The Corn HuskeE5 Again. corres-
poudent of the Akron Beacon, writing from

On yesterday, the I'd inst, Charles Shelter

hours. The corn was untopped and generally
prostrated by the high wind of the evening

first ) l-2 hours husked 90 IL bushels, equal
ling and, taking the condition of the corn into
consideration, beating Burkholder. Try

That is pretty good but We think we can
"see it" and go one better. Mr. D. Reynolds,
living at Ballville, but who has been husking
steadily for four weeks past for Mr.. T. q
Bush, Of this place, on the 2sth ult., husked
three half bushels from the shock, IN five min

Brown, of the Bellevue Gazette spurs the
enterprising citizens of that place up, occasio-
nally, and occasionally administers a dig to
those who are not 50 enterprising, in fact who
do not give any evidence that they ever knew
or ever will know what the term signifies.
Following is late thrust of his, and as it ap-
plies with equal forOe to. a class here, we take
pleasure in reproducing it
Every man who knows anything of worldly
things whatever, Is aware that the moro de-
sirable place IS to live in, and do business in,
the more valuable will all kinds of property,
especially real estate, be- Admitting this to
be so, then is it not to the interest of every
property owner to do all he can to foster and
build up those institutions that have a tenden-
cy to make a town better point in all respects
than those around it? OF course it is, and the
man who will not do so, especially when it re-
quires no sacrifice of either time or money, is
worse than nobod "a mere nonentity, a
clog and stumbling block to the community in
which he lives. Such an Individual lives only
for and within himself; he never ventures o
sixpence unless certain that he will obtain a
shilling in return. He rears no monuments to
his enterprise in the shape of buildings and
other Improvements, and when he dies he is
missed no more than speek of chaff from a
bushel Of wheat.
The following epistle of a languishing maid
of the olden time, written ninety five years
ago will be read with interest BY those who
make this style of iters ture study:
UNIoN Town, Pa, Oct Is, LIS.
REV. SIR:-ThoUgh it may appear presump-
tive and unbecoming that deiicacy which is the
inseparabls coneomitant and discriminating
characteristic of q modest virgin; yet nv crit
ical situation neeessitates me to take this
method Of communicating to you something
which I have hitherto concealed; Ny heart
inclined to reveal, but my tongue refused to
comply; and since you are unacquainted with
the language of looks. have ventured to
make these lines the messenger of my mind,
TO aequaint you that have long perhaps too
unguardedly) INDUCED q most passionate and
tender love for an object, whose irresistible
graees have captivated my heart, before inl-
penetrable.
You will not, I hope, be surprised, when
tell you that object is yourself Therefore,
relying on your generosity, and supposing it
impossible that gentleman possessed Of so
much virtue and sensibility, should be cruel
and unmerciful to q lsnguishing maid who
only wishes for reciprocal affection-and
who impatiently waits for an answer either
to crown her felicity, or complete her misery.
I conclude, and remain, Rev'd Sir,
Your mos, devoted,
Most impasgionste,
and tender Inamorats,
