From Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CRY, Aug 81 left my home il
Darlington the 22d of July and the same after
noon passed through Baltimore and Carroll
counties, Nd, and Adams county, Pa, via
the Western Maryland Railroad, to Gettys-
burg, Pa, thence via Harrisburg, passing
through Lancaster county, to Philadelphia
| was also in Montgomery aud Bucks county,
Pa, and parts Of New Jersey. Few Of the
corn lrops l saw, although promising, were
as good and none better than those of Har-
ford, especially DIR. SappiDgton's field at OAR
llnStou.
The farmers of Cumberland and Lancaster
counties were busy with 4 heavy crop of oats,
and as it was in the heated term they were
moving slowly and cautiously with their reap
ers and binders, which were drawn by good,
strong teams. Cumberland, being limestone
county, showed the effects of the heat on the
corn.
A visit to the Indian School at Carlisle was
made interesting through the kindness of DR..
Dixon, the Medical Director. Various trades
are taught the Indian youths and the shoe
iflakers, timers, harness makers, wagon
builders, blacksmiths, carpenters, painters,
&c, we're preparing specimens OF their work
TO be sent to Spain, and the military band
that shared the honors with the United States
Marine band at the unwilling of monument
at Gettysburg. is perfecting itself for our
great Exposition next year at Chicago. or
ABOUT SUU lH(llduS IHtTe are aDOut
amongst the farmers of Pennsylvania and
Maryland this summer. We saw them march
in and take their places at the dinner table
and at the tap of the bell raise their voices i'll
Thanksgiving, singing ''Praise God from whom
all blessings fow." 1t was very touching.
They are fed and clothed, receiving such ill.,
struction as will make them useful in life
Capt. Pratt has the faculty of training them
and it is Il strong object lesson, showing it is
better to civilfze and educate than to fight the
Indian.
My visit at Trenton was made delightfully."-
interesting through the hospitality and kind
ness of one of Harf0rd's old residents, Dallas
Reeve, who with his good wife have pleasant
memories of Hartford and send kind remem-
ORANGES to all their friends here.
| also visited the pottery of John Moores,
who is President Of the Trenton company,
which has large quarries and mills IT the
mouth of Broad Creek.
Trenton has many thriving industries and
handsome residences. | was favored with an
opportunity of seeing in the stables of Scott
Quiutan, the great horse Barnhart, full broth
er to Aicrton, for which Mr.. Henry, of Bucks
Co., Pa, paid 49, 900 under the hammer. He
has record of 22l as Il three-year old. His
sire was JAY Bird, by George Wilkes. Also
the horse Bro. e., by Sentinel Wilkes, 2Gl
and Don Wilkes, by Red Wilkes, 29!-all
large and handsome horses.
Oh cuHudg, July 81. Ihcio "SlS ihOio P0i
sons present at Atlantic City than We're ever
known to be there on Sunday, and though
there are churches of all denominations the
beach had the largest number of deVotees.
They had not drawn very heavily upon
Worth's fashion plates, especially in bathing
suits. But amongst all the beauty OF the
country and prosperity of the people every
where is noted those two great eVils-rum and
tobacco, which are sapping the foundations
and clouding the brains of many of our best
and brightest minds. q. l.. ).
