II 1 30 P. 31 That Fifteen lo((ar CraMc During the months of September and October, in this region, we mow, and gather in the meadow grass and timothy hay; jolly times are had on the different farina, all life, particularly at this Por t/en/or season; • corn-husking and hay cutting appears to be more of amuse- Meats than otherwise, in fact it is gener ally so regarded by the lower Maryland farmers; I once (about twelveyears ago) claimed the occupation of a farmer, and I am sure you could give me no greater delight than invite me to a corn-husking party, or shucking parties, as we used to call them. I never was much of a mower, yet I could manage to handle the cradle just enough to "lay oat? as .handsome a "swath" of wheat or hay as anyone, at least I thought so, and conceit, you know; is about as good, in - . some eaves, as reality. It was about the month of October, the meadows were just about right for the.scythe r the timothy looked . as sere in places, as the dead leaves of autumn, in 'fact a little too dry, it should, in all cases, be mowed while.yet green, or the stem becomes very brittle and much is lost in the gathering of it, in ; well, I said it was about the first of October, when Our grass harvest began ; • Mr. Jacob Johnson Thompson Teasle Was then our overseer, and farmer, :and was considered, by all. around, to.be the beat' the country could produce, in fact Ondel, for all the world, " and the rest of mankind," 'in general; but even Mr. Teasle had not advanced beyond the use of scythe, and cradle in the harvest field, though not by any reason of his ignorazieentniewing:manhiaes and such like' insulting impliments, but be eituse he „greatly - prcifered the " old Ash ioned way." br father and Mr. Tamale, or Jacob, as Whirr used to call him, cotrld neithei excel the other in this capacity, though they both professed to be eicelkat:cra dlam, mid to test their .abillty,'s was nffered,bY them,.mutudiy ; the trial to ease off the next.

WATKINS , -0- "NO ENTERTAINMENT SO 011EAP.AS READING, NOR ANY PLEASURE SO LASTING." COLUMBIA, PENNSYLVANIAk.:AATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 19, 1864 made great, preparation in whetting up his scythe, and so did Mr. Teasle, he having the best, on the farm, a fifteen dollar a f fair, and apet among the reapers. Father was a man about five feet. ten inches, rather spare, yet very muscular, and not easily overcome by laborous ex ertion; while Mr. Teasle„ was a perfect giant in statue, a Hercules in strength, and the most humorous joker in the coun try, not forgetting " Old Abe" among them. The morning dawned as clear as ehrys tal, nota cloud could be seen through the, ' vast blue space of Heaven; the sun arose in splendor, as warm as a day in July; breakfast being over, they sallied forth to a twenty acre meadow, part of which was sown with timothy, and the other, marsh grass, the trial was to come off in the - grass corner, neither. one liked the job before them, but a wager was made and they were compelled to "face the music." When they arrived on the spot they found the harvesters, some ten or twelve powerful men, awaiting orders, and ready to go into it with their cradles. , (It is not customary to reap grass with cradles, but this • was a wager for that purpose, and all hands choose that instrument.) " Come, Hobert," said 11r. Teasle,lead iAg:~ff; " set in, we must commence, you know the wager is won by the first ten swathes, so come on, I'll give you a tug !" "I can't cut on this side, Jacob, 'tis the wrong hand for me, I must change sides." And moving to the left, he set his cradle in the grass, and off they went. The two men went through the meadow with such a rapid gait, that when tlyly, finished the swath, each mutually ag,reed to rest; so completely overcome were they. by the over warm rays of the as cending sun. "Don't you see how easy it is to cra dle, Mr. Townsend ? said the overseer to my father, apparently near oat of biiiath, " Of course I do, but you m' ber, Mr. Teasle, • you're an and thoroughly understaud yo) 11, 'but alee at tl • but little aboia. it • ) I-cattle-nor killed once, tryinito finiloat in the barn, one of the boys struck me, and I received s on my cranium that I ant n covered to this day. I flatter myself I can mow this trial out with you, though, and I'll do it, if I die in the attempt." " You know my motto, Mr. Townsend, is "persevere," and you had better look to yourself or" you'll lose the wager. I can do almost anything to be done on a farm, even at "laying out the proprietor!" During this short conversation the rest of the men were coming gradually up, they having been left considerably be hind, in this grand roll!' of the two chain pion mowers. When fairly up, they took a nip from the similar, (we, always had whiskey on the harvest field,) whetted their blades, and started off. The first swath was agreed upon not included in the ten to be the number cut for the prize. Father and Mr. Teasle, having been rest ed, sufficiently (for they had nearly ex hausted their strength in the first,) Mr. Teasle led off, saying, as he did so : " Come on, Mr. Townsend, what arc you afraid of? did you ever see me afraid of anything ? I've got your fificen dollar sickle here, so conic on :" 'Every one bent their cradles to the grass, and soon the two champions were ahead of the rest; but the men not wish ing to be outdone, pressed on and kept pretty close to the leader's heels. - On went Teasle I on went father! on went the men ! swath after swath had been cut with great rapidity, the field was nearly " laid low;" the eighth had been passed over, on pressed our champions, still they heard the men close to.the rear, they seemed tearing everything away be hind them; the leaders began to tear away, too, every stroke Mr. Teasle made he jumped clear from the ground, and per consequence, the hay or grass went fully three feet over his shoulder. About every thirteenth stroke oat went a finger of father'ififieen'dollar cradle. One of the men had passed them, father and Mr. Teasle kept elose together; the leading man heard Jacob's cradle close behind, crashing through.the grass at still greater veloaty, '' twas' gaming on him fast, now close to , his heels,, and be dropped his cradle and "shot off like "a tangent for safety; Mather • followed bin example ; then another'imil another fled, until with in'ten minutes Mr. Teasle had the entire tenth-swath to hhosilf, with nothing left apon the handle, save the bare .scythe; be !al:9ooth this for abiatAfteen until be came in .ciiiai*ot .with .thi 062 4df:tres;b 1 d194' 31 th 0 . 0 41. and notifwenhiAidniont• ink• had undertaken the task of outtingit off too, judging from the' Manner in which he hurled the blade into it.. If lie intend ed to, he : signally 'failed, but the scythe was nevertheless driven -into it, forming a.double Z, by the operation; and then leaving it, walked off, with the perspira tion rolling down hie - face in large drops, to where father was sanding, and, with an air of triumph, remarked; "Well, Mr. Townsend, guess I'll take the wager, I won theprize, drove you all off the meadow, and left your fifteen dol lar cradle, out therein tt.strunp! couldn't help it, Mr. ToWisend,i Ton honor I couldn't, the blailee.itullip was hid, the cradle ar'nt worth milt now, I guess!" " I most assuredly agree with you, Mr. Teasle, you have ,ve/litntly won the wager but who is to pay formy cradle 7" " The loss of a cradle was not included in the agreement ; besides you gave me the use of it; for 'the occasion, and of course 'tie yFtir:. loss I" It was agreld upon to pay Mr. Teasle, the wager, which had fairly won, and from that day to this;wlienever mention is made of."harveso:t I cannot but recol lect that mowing miiteh and the loss of father's fifteen do ; e. CkountiiratiDno. For the Spy. The Rail IL ad Once More. In former comilinnica ions I took the opportunity to spe4 of the practicability and advantage of4"railroad froutColum bia to York,- Gettysburg and Oh-ambers burg, to connect With Broad Top and A.llegheny coal fields, and which would ultimately make a connection with Pitts burg and Connellsville Railroad. I traced the connection trough the Southern counties of our State, as far as Cham bersburg, and a3arge posen of this dis - - J. WS pm was granted to the company, by an act passed the Legislature at the session of 1856. All the engineers who hav 3 tra versed and examined this section of coun try, as well as myself, say that this old railroad was really the most. practicable route across the South Mountain, to con nect with the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-, road, and The only road that has this privilege. So far from deserving its rep utation of being so intolerably crooked and impracticable; as to name it the "Tape Worm," it is likely to come into great and important service as part of the through route Wrt from Philadelphia. Upon this abandoned road the State ex pended 8800,000 west of Gettysburg— located to the Maryland line, and graded' and bridged for twelve. miles, to within about fourteen miles of Waynesboro', which town is situated in one of the finest and richest valleys of ' - the State. The bridges on this road are all of stone and as good as ever, and the embankments firm, composed principally of stone and of double track width. By the State of Maryland a charter was granted to con tinue a railway across the territory of that Commonwealth to the town of Hancock, on reaching whichtpoint it will only be seperated from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad - by the Potomac river. The connection here by bridge will be easily made. The shortest line for a railway to the southwest, is, via - Columbia, York and Gettysburg, would be furnished by a di rect road from York to New Oxford, a distance of eighteen miles,a route for the State railway was located through here, and over very favorable ground,. and grades about thirty feet per mile. And as stated before,- at this place it would meet the , Gettysburg railroad; so that the building. of this link is alone .-to be provided for. This would then complete an air lino road from - Ciiiiabia to the Maryland line, and.. from Gettysburg; Chambenburriali a direct line to the Broad Top coal region, Broad. Top pity and Hopewell On the Htutt4gdon and Bedford 'Railroad.' A A conneetiommithAte` Baltimore and Ohiii Railroad by this cheap and easy route, 'would give - _PhiladelPhia a large interest in tradcoomiagover that. great avenue..

The Cumberland coal and iron region,. now solely tributary to Baltimore would, then be accessible to Philadelphia and the intermediate places. The Northwestern Virginia or Rocksburg Railroad, would then be of ''`as much in terest to us as to Baltimore, and afford ing us an approach to , the trade of West ern Virginia, which we can in no other way enjoy. The progress of this under taking will develop other advantages not now so apparent; but these named are sufficiently important to direct attention, to the enterprise. Philadelphians wake up, and so I say to all interested along the contemplated route. A few years ago the citizens of Frank lin county held meetings for the purpose of considering the project of constructing a railroad from Chambersburg to connect at some eligible point with the finished portion of the Pittsburg and Councils ville Railroad, making,a direct and con tinuous railroad from Chambersburg to Pittsburg and the Broad Top and Alle gheny coal fields. The citizens of Frank lin county are still agitating the impor t once of a railroad connection with the Great West and the advantages it would open up to Franklin county as well as to those Of Fulton, Bedford and Somerset. In 1853 an act was passed by our Legis lature incorporating the Chambersburg and Allegheny'Reilroad Company. The charter was about being forfeited, when our Representatives at Harrisburg, had the time • extended, and a supplement to the act passed, granting additonal privil eges, among which is the right to extend the road to 'Gettysburg, or any other point in Adams county, and to connect with any road now made, or to be made, in the counties of Franklin and Adams:.

By conneetWirtk, Burnt Cabins with the Yeit47llt..4tlV that road would be made tributary to the Chambersburg and Allegheny road, and afford the people along the conteimPlated . , route a continuous railroad to Pittsburg. Being conversant with the practicabil ity and cost of the construction for a rail road from Chambersburg to the West, and the surveys to the Burnt Cabins and on to the Broad Top coal fields, I prom ised, in this article, to speak of it, but having already extended this article. to its contemplated length, I shall defer it for a future number, The experience of the past has cer tainly taught the real friends of the en terprise that delays are hazardous, and I hope they may profit by this experience by an early and vigorous prosecution of this matter yet to be performed. American enterprise has taught the world that man is capable of self-govern ment. It has subdued a vast wilderness and dotted its hills and valleys with schools, colleges, churches and happy homes; has extended our commerce to every part of the known world ; has cap tured and subdued to its purposes the forked lightning, put steam into the nos trils of the Iron Horse, and has not only brought together our principal marts of trade, but is even cennecting our neither ens villages by means of a net-work of railroads. In conchision I would say, let under all and every circumstance, a lib eral spirit prevail; lot each contribute, in ono way or the other, and the work must go on.
