usually warm for October on Saturday and
Sunday, 10Th and 17tlP inst. On the night
following the last named date we were visit
ed by very hard rain; next day-1Sth inst.
1t rained at a considerably diminished rate
until p. NJ; then it turned cold and re-
manned thus for several days; after which
the mercury in the thermometer again rose
few degrees each day after sunrise, but to
fall again at each successive nightfall, thereby
insuring an uncommonly heavy frost nearly
every morning until the oath inst. At that
time the atmospheric changes essential to
another rainfall became more and more no.
ticeable until early on the morning of the
2Sth when it began to rain very lightly; later
in the day it rained harder, nor did it cease
until next morning. Then we had a cold,
disagreeable day after which it cleared off,
and to day "old Sol" once more reigns as
liking of Day."

Mr.. William I'll. Yount-dlds 'The Pal
mer Lead Company's Dutchman" mentioned
in one of my former letters to the "REGIS-
TER" although he does take semi occasion
al styling trips" In this direction-was out
here last Sunday. 1t is believed that We has
for some time past been strenuously endeav
oring to make such arrangements as would
establish degree of relationship between
himself and certain miss of this neighbol-
equally enjoyable to both. She, "woman-
like" of course, cannot come to terms at
once, but he, with all the pertinacity char
acteristic of "sure- enough Dutchman"
proposes to eight it out on this line" if it

hereby return thanks to "Tobias" for
the publication of his recipe for the cure OF
"bloody murrain." 1 trust l shall haye no
occasion to use it, but as the cattle of any
farmer are liable to become affected by the
disease mentioned, the dissemination OF the
recipe may do some one good.
The public school in this district closed to-
day; consequently the children had as ''jolly"
a time as is usual on such occasions.
Numerous complaints are made in this
section regarding the "hard times"
Last autumn many Democrats made the
foolish assertions that the ''hard times" then
prevalent in the United States would be
brought to close whenever Grover CieVe-
land was united to the Presidency; that
"fiush times" would then ensue; that the
stringency Of financial matters would be re-
moved-in short that the Inauguration OF a
democratic President meant the Inaugural
ton of a "Golden Era" Such talk was in
dulged in not only by few hot-headed poll
ticians, but also by many who are consider
ed as belonging to the better, more stable
and quiet class of our Democratic citizens
Since the beginning of what might-not IN
aptly-be termed "the new dispensation,'
the Republicans have naturally been lnclln-
ed to taunt their Democratic neighbors about
the failure of the "Golden Era" to put II
