All are busy now, here, haying and
harvesting. Hay, owing to the late
frosts and the dryness of the earlier
part of the summer, is not very
heavy crop; the crop will be below
the ayerrge when cut and stored
away. Corn is looking frstrate con-
sidering the lateness Of the spring.
Oats bidfair to be good crop. Wheat
was not materially injured by the
late frosts, and the yield per acre will
be equal TO the general average. Po-
tatoes, if one is to judge from the ap-
pearaaco above ground, will be good.

the only remedy.

Weather is oppressively warm.
"To the harvestfeld" is the order of
the day, and the farmers appear very
well pleased with the hay, wheat and
rye crops; also with the spring grains.
Present appearance indicate an abun-
dance Of fruit Of the various kinds pc.
culiar to this climate.
This section has been somewhat de-
populated Of late, owing to the camp
meeting in your town.
The new road up Beaver Creek is
being stumped and put in shape for
grading. We intend to have one Of
the best roads in the county when
finished
Our schools are in operation and
We believe, are doing good work. But
in looking over the various reports we
find patrons do not respond as heartily
to their duty-calls-and thereby lend
their aid and sympathy to teacher and
school,-as they might. We also
notice that the blond directors genial
face and manly form seldom darken
the doorway Of our school houses.
Why is it?
The following are the sentiments of
numerous greenbackers in the Banner
Hickory. This hurrah and huzza for
our 90, is cheap, but it takes money
to buy flags We thought when "ye
editor" Of the National made promise
of a SO flag, that it was bona fde, but
wo are constrained to believe it was
merely an advertising dodge.
We notice several greenbackers
have returned to ranks, and more
coming; 1880 they say not far distant.

General Grant arrived in Philadelphia,
Tuesday morning, and had reception from
the citizens which was a magnificent cllrn-
AK 70 the ovations he has received in his
progress across the American continent.
When the General arrived at the railway
depot he was met and formally welcomed
by Mayor Stokley, and replied in few
words. He was then taken in carriage to
his place in the procession, which formed on
Broad street, and moved over the route as
published. The procession, which occupied
more than four hours in passing a given
point, comprised United States troops and
marines, militia Of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Delaware; Grand Army Posts of
Philadelphia and State, New Jersey, Mary.
land, Delaware and the District of Colum-
bia; Civic Associations, Political Clubs,
Trade Organizations, Employees Of Public
Offices, Letter Carriers, and Firemen Of
Philadelphia and other cities. The decora-
tions af the buildings along the route, espe-
cially on Broad, Market and Chestnut streets,
surpassed even those Of the Centennial year.
Triumphial arches in front of Independence
Hall and at several other points, added 10
the superb display. Immense throngs ofpeo-
pie, numbering in the aggregate several
hundred thousands, lined the route oi
the parade, and cheered 10 the echo as
General Grant passed. After tho General
hal returned to Broad street, by way Of
Chestnut, he reviewed the procession from
the League House as it conference.-the
along that street. During the day business
was entirely suspended, and flags were hung
from private residences in all parts of the
city. In the evening General and Mrs
Grant were entertained at o private dinner
at the residence of Mr.. George W. Childs
The party consisted of General and Mrs. U

was thought best TO keep Il back until after
the holiday recess rather than chance

which President Hayes signed. It is not
thought that any riders will he attached to

guished companies eyer gathered together in

The Greenbackers of the country, al
though comparatively few in numbers, says
the Philadelphia Ledger, hold the balance
Of power in many Western districts, which
accounts for the manner in which some Re-
publican and Democratic members from the
West dance to their piping. The Greenback-
ers have in fact, much larger representa-
tion in Congress than their numbers would
entitle them 70, if it were not for coalitions,
whereby they determined the choice OF
representatives between the two party can
didates. If Democrats aud Republicans in
the West had been true to their own princl-
Piles, instead Of attempting to buy empty adj
vsniages by sacrificing them, we should
have had fewer schemes Of imitation betol :
the present session of Congress. An exami-
nation of the returns of elections generally
shows that the member who introduces a
Greenback bill comes from doubtful dis
trict where the Greenbackers hold the cast
ing vote. Such a man though nominally a
Democrat or Republican, in reality repre-
sents only his own selfish interests.
