The Waste Basket Got It.-A young lady
of Sweet Air sent US letter this week which we
reluctantly compelled to consign to the waste
basket. It's contents were of such nature as to
be of no interest-not even to a majority of the
people in the neighborhood in which she lives
and we were therefore obliged to place it in the
secret recesses of the ample receptacle provided
especially for poems spring. the beautiful snow,
and kindred subjects. Whereat we hope our
fair correspondent will not feel offended If
she knew us as we'll as VIC know ourselves she
would know that we would rather publish lady
correspondents letter in full-even if it were
twenty pages in length-than be "caressed" like
q certain Towsontown editor was this week.

Poverty Flat, 9th District.-A great i'm
provement has taken place upon the farms of this
district within the last twenty years, and it sounds
a little queer to the writer to be INTERCEPTED upon
the prospect for blackberries, chinquapins and
chestnuts-articles which used to be the main
crops with some of us-and when they PANIED out
right smart used to delight to spread out in the
columns of the county papers, making glad the
hearts Of "Uncle Harry" "Pickles" and other
kindred spirits. But now, since twenty five
bushels of wheat is common crop, and we even
have a bonanza bean farmer among us, feel
somewhat of delcacy in writing upon my old
theme. Yet we old roosters were never SO happy
as when we used to drive old Dobbin out of corn
row into the fence corner to browse while turn
ed aside to make our MONDAY meal off of the
blackberries or threw our corn knives under
fodder shock and sent an urchin up a chinquapin
bush to shake down nuts for our evening repast.
Those were flush times which we shall never for
get, even though we may now almost float in bean
soup and other epcurean dishes. For the benefit
of my old friends may be tempted soon to write
of the prospects of the old main crops of the Upper
End, SO that when the politicians from the club"
come up to camp they may know what kind of
diet they will find O.

Another Authority on Locusts.-An ex-
change says the seventeen-year locusts are pro-
nounced harmless. This is not strictly true. The
female possesses long pointed tube, which is
cured up out of sight, ordinarily, in the body of
the insect, with which it punctures the limbs of
trees to deposit its eggs. A number of years ago,
at former visitation of the cicada, or seventeen
year locusts, negro boy in Cecil county filled
his hat with the insects and put it on his head.
One of them pierced his head, and the wound
terminated in the boys head.

Glyndon, 4th District.-Late rains have
greatly improved the appearance of vegetation of
all kinds, and the wheat has so improved as to
justify farmers in the belief that the crop will be
much better than was expected but short time
ago.
Our pretty village continues to improve, APP
pearances of thrift and enterprise being plainly
discernable on every hand. Our people are wide
awake and determined to keep abreast of the
times.
Our Sabbath school held its first anniversary
on Sunday afternoon last, of which very fatter-
ing account appeared in the Voice from the pen
of "Old Hundred" The programme consisted of
readings by Misses Daisy Seymour and Mamie
Turner; recitation by master Williams; an ad-
dress by Rev. JOS Wilmington, and the "Lost
Chord" was most sweetly sung by Miss George
Bennett. Now, if "Old Hundred" didn't know
anything about the programme, and hadn't energy
enough to find out, he would have done Glyndon
moro credit by remaining quiet. We all know
what Sunday school anniversary would be with
no singing except a solo. There were q number
of choruses by the entire school, two quartettes
by members of the choir, and the most interest
ing feature Of the whole affair was chorus by
the infant class, entitled "Little ones like me."-
The programme was concluded by singing the old
Coronation" hymn by the congregation.
If "Old Hundred would spend less time at
Glyndon station, watching "the quiet firtations
of the boys and girls" he would be better quail
fed to give correct accounts of the doings of the
neighborhood and of Sunday school anniversaries

meeting house, to his nephew, Mr.. John Childs,
for $4,000. The farm has good improvements
upon it, and is in an excellent state of cultivation

who is aged and very feeble, shall have a home
with his nephew as long as he shall live. His
wife (who was sister of Messrs. Thos. G. and
Jos. Bosley) died some years ago. They had no

CINCINNATI in a Decline.

ltinpianati sur.
'sIS il possible that Goldsmith had Cincin-
rati in his minds eye when he wrote The
Deserted Village" was the anxious query
OF one of gronp Of merchants yesterday
afternoon. The question. that boTclered on
an exclamation was provoked by an ami
mated discussion between representative
business men upon the future OF Cincinnati.
Anxiety was depicted upon every counte-
nance. The gentlemen were old residents OF
Cincinnati. and their great interest IN the
oity's welfare is strongly evidenced 10y the
money they have invested in il. Following
closely upon the startling announcement OF
the removal OF the large house OF Strobel a
Wilkcn comes the frishttul rumor, well
founded. that January ], 1856 will see thirty
or more OF The leading Cincinnati business
houses remove to New oFk City and Chi
caeo. Cincinnati : greatest commercial in
tereSt to-day is her clothing trade. lt
amounts to about 500 100000 every year.
This entire trade is on TIE. brink OF destruc-
ton. Almost every other line is suffering
in less degree. The dry goods business OF
Cincinnati has fallen OF in the last few years
until it is much less now than in 1870; Such
old firms as Tollc Holton q Co. Stedman
4 Co, Shotwell. Clerihew < Lothmann, and
many others readily recalled, have either
failed or removed. and none have risen to
represent them.
