For the Upton Advertiser.
1t is fact not always needed by
mothers, that much Of the sickness
incident to September may be avaid-
ed by providing abundant night
clothing.
From August to November the
rapid declining in temperature which
occurs every night during the hours
OF sleep eliminates in September,
and many persons otherwise healthy
are chilled unconsciously, to their
own disastes. Little children, and
also big ones toss away their cover
ing till near midnight, and at last
sleep all the sounder for the GOODNESS.
Thus the pores Of the skin fail to
eliminate properly the miasms Of
autumn, and illness results. Wrap
the little folks 20 that they cannot
strip themselves, and persuade older
ones to endure, on first retiring, the
extra covering. E. II. IkaRAHAN.

der the corn aud nearly sufocated
before he could be released.
Large preparation il being made BY
our young folks for attending the

meeting commences on Saturday next
and will continue three days.
We are bound to have rain every

Our farmers are having their grain
threshed out very fast, two or three
machines within hearing Of town.
Grain is turning out well, with the
exception Of oats. Many fields Of oats
will not yield more than thirty bushels
per acre; which il not half they aver
