The growing crops Of cereals in every
part of the State give promise of an abund-
ant yield. The wheat is represented as look
ing universally well, and the farmers, many
Of them stimulated by the desire to show
the results Of their industry and enterprise
have exhibited specimens Of wheat stalks
that show evidence of . progressive spirit,
and will Indeed prove salutary Of an i'm
proved system Of farming, to the old school
in which the same old manners that de.
scended from our fathers, was observed
year after year.

A TABLE just compiled and given to ths
press furnishes some idea Of how greatly
the brunt Of the Centennial has fallen upon
the shoulders of some Commonwealth
while others have paid up their subscrip
tions pretty much BY patriotic talk. The
total amount paid in, including the contri.
buttons from foreign countries, and except.
ing the government appropriation, is a..
Ia, ,140. OF this amount Pennsylvania
paid 81 ,ol4, ,14s, leaving tho amount paid
from all other sources $51s,o9s. Pennsyl-
vania by her liberal contributions to this
noble undertaking has certainly earned all
the honor Of its being given upon tho soil
of that proud old Commonwealth. New
York with all Of its jealousies, and the
ridicule of It's egotistical journals, only con-
tributed little over half = million. Della
ware is put down at $13,394. Mississippi
is the lowest of all, only giving twenty
dollars.

The gloomy accounts that have been cir
culatcd from the peach growing districts OF
the State have been somewhat relieved by
the reports from Kent county, which re-
present the prospects Of the crop as more
encouraging than for many years, in that
immediate section. In Sussex county, it is
stated, that the outlook for the crop is one
by no means bright. 4 gentleman from
there yesterday tsated that heavy frost
had struck the trees while they were in an
advanced state OF budding, and by this
means the crop had been blighted. From
the Maryland districts tho accounts are not
ano more encouraging, and it is feared that
unless there should be sone change that
the peach crop this year will be a failure of
comparison with tho large yields last year.

THE efforts being made by the property
owners of many Of the new streets of Viii
mington, to have them improved, should be
properly noticed by Council Committees.
This effort applies to tho widening of pave
ments in front Of improved property, In
relation to which there ia an ordinance OF
the city. 1t 10 not only neritorious from
tho fact that its enforcement will greatly
hasten the proper grading and eonditioniAg
of the streets in the newly built up sections
but is q right that majority of property
owners have a right to demand, even If ons
or two, that it compels to make improve

THERE has oeen considerable prating
among the Republicans that no dominant
power on the face of the globe would have
been ~ lenient to rebels as they were to
those who participated in the secession
movement, when the offenders were all
within range Of their intensest furies if they
had been disposed to exercise them. There
is greater leniency than this with cruel
Spain, where an order has been issued per.
mitting officers who joined Don Carlos, to
resume service in the Royal army with the
same rank they held previous to deserting

ED. REPUBLICAN,
We again write you with all the
glories of wtpter around US, but with
sense of future foolishness; true, no
one can tell what the morrow may
bring forth, we predict a flush of
April fools.
MIR. and Mrs. VIM. Wales started
for New York on Monday; they in
tend making their home at Portville,
that State, for time at least.
Homer Towner was afflicted with a
serious sore throat and cold for nearly
week; we are glad to see him around
again.
Several petty thefts have occurred
in the neighborhood lately, of pro-
visions and bed clothing. Hard times
do not cover such offenses.
One load of Mr., Harringtons
household goods passed through here
yesterday bound for Edenburg. We
consider him truer prophet than the
grounding; he was sure of sleighing
enough to finish hauling the sawed
lumber, and so there is, almost. Hope
he will come back to sun himself oc.
casionally.
We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. McCray aud wife, now of Tionesta,
yesterday.
Miss June Siggins is about to re-
turn to her home, after quite lengthy
visit; the young people will regret her
departure, in the words of that good
old tune, "March is not SO pleasant t
as June" tf.C. Ei.r

Southern Travels.


On the 10th of February, we arose
from our slumber, with sore throat,
which We proceeded to lubricate in the
prevailing Southern fashion, and vast
ed some powder at pelicans and plume
birds. The old sailor cooked break
fast for US, and we bid him farewell
and started on. p a3 l-Al4
After getting through the Narrows,
we ran upon several oyster beds, but
as the wind was not very stiff, and our
boat was strong, we suffered no incon-
venience except having to get iuto the
water to shove the boat off. On ac-
count of the small size of our boat,
and the large amount of luggage there
in, we didn't take in any oysters, but
we were assured by several reliable
parties, that those taken here we're
superior to any they had ever seen
elsewhere.
Shortly after leaving the Narrows,
we pass st. Lucie P. O., which is
about mile and half North of In.
dian River Inlet. Here lives old man
Payne, who is postmaster Jim, his
son, who is Collector of the Port, and
another son, who raises cattle in the
neighborhood. The old man bears a
hard name among the neighbors, as a
crusty and cross old cuss. 1t is said,
(although just how much of the story
is fact, and how much fancy we don't
pretend to know that the old man on
one occasion, some years ego, went
down to Jupiter, took the man out of
the lighthouse, stole all the oil, and
waited patientlybio ior ssome vessel to
come ashore on account of the absence
Of the light. All we know of him is,
that he will not sell northerners, bread,
flour, OF anything else, unless they will
board with him, and pay $3.50 per
day therefor.
The Inlet is about hundred yards
wide, is five to eight feet deep, and is
a good place to catch fish. There is
not very much sailing done through
the inlet, because boats that are use
ful ON the sea, would at once stick on
the oyster bars if they came in; while
those used on the river are not of much
use on the high seas.
At Bell's, just opposite, we stopped
from about eleven o'clock until four.
Cooked some very sad fapjacks, and
some good coffee and pork. While
cooking, along came Cracker" who
was acquainted with Paget, and he ate
dinner with Us, evidently relishing
those sad haPjacks as rare treat. The
cracker is character. His wants are
few, and easily supplied: A little
meal, little pork, and little whisky,
and he is as near happy as he ever
gets on this earth; but lie never smiles.
His look is always melapcoly, and
nothing appears TO astonish him as
much as to hear good hearty laugh.

&C. j. Fox, we'll AMI favorably
known to a great many of our citizens,
and especially to the lumbermen of
this vicinity, died at jamestown, on
Monday of last week. Mr.. Fox was
for many years a resident of this
county, aud at one time held the office
ofTreasurer.
s. j. Wolcott Esq, was In town
last week, looking well himself, and
reporting all his folks in tho same
condition. Mr.. Wolcott Informed us
that be would probably move back to
this place before another year. Ifhe
does he may rest assured that he will
be heartily welcomed by all.
Considerable moving took place
on Saturday last, but VIC we're not able
to ascertain just who the parties were,
or where they moved to. Miss S. A.
Dale took Possession of the house
which she purchased day or two ago.
situated immediately south Or the
Forest House. VIM. Kiilmer, who
vacated the house, moved into the
building just below Haslet's.
Prof. j. U. Ogden has started
singing class in this place, and judg-
ing from what the members say, il is
progressing finely. The Prof. comes
here highly recommended as music
teacher. He teaches all the different
branches of music, such as piano, or
gan, violin, vocal &c. Tionesta has
long felt the need of first class music
teacher, and now that there is one
among US he should be properly pat
ronized, and we have no doubt but
that he will be. Mr.. Ogden intends
closing the term with an entertain
ment. His siRgings are held In the
Universalist church, while he is stop
ping at the Tionesta House. His
terms are very reasonable, and he
guarantees satisfaction IN every case.
Capt. Jocob Kepler, Delegate to
Lancaster from Forest County, re.
turned home last Tuesday. His init
mate personal acquaintance with
United States Senator William A.
Wallace, and all the other leading
men of the party, put him at once into
the foreground and rendered him a
prominent figure. He was probably
one Of the most marked delegates
present, and had undoubtedly much
influence in shaping the action of the
Convention. In word, he was, in
manner. looked up to by the members,
and his views and wishes were respect
ed, consulted, and carried great weight
in the deliberations of the body

Yes, that is undoubtedly true, for
he says so himself. The Capt, un-
doubtedly run that convention Just to
suit himself as the result of it looks
very much like some Of his work.
Quite strange, however, that he did
not head the Pa. delegation to St.
Louis.
