SOUTH FoRK CoAL-Nn home subject
more deeply interests the people of the noun
tain county in particular than the supply of
= good article of fuel, without which no
home can be comfortable. We give the re-
suit of our experience when we state that,
upon full test, the coal mined at the coal
bank Of Richard J. Hughes. at South Fork
in this county. is not excelled by any btu
minous coal in the State. It's heating pro-
pertes are equal to the best Pittsbargh coal,
while it is free from the dense, suphurous
smoke of the latter, so annoying to the ladies
on the score of cleanliness. The South Fork
coal. while strong. is clean. and is entirely
free from slate, and leaves neither cinder nor
other refuse matter in the stove Capt W.
r. hughes. of Wilmore, is agent for the saIc
of this coal. and reports the works as able
to supply one hundred tons per day. 1.-The
South Fork Coal Mining Co." is the firm
name. By the way. speaking OF Capt. w.
r. Hughes. it rejoices us to say that. after
his late reverses. he has opened afresh. and
is now actively engaged in the numbering
business. as we'll as dealing extensively in
dry goods. groceries. etc, which we are told
he is selling IS cheap as the cheapest at bis
old stand in Wilmore.

JcExsTowE, Nov. 8, 1869.


Dear Freensdn-The harvest 10 past aud
the summer ended. The earth has yielded
its fruits and the tolls Of the husbandman
have been bountifully rewarded by Him who
directs the winds and clouds. In the enjoy
ment Of comforts and privileges such as fall
10 the lot Of our happy citizens, we some
times forget the source from whence they
come, aud the Giver Of all good. It becomes
us therefore to bow down in humble aGora-
ton before Him and render him the grateful
tribute of thankful hearts.
Agriculture has certainly received an i'm
petus in Our county. This is right. Our
formers have too long delayed entering upon
the path of Improvement but | trust that,
now they have commenced. they will carry
on the good work until we will furnish our
toiiug thousands with their bread and -vege
tables at least, if we cannot furnish all their
meat-which perhaps the fertile praries can
produce moro cheaply than we. Our gard
eners have also made considerable progress in
their business this season. The supply of
vegetables has been better, both in quantity
ana quality. than ever afforded before, and
| hope that the day is not far distant when,
excepting the earlier vegetables, we shall
not be tributary to any other section for the sc
necessary articles, and for which we have
heretofore paid away large sums of money.
One thing worthy OF note this season Is the
fine supply Of grapes enjoyed by cur citizens
Oar industrious German population have
taught US the useful lesson of planting vine
by every mans door. which, affording both
shade aud fruit, has contributed SO largely
to comfort and refinement. Besides the
cherished plant around the door. several per-
sons in the vicinity have small vineyards
coming into bearing this season and their
surplus products have made up full sup
ply for all our people.
The fall of RAIN for the month amounts TO
2 22S inches-total rain for the year So far
4l64 inches. Mean tenn perature for the
month, DC degrees. Maximum on the 9th of
20 degrees. Minimum on the 26th of II
degrees. The season has been distinguished
by limited amount of heat. and it is mat
ter of surprise that the crops have been SO
good under rather unfavorable circumstan-
ces. The latter part of October was very
rough. and the frosts unusually severe-suf-
ficiently so in many places to seriously injure
fruit which remained ungathered at the
time. w. L A.
