The late rains have done heavy dam

On Monday last, having little lei>-
use, We drove out the Blanchard roei,
noted the fine farms along the way,
and especially as we drew near the vii
lage OF Mt Blanchard. This place is
admirably situated On the high ground
above the Blanchard river. and in a
country OF exceeding richness. The
town itself, though not large, is thriv-
ing and enjoys good trade. IL has
two dry goods stores which keep am
pie stocks of goods, and are well pat
ronized, one large hardware store. a
good shoe store, (Which we noted was
enlarging its borders By an addition as
a work shop so as to give more room
for the display of goods, ia well arrang-
ed drug store, harness shop, several
groceries, two hotels, several saloons, a
carriage shop and grist mill. The
Postofice is in the drug store and is
presided over by Mr. Henry Greer.
There are goodly supply ofchurches,
and a school which is an honor to the
community, and is presided over by
friend Pittsford, who held has the posi-
ton for some years and each year add
ed to the high appreciation in which he
is held for his thoroughness and gentle
manly bearing. The farns in the
vicinity are among the best in the
county, and the ) ield of wheat this
year there, as in other parts of the
county, is among the heaviest ever
known 1t has all been securely har-
vested and will largely add TO the
wealth of the county The oars crop
is regarded above the average, and the
corr is in good condition with pros
poets of a large crop. We spent several
hours very pleasantly among the peo-
pie, and made quite a number of pleas
ant calls.
