1806 General Condition.
Tho intense hoat and high percen
tage ot sunshine during the past
week caused tbo advanced crops to
mature and ripen rapidly. These
conditions were favorable to all
growing crop3 SxTcept 'whore there
was a doflciency of moisture. Off
ing to the unequal distribution of
the rainfall gome sections are be
coming too dry for the best develop
ment of the later crops, grass, and
pasture lands. Most of the oats
have been housed in good condition,
and the yield win be large. Con
siderable good hay has also been se
cured. Corn and buckwheat are
very promising. Tobacco cutting
is in progress and it is generally of
good quality. Truck and garden
produce is plentiful, and many ap
ple trees are so overloaded that they
are breaking down. In several lo
calities potatoes are rotting badly.
Clover seed promises a good crop.
Quite a large acreage of plowing has
been completed.

Not even standing under the

terval the affection of a wanderer for
his native land. He will even take
the chances of incarceration for ex

uberant feeling which wells Bp
within his breast, as his mind re

OBITUARY.
HENRY O. FORD.
non. Honry O. Ford, President of
tho Pennsylvania ?lh Comminsion
ers died Monday evening at the Ger
man Hospital in Philadelphia where
he was under treatment for a com
plaint of long standing. This spring
he visited this county in hopes of
receiving benefit, ' but was not
strengthened and he returned homo.
He was an enthusiastic angler and In
pursuit of this sport traveled all
over the United States and Canada
fishing the most prominent streams.
His labors in stocking our streams
and particularly the Delaware river
with shad has very largely increased
the product of fish, and it is estima
ted that one of the results of placing
young shad in this stream alone has
resulted ,in an increased value of
the fisheries of $100,000.
He was a member of most of the
prominent angling associations of
the country, and gave especial at
tention to the preparation of the an
nual reports which were the finest
of the kind published. He was twloe
married his second wife being the
daughter of Moses Van Gordon, of
Lehman township, this County.who
with one son Ralph, and three sons
by a former wife survive him.
His remains will be interred to
day, (Friday) In the Delaware ceme
tery at Dingmans, he having ex
pressed a wish to be laid at rest in
that peaceful andt beautiful spot.'

have been several offers of locations
for the sooioty but none have been
so favorably considered as this, and
if some details in regard to the land
can be satisfactorily arranged no

The estate of Jacob Ottenheimer has
offered to donate fifty acres of land
to build an auditorium, tabernacle,
annex.bicycle course and boats. Dr.
Borkowitz has been giving a series of
lectures in the line of work and last
Sunday ga ve a detailed statement of
the entire oourse, which it takes two
years to complete. The study in
volves Jewish history and Biblical
quotations. The doctor says in this
enlightened age he docs not think it
proper for people to take the Biblo
as it was written, but to dissect it
and discover if possible the hidden
truths and meanings. Some sayings
in the Bible are not proper for , ohil
dren to use and it is better to give
them those things which would
benefit them in their lives teaching
them the true doctrines of unnst. .
He afterwards solicited member
ship and received over one hundred
names from guests at the house
alone, and also a very handsome
contribution in money. Should this
project materialize it will probably
be the means of building the long
