Owens Creek Letter.

For the CLARION.
The people of Logs Station were taken
by a surprise, Thursday evening, upon the
return of Mr.. G. W. 10y, the popular mer-
chant of this place, from Frederick All
supposed that he, (Mr. Loy) had gone to
Frederick to attend the County Fair, as
many had gone from this place, but upon his
return in the evening they learned that his
trip to Frederick involved more Importance
than alone attending the Fair, for he brought
home a partner-a wife. This was indeed
40 slyly and adroitly connected and manip-
ulated that but one or two knew of it before
his return in the evening. Ahem we thot
Mr.. 10y did not have that "mustache' dyed
so thoroughly for nothing ha The happy
bride was Miss Martha Ecker, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs Hanson Ecker. near this place.
1t was one Of the least suspected weddings
we have had here for some time. But it re-
quires the experienced to accomplish such
sly and wcll-planncd schemes. They were
married in Frederick about II O'Clock, Thurs
day morning, 10th instant.
Mr.. James Miskll is lying very low with
typhoid fever, not expected to live.
Miss Minnie NJ. Martin will leave for
IIagerstown next week where she will at
tend the H. F. Seminary until graduating.
Mr.. David Fisher has just purchased q
handsome new carriage. Mr.. Fisher one of
our most enthusiastic democrats, feels some
what depressed since the recent Ohio cleo
ton And why not? we on the opposite
side of political party feel very much elated,
and encouraged, especially in the case of
Mr.. G. w. 10y, who that he might have an
abundance of rejoicing, took unto Himself Il
wife since the Ohio election.
Miss Ella Ditlendal is still visiting in Mont
gomcry county.
VIM NJ. Murtin teacher Of Rocky Ridge
school has on roll 50 pupils, and has aver
aged until now A. The school will likely
number upward of 20 pupils this winter.
Mr.. A. T. Norris OF Rocky Ridge is adding
very much to the appearance of his residence
BY new coat of paint. Mr.. VIM. Andtrs is
doing the work.
Mr. JAS Oylc one day last week lost n
valuable horse he refused $500 for the ami
nal sCmc time before.
Miss Edith Black has returned to attend
school in st. Masy's county.
Mr.. VIM Mort had his hand terribly man
gled by ferocious dog belonging to Mr.
Iankcy, last week, and though strange, it
may appear to some, this valuable dog, As
Mr. Tankey considered HIM, very suddenly
and quietly died on the following Monday.
Mr.. Harry Krisc of Creagerstown expects
to attend Eaton Il Buruett's Business Col
legc in Baltimore this winter; he will leave
in week or two.
The school in this place is progressing
nicely under the management Of Miss Jennie

JenarsenyilIe o.. Jottings.

A real arctic wave struck Ohio last Tues
day, doing no damage however, further thar
frostlng the early expectations of the democ
racy 1t was only the advance cloud of thu
cyclone that will sweep the State from cen
ter to circumference on the 4th of Nov. WI
are coming then, Charley, 900 strong
The most beautiful autumn ever reali1c(
is with US. Flowers are blooming, and vines
as green as in August. No freeze yet to XII
the most tender We are fcastiny Oh fin,
tomatoes, cucumbcrs and sweetpotatoes
gathered each day.
Farmers are almost undecided whether tc
pick their apples it being so warm. | vii
say | however shielded mine YESTERDAY
thinking discretion the better part of valor
Pain sufficient to hasten up the wheat, ant
give us the best fall pasture imaginable.
Corn husking Is in full blast, and the croI
better than expected month ago.
Men are employed almost exclusively pei
bushel to husk, The price paid is &c pei
bushel and board, Sac and board themselves
A tirst-c!ass hand can husk 40 to so bushels
per day One hanl huskcd for me IS bush
els on the l0th and cribbed % bushels of it
1t was an extra piece of stock corn, second
year sod, bottom land, and averaged so bus
per acre. New corn is selling at 40c per bus
of 70 lbs. Not much going into market yet
principally bought and fed to hogs.
Wheat although sown later than usual is
getting fine start. This leads me to ask
is not seasons changing pcrceptibly in this
direction, that is requiring later seeding, as
our hottest weather occurs in September
There may be something in Profi-thcory
of the polar axis being 80 many miles west
of where 1t was fifty years ago, causing this
change of season.
We felt our first love enthusing our every
nerve, when we read communication in the
Ohio Farmer, two weeks ago, from Smith
Bros, of Frederick county, Md, stating they
had raised and threshed 62 bushels of wheat
the present season from one acre, the variety
being the Finley, and that one of your coun-
ty commissioners had thrcshcd 90 bushels
from Il acre of the same variety. We are
raising it here, but have heard of no such
yields reported. A comparatively new va
riety here called the Niger wheat is we'll
liked. 1t is of the bearded family, yet strong
strawcd, which must be a qualification to
recommend any wheat here for our black
ground
The Martin Amber is also another new va
riety proving itself thus far worthy of a test
Butcher stuff of all kinds are unusually
cheap. Good grade hefcrs are bought at &c
sheep &c, lamha 81, hogs AZ; but few of the
latter are moving at those figures, unless
there is cholera scare
Has any one minated to We editor they
would have you fattcd turkey for Thanks
giving? If not come over the mountains and
you shall be fully satisfied with young
bronze and sauerkraut, too, if you like.
