Eds. TeL:-Ths wheat crop in this sec
tion is remarkable. There never was bst-
ter crop raised here. This is partly due
to the use Of phosphate as afsrtilizer. The
farmers here are getting to use large guam
titles of it and all agree that it pays.
Messrs. Benson & Atwater have sold large
quantities this season. The corn crop
stands good, but owing to the cool wealth
er is not of very good color. However the
past few days have been warmer and it be-
gins to look better. l do not think there
is as great an acreage Of potatoes planted
this year as last. A great many have
planted late, some as late as last week.
There are several severe cases Of sick
ness in town. One very peculiar ease
is that of the wife of Mr.. E. Fl. Wiley.
She has been sick now over two months,
part of the time so weak she could scarcely
raise hand, and then again raving and
requiring the strength of two men to keep
her on the bed and from doing herself and
others violence. Her case puzzles the
doctors. Post Master Hawkins has Been
quite seriously i'll for several weeks, but is
slowly improving and we hope will soon
be able to resume his ddtiss. -.1g f-T Z
The two stores here are doing q fair

factory reports fine lot Of cheese on

day which was refused.
Business at the Tannery of Mr.. Baker
is not very brisk just now.

ture, is stlllin town, and thinks Of resr-s.

what We hear of them in other places it
was no great loss.

DEPRAvTTY. reader will haye no
ticed that Wagon Jack" was convicted
at the present term of court, on his own
confession of keeping a house Of. prosti-
tuition. The manner Of that keeping re-
Veals one of the foulest, most disgusting
and revolving chapters OF human degrade
tiOn and depravity that has ever been de-
veloped. 1t appeared on the trial that
this brute was himself the aveWed propri-
etor Of the concern, with whom arrange
msnts were made, and to whom all reve-
nues had to be paid, eoclly and dsliberstly
aud from mercenary motives, making mer-
chandise of his own wife's virtue. The
little soy--son of this wretch-who has
been indicted for the shooting, is repre-
seRted as bright, honest and harmless
little fsllow.whe in his activity, had done
much of the work in the manufacture of
the wagon jacks, and knew nothing about
the shooting, or where the pistol was kept.
The fact Of the indictment was a matter
of some surprise, verdict Of not guilty
was matter about which there was no
question or delay with the jury. When
put upon the stand he told q plain and
simple story, that his father asked him
who it was that tore off the boards of the
house, and that he pointed out Brown
the diseased. Though the testimony did
not show from what hand tho firing came
it was the belief that "Wagon Jack" him
self, was the person. Beside the members
of the family alluded to, there were two
daughters, against whom, notwithstanding
their association, there was no evidence
that they had helped to carry on the pros
titutions Of the house.

The Tramps. Paradise.

There continues to be considerable COM
plant from the police and citizens at the
Harbor of the large number of tramps and
desperate characters in that part of the
town. There is gang composed of about
twenty-five members, that bid defiance to
the officers and every night after the stores
are closed they assemble in the vicinity Of
the bridge, where they fight, curse, and in
dulge in all manner of disorderly conduct,
making it decidedly unhealthy for any de-
cent person to pass. These fellows spend
the day sleeping on the banks in the shade
and loafing about in front of the saloons
and stores, and are mistaken by the casual
observer for dock lasorers, when in fact
they are the worst element at the Harbor.
Some of them are drunk every night and
how and where they get their liquor is a
mystery. They have been offered work
with pay at zoe an hour but they turn away
with all the airs Of millionaire. On several
occasions they have entered stores and
shops and demanded goods and could only
be induced to leave by being raised on the
toe of heavy boot. Several of them have
been arrested by the police and brought be-
fore the Police Justice but as they have no
money they are discharged, and will be
back at the Harbor again before the police
man. II they are locked up they are
happy, for the village then furnishes
them good warm meals, and the cor
poration foots the bill, which is 60
cents per day. What the corporation needs
is work house for these fellows, but as we
have not this necessity, let some balls and
chains be purchased and see what effect
this kind Of iewelry will have on them.
The present police force at the HArbor is
powerless after business hours, and it would
be much healthier for them to be home and
abed.

WILLIAMS HISTORY Of the County is out
and copy was shown US on Monday last,
for the purpose of making such note OF it
as might be considered due, and for the
better preparation for receiving it by sub
scriptions by informing them that the de-
livery Will begin next week, and be con-
tinued until ali shall be supplied-probab-
ly slong in July. The .size-lsrge qnarto-
is probably known to the reader from a
recollection of that OF an adjoining county
in Pennsylvania, which was shown as a
sample on thestart. The volume has 25O
pages, and makes good formed volume.
It is gotten up in good style, as to letter
press-lead long primer typs-illustrations,
maps, etc., are all in the best styles of the
art, and the binding tasteful and substan-
tial.
The contents of the work have a wide
range and run through all departments of
interest and information that could be ex-
pectsd or the scope Of the work would al
low. Notwithstanding the muitifariOus
character OF this, it has been drawn from
the highest ard most reliable sources, and
is entitled to the confidence of the reader.
Photographs or sngravings of most of the
prominent men and women of the county
are classified by profession, and accom-
panied by brief and succinct biographical
sketches. These are not confined to the
living only but embrace also some Of the
dead. The classification and arrange
ment is perfect and admirable, and in such
simplicity, that given subject may be
easily and readily referred to. The vol
ume is an epitome of such full and general
county information, that scarcely any
thing of public ceunty interest has been
omitted, end the Messrs. Williams have
not only shown great thoughtfulness and
research but sound Judgment and discri-
minatiOn in the range and choice Of sub
iects. They have been equally happy in the
selection of agents, assistants and writers,
in gathering ur, condensing, pruning and
abstracting and putting into the best pcs
sible form the matter submitted. The
work has been made so important for re-
ference, that no library with any pretenss
to fullness can get along without it.
Though it carries its own eommendation,
we feel that we should not haYe done JUS
tice to either the authors or the public,
without giving it our heartiest approval
and recommendation. and the expression
of the wish that may find place in every
household of the county.
