OUR RARBOUR LETTER.
PHlLIPPI, w. Va, July 4

Tilton scandal, arouses the graves t
suspicion that tine worst is yet to come,
and that the admirers OF the eloquence
and talent OF the most versatile divine
in America, have heard but half q
tale. We have heard Beecher's flashes
of eloqueuce and left him with kind
feelings, not for his piet, or Christianity.
but for his liberal views on spiritual
matters, and for the margin he allowed
a FsLLER who was making ungodly
crooks. We would regret to zee the
stills knocked from under Henry
Ward. We need man that can neu-
,r.lize the effect OF the old fashioned
BRIMsToNE preacher, and Henry does it
effectuslly.
The top OF harvest has been reached
this week, and from our personal
knowledge and from reports OF farmers
we are enabled to say that as to this
county, we have never had superior
yield OF wheat per acre, than the pres
ent crop promises, and as mnch or
more average was sown than usual.
And the same cheering news of the
fruitfulness OF the same crop reaches us
from Harrison, Taylor, Upshur, Ran.
dolph, Lewis, and Tucker. l have
not heard a single complaint Of
the stock being injured in the least by
any OF the numerous destroy ers that
have generally been disastrous to the
growing crop. A plentiful crop OF
wheat ia certainly encouraging and a
god send 70 farmers, in view OF the fact
that corn is quite unpromising, and
unless we have some setter corn wealth.
er than the past, tue yield will fall lar
short of the last two years.
Oats is hardly worth talking about,
and hay will be out OF the question,
both Of which crops owing to the
drouths 10 the early season were stint
ed, and could not recover. | hear OF
several farmers that are pasturing their
meadows, in order 10 get their cattle
into market and save wiutering over
this will throw a gIe.t many cattle
into market that would otherwise have
kept over and must keep the price
down.
Streams aud wells are getting very
low, and a great many find trouble in
getting enough water Tor home use.
Several steam saw mills are standing
idle throughout the county for want OF
water.
A meeting of the stockholders OF the
G. IL w. (Gr4fton IL Weston railroad
was held at Buckhannon on Wednes-
day. Barbour and Upshur were rep
resented. MessrE J. L. Hall and
Bradford being present from this county.
Owing to some hitch in the prelimina
ries Lewis tailed to participate. Di-
rectors were elected-niue in ALL
from Upshur, 2 from Barbour, (Messrs.
Hall and Bradford,) and one from
Lewis (Hon. J. NJ. BennetD. D. D. 7.
Farnsworth was elected President of the
road.
Capt. Bradford is confident that il
the counties through which the pre-
posed road will pass will take the re-
ouired amount OF stock-lssue their
bouds-and then the B. IL .. R. R
will advance the money on those bonds,
that then the road CAN be built e1-
pect that's fact. Upshur is said to
be thoroughly aroused on the railroad
Question, willing to vote any amount
OF money to put her 10 easy communl-
cation with Democratic civilization
This is as it should be, as she has long
enough been without the means OF en-
liobtpnment and advancement Nothing
Il so promoiive OF democratic ascend
sncv as the spread of intelligence. Lets
by all means penetrate that betogged
region with the modern civllzer, Ia
