Messrs. Editors We are now near the close of
the last summer month, and the weather-as it
usually is-continues very hot and sultry, though
see they have had toerabIy heavy and destructive
frost in different parts of New York. Massachusetts
and some other Northern States, doing consider
able damage to fruit and vegetation. cold
wave seems to have struct them. We of this lati
tude may soon have it also for few days, but it
will not last long, as we are likely to have it warm
through September and possibly some of October.
The public and some other schools open next
Monday, it being what the school children call
"Blue Monday" goodly number of the boys
and girls rather hate it, for they dislike plodding
over their books in such sultriness. learn, how
ever, if tomorrow be very warm day, ferecasting
continued warmth, those in management of the
public and some other schools will postpone COM
mencing their schools for another week and give
the little ones an increased holiday. Hence their
anxiety for hot day. think it wise sugges-
ton. Relieve them much as possible and all COM
mence their studies on the same day so as to have
fair chance. Several of the private schools do
not begin until the first of October and even later
The Juveniles, however, must keep out of mischief

generally begin next Monday, but they have q
cooler atmosphere and healthier climate.
1t is with deep sorrow learn that distin-
guished physician, DR.. Riggn Buckler, widely
known here and throughout Maryland, is now &C.
cupying his cottage, with his family, at Narragan-
sett Pier, Rhode Island, seriously indisposed. He
has been away most of the summer. His very
large practice and number of patients have been
carefully placed in the scientific of several of
his intimate friends in whom he reposes the high
est confidence and are of known ability. Dr..
Buckler has-for the time being-closed entirely
his large house and Office, of Charles and
Centre streets. There are very many who anx-
iously hope for his return in improved health to

regret to learn that Mr. John Pennington, ma
tive of Philadelphia but for some years a resident
of Baltimore, and of well-known family, with
many relatives in Baltimore, died on the 22d inst,
at Blue Ridge Summit Pa, short distance from
Maryland, in his 25th year, of consumption, after
brief illness. He was, only few months ago,
in the very bloom and vigor of youth and health,
and being thus untimely cut off, has caused
many sorrows. 1t is said he was engaged to be
married to very beautiful and refined young
lady of Philadelphia. knew him well. He was
most excellent young man, out time is the great
arbiter of events and claimed him as its own as it
does all of US.
1t has recently been so dry and warm that many
trees are changing the color of their foliage and
it begins to look rather falllike Before long the
ground will be covered with dead leaves and peo-

malaria and sickness

which could not agree recently, to try it over
again, by second call of the convention a month
more hence 1t is said Mr.. Talbot will still
hold on. He has had much experience and if
the Democrats must be successful Baltimore coun-
ty may well have Mr.. Talbot as any one else.
Senator German has been ventilatng some of his
political views to a reporter of the Baltimore Sun
about who will be successful as the text President.
II does not amount to much one wav r the other.
The truth is the Sun seems to be deserving its for

1 am informed that the Baltimore county Agri-
cultural Fair, at Timonium, this year, win be
among the largest, most attractive, finest and pos
sibly most profitable the county has yet had. Let
us most earnestly hope so, and believe it will.
Politics are yet quiet and rather dull. A few
weeks more and we may look for life all round
I saw Maj Hancock, from Belair, Hartford coun-
ty, in Baltimore YESTERDAY, and found him most
hopeful-absoutey certain-that the next Presi-
dent of the United States would be Hon. James
G. Blaine. 1t was my decided pleasure to fully
agree with him. Each day makes the Republican
prospects brighter.
I am pleased to see that improvements in new
dwelling houses are going up every day in many
parts of the city and Belt.
I notice that Mr.. Dougherty, who is charged
with defrauding the Postoffice Department. in Bal
timore out of some 5000, is still in Jail awaiting
trial.
Mosquitoes have become quite numerous in Bal
timore during the past few days. Some places in
the city they are absolutely uncomfortable. People
can scarcely exist without nets or bars.
Among those who have gone for short time to
enjoy country life and healthful change of scene
is Col. Webster, Collector of the Port. He most
certainly deserves his recreation. We hope to see
him return fully renovated.

peaches especially-is coming to an end. The
supply was fair but not very large. A tolerable
package and canning. NESTOR.
