BACK GREEK.

Although it is habitual for Back
Checkers to be subjected to an
autumnal attact of hydrophobia, we
feel sure they would not race and fume
if that old stream should overflow
her banks at this period of extreme
drought.
The drought seems more severe in
the lower than in the upper part of
the valley, perhaps owing to thestony
nature of the upper part, as stone ap-
pears to be a protection to crops.
Mr.. George Boltz and wife were
visiting at Tomahawk on Sunday.

A recent picnic at Tomahawk was
well attended by adjacent schools.
1t is a scene Of hum iliation yet of
radiant beauty and symmetry to be-
hold the falling beams of the glowing
sun kiss the closing petals of the sum-
mer flowers; but humiliating and how
degrading and far reno we'd from any
thing beautiful it is to see our old
Back Creek valley so long home of
the good, the true, the beautiful
hunting ground, a fertile land, a tab
ernacle of the Christian band; where
cyclones and boisterous winds ne'er
sweep home for those that weep,
crowned with ampfitheaters and
shaded dells, turned into bacchanalian
halls and Babylonian temples. Yes,
have her green fields marked off in
race tracks upon which the devil ar
rays the Christian throng, has them
curse their God, drink wine, bet mon
ey, quarrel, and fight And in that
state of helpless man you win the
crown, Belshazzar's doom.

Apples, Peaches, and Pears.

Last Saturday, on invitation of Mr..
A. S. Goulden, the editor of the Her
aid visited the large orchards of the
Messrs. Miller, near Gerardstown. No
trip could be more enjoyable.
Their peach crop this year is not
what was expected by any means.
The severe winter killed more than
half the buds and the recent drought
checked the growth and retarded
ripening. However they will ship
about 5000 crates. Pears are fine and
abundant. This we know by actual
experience as the proof of pears is
the eating thereof, and the large
basketful of Bartlett's we brought
home
When apple time arrives, the Mil
lers will be busy. They estimate
their crop at 5000 barrels and there is
no doubt there will be that many.
They are of fine quality and color and
will find a ready market.
