is because some rascal drove in
to his field, loaded up new pillow and left
for unknown parts, never leaving even as
much as an address.
We witnessed on exhibition one of the
Springer seeders at j. d Goods recently,
which we think is one of the best ma
chimes in the market. Farmers should call
on Mr. Good and examine it before pur-
chasing elsewhere, AS it is one OF the best
and most ingenious contrivances for
thoroughly puIverizing and cultivating the
soil, and covering the seed, We have yet
seen.
If we are not nation of office seekers,
we are nothing, and if We are, this district
and county can show up the worst mess of
political hash ever set before long suffer
Ing, weary yet patient people. 1t only le-
mains for our sisters, cousins and aunts TO
run for office, and then if every body votes
for themselves, there will be u glorious re-
suit; no election and tie all round. Hail
mighty day that brings such blessed results.
Quite number OF our anxious citizens
subscribed fund, on Tuesday night. and
procured extracts of the returns from the
October states. The reports were, as usu-
al, decidedly mixed, but the crowd drew
lots of consolation and heaps of fun out of
them, and although the republicans had
the most of gains. to gladen their hearts,
yet the democrats found few consoling
crumbs. A happier or merrier gathering
we have seldom seen.
An anonymous communication re-
ceived this week says that our information
in regard to the wreck mentioned in last
issue Was incorrect, insofar as charging
that it Was ,ue to the carelessness or neg.
lect of the tracklayers. The writer who
signs himself, an eye witness and employee
of the ST. p, NJ. & NJ, desires us to say
that the tracklayers' fiagman Was out for a
sufficient distance, according TO rules and
il structions of the company.
RUNAWAY. Our regular weekly run
away occurred last Tuesday evening and
was, rs usual, gratifying success The
outfit was the property of Mr. H. F. Peters
and consisted of Il span of fiery and un
tanned .teeds attached TO new and stylish
buggy. The team was being driven to the
river, when it became frightened and start
cd at furiously reckless pace, throwing
the occupants to the ground and making
hash of the buggy The last seen of Peter:
he was gathering up the splinters in dus
pan.
GRAIN.-Wheat is beginning to NOV,
more freely, but the threshing among
small farmers this season is month be
hind former years. The grades DO no
hold up to expectations, the berry is plump
but there is large amount of foul seeds
such as cookie, wild buck wheat and pig
con grass seed. The yield is fair averagin!
from ten to eighteen and twenty bushel
per ace. Oats are Il poor crop, light il
weight and yield. in many instances no
