HOpewell Cross Roads.

The greatest canning year in the history of
Hartford is on hand and the season approaches
with becoming majesty preparatory to the open
ing of the business. The corn and tomato
fields are receiving their lust dressing; the coun-
try is being raked and the city drained for en-
ploycs cappers, scalders, professors and peelcrs
are the watch-words of the day, and the rattle
of cans is h ard on nearly every road in the
ncighborhood Excitement in the business
prevails, with pressure of about 300 bushels
10 the acre. Should thus season prove success
there viii, be no limit TO the next but should
it be a failure, then Farewell, a long farewell
TO all its greatness"
PRoTRACTED MEETING.
A rr0ractc meeting is being held at the
Christian Church, Avondalc. 1t was expected
to continue until Wednesday evening. The
services are conducted by the Rev. II. d. Clark
who seems to attract us much attention, among
the people here, as Moody does in the Cities
With his extensive vocabulary and historic
knowledge, he deals out destruction and
death to all isms that are in opposition to the
idea that the Bible is an unauthorized revelation
f ON God.
The patrons of Level postoilice have become
dissatisfied with the name, as it is altogether
Inappropriate to the place it represents. Hope
well Cross Roads, as 1t was formerly called, is
situated directly on the ridge of land dividing
the waters of Swan creek and Deer creek, and
from this point there Is q continuous descent to
the Susquehanna river Therefore it might as
appropriately be called promontory as a level
Inasmuch as the name Level was given to II
without their consent, the patrons of the office
have therefore appointed Saturday, July Both,
at : O'Clock, P. NJ, as the time for holding
meeting ut Hopcwell Cross Roads, for the pur-
pose of selecting more appropriate name than
Level. "Shawan" was the name of an Indian
chief whose home was in the vicinity of Hope
well, and more than one hundred years ago our
ancestors gave tract of land to his memory,
by calling it Shawans Hunting Ground We
now propose to hand his name to posterity by
ealing Level postoflice "Shawan" postofiice-
All the Level heads are expected to put in an
appearance and vote for Il new name.

Our home is ever lonely,
The hours seem long and sad,
1t was Else's presence only
That made our spirits glad.
She was the sunshine of our household,
Our JOY and our pride,
But her stay was short on earth with us,
For soon she slept and died.
Her body lies still in the deep cold grave,
While peace to her soul is given.
Dear parents, rest your minds content,
She's sweet little angel in heaven
Her childish prattle we no more hear,
She was called to heaven away,
Her arms around our necks did Irvine,
Now for ever cold as clay.
She has gone across on the other shore,
Where there Is no sorrow or pain.
With outstretched arms in angel-like FORM
Waiting to meet us again.
Weep not for me. my mother dear,
Your baby's sufferngs are DER;
Father do not forget the goodbye kiss
Little Elsie gave you at the door.
Dear little brothers, must bid you adieu
And go to my heavenly home;
cannot tarry longer with you,
My Saviour is bidding me come.
Dear father and mother, do not forget,
As In my grave lie,
My greatest wish is to meet you again,
In heaven my home on high
