4 Letter From Edge Hill.

All is quiet on the Potomac. The farmer
are all busy blowing or planting and thei
wives are gardening.
Mr.. Oesch has made another fish pond. II
order to stock it with spawners few sweep
with net were made in the old pond. The
proceeds were two swapping turtles, mann
moth frog, about dozen suntish, bushe
of large tadpoleS, scores of young carp from
five to seven inches long, and seven or eight
spawners. They are splendid fish, ranging
from twenty-one to twenty-seven inches in
length.
We have a nice garden but lifting about
thirty square rods of ground ore foot deep
in seven days made me tired.
I have heard that Robert Black died re-
Gently near Campground, but have not heard
what was the cause of his death.
| A son of Drusilla Gallaher was thrown by
mule and badly hurt, but at last account
was improving in health.
The heath of Mrs. David Latham is poor.
The trouble seems to be cancerous.
Mrs. Robinette is severely afflicted with
scrofula.
The war at Centreyille has luled some
what. The Circuit Judge has taken the
matter in hands and first -class counsel have
hunting up Mr.. CoZine.
1t appears that the saints at Camp Ground
being short on preachers raised the Mace
DOMAIN cry which was answered 10y Bro.
Ballon, from Crawford county, who rushed
franticaly to their aid ard preached two
days. The preaching seems to have been
about the average compound of gas, fog,
moonshine, raw potatoes, saw dust, dry
sheep dung and hell fire. but one of the
brethren recognized the divine as the gentle
man who during 'the late onpleasantries"
had stolen a horse from him. On Sabbath
afternoon Bro. Ballon took the Steelville
road. At last account late in the afternoon
Benjamin Brooks had sent him on his way
but not rejoicing with ten miles of solid
woods ahead of him. Let the brethren at
Camp Ground cry again. They may get
hog thief next time.
l see that B. NJ. Howell, county commits
sioner, has notified the learned pundits of
Reynolds county that he will interview them
at stated times. When Ben went to school
10 me he was bright and pleasant boy, and
will probably be commissioner above the
average.
Occasionally wolves come down on the
points of the ridges at night and raise Bed
lam. They are feeling the pickets but do
not venture in. A few lambs have been lost
most likely taken by the eagles or foxes.
The Improvements made by Mr.. Oesch have
compelled the wolves to change their heat.
Formerly they crossed below the farm, now
they go above it.
My pupil is doing finely. He shows re-
markable aptness especially in pennmanship
and arithmetic. I have introduced some
radical changes in teaching which promise
well, but wish to get them more complete
ly before introducing them to the profession.
In respect to politics the friends of high
protection must look ont for ground swell.
In respect to foreign affairs there will be
no war because God has work in hand with
which q war would interfere.
Even in the raging of the sea
He over it doth reign.
And when the waves thereof do swell
He stilleth them again.
