PENNSYLVANIA AND ONO ELEor1oNs.

The elections for State officers in Penn
sylvania and Ohio will take place on
Tuesday, October H. Although special
interest attaches to the results, since in
each case Governor is to be chosen, in
neither State has the campaign been pro-
secuted with much outward show of vigor.
1t appears to be generally conceded that
Asa Packer, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of. Pennsylvania, will be elected
over his competitor, John w. Geary. The
latter, it is tue, has the advantage of
holding that Office now and of exerting for
his own interest such influence as inhercs
in it; but his administration has been in
efficient and he has made himself unpopu-
lar with portion of his party The Rad
icals are divided in counsel, and Governor
Geary, by essaying to secure the friend
ship of each faction, has incurred the dis
trust of ALL
The canvass in Ohio is, in some re-
spects, peculiar. The Democrats, after
going somewhat out of their ranks to Sc
lcct General Rosecrans for their leader,
upon his dcclination, called to the front
their particular champion, George H Pen
dleton. 1t is believed that he can poll a
larger vote in Ohio than any other Demo-
crat, both by reason of his personal popu-
larity and the prominent position he has
occupied in national politics since 1864.
Unfortunately for him and his supporters,
he is prevented by the results of an acci-
dent from stumping the State. As a
speaker, Mr.. Pendleton is effective and per-
suasive. That the Radicals feel concerned
as to the result of the election is evident
from the fact that they have flooded the
State with speakers, among whom are sew
cral of their ablest men. The Democrats
express full confidence in the election of
Mr.. Pendleton. Should their hopes be
realized Gas we trust they may y and should
Asa Packer carry Pennsylvania, the Dem
ocratic party, after the election in New
York State, in November, will start the
new year with the three largest States in
the Union Y. World.

The Dismal Swamp. on the boundary
line of Virginia and North Carolina, is
every year affected by the drought, so
that the surface takes fire and burns until
extinguished by autumn rains. This year,
on account of the long continued dry wea-
ther, the confagration is of unprecedented
magnitude, and has already burned for a
distance of 16 miles. from northwest to
southeast. Several fine farms have been
burned out, and on fields formerly rich
with crops nothing is to be seen but acres
OF ashes, the pits in some cases being Is
feet deep. The surface of the swamp CON
sists of decomposed vegetable matter, held
together by the roots of water plants.
Though slight shower may extinguish
the confagration on the surface, yet in
many instances the fire continues to burn
underneath, and thus forms extensive hol
lows. The bed of Drummond Lake, in
the centre of the swamp, is supposed to
have been burned out in this way, many
hundred years ago.

Judge Dent, the Conservative candi-
date for Governor in Mississippi, has taken
the stump. and the canvass may be regar-
ded as fairly opened. He regards the
success of the Conservative ticket as q
foregone conclusion The Democratic
State Executive Committee have deter
mined not to place ticket in the field,
and have recommended the Democrats to
join with the Conservatives in electina
Judge Dent. This topples over all hopes
of success on the part of the Radicals.

RoUND Top.-The Crumptonian says:-
We paid another visit to Round Top this
week and found Mr.. Harris and his host
of employees still vigorously at work. The
number of cans now being put up is twen-
ty-fve thousand per day. On Wednesday
last there were thirteen thousand trees
still untouched; but by the end of next
week the peach season will be nearly clos
ed, and by that time there will be packed
six hundred thousand cans, one-half of
which are two pound, and the other half
three pound, valued at Wholesale at So, 2,25
and 1925 per dozen. The quantity of
sugar used this season will be $50 barrels.
As soon as the peaches are exhausted Mr..
Harris will pack tomatoes as long as the
season will permit. Forty acres of these
were planted, but so immense was the crop
of peaches that he has been unable to do
anything with tomatoes yet, and large
quantity has therefore been allowed to rot
on the ground, as the price was so low it
would not pay to pick and send to mar
ket.

Now FoR BUsINEss.-Th Philadelphia
Ledger says The travelling season is
over; and the wandering community are at
home again; and busy enough as our ad-
vertising columns bear witness. No doubt
all are fresher and in better condition, !"
as the boat-club people say, for their sum,
mer vacation. Even the stay -at-homcs
have had rest which has done them SER
vice; and are ready to take hold of busi-
ness with zest and relish. The cessa-
ton of employment makes men hungry for
work; as fasting gives an appetite. The
places of public resort are full; the schools
are in full operation, and the clergy have
something better than meagre congrega-
tions. On the whole, we are sure that the
busiest seasons of the year are decidedly
the plesantest. Nothing is better as a CON

exertion and no hope that yourself or any
body else will be the gamer by your eff
forts. Of all slow but sure diseases, en-
nui is most fatal to mind, morals and
body.
