JACOB LEINBERGER has on his lots,
some six or seven acrss, on the North
east side of the town from which
crop of corn has just been cut, one of
the finest arrays of golden pumpkins
ever seen in this section, varying in
size from peck to a half bushel meas
ure. The ground is literally strewn
with them, estimated at about 5000 in
number, enough TO make between so
and 100 wagon loads. The pumpkins,
If used for canning purposes, will
nearly equal in value the corn grown
on the ground. Mr.. Leinberger is par

crops from his lands of anything he

pleasure and pride to all who stated

was the Sacrifice ofIsaac," a discourse
characterized by clearness of biblica
statement and marked touches of ten
derness in its delineatiOn and applica-
ton that both interested and edited
his attentive audience. Rev. R. K.
Stephenson gratifed them with a good
discourse in the evening. Rev. w. NJ.
Warner, the pastor, was gratifed in
securing the money to cover the whole
cost of improvement, $3.50. The bal
