Mr.. EDITOR: Only two weeks from
Windham County, and how much can
be seen in that brief space Of time In
this time havecrossed the Green Noun
tains, sailed upon the smooth waters of
the Hudson from Troy to New York and
back again, Travelled over 1900 miles of
railroad, and visited crags, mountains,
plains, lakes, rivers, SC. Theprairies are
heavily laden with corn and oats, the
wheat being all harvested and generally
reported good.
The hay crop in Western Vermont was
good but saw but ewapples till reach
ed Western New York. There is, also,
a good supply of apples in Ohio. Indi-
ana, and Illinois, Pear trees are loaded,
so, also, are the grape vines. Peach
trees are also everywhere overloaded, the
limbs often breaking and falling with
fruit, Growers here pick their peaches
by hand and carry them to the railroad
depot tor 40 cents per bushel. Thou
sands of bushels will rot on the ground.
and | would gladly send you a cart load,
ifthey would keep, you paying the ex-
press only.
Corn is universally good and yet in no
place do find it looking better than in
New England, The West is one vast
corn field, some of the rich praries will
yield equal to the bestfields in Vermont,
but in many sections, in South Indiana
and down heSe in Egypt" the yield will
not be one third of Vermont crop. No
manure, phosphate or any kind offtrtlliz
e is used here. Corn is planted five feet
each way with only two stalks to the
hill, each stalk grows from ten to eigh-
teen feet high, and generally has two
large ears to the stalk
Here in Golden for miles around there
is one vast orchard of peaches, pears,
grapes, apples and all the small fruits,
which in their season are daily sent to
the large Western cities. Yesterday,
whenI was at Du Quoine, Icounted oneex-
press train of thirty-four cars, loaded
with peaches and grapes, all raised in
this and an adjoining town, and | am
that these frnit trains average
daily % to 40 cars. Besides seeing all
this | have had frequent opportunities
in this brief time of setting in the pleas
ant dooryards and verandas of many
friends enjoying social intercourse and
feasting upon the fruits of their labors.
Stopping here few days longer 1 shall
then start for Cairo, ST. Louis. &c

- Snakes will please take warnin o
how they bite Georgia editors. The last
one to try it was beautiful moccasin in
the central part of the State. 1t saw its
chance, crawled up to the editor of the
Milledgeville Rash and bit him on the
knee. The great man passed on without
noticing it, but the snake expired in
great agony few minutes after. The
editor of the Rash had just taken pre-
scription labelled "new departure" and
the poor snake didn't know it.
- The editor of a newspaper in Rich
mond, Va, received, on Thursday last, a
polite note from lady of responsibility
in that city, signed by her full name,
announcing that she would, at 8 o'clock
in the evening of that day, proceed to
take her own life by the most available
means, and respectfully soliciting the
pleasure of reporters company to wit
ness the ceremony. Punctually at the
appointed hour, the reporter and several
other invited guests presented themselves
at the residence designed, but, owing to
the interference of friends or some other
circumstances, the attempt was indefi-
nitely postponed. But the purpose of
the writer came very near being carried
out. OF course the lady is deranged.
