For the REPUBLICAN,.
CARMIcuAgLs.-- Not having the time to de-
vote to regular discussion of the many
topics of interest that come under observation,
will you allow budget of odds and ends, jun
bed together in an off hand manner. to in
wade your columns? II 50 here they arc,
pell nell. In your flying visit some weeks
brief notice--we were to some extent disap-
pointed, in not having our peculiar advanta-
ges served up to the world in tha most glow
ing terms of editorial compliment. Now,
we think, that We are great people, and o
course If others do not ''see it," and pander
to our vinities We think them selfish. Poor
human nature loves flattery, and in general,
the more it gets, the Rriter it Is But seri-
ously, thereare more improvements being mad
this season than for some years previous,
The building of the new g. p Church, indi-
Gates an Improvement for the future in the
style of public buildings, II reform much
needed. The church Is now under roof
finished with wide cornice; an octagon
belfry, surmounted by neat octagonal
pointed spire, with indices to the four points
of the compass, and of the wind. The church
is built in the pointed Gothic style. 1t is ex-
pected to have the basement finished ready
for use this fill.
The Presbyterian church is undergoing re-
pairs, new root, with wide cornice, adds
beauty and comfort to this otherwise old style
of building.
In the way of improving private dwellings
we may notice Messrs. Biddle, Knox. Hatha.
way, Wiley, Daugherty and others, who with
sundry paintings have removed much Of the
dingy appearance of this ancient town. The
old board side walks have been replaced by
substantial stone pavements. Business seems
on the increase, or at least our merchants are
making their shelves groan under heavier
stocks of goods than for years previous,
AS the season for Agricultural fairs is at
hand allow me to correct an impression that
many people have in reference to the Greene
County Agricultural Society. 1t holds its
meetings annually, and its exhibitions the
same although some maliciously disposed
persons have for a number of years reported
every Fair as "put off" This year the same
old lie is Matched up again by some one, and
industriously circulated, with reports Of sick
ness, to thus deter persons from visiting the
Fair. To all such / would say the Fair will
be held at the time appointed, unless notice
Is given in the county papers, and if you do
not take them, you will not be posted.
This political world is all quiet every one
secms ~ undiSturbed us though the ship of
State was gliding on an unrufl,d sea, instead
OF being steered by reckless hand amid the
shoals and breakers that have engulfed so
many Republics of the past. In fact q gencr
al apathy has stolen over everything even
our last chance of connection with the out
side werll by. railway has been shelved and
s.ems likely to remain so, unless spectators
from distance force it upon us, and then
reap all its profits
The weather still continues dry, and per
hsps do too, so will close G. w. u.
