RISING Sun ITEMS.
HARVESTING

HARVESTING
now engages the attention of the farmers,
mechanics, and merchants. Hands have
been very scarce, and some farmers have
been put to great Inconvenience for want
Of proper force to handle their crops.
Wages have, i'll consequence, been higher
than usual, and still higher demanded.
But crops are very good and well saved.
DRY WEATHER
is the general remark. Wells are going
dry: streams have diminished unusually
early. The Susquehanna river and Octc-
raro creek are said by "the oldest inhab-
liant" to be lower than ever known at
this time of the year.
THE ROADS
have, as Il general thing, become quite
passable, and, excepting loose stones,
quite smooth But time and travel get
more praise for the Improvement than
the menders-or rather the ''don' mend

ELECTIONS.
This is rather warm time of year for
electioneering, but still a few elections
occur. At the last meeting of Excelsior
Lodge, No. 81, |. o. o. F.. Mr.. w. NJ.
Caslin, of Principle, was elected Noble
Grand: VIM. III. Harrison, V. g.; Job
lIaines, Financial Treasurer; |. r. Tay-
lor, Recording Secretary.
The organization Of the National Bank
of Rising Sun was completed by electing
James NJ. Evans, Luke Brown, Jesse A.
Kirk, Edwin Haines and DR.. l.. r. Kirk
Directors. James NJ. Evans was elected
President and II. II. Haines Cashier.
At the last election for borough officers
James VI. Evans. Luke Brown, w, w.
Carter, Job Haines and Dr.. l.. X. Kirk
were elected commissioners for the ensu-
ing year. So now we have nothing spe-
cial on hands until the election of Gar
field and Arthur, next Fall.
POLITICS.
You can't imagine how delighted both
parties are with the nominations-in
either case grand success. Has the
nomination of two or three generals any
thing to do with the popularity of the
army worm =?

RETURNED FROM CINCINNATI.
Our energetic and successful miller and
flour dealer Mr.. George VI. Christie has
Just returned from II week visit to Gin
cinnati. attending the millers convention
at that place. He was very much pleased
with the city and country through which
he passed. and was also much pr)tited by
the examination of the wonderful dis
play of milling machinery and the con-
Sultatior of experienced millers from all
parts of this and foreign countries, and
returns to his business with renewed en-
ergy and expectations, but thinks the
Western millers somewhat i'll advance Of
those in the East.
MISCELLANEOUS.
This week will entirely closd the har-
vest season, with the exception of oats,
in this section, and politics, which so
completely died at the opening, will i'll
all probability be renewed with a more
determined vigor.-Mr. J. l.. Crothers,
an accomplished teacher, who has so sat
isfactorily managed the public school of
this place for several years past. is eX-
pected to return and resume his duty at
the opening of the school year.-A
Garfield club is expected to be organized
soon at this place, by which the Republ-
cans will show their appreciation of and
intention to support the general, lawyer,
minister, statesman and scholar, chosen
by the most honorable and reliable of
mankind, assembled at Chicago, and, we
dare say, Il gentleman who will never be

Running on the Block System

On Thursday, the p, w. X b. Railroad
Company ran its trains on the block system
between this city and Philadelphia. New
telegraph stations were established at Bran
dywine, Edgemoor, Grubb's Landing and
Sharon Academy, which, with the other
offices, gave communication at an average
of every two miles Only one train is al
loved on block of road, and as soon as it
passes over into another block, the station
above is informed of the fact and the train
following is permitted to pursue its course.
Safety of travel is assured in this way. As
soon as the arrangements are perfected, the
Company will erect block houses and will
also introduce the same system between
this city and Baltimore. WI UuHy NerS

BlaCkSilks

Such a stock as Black Silk
affords the best test Of the
spirit of a merchant. 1t cen
stitutes too large a part Of bis
trade to be trihcd with; cd
as he conducts that, SO he
considers it wise to conduct
the rest of his business. You
have here the clue to his po-
icy. If he sells shov:,y Sill:3

them cheap because they arc
snowy, or if he scllS heavy
silks at 9 low price cad calls
them cheap because tEcy @rc

is sold, neither the merchant
nor his salesman hes c cu@-
picion Of the fac.
But the great industry Ct
silk nlalu.acturc, using ra;l-
lions upon millions CT capital
and thousands upon thou-
sands Of human lives, is ret
conducted il ignorance of its
law material or Of its pre-
duct. Few undertakings Of
man arc based on moro exact
knowledge. DO you ina
CINE, then, that there need
be any considerable uncec-
tainty about the quality of a
silk which we place before
you? There is necessarily
just this ground Of uncertain
ty, and no other: a good silk
is sometimes spoiled in the
last process Of manufacture,
and the fact can be found
out only by wearing it.
The buyers problem is
how to get the certain good
and avoid all that can be
avoided Of the uncertain bad.
And this is the answer buy
Of a merchant whose general
plan OF business is to deserve
your confidence by never be-
traying it, either through ig-
norance or Indifference ; and
whose dealings arc large
enough to give him the best
in the market at the bottom
Of the market price.
This is all that can be pro-
htably said about buying
silks il general. 1t covers
the whole ground and is the
whole science Of buying for
persons without a special,
technical, and very rare
knowledge of goods.
But very likely you want
to know what we mean by a
good silk, and what good
silk costs. By a good silk
we mean one that will not
disappoint reasonable expec-
tatlons as to appearance,
either when new or old.
A good silk may be got
here for q dollar. The best
silk can be got here for two
dollars; after that, it is a
matter of weight alone. The
best and heaviest we have in
plain black silk is six-and-a-
half dollars.
We have no dealing in
any silk that VIC have any
distrust of; and if you want
to know what we think of
any particular piece Of silk
that we sell, you can learn
by asking.

POLITICAL NEWS.

a regular cyclone Of patriotism has
struck this place since the Cincinnati
Convention: none of the common show

kind, that will give the dissatisfied col

cratic party, if still standing bids to aid
the Confederate Brigadiers to capture

are taken by the Republican party.
THE CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
The wheat harvest is about over in this
section, and, from appearances, will make
good average crop; grass although not
as good as last year, is still very fair
crop; oats look well, but it is feared by
many are ripening too soon to make u
good crop.
