FIELDS OF BUCKWHEAT.
BY SYBIL CULVER.


Winds Of August softly blow
Der the buckwheat's scented snow,
Bring with dainty, flying feet
Waves of incense pure and sweet.
Month Of royal blooming flowers,
Month Of warm slow dropping showers,
Love YOU? yes your golden light
Fills the heart with visions bright
And with holy peace.
Fields Of buckwheat snowy white,
Drifts of sweetness, folds Of light,
Sitting here this summer day,
Thought floats idly far away
To a valley green and fair
Where such perfume fills the air,
And such fields are widely seen
With the meadow-lots between
Making patchwork gay,
Oh, the elm trees dropping low
Where the meadow lilies grow,
Never did a picture seem,
Perfect in a poets dream,
Save an elm trees graceful shade
Beauty for the landscape made,
Witching beauty such as lies,
Blue and still meath summer skies,
In an August noon.
Ever when the waves of life,
Cease to war with toll and strife,
These, we say are August calms,
Sweet with dor-breathing balms,
And we see the liquid gold
burning brightly as of old,
Til We sigh, oh! welcome guest
Stay forever, We would rest
In these peaceful calms.
Winds Of August gently blow
Ger the fields Of scented snow,
If a breath Of rare perfume
Fill again my lowly room,
| shall dream the sweetest dream
Ever poet eye hath seen
Something Of the flowers that spring,
Something Of the birds that sing,
Near the gates of bliss.
Fields of whiteness, fields of sweet,
Where the dew and blossoms meet,
Dearest love | ever knew
In my ehildhood's sunny blue,
This one wish, used to keep
might softly fall asleep
Sleep forever cold and dead,
Buckwheat blossoms DER my head,
And | wish it still.

THE NEGROES STILL TREATED AS SLAVES IN
NORTH CARoLINA-The Wilmington (N. C. }
Herald Of the 10th, says the investigation
made by Generals Ames, Duncan, aud Col.
Donellan, shows that the negroes in Fayet-
teville North Carolina, and vicinity have
been cruelty treated by not only civilians,
were tied up and publicly whipped by the
sheriff others were left tied until storm
Frustrated the trees to which they were
tied, holding them to the ground until they
were relieved. Citizens, too, have presum-
ed to exercise the authority Of masters
over these people, and punish them as they
saw fit 1t is also said some Of the negroes
have been killed. Troops are now under
orders to proceed to the locality to put a
stop to the abuses

PAINTED ANGELS AT SARAToGA-A newspa-
per correspondent has had his feelings ter
ribly shocked at Saratoga Springs, and thus
explains the cause:
"For one whole week my most ardent
sympathies were excited at the sickly, Ian
guild appearance of a young lady who had
seat directly opposite me every day at
the dinner table; her form was emaciated
her skin perfectly transparent, and a death
like hue seemed to pervade the whole at
mosphere about her the eye shonc Nth
unnatural brlliancy, and under them was
perceptible the inevitable blue-black color
ing-the tell-tales of debauchee long
ed for an Introduction, that | might recon-
mend the application of fresh oysters or a
blood-sucker but failing at an opportunity
to secure this privilege, | besought a lady
friend to suggest these applications " La
me-" she exclaimed, in utter amazcment,
"why how verdant you are don't you
know that the lady paints her lower eye
lids 2" 1t was indeed too true as | have
since ascertained positively. She for who
my whole soul has yearned in sympathy
for week, was daubed all over with paint,
and most shockingly disfgured herself to
crafty a pNrient taste to be in the eX
treme of fashion. Looking around me at
the dinner table to-day | saw no less than
six ladies disfgured by daub Of blue
black paint on the lower eyelids. The next
fashion possibly may require ladies to wear
rings in their noses. 1t is bad enough to
wear paste diamonds and pinchbeck jewel
ry but when earth's angels begin to paint
about the eyes, wear false busts, and false
hair in a bag behind their heads, to what
extremes may we not expect the dear crea-
lures to go.

THE GREAT MISFORTUNE.

Lunch was just over. Some had left the
table, others were about leaving. The
scientific gentlemen had very much cheered
us by their stating that they believed the
fault was only six miles away, and so ere
dead night falls we might hope to have the
fault on board, make a new splice, and pro
ceed on our way to Hearts Content, geo
graphically about six hundred miles away.
Suddenly Mr. Canning appeared in the sa-
loon, and in manner which told all, said,
1t is all over. 1t is gone )" then hastened
onward to his cabin. Ere the thrill of sur
prise and pain occasioned by those words
had passed away, Mr. Field came from the
companion into the saloon and said with
composure admirable under the circum.
stances, though his lips quivered and his
cheek was blanched, "The cable has parted
and has gone overheard .. ...
All were on deck in a moment, and there
| indeed glance revealed the truth.

Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1865-08-31


Previous to doing so two cuts were made
in the cable, the first near the old splice,
between the main and the fore tanks
Cable all right The second cut was three
miles on board, which showed the fault to
be overheard The wire rope and the chain
wire were secured to the cable forward,
which shows maximum strain of twenty
three and half hundred weight and at
five minutes past nine O'Clock, Greenwich
time, the cable was severed and went over
the stern, one thousand one hundred and
sixty-six miles having been payed out
when the end splashed into the water.
The picking up was, as usual, exceedingly
tedious, and one hour and forty-six minutes
elapsed before one mile was got on board
Then one of the engines eccentric gear got
out of order, so that a man had to stand by
with a handspike, aided by wedge of
wood and elastic band, to assist the engine.
Next the supply of steam failed, and when
steam was got up it was found that there
was not water enough in the boilers, and
so the picking up ceased altogether Then
occurred

ANOTHER DEFECT DISCOVERED.

At 5:35 a. NJ ShlpS time, the paddles
were stopped, and at 5.45 the ship was
stopped by orders from the electricians
room. In fact, at eight \. NJ, Greenwich
time, or minute after, whilst the electri-
clans were passing the first of the half
hourly signals of currents to the shore, the
galvanometer suddenly detected flow of
electricity which indicated a serious fault
The test gave no result as to locality, for
the fault was very varying but it was
generally believed to be not far from the
stern of the steamship. 1t appears that
while Mr. Cyrus Field was on the watch in
the tank, a little before the time of the ac-
cident, grating noise was audible as the
cable flew over the coil astern. One of
the experienced hands Immediately said,
There is a piece of wire" and called to
the lookout man above to pass the informa-
ton aft but no notice appears to have
been taken of the circumstance. After the
ship was stopped, and the remainder of
fake paid out, piece of wire was seen
projecting out of the cable in the flake, I'M
derneath that in which the fault was sus-
pestcd to exist, and on one Of the men ta-
king it i'll his fingers and trying to bend it
down, the wire broke short off 1t was
nearly three inches long, and had evidently
been Of hard, ill-tempered metal which had
flown out through the threads in the tank
The discovery was in some measure a re-
lief to the mems minds thlt one certainly,
and possibly the second of the previous
faults might have been the result of acci-
dent 1t was remarked, however, that this
fault occurred in the same watch as all the
previous ones had. The fault was too seri-
Gus to be overlooked, and as there was
difficulty in detecting its situation, prepa-
rations were ma de to get the pickingup
apparatus ready.

~ CRcPs.-It has been found that
while the grape crop in some of the vine.
yards in this vicinity has been totally de.
destroyed by the late frost, there are few
that have escaped altogether, owing to
favorable location or other protecting in
aueUce. We clip the following from the
Pittsburgh Gazette, as an indication of the
prospects of our neighbors:
At meeting of the Horticultural Socie-
ty yesterday On interchange of views took
place between the members relative to the
stare of the fruit crop, from whf:h we
gather that there will be a fair crop of
grapes, but no early varieties, that there
will be an abundant crop of straw berries,
and fair crop of cherries in certain locsli-
tiesi that the prospect for full crop of
rasPbtrries ia good; that there will be &
good crop of plumbs, but there will be a
light yield of pears and apples. 1t has
been definitely settled that the annual ex-
hi6ition of Fruits and Flowers will take
place on the l4lh OF June next. Mr.. Chess,
chairman OF the committee on premiums.
Will announce the list in due time, whilst
Messrs. George R. White, Rev. Bacon aud
Aisj Gen. Jas. s. Negley, Committee oil
Arrangements, will see to it that all thinRt
are In readiness for the exhibition.

success in manufacturing establishment,

the most prosperous of these Institutions.
Although but recently put in operation it

ring OF the workman's hammer is heard

caIity. This firm manufactures steam en-
gioes of different patterns and have fur
nished quite q number to the borers of the
the oil regions. We notice one style of
engine which we believe is peculiar to the
establishment, and which seems especially
adapted to the wants Of those engaged in
the oil business, or in fact to any one who
wants cheap, compact and portable
steam engine. 1t is gotten up on the same
principle of the locomotive. The fre-bed,
boiler, stock and engine are all attached
together and mounted on trucks, pro.
Vided with tongue and double trees
so that q team may be hitched
on at the shop or any other place, and
transported to any spot or locality desired,
and wherever it is stopped, 1t is at once
ready for operation. The arrangement is
go complete and simple that any person of
ordinary intelligence can easily operate
one of these engines, which also have the
advantage of occupying but very little
space. Mr.. Addison, one of the proprie-
tors of the shop, is practical mechanic
and a thorough workman. Previous to
embarkiug in his present enterprise he was
engaged as foreman in the extensive ma
chine shops of the Baltimore i Ohio Rail.

be filled by frst class mechanic We can

gives assurance that the proprietors are
finding ample employment for their hands
and machinery.
