| am very proud to say our prOspec-
tive corn crop is promising. Wheat is
making Il good average yield. We
have but few meadows in this vicinity,
consequently hay is scarce article. L

quence of So small crop, it had hardly
entered my mind. Saw logs, eggs and

The time is right at hand when all Of
our free schools commences, and some
have already taken up school ; others
will in short time, and the children
are clapping their hands for the joyous
day to arrive. \ word to the teachers:
it is not the amount of knowledge the
student gets over that improves him,
but the amount me gets in. Hence all
parents should be the better satisfied
with their children learning a "little
WELL" than to learn at IL great deal.
| hope that stranger whose horse
turned somersault ut Hoover's shop,
will be more sOciable in the future, and
leave off horse swapping.

Across the Chasn.

\ scene of national importance was
presented at the Fair ground yesterday,
when Colonel VIM. c. p. Breckenridge,
a man who, by name and position, was
conspicuous in the late war, and Hon.
John Sherman, whose craftsmanship i'm
the Union during that struggle were
memorable, met together, and were
driven before large audience of Ken
tuckians, amid the shouts and praises
from the multitude. But the climax of
restitution and reconciliation was
reached when Col. Breckenridge, the
beloved Confederate soldier, arose in the
carriage and in terms of praise, and
with words of brotherly kindness, pre-
sented the renowned statesman of the
Federals to a Southern audience, which
was waiting, i'm almost breathless silence,
to give him a round of applause and a
generous Kentucky welcome. Many
have crossed the "blOody ehasm" to
grasp hands and quit even the memory
of the past; but here was significant
clasping of handsand cordiality, which,
more than other similar events, perhaps
indicates the dawing of a new era in the
affairs and sentiments of the people of
this country.

the Northern or Union" people are not
tyrants, nor the blood-thirsty wretches
which rabbid politicians have painted
them. Wheresoever you find the noble
men-the true Americans-who fought
ON either field or forum for the great
armies of the rebellion, you will find
men of better feeling and better hearts
than is attributed to them on the pOlit-
zeal rostrum. The war isover, and none
are more willing to quit the struggle than
those wholead its hardest fought battles.
The narrow minds and flint hearts,
which were hid behind the scenes, may
yet rave and rant, and fight many
battle with pen and tongue, but the
hands which unsheathed the great
swords have beaten them into pruning
hooks, and dropped the shoulder straps
for the robes of priestly citizenship.
Yes, thank God, the war is over.
After sixteen years of bloodless strife
the struggles are at an end. The bonds
of union have been welded in blood,
with the hammers of red hot passions,
but, dripped in charity, they have cooled
and relapsed into perfect bonds, and the
States are yet tone and inseperable."
The camp fires will burn rs long as the
warm hearts of soldiers palpitate, but
their arms are grounded, and when they
are taken up again, let us hope there
will be no distinction by section, nor
difference by State, but that all will
march against the foe of a great people,
and not brother against brother.
Let not such an incident as that of
yesterday pass without a lesson. Gen.
Sherman is no hero, that he should be

MONTAGUE COUNTY, Sept.
Editor Herald:
When | wrote last, everything here
was parching for want of rain but
since that time, we have had copious
rain, and the prairies are now as green
rs in spring time. The rain, however,
did not come in time to save our corn
crop. Corn on the uplands in this coun-
ty is nearly an entire failure while the
bottom lands will make about half Il
crop. Cotton crops are better than
corn, but not more than half n crop of
cotton will be raised. Some cotton is
being picked, and brings two and one
half cents per pound in the seed.
On Friday last, occurred the first eX-
ecution that ever took place in this
county. Charles Harris was hung for
the murder of his brother. He displayed
the greatest GOODNESS and indifference !;
assembled the scafiold alone, and with rs
much ease and grace AS a public speak
er mounts the stand. He made a short
speech and admOnished young men To
take warning and shun such fate as
his. He requested the minister in at
tendance to offer n prayer and to sing
the "Sweet by and by,,' and he joined

When the Sheriff placed the rope
around his neck, he requested that the
knot be changed from the right to the
left side. He then announced his read
mess and the drop fell, and he died with
out struggle.
We have near this place, in the In
dian Territory, several springs which
have gained considerable nOtOriety on
account of the medicinal properties of
the water. They are known rs Oil
Springs, from the black oil or ar,which
floats on the water. This tar has an
order which seems to partake of coal
oil and pin tar. The springs are much
frequented by persons seeking health
or pleasure, from various parts of the
State and Territory. They are situated
in an unsettled portion of the country,
and the people go prepared to camp.
There are often fifty or more persons
camped there at one time, and they
spend the time pleasantly. There Is
not a house near, but they have cleared
of dancing ground, and most every
night they have merry dance On
the trees, boards may be seen bearing
the names of persons who have visited
the springs. The names are written
with tar from the Springs.
Deer, turkeys, antelOpes and prairie
hens are plentiful.

letters Stomach Bitters is pre-eminent-
ly popular. Wherever civilization
plants its foot on this continent, thither

is this surprising, for it is the medicine
of all others best adapted to the wants
of the Western emigrant, be he miner

remedy for the diseases to which he Is
most subject, and which are liable to be
brought on by a change of climate,
hardship, exposure, unacustomed air
and diet, and miasmatie atmosphere
and water. Among these are disorders
of the stomach and bowels, rheumatic
ailments, and malarious fevers, for all
of which Hostetter's Bitters is certain
specific. A course of the Bitters be-

or on arriving, will have the effect of
preventing the evils for which it is such
a signal remedy. 36-lm.

which caused IA considerable laugh by

Southern soldiers, that he should be ex-
allied beyond proper measure; but both
are representative men; one was fight
ing soldier; the other great statesman
not scoulding patriots, nor eriticising
Northern and Southern citizens.
Breckenridge was at home amid those
who fought with him and vet love and
honor him. Sherman was away from
his hearthstOne, amid strangers, ON the
soil which most taxed his attention in
Congress; amid people who were his op-
ponents i'm the measures of the war and
the plans of his official life. He came
unexpected, unbidden, unheralded; he
came in a private capacity, merely as a
citizen, and yet one from the ranks of
his foes of other days stepped out to
meet him with friendly hand and open
heart, while thousands were impatient
to greet him with marked expressions
of respect. What is there in such an
event to attract comment or demand
more than passing notice?
1t is this-it is an indication of the re-
turn of that old feeling among the peo-
pie of the United States to honor men
anywhere who have been hOnOred by
their own ,,eople; and to recognize in
the crowned son of any State or section
one worthy of honor and entitled to re-
spect. And it betokens more still-it
denies the oft told tale of bloody design
and sectional hate, which we read so
often in the partisan press and hear so
much from the partisan rOstrum.
We may be too ardent, but we can
but remark that the event of yesterday
great influence ON the minds of the
Kentuckians who were witnesses.
Are we not too much moved by pas
sion, and not mindful of the logic of
events, and the dictates Ofreason? Why
should there be more of hate, and less
Of unison between people, North and
South? Are not all our hopes, our aims,
our interests the same? Is not the
future of the children of North and
South linked together in the sentiments
of the present generation?
Form political opinions, and accept
the proper political principles, and stick
to them; but let no principle have geo.
graphical bounds, nor opinion have but
prejudice for foundation. Build your
hopes on the honor of the nation; un-
sheath your sword to preserve it. Look
for glory from the union of sections;
offer your blood to maintain it. If the
past is full of bitter remembrances,
ought not the future be filed with fruits
of the better sowing?
The fathers of the nation, were they
true or false in their devotion to this
great country? Ifthey were true, 'twere

again, it's wise to walk therein. If they
were false, then tits well to break all

argument then against sectional hate

NORTHERN CRIME.
Young Lady Set Upon by n Crowd Of
Ru fiians and Outraged To DEATH

An almost incredible story of moral
turpitude has been disclosed in connec-
ton with the DimmOck camp-meeting
i'm Susquehannah county, which closed
its session during the past week, a
knowledge of which first came TO light
last Tuesday evening at the death-bed
of a Miss Waterman. The deceased was
aged about nineteen, the daughter of a
reputable family, very beautiful and
well educated, and much respected in
the better circles of society.
The story of the awful crime which
resulted in her death is briefly told as
follows: Miss Waterman, in company
with sister, went to camp-meeting ON
Saturday, both intending to remain
over Sunday with friends on the ground.
On Saturday evening the sister of the
deceased accepted an invitation from a
young man of the neighbOrhOOd to take
a short carriage drive. They drove to-
ward the abode of the Watermans, the
young lady placing confidence in the
assurance of her escort that her sister
had expressed her intention of return
ing that evening with friend. Upon
arriving at her home she alighted and
remained there. The sequel affords
strong circumstantial evidence that it
was a deliberately eoneocted plan to
separate the sisters. Be this as it may
nothing was seen of MissWaterman who
stayed ON the ground until late Sunday
night, when a carriage halted in front
of her parents residence, and her pros
trate form was carried by two disguised
persons from the vehicle into the house,
the front door yielding easily to the ma
nipulatiOns of one of the unknown men.
The unconscious girl was laid upon the
floor, and the men hastily departed be-
fore the inmates of the house could in
tercept them. When the parents came
to where their daughter lay they found
her raving maniac, and from her oc-
casional remarks and the appearance of
her clothing and hair they suspected
what was, but too well verified since by
medical examination, that her eOndi-
ton was owing to oft-repeated outrages
inflicted upon her. She fingered until
Tuesday evening, when she expired.
AT no time was she wholly eoncious OF
