MOUNT AIRY. N. j., July 2, 1889.
Mr. Editor;-To people living in the
country it seems your reporter last week
must have been stimulated with enthusi-
asm near to the danger point, in writing
up the outlook on agricultural matters.
He said grass, grain, fruit, &C., never
looked better and that little buckwheat
cakes as large as fipennybit, were also
appearing on the vines. We have no IL
cense in West Amwell and to us the out
look is not quite sobright. fthas rained
nearly every day and but little corn was
planted in good shape and still less pro-
perly attended to. We have two weeds
to one corn and while drink is good for
man and corn, too much will kill both.
"See ?"
Wheat is but moderately fair Many
heads stand perfectly erect like newspa-
per reporters, which is indicative of
light.headedness, aud still 1t rains. Grass
is about good average crop, with fair
prospect of being badly damaged. Oats
looks well but with the chances that 1t, too,
win receive black eye if Mr.. Greeley
don't change his way of doing business
Potatoes we leave to the bugs. Rain
washes the green off as fast as put on.
Fruit--but few apples, few cherries, scat
tering plums and pears. Caterpillars aud
insects, too numerous to mention, are in
great abundance, and the Texas fly is al
so here in force. Peaches--your scribe
fairly stopped over on them. He men,
toned many who will have lots of them
IL eyes, "if,'D and we could mention as
many more who will not have any with
out any ifs shout it.
In short, the only thing we have to be
proud Of this season is that our lady
friends have grown smaller bustles and
fewer bangs than last year. Bangs and
bustles must 60 and to be rid of them WI
can we'll afford to lose our entire crops
of everything green, even tobacco. Since
they (bangs and bustles), have been in
vogue, life has been burden. We have
envied the blind man and seriously con-
sidered suicide.
We wish to call attention of Board of
Health to the unbearable stencil caused
by hog pens on York road, near Lam
bertyille, and also of Road Overseer of
said road. 1t is in terrible condition.
Get there Abe. What's the matter with
you ?
Miss c. M. Fackenthall, Principal of
the Hanover Street Public School, Tren-
ton, started last Saturday on trip across
the Continent to Washington Territory.
She will be gone about two months, and
just how many scalps she will have 10 her
belt when she returns from the "Wild
West" remains to be seen. We wish
her safe, pleasant and interesting jour

ton, particularly from two OF three dep
uty aldermen, who had been asleep tie

ever, one tall, dry looking old gentleman,
with beetling eyebrows, who maintained
a grave and rather severe face through
ont; now and then folding his arms, in.
clining his head, and looking down upon
the floor, as if turning a doubt over in
his mind. He was one of your wary
men, who laugh but upon good
grounds-when they have reason and
the law on their side. When the mirth
of the rest of the company had subsidized,
and silence was restored. he leaned one
arm on the elbow of his chair, and stick.
ing the other a-kimbo, demanded, withs
slight but exceedingly sage motion Of the
head, and contraction Of the brow, what
vas the moral of the story, and what it
went to prove.
The story teller, who was just putting
a glass of wine to his lips, as a refresh
ment after his tolls, paused for a mo
ment, looked at his inquirer with an ali
of infinite Difference, and lowering the
glass slowly TO the table, observed that
the story was intended most logically to
prove:
THAT there is no situation in life but
has its advantages and pleasures-pre
vided we will but take a joke as We
fini it;
THAT, therefore. he that runs races
with goblin troopers is likely to have
rough riding of it:
Ergo, for a country schoolmaster to
be refused the hand of a Dutch heireSss
a certain step to high preferment in the
state"
The cautious old gentleman knit bis
brows tenfold closer after this explana-
ton, being sorely puzzled by the ratlocl-
nation of the syllogism; while, me
thought, the one in pepper and salt eyed
him with something of a triumphant
leer. At length he observed that all thls
was very well, but still he thought the
story a little on the extravagant-there
were one or two points on which he had
his doubts:

to that matter. | don't believe one-hato Oh

ADJUSTMENTS.

The McElroy Theatre Company left
mere on Monday for Ludlow, Vt. Dur
ing their weeks engagement here they
played to nightly increasing audiences,
until Mt its close on Saturday evening the
number aggregated fifteen hundred peo-
pie, an unheard of attendance for this
place. They are ladies and gentlemen
and good actors, Who will find friends
and patronage wherever they pitch Their
tents. Their repertoire for the week was
well chosen. Those who remember VIII
liam Warren's Inimitable acting, will
notice in Mr.. Brennan a wonderful resem-
blance, both in person and style of play
ing. Mrs. Brennan stars most aecepta-
bly, in each of her numerous roles, but
was given a better scope for her powers
as Lady Isabel Vane, in East Lynne.
Mr.. Thomas was excellent as are all the
members of the company. They con-
template another visit to this place on
their return trip early in the summer, and
will doubtless receive a warm welcome.

Abhor the idea of an attack of catarrh as
they do the bite of a poison snake. Yet
this foul and disgusting disease is very
common. In its first stages it causes
very little discomfort and is therefore
likely to be neglected. 1t is an infiam-
nation of the lining membrane of the
mouth, nose and throat. The glands and
membranes secrete fluid to keep the
mouth, nose and eyes moist. From cold,
debility and other causes this fluid is apt
to be too copious, this is catarrh. Flow
ing from the nostrils il causes weak and
watery eyes, irritates the nose, causes
sneezing and finally the cougfin ing up and
ex%pectoration of offensive matter. These
droppings will sometimes collect so rap
idly as nearly to choke the person. Un-
less promptly treated catarrh lasts for
years, producing dreadful results. The
ordinary symptoms are pain in the ewes
and in the forehead over the eyes. ; a dull
heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal
passages. discharges falling into the
throat and a moist offensive breath. On
the first sign of its appearance DIR.
Browns Sarsaparilla should be taken 10
purify the blood, for Catarrh is a blood
disease. In chronic cases an Immediate
cure must not be expected but this great
regulator of the blood will, if its use be
continued, afford speedy relief and final
cure. Hay fever, or cold In the head. a
disease of summer chiefly, has similar
symptoms and is cured by this remedy
in the saIne way. 1t Is important to re-
MEMBER that catarrh. beng neglected, or
not arrested. gradually creeps down into
the wlndDiDe and lungs ard may end in
Incuraole consumption. You may easily
and cheapIy prevent this terrible calam-
ity by the use of Browns Sarsaparilla.
