ton Telegraph, of the Sd list, says:
The accounts from the interior
are of active preparations being
made for planting. The weather
has been favorable for blowing,

dy been completed. The large in
crease Of laboring force by inning

greater increase in the production

we are led to believe that not less
than twenty or twenty-five thous.

covering for the feet When they 20 out 10
make purchases, they are strictly prohibit

the outside to be served, and wait longer
than is absolutely necessary. When they

Of acts against the law will be severely pun
