this section of country was just in the heighth
of the watering season, and every nook and
corner capable of accommodating visitor
was full. Now it presents very different
aspect. The summer is past, and We are no
longer afflicted with the heat and its accom-
panyins animated pests, and although we
can no longer complain of these, yet that
does not leave us without peg to hang
complaint upon, for the weather has sudden
" changed from fiery heat, to the cold,

seekers have returned home, and the Flora
McFlmseys are now doing the Grclan bend
ON Fifth Avenue and Broadway; by the
way. have YOU any Blenders in Elkton? Il
mean Grecian,) have no doubt but that
the Camel has been with you. heard a
very amusing remark made the other day,
Iy an old country gentleman he said he
had seen more broken back ladies since he
had been in New York than he had seen be-
fore in the whole course of his life.
But New York has another novelty now.
The Grecan is getting stale, and fashion Is
about to try its hand at the " Montreal Wrg-
rle." What do YOU think of the name =
The bows on the streets sing out, - There
goes a 'Bender!"' when they see the Gre,
clan; and | suppose when the Montreal
comes to be freely practiced they Will say,
"There goes aWriggler.
Another trouble is that since the warm
weather has passed, and po''lcians can
swell up and blow without any very great
danger of melting down or blowing up, we
have been treated to several windy haran-
ones Inv the celebrated Brick" Of the New
York democrat, assisted by corps of in
terior bricks, some of them pretty well burnt,
and others in perfectly green state but

Democrat and - Hand Organ notoriety is
the bow for the Democracy here They
swear by him, and swallow his pills whole.
If he were to tell them that the Fourth OF
July Platform was framed by the Almighty
and handed down from heaven. they would
firmly believe it. They cry death to Repub-
licanism. and each separate man OF them
would like be the executioner OF the party.
They are as bad as old Daddy Slow VINO
said, IS That any man who would set hre 10
a barn ought to lie kicked TO death by
jackass, and he would like to be the one to
do it." The Democracy had a. the last
election about the same majority IN TINS
county as they had in Cecil; but 1t Is very
easily accounted for when you calculate the
number of unwashed employed upon the
truck farms. and in the brick yards hcrea-
bouts. They are landed in New ork, prop

The farmers in this neighborhood have

failure of the fruit crop. Truck and small
fruits of every description have been very
