A young preacher, who, strange to say
 as confidence in the editor of this pa
 er, writes the following private letter:
 "I am about to begin the publication

 Pu to give me an idea with regard t

 We have taken great pains in the
 reparation of the following, and we hope
 lat it will prove to be satisfactory:
 "Last week the tired editor, after labor. >g hard in the vineyard, concluded that

The Rain.-The excessive d-outh OF the
past two weeks was brought to a close by a
refreshing rain on Sunday last. In some Sec
,ions Of the county the cooling shower began
al about three o'clock and continued falling
until about six But in other sections the
fall was not near so long In bryantown it
is said the ram fall was sufficient to make the
corn tina; is now silking, and to give tobacco
fine start In this locality however,
there was not near as much, aud not
even enough for the crops, but the shower
had a most refreshing effect apon vegetation
generally and has lifted the gloom that had
set led upon the farmers brow.

Mr.. Randall and the Tariff.

Mr.. Randall has authorized the Phila-
delphia Press to publish a statement
showing his attitude with respect to tar
i'll legislation. This statement puts an
end to all the stories, which have been so
industriously circulated, that Mr.. Randall
was so anxious to do something in behalf
of tariff reform that he himself would
introduce bill to revise and reduce the
tariff.
Mr.. Randall says that he shall not in
troduce a tariff bill, and that If a bill is
introduced which is not, in his opinion,
IN harmony with the national Democratic
platform, he will oppose it if he cannot
have il amended so as TO meet with his
approval.
Mr.. Randall can be depended upon to
act with the protectionists in all matters
pertaining TO the tariff. He has always
acted with them, and doubtless always
Will as long as he remains in public life.
The statement that was so widely circu.
lated couple Of months ago that he had
reached the conclusion that a reduction
OF the tariff was necessary, and that he
would be found working for a reduction
in the present Congress, very naturally
excited a great deal of surprise. 1t is not
/ probable that he authorized that state
ment, although some OF his remarks may
have occasioned it. In the future all stories
that Mr.. Randall has become a convert to
the principles OF tariff reform, and is
ready TO help the tariff reformers give
the country such tariff as it ought to
have can be accepted as having no foun-
dalton whatever. Mr.. Randall Is pro-
tectiOnist, has always been one, and
probably will remain one to the end OF
his life,
