WllstOn-Its Crops ana industries.
The season here is little late, but the rains
have brought forward the growing crops
wonderfully in the past few days. Grass is
looking excellent and bids fair for large
crop. The farmers have nearly or quite all
their small grain sown, and those pieces that
are already out or the ground are looking
well. There is considerable corn yet to be
put in the ground having been too we: for
planting recently. Many are planting double
the acreage of potatoes they usually have,
and with good season, there will uudoubt-
eddy be a large crop. Brooks seedlings
early rose, pride OF America are some of the
lavoritc kinds. The orchards are In full
bloom and, if not injured by frosts, a large
quantity OF fruit may be expected.
We have three cheese factories and all
seem to be well patronized. Among our
manufacturers may be mentioped X. b.
Brown IL Son AT North Wiliston, who seem
TO have all they can do. They employ 12
hands, and tnrn out 50, 900 tubs and covered
pals yearly. Brown Bros. employ four hands
and are manufacturing wooden measures,
cheese and berry boxes. B. +. Brown is
making the Warner and Tracy horse rake. L.
3. Frary employs four hands and turns out
large quantities of organ stops, and other
small turned work. Business seems lively
in and around the mills at North Wiliston.

Washington Square," Mr. James. appall
ing contribution to the internal history of
American domestic life; but if Mr.. How
ellis will accept suggestion from an Eng
lish critic, let him take little more pains
with his gentlemen. We allow in his favor
the proverbial difficulty of forming hero
who shall not be more or less
lay figure; but we hope the i'm
pertinent fneness, which is very different
from refinement, Of hic Stainfords and Fer
rstets, is not the best America can do. We
take an interest in BARLEY Hubbard, not
withstanding his sins aud WEAKNESSES and
dishonesties. We are sorry for him, and al
most think him not irreclaimable. But Ben
Halleck is utterly irreclaimab.e: desire to
kick him is the warm impulse in our mind
at his every appearance Why should so
limp and homeless being stand as the rep
resentative of the best kind of American?
Give us, then, the worst, we cry with effu-
sion-the miner in all his savagery, the wild
logger in the woods, even the smart editor.
We have enough of the nerveless moral
dilettante in our own obsolete society. To
see him cropping up in America as the rep
resentative of all that is best and purest is
the last and most painful disqualification of
the-fact that there is nothing new under the
