Between wiurtnmsport and Santa Fe

We regret TO learn, through reliable
and intelligent young farmer, that the
wheat crop OH the northern side of the
river between Williamsport and Santa
Fe, is not turning out as was expected
by the farmers. The land i'm that section
is extra good, and farms that last year
produced about 10 or l6 bushels per acre,
this year only yields about and and S.
The corn is looking remarkably well.
Cotton is unusually small in that neigh
borhood, and not only small, but in a
sad condition II has only about halfthe
usual number of squares, and the squares
that may come hereafter will produce no

the sun his rays was notwithstanding

trees: and I watched the streamlet glis-
tening. as entranced 1 there was listen
ing to the melting, merry music ON the
breeze, when beneath tree reclining
where no ray OF sun was shining, 10!
saw a fellow-being on the ground
Though no other feature shifted, quickly
soon his eyes uplifted- upward lifted as
he wildly looked around. Good friend,
said /, approaching, do not charge me
with encroaching-are you waiting for
some messenger of news?" But no other
word he uttered, and no other sentence
muttered, save--syoull find there's
none like HoDGE's Boots and Shoesr
That's strange expression, surely p
said i, looking down demurely Il trust,
good sir, that you the question will ex-
Cuse.'
But he only looked the prouder as he
spoke the words the louder, There's al
ways perfect comfort in BILL HopoE's
Boots and Shoes =
why, bless me, man. / shouted, as
his sanity doubted, IT'S surely nought
TO me what peoples goods you use!'
But he only cried the higher, with en-
thusiactic fire, You'll save your cash by
wearing HoDGE's Boots and Shocs,'
SO II left him there reclining, where no
ray of sun was shining, and frequently
/ wondered at the words the man did use;
surely twas mystery, and
that some hidden history was weaving
round myself and HoDGE's Boots and
Shoes. So then 1 resolved to buy them;
nay, l felt compelled to try them And
behold I've cause for gladness that the
words deemed were madness induced
me thus to purchase HoDeE's Matchless

The MT. Pleasant Dinicu,tv.

We learn that GEO. ANDERSON, who
was shot in a street fight in Mt. Pleas
ant few weeks since, by JAMES r.
THOMSON, is not expected to live,
modification having set in. DIR. LONG
is the attending physician. The cause
of the difficulty was an old political
feud. ANDERSON, it will be remem-
bered, killed WIN. DUE, in a difficulty
a year or so ago, and was considered
q dangerous man. THOMSON is pro-
badly even more notorious for his per-
sonal difficulties, and is called "bullet-
proof Thomson" from his boast that
he could not be killed by bullets. Both
these men belonged to the Loyal
League, and it is thought by outsiders
that the difficulty between them was
caused 10y THOMSON leaving the
League some time since, as their an
tagOnism commenced about that time.
ANDERSON learned short time before
the day of the shooting that THOMA-
SON had said that ON a certain day he
was going to make ANDNRsoN "take
to his hole" Consequently AMBER
SON armed himself with double-bar-
relied gun, and when THOMSON APP
peared on the street, he ran to his win
dow and fired away at him, one of the
buckshot grazing his ear. THoMAsON
always carries a double barreled gun
with him when be goes to town, and
quickly replied to ANDERsoN's shot
before he could make second shot.
THoNASON'S shot struck ANDERSON i'm
the arm, breaking the bone in several
places.

twenty-five hundred feet. The price paid tor
this property was half million dollars. 1t ia
intended, upon this tidecovered land. to con-
struct three great basins or ship cauals. The
hrst Will be $50 feet wide. and will extend inward
from deep water 1900 feet; the second will be OF
the same width and 1900 feet long; the third
will be 140 feet wide ard 1900 feet long.
Along both sides Of each OF these basins are
to be built ranges Of warehouses; each one
hundred feet square, and located fifteen feet
fIom the faces Of the basins. At the southern
part Of tho new property will be erected an
immense passenger station. In addition to
the land purcha led the right to build piers
into deep water was also acquired. and it is de-
signed 10 build series Of wharves each two
hundred feet wide and fve hundr I'D feet long.
Arrangements will be made also for ferrying
loaded cars across the Hudson, and railroad
tracks are to be laid the entire length Of each
OF the piers. The property acquired is con-
sidereh!y more than :ailo from tho Present
terminus of the road. and the connection with
the old track is to be made by means o. an
elevated r=ilway running from the cove to Ber-
gen cut. It will be built at first for double
track, but will be so constructed that addi-
tlonal tracks may be provided for without too
great expense. The cost OF the improvements
already decided upon IS about five million dol
lars in addition TO the real estate purchased.
The object OF it all is to compete successfully
