HIGH Latitude.

From away up in the northern part OF
the State Of Maine there comes TO us the
Oxford Democrat, laden with old-time
names and memories.
The Democrat, now in its forty-fourth
volume, has year after year, sturdily
braved the winter storms and biting cold
of that hyperborean region, and treats it
all in gOOd-natured sort Of way, as if it
was the most natural sort Of thing in the
world to have frost-bitten ears and ach-
ing toes. The editor even wakes jolly
over "The bells, the clatter and the clan
COR of the bells the music and the laugh
ter Of the bells = Sleigh bells.) If our
memory serves US correctly, there was a
time away back in the dim past, when we,
too, laughed at the music of the bells, but
since that we have found q more genial
cline where the orange blossom delights
our senses; we eat strawberries and
cream, and bask in warm, pure sunlight,
even at the very time our cousins in
Maine are rejoicing at the music Of their
bells, and pounding their fingers to keep
them from freezing did you say "sOur
grapes ," Well, it may be so, but, all
the same. We must have our little growl,
and, in fact, We are rather disposed to
quarrel with the Democrat on account OF
the provokingly unconscious way in which
he harrows up our feelings about sleigh
rides.-San Francisco. Com. Adv.

Dear Vindicator
From reports coming from different
portions of this parish l learn that the
cotton crop is very light. l an confirm

former letters "that the yield would not
exceed one third Of Il rr"p.' Our corn
crop is good, the corn being generally
}eavy. | counted the grains on one ear
yesterday and found lll6. having Is rows
and 81 grains to the row, don't you think
that is pretty good tor the pincwoodS ?
and this corn was raised on land that has
ucr,r been ttrtilizcd, and old land at
that. The health of the country is now
good, and our NJ. DIS have little to do.
