"A well written article, pride or Patri-
otism, Duty Or Desertion," over the sig
natures of the Penfeld delegates 10 the
county convention, denying the charge of
corruption or that any undue influence
was brought to bear upon them in the
nomination of Mr. Webber, resenting the
assumption of gag law, and sharply
condenning the course pursued by
"Johnson and Co." as unpatriotc and
unjustifiable, was received when we were
flooded with communications on that
subject, and just few hours too late Tor
insertion.
"A month ago wide extent of country
was so parched with drought that it
looked as if even the roots 'ot heritage
covering the soil were dead. There were
no green fields and only patches of wild
grass and weeds showed healthy color
where the stagnant water had been last
to dry out in swampy places and in the
depressions beside railroad tracks. Time
ly rains have changed all this, and thick,
luxuriant carpet Of the delicate tint. Of
spring has taken the place of the brown
waste, and every one has cause to be
thankful and happy.
Sunday night Mr.. Luther Winchell's
people, a mile east of Wellington, we're
awakened by the barking and growing Of
their dogs, and hearing sounds indicating
that some one was moving about the
house, rose TO make investigations An
outside door was open which was locked
upon retiring, and some articles of cloth.
ing were not where they had been left at
night. Mr.. and Mrs. Winchell had just
returned from a journey TO New York and
500 in money in vest pocket had been
overlooked in the hurried examination
and hastened departure Of the burglar. II
was thought that the entrance was made
through the cellar and that the door was
opened from the inside. All our ex-
changes speak of numerous cases Of
thieving, highway robbery and burglary.
Mr.. Paul Ritter who left here for
Germany last year in September, writes
from Berlin, his fathers home, Sept. 10Th,
that his business travels have taken him
through Russia for several months; and
that, beginning the first of November, q
circle for reading and conversation in
English will be formed in Berlin, and he
will "brush up" in the language, he finds
himself without practice in it, rapidly
forgetting. An English lady from London
had taught class, OF which he was a
member, for two months before he went
to Russia. How is II with the members
of the "Germania Schueler Verien" Are

The brilliant sky after sunset last fall
and winter, beginning in November, and
re.appearing at intervals, is again feature
of the early night. There is mingling
of orange and rose color changing tc
amber and yellow, at the horizon, with
the most delicate blending Of these tints
with the blue and gray Of the sky above
and gradually as the darkness comes on,
there is in the west all the appearance Of
a great fire not far away, lighting the
heavens like real conhagration. The
lengthy dlsquisitions Of scientists attempt
ing to account ior the phenomenon admit
so many objections TO, and conflicting
proofs of their own theories that they give
little satisfaction. But as no apparen
harm has resulted from this wonderful
display Of nature, II ministers in higl
degree to human enjoyment. The artistic
soul revels in the magnificent variety anC
purity Of these tones OF color; the over
