IT has been our good fortune to see
some very handsome designs in monu-
mental work, but since the erection of
the John Miner monument in the Nor
ristown cemetery, we begin to think
designs in this line have no limit. This
beautiful piece of workmanship stands
seventeen feet high, and is cut from
grey granite and artistically lettered
The structure is from the marble and
granite shop of Evans & Close, this
place. We know of no finer monument
in the county. This firm, we learn, will
shortly erect similar monument to the
memory of Wm. Greenlee in High Ridge
cemetery. These gentlemen are taking
the lead in this class of work, in this
section, and well deserve the liberal
patronage they are receiving. An in
speetion of their work will convince
you Of this fact.

COPIOUs rains have fallen in this vi
cinity ut intervals for week past, and
as result the ground is thoroughly
soaked, and vegetation has received a
wonderful impetus. Hillsides have been
washed somewhat, but this is more than
compensated by the general soaking the
ground has received. Crops promise to
be abundant. The wheat is not stand
ing so thickly on the ground as it did
last year, but it looks well. and promises
large yield. The potato crop will be
an immense one, corn looks very well,
and the yield of hay will be almost phe-
nomenal. Sons of the fruits are falling,
and it is apparent the yield will not be
so large as was predicted few weeks
ago. Strawberries, however, are an ex-
ception to this statement. The rains of
the past week have assisted them won
derfully, and the ripening crop will be a
very large and fine one. Altogether,
the yield of the soil will be a plenteous
one, and the country is to have a season
Of abundance.
