of the country has nov y decidedly autumnal
character. The leaves on many Of the fruit AMI
furc,i i;cc. have changed To- the scrr AMI yellow
hue which indicate, that they must ,oon fall to
the ground and return again To- the soil the clc
mcnts they have drawn from it. Thchcayy night
dews. the hazy atmosphere and the chilly c,enin:
air are all significant Of the fact that the reign Of
autumn has commenced in earnest and that the
year Is rapidly Fastening On TO the nc' liable
doom of all created things.
Our farmers are now busy cutting W their corn.
thi. mode Of saving the crop appearing 20 be
growing in favor year by year. In only abou;
one field in four in this section is the old system
o( topping and blading siiil adhered To.
The falling ot in the receipt Of peaches at Bal
timorc during the past week has somewhat i'm
proved the prices of other fall fruit with the
ccpiion Of grape. which are still low n scarce
~ TO pay for the labor 81 gathering. Those who
have surplus of this fruit should try their hands
u; making wine. The process does not differ ma
teraiy from that required for making fret. elias

The absorbing topic OF interest La, week wa
our agricultural fair and there was pretty gen
cral turn gu; 81 tie population Of thi. section TO
attend il. Although the display was not a ex-
tensive nor the attendance n large n has been
witnessed clscWhcr still the enterprise was suf
ciently successfu 10 encourage the hope Of It'll
better thing in the fg;ufc. All who visited the
grounds appeared graiidci and | heard lees
grumbing and complaint among exhibitors than

A. the Govanstown J.. q. difficulty has got into
the columns of the tSIoS and the editors have
expressed themselves in regard to IL. ] hope IL
will not be thought impairment for one having no
the subject. OF the late Cornelius Kelly. the for
mer =. NJ. it may no, only be said tina, he was
true 10 the Cni"n in the hour Of danger but that
he was also true and faithful in the discharge Of
every duty evolving on him n man and cit
izen. The people Of Goyanstown owe him debt
Of gratitude for his many years Oi unpaid services
~ =. ". which 10 very i'll repaid by the removal
of his daughter from the Office. Mr.. Kelly was Of
un,elish disposition that he scorncl to further
his own Interests at the expense Of Others AMI IL
those who sought the removal Of the postofice had
been Of the same spirit they would have rather
suffered some inconvenience than infiict an in
jury upon 1.-THE fA,herlcss and the widow
The new appointee may be = gentleman 20
whom no reasonable man can have ''the slightest
personal objection. but the change was gross
piece Of injustice" and was accomplished Through
misrepresentation" his connection with IL will
feet no credit on him. II the managers Of No;re
Dame Academy used their influence 20 sii in the
removal Of the postofice TO its present location
their conduct showed a sad want Of that christian
charity without which all religious profession is
but "as sounding brass or tinkling cymbol."
II the removal Of Miss Kelly had been deemed n
necessity, any one Of tender feelings would have
fcl, panied TO ask for II under the circumstance
IL IL was not necessity then those who effected il
were guilty of n hcartlcss and unfceiing act that
they should blush at the remembrance Of. :.
We have the best authority for saying that the
Sisters Of Notrc Dame had nothing TO do with the
removal Of the ofiee.-Eps. Union.
