LETTER FROM MCCLELLANs Army
We publish in another column letter from Mr.
John D. Helm, of the 101st Regiment, Casey's
division, in which our readers will find q graph
ic description of the severe and bloody battle of
Fair Oaks. John was in the thickest of the

dreadful and trying day.
SOME STRAWBERRIES were pre-
sented, a few days ago, by Mr.. A. b, Cramer,
of this place, with a dish of very fine straw
berries raised by that gentleman In fact, we
believe they were the largest we ever saw and
very luscious into the bargain. A number of
them measured each Al inches in circumference.
Beat this who can.
NuMERous-the Republican patriots who
are willing toserve their country in the State
Senate. This county boasts Of at least four
candidates for the empty honor Of q Republi-
can nomination for that position. Among them
is our friend, G. w. Householder, who may get
the ccnferees from this ssunty as kind of
balm for the wounds inflicted upon him last
year by the leading Republicansof thisborough.
RETURNED.-Our jolly friend, o. d.
Shannon, Esq, and his estmable lady, return
cd ON Saturday evening last, from q pleasure
trip to Niagara Falls and the Eastern cities.
We missed the rotund countenance of the late,
''disloyal' candidate for school director, very
much, during his absence, and hope he will
not soon again inhict upon us such protracted
desertion.
IRON CRY COLLEGE, PITTsBURG, Pa
This Institution enables young men at the least
expense and shortest time to gain solid busi-
ness education for reliable accountants, in all
classes of business. That its superior merits
are appreciated by discerning public, is shown
by its being the largest and most popular Com
mercial School in the United Sta tes. We re-
commend it to the young men of Our county.
COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-The Democrat
ic County Convention will meet at the Court
House, on Tuesday next We hope that har-
mony and good feeling will characterize the sit
tings of~that body, that good men and sound
democrats will be nominated as candidates and
that the whole action of the Convention
will be such as will ensure sound drubbing to
the abolitionized republican disunionists who are
now, unfortunately, in possession ofthe roins of
government.
DRowNED.-On Friday last little son
of Mr.. David Border, Jr., of Sehellsburg, this
county, was drowned, while bathing in Mile
Hill Greek, little stream which flows near
that place. Hewas accompanied, at the time by
another lad, who, upon seeing his little comrade
sink, ran home Immediately for assistance, which
however, arrived too late The unfortunate
child was bright and promising boy, and it is
truly painful to record the sad circumstances of
his death.
SLANDERoUs.-That peculiarly dignifed
and singularly cool specimen of the genus ed-
tor, Simon Syntax, Esq, who presides over our
School Department, we observe, informs his
readers that 'this office has not "piece frac-
tions' enough to ''set up" certain solutions to
problems which he desires to publish. This is
positive slander, as we have enough of that
