n holiday, once in while. Their la
hor is almost mccssant and they can enjoy but lit
tie of the pleasures of the outside world Of assoc
alton with their fellow-men. The four walls Of the
printng-oflice generally bound their movements,
and the ciick click, of the types alone breaks the
thoughts, or with his mind absorbed in meditation
on the brain-produCt of others, he labols on in
silence, knowing but little of the busy turmoil out
doors.
Thus the printer lubors, from week to week, and
from year to year,-all for the enjoyment Of others,
and when, oncc-a- year, Christmas comes. atfording
him a little recreation, and outdoor pleasure, mean
must be the heart of him who would grudge him
these enjoymens.
Next week, then we Nndour co-ahorcrs upon the
Chronicle design to take our annual holiday, and if
any Of our friends know Of II nice party, or n we'd
ding, or pretty girl or any other good thing that
", can get 10 60 to- they will please let us know, at
once; aud we will put on storc-cloilcs, grease
oar char, and embrace the prollered pleasurc--par-
tculGrly fil is the one last named.
Week after next after our Chr 'tmos holiday, we
vii issu' our paper as usual, and regularly, after
that do all we can to make the Chronicle accept
able and useful weekly visitor to our patrons.
