LETTER FROM DUFFIELDS.

July 9, 1872.
Dufields has been somewhat enter
tanned for the past two weeks, by the
efforts OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL minister,who
is endeavoring to eradicate those good
old truths that the faithful christian
loves to ponder, and to transplant the
doctrines of the New Church. What
a responsibility rests upon our ministers
of to-day, what a work they have to do.
Infdelity is making rapid strides across
this fair land of ours. Bred in northern
nurseries, she is already extending her
arms South and West, poisoning with
her touch much that is pure and noble.
Our farmers have finished harvesting,
and are busy gathering it in. They an
ticipate large yield, in proportion to
the amount of straw, which is very
short Paper Mills look to your inter
ests. Hay is very scarce. The corn
is looking we'll On the whole we are
in good spirits and don't complain.
Some have gone, and Others are pre-
pairing, to attend the Baltimore Con

The Presbyterians at kerneysville, |
understand, have chosen Pastor, i'll the
person of the Rev. Mr.. Anderson Mr..
A. has preached here several times and
| believe the congregation are well
pleased.
Duffields and Kearneysville both 60
in strong for Hon. A. r. Boteler as cur
next Congressman. Everywhere | hear
him spoken of as the peoples choice.
Mr.. s. in his past and ennobIlng ca
reer, has done so much to endear him
to the hearts of the people. They feel
that he must once more represent them
in the Halls of Congress. His abilities
as a statesman, his selt-denial, bravery
and deeds as soldier, his unceasing Ia
bors. now as citizen, to build up his
commonwealth, and place her foremost
among her sister States, places his name
high upon the roll of Virginian fame.
Among the County officers the name
OF Mr. c. NJ. Beltzhoover stands fore
most as Prosecuting Attorney. No
better man for that position could be
found, and we felt right good, Mr.. Edi-
itor. when we saw his name in the Reg
lister as a candidate for that office. feel
confident that he will get almost the
entire vote of our citizens.
Pence hear dealt out in harvest
shares more than barrel Of Shaks-
peares ''brain stealer. This man is
selling whisky without license, I am
told. Where are our officers what are
they for Mr.. Pence, although blind,
for which he has the entire sympathy of
the community, has the appreciation of
all in his efforts to gain livelihood, yet
he certainly is not justihable in doing
so, by sacrificing the health and happi-
ness Of others, but more anon.
Mary Beau has been harvesting and
hence her non appearance for several
issues. As to not keeping her ''plntS
the old lady taxes pardon, and still de
sires to remain, Yours forever,
MARY REAU.
