Oct. 1. OF all the strange seasons that
nature has turned out since the year OF
the world /, it may we'll be doubted if
anything like the present has been pro-
duced, or ever will be again. Since
April it has been alternately cold and
dry, cold and wet, then warm and dry
with a frost every month; but however
severe some of them have been in certain
localities, in other places the bean and
pumpkin leaves are as yet only partially
killed
Being interested in the sweet corn we
visited three fields yesterday, all tof
which were nearly as green as in August,
but very uneven; some of it was already
for the factory, while the remainder
will require two weeks to mature it, and
here it is October. Shall we have it?
The Henricks brothers of Cleveland,

out music for any and all who like to
hear it. The youngest brother, Charles,
went out for the purpose OF getting a
partridge for sick neighbor, and while
on his ramble he shot fine fox; thus
hunting better than he knew, although
there happened to be no partridge in
that section.
