shipping point ON the p. and f. r.. r.
There are $4,000 or $1,000 slaves at this
point now, after having shipped thirty
or forty car loads.
Crops are generally good through this
section of the country. Corn Is fine,
though damaged considerably by the
rain and wind. There Is an abundance
of wheat sown i'm this section, and Is
generally looking well. There are some
good tobacco crops in this vicinity,
though comparatively small.
The school at Mt Pleasant, is i'm a
fiourishing condition, under the super

ISLAND STATION, Oct "A, 1879.
Editor Herald:
Our town Is assuming a more business
air of late-Messrs. Taylor, Coffman,
and Humphrey, are alihaving consider
able trade.
Our farmers have sown more wheat
than usual, but the continuation of the
warm weather has caused much uneas-
iness in regard to the fly.
Our railroad promises to be success
Ii is said that it is now paying expenses,
Notwithstanding the repairs that have
been made. Coles show passed over
this road yesterday morning enroute for
OwensbOro. The Company occupied
two special trains.
On the Is, instant, Miss Ollie Brown,
of this place, was married to Mr.. r. NJ.
Humphrey-Dr w. p. Bennett officiat-
ing. Many friends were present to wit
ness the happy union. Mr.. Humphrey
will soon move to his new residence
having just completed the handsOmest
building in town.
Mr.. Ollie Everly, teacher i'm the East
Station district, is having a good school,
and the school a very efficient teacher.
w. B. Rowe, teacher in the West
Station district, is having 55 scholars in
attendance-rather more school than
teacher.

There h n funny story going around
about n New York man who applied,
through a friend, for an important Of
nee, and, representing that he was "a
cousin to the President, was assured
that he could be accommodated. A day
or two after this he advertised I'm New
York paper that two government Of
fees were for sale; his game was
promptly detected, and when the Pres
ident heard of it he Immediately re-
membered that he was opposed to APP
pointing his relatives to Office anyway.
When 1t comes to the distribution of Of
fees, this administration is not to be
trified with.
The First Annual Exhibition of the
National Fair Association commences
next Tuesday, and continues until No
vember 0. 1t promises to be, next to
the Centennial, the biggest thing of
the kind this part of the country has
ever undertaken. None Of the c0nten-
tion and warning of cliques, so charac-
teristic of Washington, has occurred
in connection with this enterprise-per-
haps because there is no job or chance
ut the national Treasury in it-but as
tonishing energy and public spirit has
been manifested, and enormous sums
of money expended to make the un-
dertaking permanent success, worthy
of the National Capital. The attrac-
tions provided are really very great, in
cluding running and trotting races, ath-
letic games and contests, and an indus
trial exhibition seldom equaled.

The belief i'm witchcraft not only
continues to exist, but were 1t not for
the Law, would sometimes lead to the
violent death Of unoffending old ladies,
was illustrated few days ago. Sever
al girls were brought before a Scranton,
Pa, justice, on the charge Of attacking
with stones a peaceable old lady who
lives i'm the suburbs of that city, evident
ly believing that the aged woman was
a witch, and regarding it as their duty
to stone her to death, Mrs. Shloss, the
mother of one of the girls, Indignantly
charged the woman, Mrs. Wagher, with
being a witch, saying that she could
prove 1t. The Scranton Republican
says she seemed intensely in earnest,
and fairly trembled with excitement
while hurting this accusation at the
head of the plaintiff. The Alderman
heard the strange case patiently, and
said he had no doubt of the sincerity of
Mrs. ShlOss. II is probably owing to
her distorted belief that the children
were led to persecute Mrs. Wagner, who
however, was promised protection
