BURNING PRAIRIEs.-We have never, since
our residence in Minnesota, known Spring to
make such rapid strides as this year. One week
ago the earth's surface everywhere was still
hidden beneath the mantle of winter, and now
the evening skies are red with the tints of prai-
RE CONGREGATIONS. In another week, if the
weather holds as at present, the ground will
be ready for the pillow.
