We are told we had the coldest and wettest April, May, and Jupe ip torty-six years and we know from actual experience that they have not lied, All through this and many other counties farmers on clay solls were unable to get suything planted before June 1st, which would have worked out all right and profitably for them had the two succeeding months been normal. July and August were record smashers, the mercury hover- ing around the 100 degree mark throughout both months and twice went to 104, The results of these ex- tremes can be seen now on nearly every farm and can be summed up like this : Esrly potatoes, slow to coms up, make large growth of vines and have very few potatoes under them, snd ere selling now for $1.50 per bu ; qaality good, Corn ss a general re- sult will be a fallure with us while in isolated spots you will see 8 good field ~that ie, where the flint varieties were planted. The season was fine for corn where it was planted esrly. The writer planted three acree—one of sweel corn apd two of the smut nose flint varlety—>n sandy black losm land, and a betler crop could not be desired, but I planted on the 24th of May. Bweet corn I grow to market in our town; my 2-acre farm lies within the city limite and only one walle from the city proper and that fe why it le very profitable for me to grow truck. I planted everything early and left it for rain, I dodged the showers and planted. [ did not grumble sbout the weather, go to town and get a drink, and wait until it was too late to plant profitably. The re- sults can be summed up this way : 1 am selling potatoes st §1.25 per bu; csbbages, of which I will bave 2,000, at 5 to 10¢ & head ; sweet corn at from 124 to 1bc doz; carrots, beete, ruts- bagasse, ele, 0 my neighbor farmers ss well as to the city people, and am working over time to supply them. Most all the above named vegetables did pot grow on many farme this year and high prices will prevail every- where. The hay crop was double this year all over the state ; price $72.00 to $10.00 per ton. Butter, 302 and scarce. Apples, a good crop; huckleberries, fair crop—$2.00 to $3.00 bu,; egge, 300 doz.

These men and wo- men are troud of their native state and ancestry, going out of our fertile valleys and prosperous towns to make new homes, but take with them their ancestral characteristics of thrift, honesty and religion, To those who remain at home equal hon r should be given; to them is entrusted the charge of perpetuating the many virturs, stability of charac ter and unadulterated probity of a God-fearing ancestry in our own homes. To this rear gusrd belonged the subj-ct of this sketch. From a long line of patriotic and plous ancestry he inherited the many traits of character that were so promi- nent in his whole life, From the fraternal side came the hardy, plod- ding, psiustaking German character : from the maternal side the quicker, more intense and to a degree impul- sive character of the Beoteh Irish. His father, John Goodhart, was s ustive of Perry county, but-his early manhood and maturer years were ‘NO. 36 TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS, HAPPENINGS OF LOCAL INTEREST FROM ALL PARTS Nearly a half inch of rain fell on Friday, The world is about se good to us as we are to it, L.

Henry McEwen, with his young wife, came to Penns Valley shortly after the revolution, from Carlisle, when the valley was little leas than a wildernes. Henry McEwen wae a soldier of the revolu- tion, enlisting at Carlisle, in Captain Hendrick's Company of Vennsylvania riflemen, Boon after bis enlistment his company was ordered to Boston and with others was chosen by General Schuyler, with Arnold in commsnd, to make the memorable march from Fort Western (now Augusts) through the wilderness to join General Mont- gomery snd assist in the attack on the fortress of Quebec. In this bapd-to- nand fight McEwen was wounded and taken prisoner and Lis captain and steadfast friend, Captain Hen- dricks, mortally wounded. The hard- ships and privatione of this march, as told by historians, in mid-winter, and severe northern climate, fording raging torrente, deep snow, clothing torn to rage, lack of food, having to eat the moccasins that covered their frozen feet, seems almost incredible to us of this day. From esrly manhood George L. Goodhart hed been 8 member of the Sinking Creek ( Centre Hall) Presby- terisn Church and for over forty years a ruling Elder. He had his be- loved church always near his heart and in prosperity or adversity he stood steadfast, upholding and en- coursging pastor and people; he never faltered or shirked a duty. He always took great interest in the moral: and civic affairs of the community, held many positions of responsibility and truest and administered them all with fidelity and carefulness. He was county commissioner for two termes (6 years ) many years treasurer of the Patrons of Husbandry Fire Insurance Co., treasurer of Grange Park Associa- tion, His avocation was that of a farmer. He was active and pro- gressive ; always in advance in any measure that had for ite object the betterment of the farmer or farm life. As years came on he relinquished his farm to his son, taking up kis home in Centre Hall, where he spent the remaining years of his busy life honored and respected by all. Born, lived and died in beautiful Penne Valley, every foot of ground within the confines of the *‘ Beven Hills”, Tassey and old Nittany Mouuntsine; was dear to him. It was his joy to see it prosper, his best efforts to promote its growth and advance ment. No one knew its people better or loved them more, The homage pald him on the beauti- ful day when all that was mortal was borne to its ast resting attests the love and esteem in which he was held by those who were his neighbors and friends and with whom his life had been an open book.
