Mr. Bacon, in re ply to the presentation said, that this was thu second time in the past fortnight his house hat been forcibly entered and taken possession of and that he could not but consider this second visitation more agreeable to his feelings than thu first. He also stated that the presentation wa! all the more unexpected and gratifying to him as he was aware that many of his warmest friends including those about him, had not altogether sympathized with him in all he had been instru mental in doing in the late ministerial campaign
 The occasion appeared to be one of great grati' ication and satisfaction to Rev. Mr. $. and his friends.

 Tile apple crop promises an unusually abundant yield this year in Litchfeld. The trees arc loaded down with their fruit, and farmers say they have not generally had so large crop in prospect for many years before.
 --Speaking of apples-Mr. Harney re- quests us to state that our statement last week that his subscription was made for the benefit of Il. B. Graves, Esq, for his fable plea" is errone- ous It was made only with the intention of Dr. James Richards. and was q hand some present. We are sorry we haven't room for his card"
 "A few of our friends seem to give them- selves much unnecessary trouble concerning our late local items. It is very unhandsome for them to do so,-when we take so much pains to get aI that is of interest to the general public. We shall probably continue to use our best efforts to this purpose, rererentls and ir-rererends to tho contrary notwithstanding.

 Resotred That inasmuch as there does not now exist any cattle disease of a contagious pa- ture within the limits of this or the adioiniur counties Tn this State nor has at any time been any well attested case of Pleuro-Pneumonia or epidemic Cattle disease within these limits. we therefore find no good and satisfactory reason TOT the omission of our annual Cattle show and llrther as the annual State Fair will not ba h,,. den thls year, we believe that the interests c, Agriculture as well as of OUT County Society re- 4ure that it should take place as usuaI.and that the Secretary give notice that it will be held on the 3d and 4th days of October next. s,,d of- fer their liberal premium list to the conpctit,r.
