R., instead of three hours drag to New Milford in the mud. We did live without the rail- road and thought we enjoyed life. What delusion :!

The dry, sunshiny days, the past week, are the saving of great deal of tobacco. It was beginning to sweat badly, and much damage was apprehended, and in some barns where it was hung too thick, and not sufficiently ventilated it did rot some; but the damage is slight generally. The growth of all kinds of farm product is enormous, particularly a0eeds. Crops generally are being gathered in good con- dition, and the price of hay will not.range among the twenties this season. The Po- litical campaign is opening with vigor. A fair contest and no favors is the watch word.
