THE TWO WORKERS.

TWO workers In one field
Toiled on from day to day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
With the same blue sky above,
The same green grass below,
One soul was full OF love,
The other full Of woe.
One leaped up with the light,
With the soaring Of the lark;
One felt II ever night,
For his soul was ever dark.
One heart was hard ~ stone,
One heart was ever gay.
One worked with many a groSn.
One whistled all the day.
One had fiover.elad cot
Beside o merry mill,
Wife and children near the spot
Made it sw eeter, falrer still;
One o wrstched hoyel had,
Full Of discord, dirt and din,
No wonder he seemed mad,
Wife and children starved within.
Still they worked In the same field,
Tolled on ftom day 10 day,
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
But they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell
Lo! the one drank at the still,
And the other AZ the well.

National Debts.

Oar debt is steadily on the decrease,

nous sum oil 81, 100, 900, 000-mOre than

vast increase Is due not only TO England'S
extravaganza in times of peace, but TO
the fact that she neTer intends TO pay.

MericO Items.

Friday, Oct 2Sth.-Early this morning
the wind began its frolics again, and has
played them at = boislerous rate all day.
Such fearful winds, so frequent in occur
ence are among the unusual things Of this
vicinity heretofore. Fences, trees, loose
shingles, &c. &c, are mere toys for it.
The shock of an earthquake felt else

invitation from the Frce-wilI Baptist So

commences his labors there Immediately.
Fewer cattle will be wintered in this
vicinity this winter, than have been before
for many winters. Notwithstanding the
low prices for store cattle, very many
more than usual have been sold. think
working oxen and COWS will bring large
prices next Spring, and that hay will be
abundant. Take ii all in all, farm crops
are above an average, and the stock to
eat them is greatly reduced. From pres
ent indications, grazing is going to last
four weeks longer than it has the two
years preceding this. We have had so
little frost that feed is good, and much
less fodder has been and will be expend-
ed before cattle are housed.
Elder Durham had mammoth squash
at the Fair held here, which makes choice
pies.
Monday, Oct. 3lst.-Snow fell here TO
the depth of three inches.
We have received visit from ID. -.
w. Abbott. He is now engaged in the
manufacture of different kinds of Soap,
in Boston. One kind is The native emery
soap-the emery for which is obtained in
Andover in this State. This soap is one
Of the best ever used, removing com.
plelely all paint and stains from the

the ordinary washing Of family of
six persons two weeks. BY its use, Ger.
tainly one-half the labor Of washing is
saved; so much less rubbing is needed,
that much wear to the garments is saved.
We have tested it the last few weeks and

some of which arc new in composition,

N0rCdy.

The season just past will be re.
membered rs the hot and dry summer Of
1870. There has been nearly six months
of very warm weather, and about five
months without rain with the exception
Of occasional showers. The 3lSt OF Oct.
snow fell TO the depth OF four inches, and
the Sd day of Nov. there was = powerful
thunder storm. Orr climate is really
getting mixed up. The same amount OF
snow fell in Oct. last year rs this. Could
we have AS much rain during this month
this year rs we had last. there would be
water enough for all necessary purposes.
The rain Inst week has affected brooks
and wells considerably.

get through with that business.
Samuel S. Yates has moved into his

We learn that party from Bethel

Passing through the gate of the Notch
we came to the valley OF the Mohawk,
and after distance OF about three miles,
generally through thick woods which
prevents all views of the surrounding

beautiful farming country. In Dixvite,
we halted near a big Starch Mill, where
ten thousand bushels of potatoes will be
manufactured into starch before winter
makes its debut. Potatoes here are worth
from 40 TO 45 cents per bushcl. After

ACCIDENT on THE GRAND TRUMAN
acciden; occurred on the Grand Trunk
road on Saturday morning by which one
man was killed and three others hurt.
The locomotive. reversed. was drawing a
gravel train westward near Empire Sta
ton, running at speed of from twelve
to fifteen miles per hour, when the tender
ran of tho track going into n ditch and
leaving the locomotive on its side across
the track. The end Of the saloon car
went up on Ia the engine and contained
fifteen or twenty laborers. all on the rear
platform, who got of just as the train
stopped except one who was slightly in
iured, name unknown. The brakeman
was at his brake at the time and stepped
off without loosing his footing. The fore
man, Oliver Jordan. lay near the engine
in senseless condition, and shortly after
wards died. The engineer, John Sin
clair, was injured in the head and sprained
his wrist. The foreman, Henry Hamil-
ton, had his ankle wrenched. The con-
ductor, Mr.. Freeman Pratt. was not in.
iured, although the last to leave the sa-
loon car. A coroner's inquest was held, OF
which Mr.. Litteticld, Of Auburn was fore.
man. They brought in n verdict that Mr..
Jordan came TO his death by All unavoid-
able railroad accident, and no blame was
attached to any of the employees of the
road.
