Virginia and Pennsylvsnia came
cheering notes of an abundant harvest
of wheat and excellent prospect for
the corn crop. The wheat is now ripe
for the reaper, and indeed has already
been cut in some parts of Virginia. In
Maryland there is little complaint of
any injury TO that cereal either from
rust or the fly. The corn crop is also
said to be negotiating in manner in
different to the cut worm, the grub,
and similar enemies. Fruit is also re-
ported as in excellent condition-the
peaches being less in quantity but of
excellent quality. Altogether the
Centennial year promises to be appro-
priately fruitful Of natures bounties
as well as of patriotic impulses.
MIR. NJ. ]. Bond, who for several
years has been making lumber at
Bear Creek, lie about taking his de-
parture for Clam Lake, Michigan,
where, wo believe, he will take up his
residence for some time to come. He
has quite on an amount of timber
standing yet, but will not cut it at
present, on account of the low price Of
lumber. When the market gets up to
his figures, he will come back and cut
the rest of his timber. He is q good
square man, and we dislike to see him
leave.
And now the Democratic primar-

The new narrow gauge railroad
from Emlenton to Edenburg, is pro-
crossing rapidly. Two miles of the
EmlentoB end are already graded,
and rs men are at work. The ties
and track are to be laid as fast as the
road is completed, and very soon thu
iron horse with his train of cars will
come snorting over the hills to Eden
burg. Before the frost comes, or roads
get bad in the fall. they expect to have
the road completed.- Clarion Demo

Brown of the Democrat, and Wat
son and West of the Jacksonian, were
oil candidates for office at the recent
Democratic primaries in Clarion Co.,
and their hides all hang on the fence.
Brown says:
Having been q candidate for the
democratic nomination for Senate, and
the convention having nominated our
opponent, we simply remark that the
nominee-as well as every other man
on the ticket-shall receive our cor
dial support, with the understanding
that he and his friends all give the
same pledge, and squarely support the
whole ticket.
Mr.. West feels encouraged, as wit.
ness the following:
During the absence Of the senior ed.
itor the "local" will have to perform
double duty in the way of editing, but
as we are so highly elated with our
success as an office aspirant, we feel
fully competent for the task, and will
endeavor to keep up his part of the
work.
The result strikes Mr., Watson, how
ever, in very sore place, and he IN,
burdens himself as follows:
Life is bat brief, an uncertain
space of time allotted to man to pre-.
pare for long eternity, and how much
better to meet happy aud peaceful
end with Q good conscience, than to
rise to high Rttaipments and lofty
positions, in the worlds esteem,
through intrigue. treschery. falsehoOd, ,
perjury aud fraud.

 On Saturday the 18th was the funeral of that one of our citizens who was fatally in jured by his activities in the celebration of the 4th. It was a sad solemnity to witness the silent march through the streets of the Hope fire company, as they followed to the grave one of their number. On Sab bath evening the same company, in their uniform, attended service at the Congrega- tional meeting house, when Rev. E. Scud- der addressed them in memorial discourse. The subject wac "True Christian Bravery" with the text "The righteous is bold as 8 lion" At the commencement MT. 8. deli cately expressed his sense of indebtedness, with that of the community, to them; re- ferred to the assembling of the association there two years ago to pay respect to one whose memory was still fragrant. One death of Clarence Briggs, and Mir. Scudder had then invited the company to listen to discourse, there proposing to make it an- nual. It was coincidence of time that thus brought them together again in that house. In closing the sermon MT. s. spoke tenderly of the recently departed member, saying Charlie Phillips Gas he was familiar ly called by every one) was few evenings previous to the injury on his way home from the work of the day, when himself walking behind observed his elastic step and pleasant musical voice, ,humming tune as he went on his way. His excellent health and spirits, and evident strength was such that he could have envied him his physical power. He looked like man to live-not as one soon to die.
 In the few words of direct exhortation to the company, MT. s. fervently commended them each to make the prayer of the de- ceased (which was nearly his last utterance) their own-"May God be merciful to me. " MT. Phillips had passed four years in the service of the war, not receiving a scratch, and now met his death at the cannon's mouth...... This town is particularly favored in regard to it's pulpit aud pastoral services at the present time. The Young Mems Christian Association are aiming to be eff ficient coadjutors of the ministry in Chns- tian work. They are to have public meeting on the 26th inst. to dedicate hall to the purposes of the society .s...The la- dies of the Congregational church hold a series of entertainments at the town hall this week denominsted tart studies" The amusement is designed to add funds for the use of that society.....Mr. George G.. Pierce, native of your town, who exper- fenced severe visitation of illness some two months ago. is now steadily recover ing strength again.

Horrible Death.

Miss Sarah Goodloe, aged nineteen years, daughter of leading citizen of Portage, Penn., was bitten by rattlesnake last week while picking berries on Wycoff Mountain, mile and half from home, and being unable to reach home died 6 frightful death in the woods. She was ac- companied by two little girls, one of whom hastenedto the village with the news, and two physicians repaired to the spot as soon as possible, only to find her in the agonies of death. The little girls had succeeded in getting her half mile on the way home, when she could go no farther. The snake had bitten her twice in the calf of the right leg, and one of its fangs was found hang ing to her stocking. When MT. Goodloe and the doctor reached the spot the unfor- tunate young lady was fearfully swollen, and her flesh was rapidly turning black. The leg had swollen so that the skin had parted in several places. The doctor inn mediately pronounced her case hopeless, and she died in the greatest agony before she could be carried from the woods. One of the little girls, Laura Webb, says that when the snake struck Miss Goodloe they were near the top of the ridge, and were about to start home, having their pails filled with berries. Miss Goodloe threw herself on the ground shrieking and the little girl saw the snake still hanging to her leg. Sue ran up and seized it by the tail, jerked it loose and killed it with club. It was then that the fang was torn out.
 The deceased young lady was the only surviving child of her father, whose wife and son met with violent deaths, the for mer dying from lock-jaw caused by run ming needle in her foot, and the latter being gored to death by bull. .--.
