We are glad to say our farmers are not as
backward with their fall work as those of
Sans Creek are.
Winter finds the greater portion of the corn
crop housed in good condition. The yield IS
generally very good. Mr.. George W. Arma-
cost has sent us some specimen ears, together
with statement of the yield of portion of
his crop. Two finely formed ears measure IA
inches each. Several measured Is inches,
and about dozen measured 124 inches in
length. He husked from six acre field So
barrels, an average of 16 barrels per acre, and
four acre field measured up 72 barrels, CIV
ing an average of Is barrels per acre.
Several chickering's have taken place, but
we have heard of no unusually heavy weights,
but if the old adage, "a good corn crop fills
the meat house. is still good, we expect the
scales will often have to bear good weights
Finksburg Public School No. l, which was
closed during last term, was reopened the first

The Sunday school of White Hope Chapel
NJ. E. S. Church, gave an entertainment on
last Sunday night. The house was filled,
though the night was quite cold. The exer-
cises consisted of responsive readings, scrip
tural and literary recitations, and singing, led
by Miss Bette Horner. Contributions for
missionary work were received from the au-
dience and pupils of the school. Miss Susie
Hollingsworth, little girl of nine years, gave
the largest amount, $3.50, and received a
handsome picture as reward for her hberality.
The transit of Venus, on the 9th, was observ-
ed with much interest by some of our citizens.
The sun was frequently hid by clouds, during
the interval of the trasit. The most favorable
time for making observations at this place was
between II and 2 p. m. The event set some
of the more inquiring of our young people to
hunting up astronomical works and investiga-
ting the particulars of the phenomena.

by the Rev. Thomas NJ. Brown, at the resi-
dence of VIM. 81. Hughes. the brides father,
near Hoods Mills, in this district. A few
friends outside of the immediate family were
present and witnessed the ceremony. The
happy pair, after receiving the congratulations
of the family and friends, led the way to the
dining room where an elegant dinner was
spread. We occupied the head of the table
with that dignity that becomes us on these
happy occasions. The dinner was an elegant
affair and every one appeared happy. The
groom took his bride to their new home on his
farm near by.

Daniel S. Diehl disappeared not long since

alarmed at his absence, and he returned,
bringing with him thirty two steers, which
were as fine looking stock cattle as we have
seen for some time. Daniel is one of the
most extensive feeders of cattle we have in
this section. He has finished husking his
corn and found that he had raised 610 barrels
from A acres, or about IA barrels per acre,
equal to 6, 100 bushels of ears of corn. With

said: 3We citizens of the United States

day king sitting upon a throne in Eu-
rope. Had we of this republic been true
to democratic principles, had we been true
to ourselves, there would not now in my

ILL.,, who was subpenaed but did not
testify in the Guiteau murder trial, and
who has been for twenty-six years in
hospitals for the insane in New Hampshire
and Illinois, said that eighteen years ago
Luther w. Guiteau brought him an insane
sister for treatment From Guiteau's talk,
which was very peculiar, he set him down
as a crazy man. The impression was very
strong on the witness and he readily saw
how Luther's son could get into the state
of mind necessary to kill President Gar
field. He met Mrs. Scoville in Washing
ton last winter. She had fierce contro
versy with Jno. w. Guiteau about wit
ness testimony. Jno. declared that nobody
should testify that his father was insane.
Mrs. Scoville said he should testify. and
said that all the family were predisposed
TO insanity. He believed that Mrs. SEQ
ville's fainting and epilepsy were sure to
produce insanity. Her being chaste and
loving wife until recently, and her sudden
change was evidence to him. He held, in
short, that the whole family, including
Jno. w, were of unsound mind and in
sane.

fierce but short. Before they could be

count for nothing. On Tuesday night

but he didn't get the note till night and
didn't go. Wednesday morning the de-
termined couple took the G. & o. accom-
mediation coming East to find a minister.

board and married them on the train. The
groom promptly handed over a handsome
fee.
