THIS has been wonderful year
for vegetarians. The earth has tenn
ed with fatness through stalk, vine
and tree-a blessing which has gone
far to redeem the land from the stin-
gy, selfish policies of men. Wherev-
err good seed has been sown in this
section the yield has been rich in
quality and bountiful in quantity.
This leads US to speak of the superior
quality of the seed furnished the pub
lie last spring by VIM. Y. McCulloh,
Esq. We had occasion at that time
to say they were "the test grown of
any seeds in the market" and to
promise that they would "come up
without defalcation and hold their
own to full maturity if properly en-
couraged." Our experience verihes
IN toto all chat was printed last spring.
PERSONAL. Semmes Deve,mon
arrived from Oakland Wednesday on
visit to friends in Frostburg, About
the first of next month he will enter
the University Of Maryland for a
course of study. A friend informs
us that his numerous acquaintances in
Oakland greatly regret his departure,
so popular is he among the social gen.
tlesolk of that delightful place.
A. T. Hamill, of Berlin, Pa, is

Ex-Mayor J. S. Metzger, of this
place, returned Wednesday from a

county, Pa. He feels better after q
recreation SO pleasant, though brief
SALE OF CATTLE.-MondaY last
Senator John S. Combs, Of LoEacon-
coming, effected sale Of forty head
of cattle for $1,525. We understand
Mr.. S. J. Livengdod, Of Pennsylva-
MIA, made the purchase for Hon. Will
liam t. Hamilton, of Washington
county, democratic nominee for gov
eInor. The cattle were raised on the
Senator's celebrated "Stone House
farm in Garrett county. Apropos,
the question has been raised-is this
d republican or DEG ocratic gain?
LARGE PEAoHEs.-W. R. Percy,
Esq, exhibited Thursday too peaches
weighing one pound, or a half pound
each They ara CT the Foster varie-
ty, the largest that grow. These
came from tree in Mr.. Percy's gar
den which this year produced twenty
three peaches of corresponding size

peaches who can beat these may now
have the floor 10 speak out.
In addition to the improvements
