called the York Barrens' in the southeastern

lands, and this season they have been amply
rewarded by large crops. The principal varie-
ties are potatoes, corn, wheat, sugar corn, cab
bage tobacco and hay. Vast numbers of hogs
and cattle are also raised and fattened These
are shipped to city and foreign markets. Two
hundred and fifty carloads of potatoes will go

onions, 20 carloads of cabbage, $50 carloads of
hay 80 carloads of sugar corn, and proportion

China or 'Coronation,' and the mind floats
down on the current of these old melodies to
that fresh young day of hopes and illusions
of voices that were sweet no matter how false
