| GARDENvILLE ITEMs.-We have had glorious
rain at last, which has done vast amount of
good to the growing crops, but it is too late for
some things, unless we have good fall. Those
who were fortunate enough to have their fodder
| cut off have saved considerable labor most of
| the corn is blown down and will be difficult to
| harvest.
/ was surprised the other day when I asked a
friend if he would not subscribe for the Union
He told me he read the paper every week and then
gave it to another to read, and upon inquiry
found that it passed through three families, the
subscriber never seeing it again. Both borrowers
are amply able to take the paper.
The Gardenvile Band, on Tuesday night paid
a friendly visit to Mr.. j. Carvill Councilman and
gave him musical treat, after which the mem
bers handsomely entertained.
All whom | have met are in favor OF the INDIE
pendent movement and are quite certain that the
ticket will meet with this fall should good
men be placed upon it. hope the convention
will act wisely and make proper selections.
Yours, MARK A. RANGE.
FROM CALvERToN.-Messrs. Editors During
the progress of Summerfield camp-meeting our
little village was somewhat revived by the in
crease of travel both by railroad and turnpike.
The dust ON the road at the close of camp was
several inches in depth, making it quite unpleas
ant for us villagers. Now that the meeting is
over it is quiet as usual. The rain of Thursday
and Friday settled the dust and last Sunday was
clear, cool and very pleasant.
The public school opened here on Monday, Sept.
Sd. At present Mr. Ettinger, teacher, has upon
his roll about IS scholars. The Hebrew Orphan
Asylum, up t0vacation, patronized the school, but
since then have concluded to employ a tutor at
the Asylum, which caused decrease in the at
tendance.
On Sunday last Abe. Winters, arrested for being
drunk and disordery by constable Brown, was
committed to Towsontown Jail by Justice Leh-
man.
Townsend street extended is being curbed and
paved, and when completed will be great con-
venience to the community in going to and from
the city.
Revival services expected to begin here
soon. B.
