Another Good cItizen conc.

It becomes our sad Office to chroni.
Gle the death Of another of our old and
tried citizens. Peter Lowell died at
his residence in Kingsley township. on
Sunday afternoon, July I'd, 1882, in
the oath year Of his age. He had
been in rather poor health for several
months past but was still able to be
about and attend to his farm and such
other work as ho had to do, and was
not taken poriously i'll or thought to
bo in danger until a very short time
before his death, consequently his
demise was a sad surprise to his many
friends and noquaintances. His dis
ease was complicated, but liver
trouble was the immediate cause Of his
death.
Mr.. Lowell waa born and raised in
Rookland township, Venango county,
and came to this section some IS or 18
years ago, occupying farm near Old
town for many years. During these
years he always took an active inter
est in the affairs of the township in
which he resided and has many times
been entrusted with important town.
ship officers, which he seemed to take
pride in administering carefully and
faithfully. lie has always borne an
unsullied reputation for honesty and
fair dealing with bis fellow men so.
cially he was the pleasantest Of men
hence a splendid neigbbor. While
almost continually in public trusts
there are few men against whom less
has been said. He leaves a wife, two
married daughters and a son, besides
a large circle of smpathizing friends
to mourn his loss. His funeral took
place from his late residence, being
conducted by Rev. j. P. Hicks, and
his remains were laid to rest in the
Evangelical cemetery on Dutch Hill,
July 4th. Peace to his ashes.

Camden, Alabama, July 3, 1852
We are having our warm weather
now; my thermometer shows from So
to 1922 every day one year ago now
itshowed from 11O' to 1iAo for a5o6s
six weeks. Last year the corn crop
was almost an entire failure here.
owing to the lack Of rain, and about
half crop Of cotton owing to thedep-
relations Of the cotton worm. These
failures cause much hardship among
the blacks, whose whole living is corr.
bacon and greens. Corn is now worth
s1.25 to $3.50 per bushel we get it
from the west. | expect new corn 10
this week to be ground. We have the
prospect of an abundant crop 3his
year; farmers have already Harvested
the largest oats crop ever grown inttis
vicinity. The corn is far enough ad
vanced TO insure good yield, and the
cotton will be ditto If the cotton worm
does not destroy it.
Oats are sown here in November
and December, aud cut in May then
the stubble is plowed under and Gotten
or corn planted in the same land,
making two crops in one season. The
usual time for planting corn is in jan
uary and February, and then cotton
directly afterwards. Planters are
turning their attention more to grain
and stock raising; heretofore they
have depended on their cotton crop
almost entirely, buying their corn,
bacon, &c, but they have found that
it won't do, for two failures will just
about break up any Planter.
Yours sincerely, j. G. ].

Tho Fourth.

In spite of the wretched weather,
our citizens made a determined and
successful effort to have a first rate
celebration. The day was ushered in
with the firing of the customary ma
tional salute, followed at 10 a. NJ. by
the parade of the "Bumsquizzlers," %
or 80 strong, and which, for grOtesque
osaeeption of costume, and ludicrous
delineation OF character, eclipsed any
thing of the kind we have seen for
years, and was a decided success.
At 12 m. the regular procession of
the day, headed by 80 of our fairest
young ladies, representing our patron
Goddess and her 38 states, in finely
decorated car, marched toward the
/ place designated for having the further
proceedings, when the rain, which had
hitherto refrained, began to descend
quito heavily, and it was decided to
abandon the idea and to have the
speeches &c, in the Court House,
whittier, at p. m., on the ringing of
the bell, SO largo an audience assem-
bled that numbers we're unable to
gain admission.
Organization being effected, the
Declaration Of Independence was read
By DIR. j. w. Morrow. TIE orator of
the day, Miles w. Tate Esq, was then
introduced by T. T. Ritchey Esq,
President of the meeting, and for
almost three quarters of All hour held
the large audience in wrapped atten-
tion with one Of his most eloquent aud.
mastery addresses. One would
hardly have thought Mr.. Tate spoke
over twenty minutes so entertaining

stance, and judging from the frequent
Interruptions of applause Mr.. Tate's
audience would have listened another
half hour with pleasure.
Owing to the continuance of the
rain, il was deemed unadyisable to
have the remaining outdoor festivities,
for which ample provision had been
made by the committees in charge,
and the exhibition of fire. works was
thus necessarily postponed.
The music of the day was furnished
by the Rescue Cornet Band, Of It'd
ioute, in their usual and felioitous and
well.romem5ered style, and to whom,
and the various committees are due the
thands Of all who experienced their
earnest effort to make the day epioya-

zens of the surrounding country for
the interest they took in the matter
and the assistance rendered in making
the celebration a success as far as it
won't.
