IGP On Wednesday morning last we
were favored by one of the most ref eshing rains
Of the season. The fields and gardens became
parched up and vegetation was suffering severe
ly, but this rain has revived corn and potatoes,
and given promise of this portion of the antici-
pated harvest 1t is to be feared that in some
instances, wheat and oats have been injured in
being Frustrated by the tempest and heavy fall
of water.
Ez5@ We were in error last week in our
statement in relation to the position occupied
by S. Park Coon, Esq, who was present at the
Convention of Farm Mortgagors held in this
city week ago yesterday. Mr.. Coon is the
Attorney for the Mortgagors, instead of the
Mortgages, and was acting in that capacity on
the occasion referred to. AS soon as we learn
ed our mistake it was corrected. so that the er-
roneous statement run through but small por-
ton of our regular edition.
Theft.-On Monday night, the 9th inst,
the granary of c, G. Griggs, in the village of
Hubbeton, was broken into and robbed of q
set of double harness and q single harness, to-
gether with some little articles lying around
loose, Of no very great value. A couple of
clothes lines in the neighborhood were also
stripped of their contents at the same time.
and probably by the same party. No clue
has been obtained to the perpetrators of the
theft.
GgD@ A correspondence is certain to ex-
list between the human exterior and interior,
the mind and the dress. Believing this, sensi-
bic men 90 to Messrs Fisher and Rohr's Clothing
Establishment, at which they are sure to find
the best of material manufactured in the most
thorough manner and the best style. Those
who favor these gentlemen with their custom
will find them both agreeable and obliging, as
welllas punctuai in their engagements
a More painful still must it be, to
insu Il property against fire, and after it has
beeI consumed fail to obtain the insurance
money, because the company was not reliable

against such a contingency we recommend the
reader to obtain policy of the Quaker City In
surance Co., of Philadelphia, by which his loss
will be sure to be reasonably and equitably ad-
justed as we know from the best of sources
