NORTH EASTERN HARFoRD, ITS CAPABILITIES
AND REsoURCEs-THE Port OF THE CROOKS"
Mr.. EDITOR Some of the correspondents of
The Egis give Its numerous readers interesting
local news. Such items with us are scarce, and
hence our informations must be rather general
in their character. We live among the high
hills, not where the comics have their homes but
where numerous fiocks of sheep find convenient
pasture, and upon the broad undulations, not oc.
cupied by the buffalo, but by breeds ofdomestic
cattle, the sight of which gluddens the eyes. In
the cultivation OF the grasses and cereals we are
perhaps equally fortunate with our neighbors.
The grasses are not by any means an average
production this year, but wheat and oats are
good crops, and the corn promises n splendid
yied So should you at any time within the next
twelve months honor us with a visit we can
feast you a6undantly upon "hog and hominy,''
or should the delicate appetite have other pref
erences we shall be equal to the emergency.
Our worthy and well known citizen, James
Stansbury, Esq, in addition to his farming and
milling, Is engaged in the manufacture Of As
bestos and Tale OIL" the patent for which he
has recently obtained. He claims for this new
Oil decided economical advantages and he has
sufficient Yankee push, will doubtless make ii
profitable to himself and advantageous to 9th
ers. And as if to supplement his efforts in this
direction, there has lately been discovered, or
the lands of L. S. Rogers and Daniel Bay, a stone
colored paint, perfectly pure and completely
pulVerized. But one thing is needed to make
this natural paint Immediately available, tha
is process of preparation that will cause 1t tc
dry well and speedily. My impression is thai
our county is just entering upon material de
velopment that will in few years assume larg,
proportions, and We tlatter ourselves that Norll
Eastern Hartford will share largely in this devel
opment. We are, we think among the fortu-
nate ones. Our material resources are abundant
Our farmers are intelligent, enterprising ant
successful the Streets, Stansburys, Rutled ges
Wilson's, Whitefords and others are examples
Our physicians are learned skillful and expert
cnced, and our clergy grave and laborious, n
BELTS their high Office and to their great homo

BILE bibulous propenslties. We do not object t,
the man of God 'cating with publicans and sin
ners," but have no sympathy for the swine

We have had poet among us who has i'm.
moralized in attractive verse the sold Mill'' ant
its occupant, the man with ''the silent step,
and has given unusual interest to our rock,
crags and dells peopled with fairies-the Puck
wudj-ininecs of the Algonquins.

In the pale autumnal ray"
Thus diverting us for brief time from thu
oppressive material to the inspiring and elevat
ing spiritual. We were honored and made bet
ter by the gifted, and only regret that the sta,
among us was so brief. ECHo.

THE CROPS.

Under the influence of the late copious rains
the crop Of growing corn is doing fine, and we
now have good reason to expect heavy crop
Some of our farmers have been threshing their
wheat. The yield is better than they expected,
and the quality of the grain is excellent. The
oat crop is good and the grain is heavy.
FINE WHEAT.
Last fall Mr.. Parker Forwood (of Parker
sowed one quart of Seneca white wheat, from
which lie harvested and threshcd forty.four
quarts of most beautiful wheat. The wheat
heads were from four to six inches in length
Who can beat this9
hawk VS.. WEASEL.
On last Saturday one of our citizens was in
one of his fields, when he saw q weasel running
Oh the top of fence. Whilst he was looking
at the agile little fellow, hawk of the largest
size bounced on the luckless varment, and start.
ed to carry him off in his talons. He had not
proceeded far, however, when he commenced to
fly wildly in circles and in few moments both
hawk and weasel fell to the ground. The man
ran to where they fell, and found the hawk quite
dead. The weasel had his enemy by the throat
and appeared to be sucking his blood, and it was
with some difficulty that he drove the courageous
little fellow away The animal did not appear
to be hurt. MARS.

CHEESE FACToRY.--The farmers and dali
rymen in the vicinity of Perrymansville are
about to try the experiment of a cheese fac
tory. A joint stock company has been or
ganized, with Charles W. Michael, President :;
8. W. Raymond, Secretary, and James G.
Malcolm, Treasurer. An eligible location has
been selected at the head of Church Creek,
near Perrymansville, and there factory "A
by CO feet in dimensions has beer built. A
competent and experienced man has been
found to superintend the operations, which
will be commenced in few days. The cost
of the building and apparatus has been be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The company con-
sists of sixty members. The shares of stock
are ten dollars each, and we learn that the
whole of it is taken. No doubt the enter
prise will be of great value to the neighbor-
hood, which is largely engaged in dairy farm.

UNFORTUNATE AccIDENT-An unfortu-
nate accident occurred on Tuesday afternoon,
by which an infant son of Mr. Edward Halp
who lives near Abingdon, was wounded in
the mouth by ball from pistol Itappears
that an elder brother, n little fellow about
three years old, had taken the pistol, which
was a diminutive one, out of drawer where
it had been lying for years, and had been
playing with it. The baby, about fifteen
months old, was seated on his mothers lap,
and beginning to fret, Mrs. Hall picked up
the pistol, and to amusc him called hisatten-
tion to its bright silver mounting. AS Ii
raised his head to look, the pistol was dis
charged, the ball taking effect under the left
nostril and lodging in the mouth. The mo
ther was of course almost frantic with grief
but had presence of mind to summon help,
and sent for the child's ftthcr and for physi-
clans. Before the latter arrived however,
arrangements were made to convey the child
to Baltimore, where the ball was extracted by
Professor Chris. johnson. The little fellow
is now rapidly recovering.

CUTTING AFFRAY IN THE SECOND DIS
TRIcT.-On Friday night of last week during
Il pic mic held by number of colored per.
sons, at Welton Curtis's, in Bush River Neck,
below Perrymansvillc, whisky was circulat-
ed freely, and the men became drunk and
quarrelsome. An alteration arose between
colored mai named Jacob Ridgely and
some brothers named Holland, during which
Alexander Holland struck Ridgely. The lat
ter drew knife, and made an onslaught
upon the Hollands inhicting a severe wound
upon the throat of Alexander, in close PROV
unity to the jugular vein, and also slightly
wounding the other brothers. When the
ARRAY occurred the party were justabout sit
ting down TO supper, and the wounded man
rushed among the guests, the blood flowing
profusely, producing the greatest consterna-
ton and alarm-the colored people flying in
all directions. The pic mic thus ended alb.
ruptly. Hollands wound was scwed up by
physician, and the following Sunday all
hands attended large meeting of colored
persons at the Union Chapel, in the same
neighborhood No arrests were made.
