WHEN General Garfield was NOM
mated Colonel FOrney said:
1t has been my good fortune to know
General Garfield for many years, and
it is a pleasure to add that he is q fine
specimen of American character. His
rise to eminence is the result Of hard
manual labor in early youth, and sub
sequent intense study and application.
A little after the style of President
Hayes, General Garfield is rather es-
thetic, refined in his ideas and pro-
fOundly radical in his politics,
One comment may here be freely
made upon General Garfield. He will
be owned or controlled by no man or
men. He is himself master, and II

ter il is his knowledge of the men of

the circumstances, We leave it to the
good judgment of our readers to de-

THAT the Democratic party Is fully
sensible Of the rapid decline Of the
Hancock boom is shown by the ad-
missions of its most confident organ
the New York San-that, In certain
contingencies, the superb candidate
may be beaten. A few days since that
always boastfal organ said:
II both Indiana and Ohio should
vote for the Republican candidates in
October, it would be almost impOssi-
BILE to get them to vote for Hancock
and English in November. But. more
than this, the influence of such q re-
suit upon the voters of Connecticut,
New Jersey and New York would be
damaging to the Democratic party.
The placing of Indiana side by side
with Ohis is substantially removing
it from among the doubtful States and
placing it i'm the Republican column,
and such a concession on the part of
the Sun will be appreciated by those
who have noticed its vain-glOriOus
predictions during the past few weeks.
But it goes further, even, than the
above, and in the course Of an editOri-
al rebuking the Washington Post for
claiming that, If the election were to
to take place Immediately, Hancock
would carry almost every State in the

Central Pennsylvania has had an
abundance Of rain since May. The
fields are covered with grass that seems
a. young and tender as though it were
May. The harvest is generally good,
yet in some districts the wheat was
seriously damaged by the drouth Of
May-Nittany and PENIS valleys
were especially harmed. The sample
of wheat shown me there is about
equal to that grade Of wheat at Salina
known as CONDEMNED" The yield
fell off more than half in those valleys.
In Buffalo Run valley saw samples
of wheat that would grade No. in
Salina. The corn crop Of the State
promises to he q good average yield.
The 'hoppers and the drouth des-
trayed all the Seeding grasses Of this
county, and placed the farmers in an
anxious condition for next year. Some
have seeded their wheat stubbles, but
have failed to get q stand Of grass.
Fruit is abundant on the higher
lands. The spring frosts nipped all
the fruit on the low grounds Of this
whole county, but as this country has
f,os hills to one hOilOW, the fruit is
abundant.
Francis Murphy is here in BellefOnte
