Editors IaioH during the past week We have
experienced some very cold weather. Tho ther-
momcier was down 60 l3o on Friday morning, and
yesterday morning Sunday was down 60 100
above zero. This we consider cold weather for the
season Of the year. The farmers are very back
ward with corn husking. aud many Of them
caught with this cold map with their turnips still
In the ground.
The corn crop of Hartford never was better than
IL IL this year. Some Of our hsary farmers claim
n yield Of 90 barrels per acre, aud few even more
than this. Among the latter may be mentioned
Mr.. William Woolscy, who is aeknowlcdgcd by all
60 be the champion rorH raiser, not only Of lar-
ford. but also Of the entire State. Mr.. Wooisey
owns one Of the best farms In the county. II is
not only one of the best far as its productive
ness goes. but Il Il also Of the best arranged
and equipped farms in the matter Of all the modern
improved farm bliidings and other frst.class ap-
purtcnanccs that l. % he found In the State

with ex-senator Stump Of this county. aud gave
him a high compliment ~ one Of the most perfect

errors have occurred in the counting Of votes in
the recent clcction. Now II this thing had hap.

fcrent precincts. begin tn think fh'rc
thing ro,'sH - B,am",t." This certainly must
call forth another rsi',rt y,iWt in the next Dean
ocrniic platform. l. IL not n singular thing that
the Democrats bosses furnish all the material out
OF which every reform plank in their platforms l.
made Look at Il. In 1857 that party cainc
into the control Of the State government. Twelve
