CORRESPONDENCE.
Affairs i'm Dublin District.


The crop of wheat is now cut and garnered
and 1t is the best crop that we have raised for
several years. The grain is fine and plump and
will yield largely it has been secured in fine
order, and it will amply pay the husbandman
for his toll. The crop of hay has been secured
in fine ordcrand is the best crop of that useful
article that we have ever had in our district.
OTHER CROPS.
The fields of growing corn look fine and prom

ing rapidly and promises fine yield. The oat
crop has improved since the late shower, and
will be better than was expected Garden vege-
tables are looking well, and the croakers have
nothing to grumble at except the Colorado po-
tato bug, which is perfect God.send to men
who are never satisfied For the blessings ofour
fine crops We should return our thanks to the
great Jehovah for his continued kindness
THE swINDLERs.
The carpct-bag swindlers who have been cheat
ing our citizens appear TO have left for other
parts, no doubt fearing detection through the
warning of the local press. Our county papers
are worth ten times their cost to our citizens
by keeping them advised of the doings of un.
principled rascals who are ever ready to take
advantage Of the unwary.
THE HEALTH OF OUR DISTRICT.
we have uncommon fine health in our district.
There has been no epidemic this season, and very
few persons have been sick.
BUILDING.
Some of orr citizens have been building this
season. Mr.. Parker Forwood, who lives on
Deer Creek, has built u large barn ~ 60 feet.
The work was done by Josiah Scarboro 81 Son.
The work is done in an excellent manner and
reflects credit both on the enterprise of the own.
er and the mechanical skill of the builders. Mr..
Parker +. Scarboro is building fine dwelling,
which, when finished, will be quite an ornament
to his farm Josiah Scarboro is the Architect,
and he is doing the work well and will make d
finished job of it, Mr. j. Frank Rcasin, one of
our Hon. County Commissioners, has built q
large addition TO his barn, and has raised more
produce than will fill it. Mr.. Reasin has q fine
and he is heightened gentleman of the old
Southern School.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The citizens OF our county owe their thanks to
our Hon. Board of County Commissioners fol
their praiscworthy act in making liberal levy
for the public schools, and they will be sustain
ed in their course by every taxpayer who has
the welfare of the rising generation at heart -
OfcourSc some narrow minded men will grum
blc-well, never mind them.
THE MAILS.
The mails from Baltimore to Dublin are in q
bad condition. We don't get either orr county
or city papers, that are due on Saturday, until
Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The Hartford
papers are often divided in small parcels, and il
is three or four days before they all arrive. We
intend to hire an old colored man, named Ed
ward Johnson, to carry the mail on foot from
Baltimore to Dublin. Edward thinks that he
can make the through trip in two days, leaving
Baltimore on Thursday, and arriving at Dublin
on Friday evening. This arrangement will be Of
great advantage to us, for then we can have the
county papers the day they are published, with
out having to wait till the next Wednesday, as
we now frequently have to do. MARS.
