porous condition. Messrs. James NJ. Giles
pie, John H. and Gillmor Shafier are also
officers in the school.
Strawberries and peas are in their zenith
Peas have been commanding fair figures, viz.
$l.25 per bushel.
Some of our peach growers state that the
crop here will be light. Our men engaged IN
that indispensable branch of industry, agri-
culture, are much in the rear, owing TO SO
much rain; indeed, the rainfall is nearly equal
to that within the tropics. Our corn is IN
various stages Of progress; some will be cut
for market about July LIST, while not few
farmers are yet planting. Potatoes and oats
we never saw look more promising. Rye
and wheat harvest are drawing nigh. The
present indications for an average yield are
good.
Many of the farmers have availed them
selves 6f the most improved machinery, con
sequently, garnering is hailed with cordial
welcome.
One gentleman here remarked, some time
age, that in by gone days men would pose them
selves on his fences inclosing the mammoth
fields of wheat, and interrogate him as to the
! prices he proposed to pay them der diem.
! Now he perches himself upon the harvester,
cracks his whip and says TO his honest steeds,
go.
Rossvlle Station Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road has been improved by the erection of a
fine telegraph tower. Some enterprising peo
pie from the city have purchased large tract
Of land at this place, and it is automatically
stated that large brick works will be establish

Wilson and Gillmor Shafier have recently
completed a substantial hog pen. They have
made many import ant improvements to then
in fine farm of l4S acres. Mr.. Charles Mohr
has commenced the erection Of dwelling for
himself at this place.
All are getting ready for the great political
contest to take place in November. Mr..
Harrisons denomination appears to satisfy
his party. Cleveland's disciples are making
things interesting If New York will do wise
and support Mr. Cleveland all may end well.
Turn about is fair play; now boys organize
Systematically and go to work in earnest.
