 The following is verbatim report of 8 ! conversation held between two little girls, 1 neither of them over twelve years of age, a few days ago. The daughter of a Hancock
 man. went over the way to 'scrape acquain- tance'' with the daughter of a new neighbor ! when this conversation ensued First Girl-What does your father do {? Second Girl-He works in the-department. First Girls he Hancock man? 1 Second Girl-No, he is Garfield man. l First Girl-And are you Garfield girl? l Second Girl-I guess so. First Girl (sneeringly) y)-Oh, then you are 1 little nigger-lover, are you?
 Second Girl-Are Garfield girls all nigger- [ lovers :?
 First Girl-Of course they be. I Second Girl-Then are Hancock girls all { nigger- -haters :?

 First Girl-WeIl, you can love lem all you're ] a mind to ;when Hancock's elected I'll give 1 you one.
 Second Girl-Wherell you get him |? 1 First Girl-Of my pa. l Second girl-Where'll he get him? l First Grille owned big lot of them before ! the war and if Hancock is elected he is going 1 to have them all back again. l Second Chile will have a nice time hunting them up, guess.

Robinson, If ] the traveller going west on the Pennsylvania railway will look out south and up the steep ! hillside, he will see the main part of the or chard of 15 900 peach trees, 10000 quince trees, and 5000 Siberian crab-apple trees.

Taylor, the foreman that he did lose one tree in the sec- ton where we were. And how many trees are there in this section ? Six thousand If like result can be found anywhere else on earth I should like to be informed, that I might make another pilgrimage of ,000 miles to see it, as have to see this, Ethe most heal thy, thrifty, most promising young orchard have ever seen in all my extensive journeys through the United States and Canada. Yet most of the land is unfit for any other cultlVa- tion, and a considerable portion of the ground has never been plowed because so steep and so full of stones and roots. In this respect it reminded me of some of the vineyards of Pleasant Valley, it being often difficult to get dirt enough to make good loose bed for the roots :" The orchard is owned by Fl. Bradford, a Connecticut river Yankee few years ago the track containing 40 acres came into MT. Bradford's hands, upon the false representa- tion that it contained valuable veins of iron, ore He bought it unseen: When seen 1t was found to yield no workable ore, and only & small tract of farm land with a few con- mon farm buildings.
