BLooMISGBURG, Nov. %. 1873.
EDS. HERALD:-Our farmers are now
being sorely oppressed in consequence Of
money. Wages have been high and the sea
son unfavorable. Corn in this part Of the
county is less than half crop. The quality
of this half crop is 50 per cent below last
years crop. The hogs are going to market
half fed, at $5 50 per hundred pounds on
credit with bills for hired help store bills,
taxes, &c, all due. How we are to get out
of this we don't just now see. Of course
the merchants, mechanics, and the doctors
(and it is distressingly healthy just now
must bear their share of the calamity.
But we expect to fight it out on this line
f it takes all winter.
A bloated looking institution on two legs
came to our town some two or three weeks
since and stopped at the Wheaton house,
and set up for horse doctor" On Satur-
day last Mr.. Wheaton called on him for
the ''scads" for board to date. He prom
ised to fork over on Monday. But Monday
morning Wheaton found the scamp's back
window open and horse doctor tracks over
shed roof to the ground. Non est kissen-

About two week ago last Sunday, Charley
Dean, of your town, was filing right on
the double quick with Deacon Jones, of
this place, by his side in his aone-horse
shag,' when he institution capsized and
by some remarkable providence, when they
reach terra tirma, Charley was on top.
Mr.. Jones will not decide upon the amount
of damage until he gets out OF bed and is
able to walk, which may be some time yet.
John Crozier was thrown from his
buggy few days since and very seriously
injured.
One Of the teachers in our school has
abandoned repeating "the Lords prayer
in our common school, assigning as
reason, as l understand that the Lords
prayer is old" worn out'' 'too thin"
He, however, has substituted an ''origin-
all prayer for that ancient form given to
the disciples by its author, Jesus Christ.
AS soon as the facts in regard to that
'hen party can be collected, I will for
ward them. B.
