CHARLESTOWN ITEMS.

Harrest and Crsps.-The grass crop is
pretty generally harvested, with bu.a poor
turn out, scarcely paying for the cutting.
The present week will bring on the wheat
harvest, with the prospect of but moder-
ate yield. Corn is growing finely. Oats
very short, in consequence of the dry
Spring. The growers of that most deli
cious fruit-the strawberry-Ieporta toler-
ably good turn out.
Fsshing.-Those of our citizens who
were engaged in fishing for shad the past
Spring were not very successful. Those
engaged in gilling for herring were rather
more successful; the hauling seines did
poorly.
Loss Of Horse.-Rev. John D. Kemp,
Pastor in charge of Charlestown Circuit,
lost very fine mare, a few days ago, from
disease which it is supposed was con-
tracted during the last winter, by standing
out during the progress of extra meetings
on the Circuit. 1t certainly would be
great advantage to the Ministers horses,
if Churches on the Circuit, could have
erected in close proximity to the houses of
worship, suitable stabling, or covering at
least, wherein Preachers could put their
horses doing service, after driving several
miles.
Lnapr0rements.-Mr. Lewis Thompson
has purchased lot of ground, near the
old town wharf, of Mr.. J. B. Graham, and
has the material on the ground preparatory
to building. Mr.. VIM. T. Richardson is
building an addition to his store, which,
when completed, will add greatly to its
convenience. Mr.. Charles Cooper has had
the cold Brick" better known as the
sold Hogg Property, thoroughly repaired.
Elkton boasts Of having been honored with
Gen. Grant as a guest, and this cold
Brick " can boast of having had within its
walls, as guest, Gen. George Washing.
ton. 1t was then kept as hotel, with
Mr.. Hogg as proprietor. Since that time
it has been used for various purposes
store, tavern, dwelling, &c. The Good
Templars are now occupying a room in it
as Lodge Room.
Out Door Amusemeuts.-The outdoor
amusements, such as croquet, sailing par
ties, &C., are in full operation, and the
lovers of that kind of amusement have
ample opportunities of enjoying them
selves; for within few steps of our doors
we have the North East River, and boats
in abundance, that can skip along the
water under gentle breeze, almost as
sweetly and gently as duck. Oh! what
pleasures the young folks can have that
we older ones are debarred from participat-
ing in.

The Greelev Sham.

After President Grant shall have been
reelected and Mr.. Greeley's vanity effect
ually squelched, the most prominent recol-
lection of the American people in connec-
ton with the campaign of 1872 will be that
on the part of the opposition it was thor
oughly ridiculous. There is burlesque
air about the management of the canvass
against Grant that will show more plainly
hereafter than it does now. First, we have
candidate who has directly repudiated all
the principles which through long life he
has strenuously advocated, and has thrown
himself into the arms of men whom he has
denounced only politically but per-
sonally-in that course language for the
employment of which he is distinguished.
The party to which he deserts estimates
him at his right value, and believing that
he has neither the qualities of head nor
heart that would hold him to the defence
of the policy embraced in the platform
upon which he stands, is quite willing to
place him in the White House, knowing
full we'll that once there he would be no
more of an obstruction to purely Demo-
cratic Government than wooden figure.
1t is quite certain that Mr.. Greeley thinks |
the other way and believes that it is he
who is cheating the Democracy instead of
they deceiving him, but all the world |
knows that he is the dupe. Then again,
we have the curious spectacle of nineteen |
out Of every twenty prominent men who
their adhesion to Greeley accom-
panying it with an expression of their per-
sonal loathing and contempt for the man.
Bad temper, abusive language and out
right curses make up the welcome with
which he is received into the anti-Republi-
can camp. The natural inference is that
these men are only willing to take him up
because behind his candidacy lies their only
chance Of returning to power, again grasp

A New Invention.-On Wednesday and
Thursday of last week, there was scene
of considerable excitement in Delaware
City, occasioned by the trial trip of new
invention known as the American Road
Steamer which is designed to supersede
the use Of mules in towing canal boats
This machine is somewhat similar to a
locomotive in build and is furnished with
twolarge wheels, provided with cogs about
six inches wide, which are intended to
facilitate and steady its progress. A small
er wheel in front is changeable, and is used
for steering purpose. The trials on We'd
nesday and Thursday were highly satisfac-
tory, the boats being drawn through the
canal at high rate of speed. Fifteen
miles per hour. can be attained which will
be considerable advantage, over mule
power. Should the invention prove sue
cessful it will doubtless soon grow into gen.
eral use, and the primitive custom of tow
ing canal boats by means Of mules, be
entirely dispensed with.

The Chicago Post says: "The Tribune
says that the attacks of the Republican
press leave Horace Greeley as serene as

stronger with each successive bonn bard

knocked into cooked hat the second, and
surrendered with all its contents the third,
we call the simile good oHs."

A correspondent from Lancaster county,
Pa, writes that heavy rain fell in that
neighberhood on the 25th, which lasted
near "a hours, and on the night of the 25th
wound up with a thunder gust.
Wheat generally a failure; some few have
good wheat along the river and few miles
out on the river ridge. Hay crop light;
mostly cut and housed. Corn bids fair to
be good crop; potatoes ditto; oats, short.
Many farmers are preparing for the buck
wheat crop this fall. Sorgham, but little
planted this years; formerly there was a
good deal of attention paid to this crop
here, but it won'tpay to raise it on account
of labor.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SMALLPOX.
About two years ago a smallpox hospit-
al was established at Hamstead, near Lon
don, on account of the increasing prev.
alence of that disease. The superintend-
emit lately published an account of his
observations in that hospital of the effects
of vaccination in mitigating the severity of
the disease. Nothing could be more con-
elusive than the result. The percentage
of deaths among those admitted without
vaccination marks was 55.43. Among
those with one mark the percentage of
fatal cases sank to 1879; among those with
two marks it was 1889; ameng those with
three marks only 1858 per cent. died. only
o.3e of those with four marks, and only 6.
IL of those with five or more marks. Of
cases of smallpox after successful revacci-
nation there were but three out of G, 221, but
there were many cases to prove the fallac-
BUSINESS of the doctrine that persons not
susceptible to vaccination are proof against
smallpox. But the conclusion is that sue
cessful revaccination after the age of fifteen
years is sure protection against the dis
ease. Cases are rarer than those of second
smallpox, and are very mild when they do
occur.
