Show Fixed Up at Last. j St. George, August 13, 187S. : Editor Herald: j I am vanquished by a mighty ' "Sameou" who Eettlea tho "all im portant matters" as set forth by this correspondent. This powerful and intellectual mind "deems it a duty incumbent upon ?tim" lo correct us and set tho world right. Now, isn't it kind of him, philanthropic, noble! to thus arrest the progress of labor and give light to those who Bit in the shadow error, but with a giant mind , nerved by duty, he proceeds to tell what? In parenthesis ho siya our 1 thermometer hangs in a cellar; that between 12 and 2 bia iualru-1 iualru-1 ment marked 107 i; that he doesn't kDOW any "Samuel JurorBj" that "apples are nearly all falling off:" that tome of his grapes get willed and bis peaches are not luscious. Well, 'tis little wonder bia fruit wilta and loses flavor under euch heat. We do not blame them. We are BOrry to disturb theromance of this intellectual corrector of things, but as our reputation for truthlulneaa bat stake we feel a "duty incumbent." incum-bent." e take our thermometrical reading from a United States Bigual service instrument, from under a south porch, densely clad with vines, where a very correct temperature prevails. At midday, as we stated it, our instrument has not marked over 100 this summer. "Samson" says his marked 107J between 12 and 2 o'clock. We have no objections and no dispute on that.

Wo have no desire to go beyond the facta as some do to make people abroad believe we are a race ol Salamanders down here, that feast and fatten by breathing flame. Facts are hot enough. The correction of the typographical error in the name of S. Jams was a noble act. He dosen't know "Jurors." Well, it is not to he supposed that a small man, with a small head, will know everything, unless he eats largely of finny lood. When you are told that "apples are nearly all falling off by the heat and codling moth," it wont do to believe it. Our trees are at present as well loaded with apples as usual, acd indeed generally a better cop. Tue codling moth has made in uppciirftDoe. but as yet to very little diimage. Many gardens are s.ort ol water here, which results in fruit inferior in-ferior iu size, and early ca-Uing ot . fruit, but orchards reasonably watered look well and are laden with fruit, and this year a much larger crcp :hau I auy year previous, and from a large orchard, wo have not found any apples "Learly useless."
