A BIG SCARE. Showing a friend through
our fruit garden las Sunday, and lingering q
| moment at a pear tree, an alarmed frog made a
blind leap, clean into TIE very biggest part of
our pantaloons. Since the time-thirty Years
ago-when we snatched hand full of hot pop
ped corn from our little sister, and hurried it
into the wrong door of our litte breec hes, we
have not had SO big boo nor so lively time

and after leading him into a barn, exhibited a
rope and limited him to give three cheers for
Lincoln. to which he heartily responded. Then
followed three cheers tor Scott and three for
the Union, under the same circumstances, all

Rome was burning, has, until 1861, stood an
unrivaed exhibition of human baseness and
ingratitude. And yet it does not appear that
he fiddled because his own Capitol was in flames
His was only an exhibition of utter heartless

Of lnet ycor.-f'rcScott Transcript
The harvest is nearly ended in this section
of the State, and so far as we can ascertain, the
yield has been nearly an average crop. The
berry, in this county, is not generally as full as
usual, but the fact of moIe land beng sown tc
wheat than ever before, gives larger amount
in gross. Oats will be a full yield, but only
about two thirds crop; corn about three
fourths; potatoes large. At any rate, the
farmers of Outagamie have done nobly, and
they may well feel proud of the results of theil
labor.-AppLetOn Crescent
