During the last week, farmers have been busy getting in wheat, making sorghum and picking apples. First asked Wm. BRAMMER about crops. Said he sowed 27 bushels wheat; had 30 acres corn; thinks he will have 150 bbls. of apples. E. S. BRAMMER is in very poor health this fall, not being able to be out much for a year; had 18 acres corn, very light crop fruit; sowed 10 acres wheat.

J. O. BRAMMER, next farm to E. S., has good fruit crop, especially on hill, has good cane. Bees died out; built a large barn in same place the one burned about a year ago. Linsey CHRISTIAN had 3 acres cane that made 90 gallons to the acre. He thinks juice of hill cane sweeter than on bottom land. J. A. JOHNSON, with the help of three hands, makes 45 apple barrels a day, all hands working. Andy HUNT has two farms, has had splendid apples, sowed 20 bushels wheat. C. W.

Found Clinton FORGEY right in the height of sorghum making and from him learned that he has 37 acres corn, expects 1200 bushels; 2 acres cane, will have 300 gallon molasses; had 367 bushels wheat, will sow 62 acres; apple crop not good, hill orchard almost a failure; had good crop of peaches; chinch bugs took oats; has 35 hogs; 22 cattle, including 4 fat steers, 7 stand bees did well.

Showed me some fancy work done during the last year without spectacles, such as pansy blossoms, pink verbenas, sunflowers, roses, morning glories and lilies worked on silk with different colors of silk floss. This, she says, was taught in school in her school days. Showed me plates used by her grandmother that were 150 years old; also, cup over 100 years old. This the doctor filled with some of his five-year old cherry wine. Well, I will just say it was splendid.

While speaking of people up on years, I will say, B. A. WAKEFIELD, one of Lawrence county's oldest and best citizens, was born in Millersport in 1809, and is therefore in his 79th year. Mr. W. is quite supple and delights in talking about olden times. He was in Chester, Meigs county, in 1840, to hear Tom CORWIN, rode in a canoe, had a log cabin, coon skins &c. Mr. W. will cast his vote, as then, for HARRISON and protection. Mr. W.'s father, Peter WAKEFIELD, was the first Justice of the Peace in Windsor township, named the township.

Thinks he will have 200 barrels of apples, some nice looking; will present the REGISTER with a barrel of the best soon. S. WARD put out 2000 trees that are not bearing yet.

Joseph MURDOCK has a neat little country store; corn good; has the finest patch of clover in the county; has a fine pet groundhog that will sit up and eat a stick of candy; says he goes off for days then returns. Under the present law a ground hog farm would be profitable. E. W. MURDOCK has average corn; will sow 8 bushes wheat. H. HESSON is 80 years old; voted for HARRISON in 1840 and is for HARRISON again. George HESSON is an offensive partisan, that is to say, he is a staunch republican, but as the democrats have no one desirous of distributing the mail, George is allowed to remain postmaster at Dobbstown.
