 The beautiful weather still continues, al though for the past two days it has been con siderably cooler. N
 All of the farmers are busy getting in hay, rye, &c. The rye crop is first rate, and the grass crop much better than was at first thought. Oats are coming on rapidly and will soon be in harvest; they do not promise to be as good crop as last year.
 There is some prospect of an Advent Camp-meeting here, we understand, at no ve- sy distant day. We do not at present know where it will be held, but there is some talk of the pine grove near Swift's Bridge.
 The potato crop in some places seems to be almost failure of everything except bugs; and unless we have more rain soon the pota- toes will be scarce and small.

 THR MAGNETIC NEEDLE = Some people think that the needle points to the north, but this is not the case. In 1911 my father made an observation and came to the conclusion that it pointed 4 degrees 56 minutes west of north. h iS32 we established meridian line at East Street, boring hole in rock, the compass was set there, and thread with weight was attached to high frame at some distance, and moved into a line with the north star when that star was on the Meridian above or below the pole, for the North Star goes around the Pole in 8 small circle. The next morning the line was continued on and hole made in another rock, and it was found that the needle pointed 6 degrees west of north. These observations were continued every year. In 1S41, the west Declination was 2 degrees, the change having been very great. I made it degrees in 1859, and last week found it to be Sa degrees, and had the same result on an accurate Meridian made by Edward Norton who used the Nautical Almanac tables for To- eating it. This is considered to be an impor- tant subject by eur Courts, for when survey of land has been accurately taken, the hnes in dispute can be settled by knowing the varia- tion of the needle. H. N '

 An interesting match of 1000 points at whist was completed recently by. four gentle man in this village; the winning pair making 1903 points to their opponents 994. Themost remarkable feature of the match was the per sistent i'll luck of the winners till just at the close. The defeated side had the lead from the very first till their score had reached 990, at which point they were passed for the first time. The total number of games played was 184, the winners making 95 to their opponents 89. At the 25th game the defeated side was 90 points ahead; at the tooth, only points i; at the 150th, about 60 points; at 980 they were still about 30 points in advance. It was then that luck turned over to the other side who passed them at 990 and won the match only nine points ahead. The best hand held con- tained eight trumps; the highest card Tn one hand was an eight; in another a nine. Only one ''slam"-the entire 13 tricks-was made during the match. The side which had been winning all the way through only to see for tune jilt them just at the last, retired some what disgusted, we are told.
 The Gunnery first nine and the first nine Nameless, B. B. C., of this place, had an in- teresting game at the Fair Ground in this vil- lage on Saturday afternoon. A special train came up from Washington with large crowd of friends of the Gunnery club and there were more spectators on the ball ground than we have seen out in years. The Washington boys were short their usual catcher, sick of humps, but the young man who took his place caught very nicely. The result of the game was ten to one in favor of the Nameless, the following being the score by innings:
 INNINGS 3 8 4 5 6 789
 Nameless o 4 o 0 o O o 6 0-10 Gunnery 1 0 O 00O o o 0-.1
 The pitching of E. Mower, of the Namelcss, though little wild at first, was very swift and extremely difficult to hit. On the other side the pitching of Bishop was more accurate though slower and proved quite effective. The Gunnery fielding, with the exception of a little fumbling by the short-stop, and some de- moralization in the second and eighth innings, was almost faultless.
 The Nameless, as organized for Saturdays play is very formidable club They much outweighed their opponents and the catching of Dean was remarkably flne G. Richards made a neat one hand catch, and a splendid two base hit, while D. Richards played first base admirably. Indeed the play of the club was capital throughout, the single run made by the Gunnery nine being due to wild pitch ing at the outset of the game.
