BEL AIR, FRIDAY, MAY 90, 1876.
Letter From Kent County.

The fine rains Of the pass wo weeks have
revived vegetation and glalloncd many
hearts. Wheat is looking very fine and
promises an abundant yield Oats and grass
are rather backward, owin4 10 the cold
weather. Corn planting is about over with.
The fruit crop upon which 80 many of us
depend is considerably damaged In the in
terror there will be from present prospects,
third of crop of peaches, while along the
water we will have two thirds ola crop. 1t
Is well established fact that wafer locations
are the most certain for fruit Pears, cher
RIGS and berries promise All abundant crop.
In some pear orchards the iiuchcssc have
been destroyed by the late irnss We have
twelve hundred of this variety in our pear
orchard, on Sassafras River that have set
their fruit very well.
POLITICAL.
The Democratic party is stronger than
ever in this county. The late action of the
Republican State Convention las doomed
that party here The sending of II colored
man to represent this county and the First
Congressional District in the National Con-
yention is something new t. us, and will be
the means of backsliders returning and new
converts being made. ReformcIs will be back
to us, they cannot stand anything that tends
towards Negro Supremacy.
sUDDEN DEATHS
Three of our old citizens, VIM Janyier,
James HURT and Col N. T. lIynson have
been suddenly taken from us ( late, by par.

and indifferent more thoughtful NJ

DEER PARK UNION SUNDAY SCHOOL.
This fine schools now working its sixth annu
al term. The school organized for the present
term in March last, and there has been full at
tendance every Sabbath since George l.. Scott
minister in the society Of Orthodox Friends, is
the superintendent. And under his able and
loving supervision, aided as he is by an able and
efficient corps of officers and teachers, the
school will no doubt maintain the high position
ii has heretofore held, of being one of The best
Sabbath schools in the county The choir is
an excellent one, and their singing is very fine.
Union, fraternal love, and a desire to please
every one peryadc the school, hence its great
success. Sabbath schools are the great institu-
tions of the day and are well calculated to be of
lasting benefit to the rising generation.
RAILROAD.
The railroad from York to Delta has been fin
ished to the latter place, which will be of great
value to persons living in that vicinity.

EVENING STARS.
Venus and Jupiter, two Of our most beautiful
planets, are now our evening stars and at this
time they shine with great brilliancy. At .
O'Clock we can see bright Jupiter hanging in
the orient shedding his silvcry rays, aud the
queen of the skies, the lovely Venus, in the N
W. looking like bright ball of molten gold.
TRAMPS.
These nOmadic yagabOnds are trayersing our
county in every direction, and are an intOlera-
bic nuisance. They demand food and shelter as
if they had legal right to do So and if they are
not supplied they often leave the premises they
invade uttcrlng deep curses, and often insult la
dies if they find them alone There ought to be
some remedy, so that the lazy raacuIs could be
punished by compelling them to work for their
living.
WHEAT AND OATS.
The growing crop of wheat looks very prom
ising. Oats have come up well and are growing
finely. Grass underline influence of the late IA
vorable weather is fast covering the ground with
n fine emerald coat.

Business is quite brisk on the canal and the
produce of the Susquchanna valley is passing
