Our correspondent at Lititz writes
Lititz our local summer resort, again
looks fresh and beautiful in her summer
garment and it would be we'll for those

ing fresh hold on the affections of our
pleasure seekers, and why should it not:
We cannot offer you mountain air AMI

ing water, pleasant walks and delightful
drives. No mineral qualities are claimed
to adulterate our water, but it is as
clear and wholesome as that found any
where. We have no Stockton nor Grand
Union but We have 4 hostelry Of which
we need not be ashamed.
Many of the most prominent citizens of
this county, together with those of our
sister cities and towns, have sent their
families to this delightful place for a sum-
mer's vacation. The grounds attached to
the spring are filled nightly with prone
| naders, while the more reserved play cro-
quet upon the large lawns in front Of the
Springs hotel, enjoy its cool piazzas, or trip
the light fantastic toe to merry music.

Wsrwick's Tobacco Crop.
The tobacco around here looks very tin"
The majority of it will be very early. The
late rains have caused it to make rapid pro-
gress and in many fields the growers were
compelled to begin topping. Mr.. john
Yeager has two acres out which he fonmh
necessary to commence topping the begin
ming of this week. Many leaves in his
field can be found that will measure 20 /,
"a inches long. The growers here are
beginning to complain Of the tobacco
worm, but seem determined to meet
him at short swords, and can be
seen walking up and down, down
and up, back now looking for him, and it
pcrchance one is to be seen, it were bett'

born. They find but few ants on the
plants, the stalks being to large for them t"
