f'armingdale Locals.

The song of the moving machine is the music
heard all over the land. 1t comes from up the
Dad and down the road from the Chelsea side,
and everywhere, and the haying campaign is in
full force. Farmers think that the crop is not
quite so good as last year. Smart, able-bodied
young men are making about two dollars day
and boarded, and do not conine their employers
to ten hours a day. The largest crop will be cut
on the farm of Daniel Lancaster, Esq, his yield
being about one hundred tons and upwards, en-
ploying two double moving machines, horse rakes,
pitching machines, &c, and about ten men.
The heaviest grass will be found on the farm of
Capt. A: Rich, Jr., where dressing from the glue
factory has been used.
The finest garden in these parts may be seen
at Mr. George Seavy's, just below Loudon Ill., on
Main street.

A Revenseful Organ.

The ltomach is a revengeful organ. If we as
sign il indigestbe food, it not only refuses to per-
form its flee, but inAicts upon us unspeakable
tortures, such as those of indigestion, collie, cho-
era, morbus, &c. Not content with giving us
pain, it frequently inaugurates an excessive and
wasting diarrh@s, called dysentery, which carries
US to our graves. With a view to prevent these
consequences, as soon as the stomach gives notice
by premonitory twinges that its cargo is not to its
liking, wineglassful or two of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Btters should be swallowed. This admirable
digestive cordial will promptly reconcile the re-
fractory organ to its contents, and prevent any of
those annoying and possibly fatal results which
the presence of ndgestible food in the stomach is
liable to produce. The Bitters are also superb
tonic, restorative and appetizer.

Mr.. Burnh.m wsrawell, the prison reformer,

Mr.. Burnham Wardwell, the prison reformer,
who is ecturng in the eastern section Of the State
writes us that he meets as violent rebels in Maine
as he did in Virginia. Last Sunday, in public
address in Orland, Mr. Wardwell made in sub
stance, the following remarks:
During the rebellion in many sections of Vir-
gna, at times the women and children were left
entirely in the hands and to the mercy of their
black slaves, who protected and supported them,
while their masters were fighting back those who
desired and did finally hberste them. Many per-
sons say we have no record of such chr stian,
may say Christ-like forbearance on the part of
white men. ! say we have. In the State of
Friday, July 9th A. D. 1878, I met an American
traitor; one who says he gloried at the death of
every man or boy you sent to the defence of this
nation. One who gloried, or boastingly says he
did, at the destruction of life and property; and
to-day says he would give his right hand, if by
doing it would make JEFF Davis President Of this
nation; and you protect him, allow him all the
rights and privileges other men enjoy. Glory to
God for that religion which enables us to love our
enemies.
Show pity Lord, O Lord forgive,
Let such rebellious rebels live.

Josiah Hutchins of North Monmouth, came
near being killed last week. He was building a
load of hay in the field, when the horses started,
throwing him backwards from the load to the
ground, Mr.. Hutchins striking upon his head. He
was taken up in an nsensible condition, but came
to before reaching the house. He is now able to
be out, although the conclusion produced by the
fall famed him severely. The wonder is that his
neck was not instantly broken. Mr.. Hutchins is
about IS wears of age.
