E8-The frosts SO longed looked and prayed for
BY the afflicted people of the South have at length
arrived and it is expected that the pestilenee will
now rapidly disappear The fever has been more ia
tai this year than in any of its vsitatiOns for many
years, and its victims exceed ten thousand in
number. The effect of the plague upon the bust
ness and prosperity of the southern country has
been as fatal upon the life of the people, many
fourishing cities being depOPuated, their streets
being deserted and presenting dreAry waste, the
property of the fleeing citizens being at the mercy
of the gouls that are found following in the train
of peoples woes generally. Every person with
one spark of sympathy for suffering humanity will
be thankful that the worst is over, and that bet
ter day is dswning for those SO sOrely afflicted.

of loaves of bread. We much interested in
the museum and its adjoining library, which con-
tanned fine collection of lacustrine remains from
the various Swiss lakes, many pieces of tapestry
most beautifully wrought, several of which be-
longed to Charles the Bold, and two or three
boxes made of oak and supposed to be more than
two thousand years old. In color and frmness it
was much like ebony. In the library the lady at
tendant, after showing us many beautiful books
from the early times, one more than 800 years
old, knowing us to be party of Americans,
brought out with look of genuine pleasure
large volume published by the United States
Government containing letters and communion
tions of coincidence from other governments on the
assassination of President Lincoln. But with only
mentioning the carved wood work, music boxes,
and cuckoo clock for which Bern is noted, we
must take our readers on through Freiburg with
its celebrated organ to Lausanne, where at the
Hotel Gibbon, in the garden of which the his
torian wrote part of the "Decline and Fall OF
the Roman Empire" we will leave you to recover
from the rapid travel you have had in this letter,
ARE yourselves for a trip with us next
the Iete Noire Pass to Mt. Blanc.

Es-The election takes place in this State for
Congressman only on Tuesday next, and with the
exception of two or three districts there seems to
be very little excitement or interest manifested
In this portion of the I'd Congressional district
never saw political campaign so dull and unin-
teresting, and from this we infer that the vote in
Baltimore county will be unusually small. In the
9th Congressional district the chances for the cleo
ton of the Republican candidate are very good,
while in the 9Th district is thought the prospects
for COL Crane, Republican candidate, are daily
Frightening. But the contest will be over
and the counting of the ballots will tell the tale

Wood, are running for Congress in the 18th New

as in politics now, though formerly in partnership.
William, the Democrat, is now the head of the
Eagle moving machine works at East Albany, and
Walter, Republican, of the Wood moving ma
chine company at HoOsick Falls. Their present
rivalry is not a pleasing spectacle.

God, in His allwise providence, has seen fit to
remove from our midst one who was fondly loved
At an age when the first flowers of manhood were
budding into bloom death marked him for his

the kindness of many friends strove but in vain
to win him from the grave.
Guard, oh, earth, the form we cherished,
Heaven his sainted spirit keep,
And we night winds sigh requiem,

Nearly all the securities were registered and can

perpetrators of the burglary and up to this time
no arrests have been made.

G9~F Fractional currency has become extremely
scarce, and it is rare now to specimen of any
denomination. There is still, however, the i'm
mense sum of sic, 2s7, 429 in this money that has
not been presented for redemption at the Treasu-
ry, and it is more than probable that 100000
of this amount is irrevocably destroyed. People,
as rule, were much more careless with this money
than with notes of larger denomination, when it
was freely circulated, and in various ways much
of it was annihilated. In the large fires in Chica-
go and Boston, few years ago, large amount
was consumed, and this loss to individuals was so
much gain to the Government

EB~The Indian war cloud, which over
Swallowed the West a few weeks ago, appears to
be passing away without the apprehended storm.
The latest reports indicate return to 'peace and
good will" The Sioux, with the old chief Red
Cloud at their head, manifest a strong inclination
to be at peace with the whites, and it is believed
that the Cheyennes, who have caused some alarm
lately, will settle down quietly if the promises of
the Government to them be faithfully carried out
by the agents.

place for the location of the County Agricultural

not blessed with steam communication with the

pay our monied men, merchants and others to

MS~A Another Richmond in the field. David
Miller, of Carroll county, is another Independent
candidate for Congress in the I'd district He
was in Towsontown Thursday distributing his
tickets, leaving about thousand at our office, and
if Tuesday next should prove a good day for vot-
ing, we will endeavOr to put them all in for him.
We asked Miller if he was workngman, Green
hacker, a soft money man, or what. He made no
reply but held his hand up for us to inspect. 1t
looked like apiledriver or maui, or something of
that kind, and we take it for granted Miller is a
hOrney- handed son ola gun.
After arriving in Towsontown, Mr.. Miller
chilled the place., that is, posted handbills calling
a meeting at the Court House at o'clock. He
was on hand at the hour named, and having Dor
rowed printing paper from us, had his speech
written out and proceeded to deliver it to an
audience of about forty persons, who gathered out
of curiosity. Here is the speech it was written
and spoken by himself and we are doubtful
whether a more "amoosn" grafton was ever de-
livered in this fair land of ours:
