Since our last writing we have
had continuance of wet weather,
which has rather interfered with
farming operations the ground
being too wet for much blowing OF
seeding. Symptoms OF frost are
very sensibly felt
Corn cutting seems to be the
order Of the day. According to
present appearances the crop on
this side Of the river is consider
ably below the average.
The peach crop in this neck is
good, though to Judge from prices
not so good as in the neighbor-
hood Of your city--here they sell
at 81, per bushel, while in your
city it is a hard matter to get so
cts. To my knowledge several
lots could be sold over at that
price.
The river still continues very
low, lower, / think, than I have ev-
er seen it at this season Of the
year. The recent rains have had
scarcely any perceptible affect on
the rise, though the water is still
somewhat colored, making it
pretty good for the fishermen, who
have had rather better than their
usual proverbial luck.
The teachers and scholars Of the
various schools in Falling Water
District have cause to feel CRATE
full to the Board of Education for
their judicious liberality in presen-
ting each school in the district
with "Tunison's" excellent reversi-
BILE map of the world It is a
great aid to both teacher and pu-
pills, in the study of geography,
impressing the names and posi-
tons Of places, far more thorough
" on their minds than can be
done by mere recitals from books,
enabling the teacher to enlarge on
the subject and making the lesson
a live and interesting one, rather
than a dry formal piece of book
work, From oral map instruc
ton, even the younger scholars
may readily get a good idea Of the
world and it's various divis-
ions, which will be OF great bene-
fit to them later, with but little
trouble to themselves. While to
the older pupils the advantages are
inestimable. We can strongly re
commend it to other school Boards
as being a map that will supply a
long felt want in the schools of
Berkeley county, not that we have
al interest in the sale of it, di-
rectly or indirectly.
The disagreement respecting the
of teacher to the Ce-
dar Grove school has been friend
~ and amicably settled, and Mr..
III. s. Butt, one of the county ex-
aminers hiss succeeded to the po-
sition.
Young Robert Lafever, who
has been under the treatment
Of Dr. Lancaster nearly all sum-
mer, is now convalescent.
The clover seems to be SO we'll
filed this fall that once threshing
is not sufficient to get all the seed
out-so we conjecture from the
fact; that Mr.. Will Light has set
his machine to thresh q rick of
clover straw that went through
another machine and he contem-
plates getting 20 bushels more.
The Sunday school at this place
is still in q prosperous condition.
The attendance is good and the
scholars aeem to be SO much in
terested that the school will be
continued during the winter.

BY Ed.
Gently. touch the harpstrings gently,
flushed be sounds Of Joy, of mirth;
Bow the meek head penitently!
Sterling merit. manly worth
Hath from us this day been riven
In the very Spring of youth:
Deaths remorseless arrows driven,
AS it cares for none, forsooth.
Scholar, Poet, Comrade, Friend,
Gifted he beyond mere measure.
Twas his love the pen to lend
To cheer, to comfort to give pleasure.
Sickness dwarfed not his emotion;
Full of humor, keen satire,
Wrote he with calm devotion,
Sang he to the tuneful Tyre.
He in fancy oft depicted
Scenes around about him, near;
For he felt too sure convicted
Soon to lose those loved SO dear;
He must separate forever
All! such thoughts. how sad. how sad!
Earthly ties, 80 close to sever,
Almost drives the stricken mad.
Oh! this great, unfathomed wonder.
Could our reason grasp the theme;
All we think of, study, ponder.
Seemeth but an empty dream
Where, oh. where shall we rest find
To imaginations travel
Where gain quiet peace OF mind!
Who this question can unravel!
Trust we, hope we, in our blindness,
That our next life may endure,
That all harshness, all nnkindness
May be t,Rnished, all be pure
Then this life is not bubble,
Coming, going, like the air;
Then from sickness, care and trouble
We shall Join our loved ones there.

OLD SHOES.

How much man is like old shoes
For instance: Both soul may lose;
Both have been tanned; both are made tight
By cobblers; both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling, oft are soled,
And both in time turn all to mould.
With shoes tho last is first; with men
The first shall be the last; and when
The shoes wear out they're mended new;
When men wear out they re men-dead, too.
They both are trod upon, and both
Will tread on others, nothing loath.
Both have their ties and both incline
When polished in the world to shine;
And both peg out-and would you choose
To ba q man OF be his shoes:
