"Hope deferred, maketh the heart sick, ~
so in regard to rain in this section. BY
the hopeful appearances on Monday and
Tuesday, we were almost sure of fruitful
showers but they came not and we are as
dry as ever.
Improvements, Notwithstanding, still 60
on, and we notice that Thomas Riddell,
ESQ.,, is still adding great Improvements to
his very comfortable dwelling. Mr. T. v.
Rose, near here, is making additions to his
barn, and also building poultry house of
an improved style.
The public school at this place will close
this week till after vacation.
AS announced our festival came off on
Friday and Saturday of last week, and as
it was the first that we ever held at this
place, we hope you will spare us room for a
condensed report. The weather on this
occasion, not only favored us, but the call
which we made for patronage met with a
noble and hearty response. The people
Sahl0-CdiHC Will Will, duu Ludu'S ulohi-
fest their purpose by actions, which spoke
much louder than words, enabling us to
realize as tho net proceeds, the very re-
spectacle sum of one hundred and thirty
two dollars. We thank the people, we
thank the fair ladies and the young geltle
men who so nobly and faithfully assisted
the brethren and sisters of the church in
this enterprise-and we must not forget to
acknowledge the very efficient service rem
dered by J. P. Burns, esq. Whose goods
and wares and stock in trade, was an earth
en- crock of lemonade, realizing from this
source alone some fifteen dollars. At 10
o'clock on Saturday every thing was sold
off and the proceeds placed in the hands Of
the treasurer, Mr.. John Astle, of Zion,
who was previously appointed, SO ended
the affair. In justice to the printer, We
advertised freely, and consider the amount
thus spent, as paying us more than four
fold.
Keep it before the people: for Commits
sioner, Joseph 7. Reed, of Bay View.

Harvesting rorsnaents-Resumed Oper-
ations-The Canal.
Our farmers are moving, and several
have put up portion of their hay, and by
the time this comes to your readers, many
will have nearly finished haying and some
have wheat cut. There are some fields of
wheat that, at a distance have the appear
ance of being ready to harvest. Grass is
generally short; wheat good; oats short
and corn doing well, though backward,
owing to the late spring. Many farmers
estimate the hay crop to be lighter than
last year.
Mr.. Tome is making garden on the va
cant lot at "Bank Station" He intends
leveling it up and inclosing it similar to

Way have their new Office closed in, and it
bids fair to be one of the finest buildings
of the kind out side of the city. Messrs.
Reynolds are the contractors upon whom
the architecture, certainly reflects much
credit. H. c. Nesbitt's new house in mid
dletown is nearing completion, under the
efficient management of Messrs. West &
Vannort. Mrs. Mccullough is having an
addition built to her residence.

The canal boats have not been running

vantage to our coal merchants, not only
here, but all who depend upon their supply
by the canal.

We. the parched denizens Of this

with an actual shower and several very
psrceptible sprinkles, but the clouds passed

golden splendor, and the dust arose like
the plague of Egypt, to fill every house.
There has been great deal of chaff and
precious little wheat, winnowed out OF the
bad tempered discussion which has been

to be stated, gentlemen, let us have them;

of Elkton and Red Clouds of North East,
was played on the grounds Of the Alphas
at Elkton, resulting in victory for the
R. C's., by score of AZ to 81. This de-
feat is probably owing to the fact that
four of the A1phas best men were unable
to play, one of the prominent players hav-
ing thrown up-not the sponge-on the 3rd
