Although some Of our previous com
were miserably gotten up (of
course we did not know it until they ap-
peared in print); and Notwithstanding
our numerous resolutions to dash the pen
aside, and never permit it to re-attempt
the exposition of our literary faculty, we
accept the situation, cast away self hoa or,
and dash into it again, remembering the
Latin proverb Labor omnia vincit," and
taking hope therefrom. Misery likes
company" we rejoice, therefore, when
we notice mistakes in other CORE pond
ents' productions; and have been tempted
to ask an interchange of criticism of
some one of the correspondents of the
REPUBLICAN; not to show what we
know, bet to make us more careful i'll our
selection Of terms. That might be an
exceptional feature in our commanica-
tons, therefore we will slash away as us
ual
Our rural townships pTsspering finely
The verdure of May surrounds us !; the
heretofore backwardness Of the Spring,
apparently adding beauty to its lines
Planting will soon be completed. Far
mers generally are making some improve
ments, still there is room for more. Mr..
Brumbaugh has number of fine young
evergreen trees, which would beautify
most of our yards if properly distributed.
| A little labor and Il few dollars expended
in making home pleasant, would add
thousands of dollars to the value of oul
township. Why not do it, and thus take
the lead in the county. We can, if we
/ think so, for we have the necessary ma
terials within our borders. Brumbaugh
will furnish evergreens and a number o.
fruit trees. If his supply is exhausted
| Holland & Co will soon be to the rescue
with their thirty acres or more. The for
mer Will also furnish all the first class
brick that may ] e in demand, at his yard
where the brick for the Court House wa:
burned His first kiln Will soon be ready
for the fire, and he intends to burn as ma
nv more as the market may demand. Hls
clay is of the first quality. If YOU wan

Go to his steam sawmiil tor lumber; orr
that is too far, there is Etiman, west o

Kreighbaum, Williams, and lsinhour
The latter, or Mr. Andrews (who will fur
nish you with garden products), will re
pair your wagons. Solder, Knapp, ant
Zumbaugh will put up buildings i'll til
best of order and in beautiful style. W
have missed some in each of the abov
vonations, but must not mention more
for they are too numerous. We are trul
prepared for making our township secon
to none; and best of all we DO not know
of one Liberal Republican Truly w
should have none, for what guaranty hay
we of Greeley's future course " hat mar
after carefully noticing his career in tn
darkest DAYS of our Republic, can say Ii
is fit subject for the executive depart

country than he does about farming" c
he never would have advised the govern

We do not want him to be Presiden

i, lieve they will not have him. Give us

firm in the right.
