GLEANINGS FROM GOSHEN HILL. Newsy Letter from Ivy Green. Considerable Loss by Fire?A Pleasant Trip. It has been several months since I wrote to my own loved county paper, and my heart seems to stand still when 1 recall the anxieties, sufferings and losses that I have experienced during this silence?why those long long days of watohing beside the bedside of a loved daughter. Why this pile of ashes instead of a noble old-fashioned gin house, 15 bales of ootton, wagon, farmer's implements, etc., nothing but ajpile of aahea. That is why my | heart aches. Why these reverses of fortuaes? Why? Why? "But He doeth all things well." "No chastisement for the present seemeth joyous .but grievous." These are words of holy writ, and I must learn to suffer and be strong. Excuse these personal allusions, for sometimes we cannot keep silent. We long tor sympathy. I think that I have friends among the correspondents and readers of this i _ fit a_ _ si a is paper, woo win De wining 10 aiiow me thia expression of my feelinga. If it ia a murmur forgive me. The oropa in this vicinity are nearly all gathered, especially the cotton. The corn crop is better than was expected some months ago. The peas and potatoes are putting on more than we anticipated, and the turnips are growing oti beautifully. The recent rains have revived the gardens very much. The good price of cotton has gladdened the farmer's heart.

All the state and party leaders of prominence were prosent with a few exceptions, which shows that there is unity of purpose among Now York Democrats. Mr. Bryan devoted himself to the trusts and imperialism, touching upon other minor issues. His speech was entirely extemporaneous, but he was never at a loss for words or phrases. In fact, this was his master effort of the entire campaign. He assailed the Republican campaign nuu nuvaucea unansweranie arguments in support of the Democratic party.
