sylvania opened on the lst inst.
Corn husking is now the principal
occupation of the farmers. Many fields
are nearly or quite finished. Tie crop is
a pretty good one in most places.

be season for heavy pigs. Already Harry
Naylor, of New Hope, killed two that
weighed 80 pounds and 592 pounds re-
spectively.
Hiram Scarborough, of New Hope,
who had two fingers of his left hand
crushed about two weeks ago by an 500

norant. Under the physicians treatment

Ex-Comptroller James f. Connolly, of
Newark, was on Thursday last appointed
by the President Collector of Internal
Revenue for this Collection District, TO
succeed George Ii. Large. This closes a
long contest. Senator Mcpherson urged
his friend Major Samuel Klotz for the po-
sition, while Senator Smith was equally
urgent 10 behalf of ex Mayor Haynes.
Finally Smith dropped Haynes aud sup.
ported Connolly, aud his success must be
set down as distinct personal triumph
for the junior Senator over Mcpherson,
who, now that he is going out of office

lost influence with the Administration as

LAST Wednesday night was Hallow-
cen, when large number of our young
people-some with faces blackened by
burnt cork, others wearing false faces,
masks, &C., and dressed in all sorts of
fancy and ridiculous paraded
the streets, singing, shouting, blowing
horns aud making other hdeous noises.
They also made friendly calls at many
residences and public places and were
frequently treated to cakes, apples, &c.
Grains of corn and shot were thrown by
the handful against windows and doors,
aud the next morning some of the streets
gave the impression that there had been
a heavy rain of corn during the night.
Some ga'es were removed from their
hinges and empty dry goods boxes were
piled promscuously in the streets and on
the sidewalks.

NAPoLEON's FIRST SUCCESS.

AT last the opportunity he had sought
so long and SO eagerly had come lin the
appointment as General-in-Chief of the
Army of the Interior.)
The change in Bonaparte himself was
great. Up to his time he had gone
about Paris Sin an awkward and un-
calmly manner with a shabby round hat
thrust down over his eyes, and with
curls (known at that time as grizzlies
des chiens), badly powdered and bad
ly combed, and falling over the collar of
the iron gray coat which has since be-
come SO celebrated; his hands, long, hin
and black, without gloves, because, he
said, they were an unnecessary expense;
wearing ill-made and ill-cleaned boots"
The majority of people saw in him only
what Monsieur de Pontecouiant, who
TOOK him into the War Office, had seen
at their first interview:-"A young man
with a wan and livid complexion, bowed
shoulders, and a weak and sickly ap-
p~earance."
But nov, installed in an elegant hotel,
driving his own carriage, careful of his
person, received in every salon where
he cared to go, the young General-in-
Chief is a changed manufactures for
December.
