: At last we have had the latter rain and
the way corn has unrolled and brighten
ed up, and vegetation generally, except
the worm eaten trees, is really encOurag-
ing. OF course it is not known how far
the rain extended, but II is hoped as far
as there was any drouth. Az ieducts
were failing, but probably there will be
nothing like it again during the season.
Erastus Bryant has so far improved in
health as to be able to get out in fair
weather and do few light chores. For
a long while everybody supposed his
days were about numbered, so that his
present state of health is looked upon
as remarkable.
Some time ago it was stated that
Adoniram Swan was somewhat insane,
and he has been getting worse 80 that
now it is difficult to keep him at home
except by being locked up in his room.
Saturday afternoon they found him
missing, and continued the search until
dark, and the next day resumed it with
lying on his back, his head down hill, in
which position he had lain for nearly
twenty-four hours. In trying to get
over the fence his pants legs caught in
the barbed wire, causing him to fall and
was unable TO regain his feet. They
carried him to the house, being too ex-
hausted to walk, and when asked where
he was going his reply was that he had
started out TO find his calf. He denied
being uncomfortably cold during the
night or that he was then hungry, but
was getting pretty dry.
Miss Cora Morgan commenced her fall
term of school Monday with the addition
of three more scholars than the other,
swelling the present number up to ten.
All went well until Wednesday morning,
when on entering the school house it
became plain that some one had been
there during the night, and on searching
round it was discovered that the teach
er's Bible, the clock, jackknife, pencil
and quantity of matches were missing
at the same time handful of green peas
were scattered about the floor. The
school books had not been disturbed.
nor any injury done to the house.
Efforts have been made to capture the
thief, but as yet without success.
The centennial celebration next week,
and may the day be propitious for the
occasion. But there is to be another on
the 18th of October, by far the most
unique and interesting that ever occur
red in this or any other country. More
about il anon.
