The Hanover, Pa. Spectator appeared
in a new suit and considerably enlarged
last week. The paper makes a neat ap.
pearance, the head rules, however, detraet
very much from its beauty. We doubt
whether there was really demand for its
enlargement, as we find several columns
occupied with not very profitable adver.
liscments. We extend our copgratula,
lions to the Spectator on its success.

The reward which men receive through
the bounty Of benefcent Providence,
from a generous soil sweetens their labor
and stimulates them to renewed exertion.
Harvest time, to the farmer, is one Of the
most interesting periods Of the year. 1t
Is an assurance to him that ''seed-time
and harvest shall never fail" and while
he gathers in the grass which is to be
transmitted into flesh, as call flesh is grass,
and while his CARRIERS overflow with the
golden grain, his heart overhows with
thankfulness to the Giyer Of all good. He
has sown his seed at seed-time, after due
preparation Of the soil, and watched il
with tender care and much anxiety, fear
ing the ravages Of the fly, the rust, the
mildew and the blight; and now that it
has escaped all these enemies and has
aourished and matured, he is about to
thrust in his sickle or his reaper and gath
err the golden sheaves, the fruits of his
own toll. 1t is time for joy and gratu-
lation, and in past ages Of the world it used
TO be celebrated as a festal occasion, in
which the tresses of the queen Of agricul-
ture were adorned with garland Of wheat,
Rnd there was music and dancing and song,
in honor of the gathering in of the fruits
Of the field. While the farmer has spe-
cial reasons for gratitude over his own
prosperity and abundance Of cereal wealth,
all other classes should rejoice with him,
for, literally and truly, the farmer feedeth
ALL A bountiful harvest, therefore, is a
time when every bosom should swell with
gratitude to Him who sends his rain upon
the just and the unjust, and giyeth to all
his portion in due season.

ACCIDENTAL SHooTlNa.-A letter from
GAINESVILLE, OHIO, gives the following particu
lars Of the accidental shooting of Frederick
Beekwith, nephew of Mrs. II. l.. Norris, of
this city. 1t says;
gloom was cast over society circles of
our city Friday afternoon by the report
that Fred. Beckwith, very estimable Young
man and son of Mr.. Eli b. Beexwith had shot
himself Fred. returned home about noon
from the rolling mill, where he clerks. and
asked his sister for something with which 10
clean his revolver A cloth was given him
and he retired to his room. In a few minutes
pistol report was heard and his father
rushed up TO the room, there to find his
eldest son in the agones Of death, and the
fatal weapon lying on the bureau. During
the day, Fred had fred of several loads. and
the superstition is that he thought the pistol
certainly empty ofits contents, and with muz.
zle toward him commenced cleaning it when
it was discharged, the ball passing directly
through the heart. Freds sudden and I'M.
looked for death is greatly mourned by all,
and the grief-stricken family receive the united
sympathy Of the entire city in this their great
affection

ARMLRoAD DEPor.-The trade and travel
over the railroad from Westminster. one
would think, ought to entitle this city to re.
spectacle brick depot, but the Company have
so far withheld the improvement. But for
the convenience afforded by the warehouse Of
Messrs. Grimes 4 Weaver, which is al times
greatly overcrowded, there would be no place
whatever TO shelter travellers from the heat or
cold, from rain or snow, from summer or
winter storms, while waiting for the trains.
will not our local director, our railroad
agents and others interested, unite in pres.
sing this matter upon the attention of the
management? Let us have neat, roomy,
tasty brick depot, Come, Mr.. Hood, and
gentlemen of the Board of Directors. il Is

mined, and that you had reciprocated the
liberality and good will of the people Of this
region towards your road, as evineed in their
constantly increasing trade aud travel over il.
