harvested and considerable of 1t stacked.
OF the yield, It is thought that the average
will be fully fifteen bushels to the acre,
many are of the opinion that
twenty bushels 10 fair estimate. From
what we have seen of the wheat fields
through various parts of the county, we
should Judge that the former figures are
about correct. In many places, where the
land ia low. we notice that the grain did
not sprout, and as there are more or less
low spots in every field. this will reduce
the average considerably.
MoRRIs.-Farmers will do we'll to mar.
ket their grain at this point during the
coming season, as not only will they find
good market for their produc, but they
will find that our merchants have made
every preparation for supplying their
wants. Keen competition, such as we have
here, ensures the highest prices for pro-
duce, and the lowest prices for merchan-
disc. To do successful business nova
days, merchants must run on small profits
and quick sales. he must be satisfied to pay
very nearly full market value for all he
buys from his customers, and sell his goods
at the lowest figures. We have honorable
competition, without dishonest rivalry, and
all will find it profitable to trade here.
AMUsEMENT.-As the evenings lengthen
or grow shorter, and as the weather grows
cooler, the question of amusements is in
order. Dances. private theatricals, festi-
walls, sociables, &C., are all very we'll, but
we think if the subject was given proper
consideration, higher grade of entertain
ments could be provided. The people we
think would cordially support and lend
substantial aid in encouraging any efforts
in this direction, and we have no doubt
but that if the proper parties undertake the
Inauguration of q series of lectures. read
ings, musical and other entertainments OF
this class, they would be successful. We
require more instructive and interesting
recreation, and less of the amusement or
der of pastime.
ASOS
sore and patient voters of this school dis
trict are requested to step up to the Cap
tain's office and report. Notices are posted
calling meeting of the qualified voters of
District No. /, to meet at the school house,
on Aug 9th, at 1880 p. M, to vote on the
question of organizing said district as an
Independent School District, as provided
in Cap. SO, Sec "a and IS, General Statutes.
The change as proposed IS radical and
sweeping in its nature, and from our very
limited knowledge of the school laws, we
are unable to advise, whether it is not full
as we'll to remain as we are, however, we
trust that sufficient interest will be mani
tested to insure good attendance, so that
the proposition may be fully discussed,
thoroughly understood and acted upon in,
diligently and decisively.
THAT CELEBRAToN.-A notice else.
where published gives some idea of the
Grand Harvest Festival, Picnic and Ball,
to be held in this village Monday next.
The preparations for the event are of Law
ish and elaborate order, such as 10 assure
one of the most successful celebrations
ever held in this village, indeed nothing Of
the kind has ever been attempted before
and we doubt if any but an Ed. Walter
has the enterprise, pluck and push to in
augurate and successfully carry out such
an Undertaking. That it is to be a grand
success is evident from the large number
of tickets already sold, it is expected that
between three and four hundred couple viii
be in attendance, many coming from the
adjacent towns. We connot give in thi:
issue any more particulars than are con
tanned in the notice, but we can assure til,
public that the every promise made by thu
proprietor will be fulfilled to the letter.
! CoNNEMARA.-Therei is considerable louC
and rather strong language used in this vi
entity, in regard to the lack of provision
made for the support of the Connemar,
emigrants. These people are in desti
tute condition, no food and no work, anl
no prospects of either. A long and severe
winter is before them. aud they are bu

Der are coming to this place, but there il
very little they can find to do in town O
this size. Surely, there must have beer
some fund for the support of these people
until crop is harvested another season
1t does not seem possible that large mum

what We can learn from these people, thei

COUNTY FAIR we have now garner
ed an abundant harvest, and as we are en-
joying a season of prosperity, the coming
annual county fair should be an unprece
dented and unqualified success. Hereto
fore we have not been SO situated as t
make these fairs what they should be, an
neither have they been what could be ez
pected. There Is disposition on the par
of the residents of this county to negleC
taking an individual interest in having
large display Of stock, grain. produce sc
Every body comes to the fair but the dis
play is meagre, and the only real interes

either themselves, the county or the soc
ETY., the agricultural portion of the com
munity are the most interested and it
for them to make the exhibition all that
should be. We cannot expect to have
fair that will rival older counties, but w
can have one that will compare favorabl
with any Of the newly settled portions o
the state. The display can and should b
made at least creditable.
