Bloom ug Spring has Como

Aye, the zephyrs are once again watt
ing from the glowing south the breath
of roses and orange blossoms, and even
here, in the broad beauteous plains of
the West, the fragrance of the snowy
white plum trees, and the beds of bloom
lug %violets sufuse the genial breath of
spring with the most grateful doors.
The forests and groves, and even our
own sweet ree-studded lawn, in front,
are rapidly assuming the bright, leafy
garb, so cheerfully veElGnt as to make
the heart ihrob with delight, as at early
morn the merry wild sonssters MARBLE
their joyous notes, to awaken and nco
rage the husbandman in his honest toll,
and cheer tie heart that is SD and lone
ly, or oppressed with tho cares of lifc.-
If there be a real JOY FOR mortals on earth
it is these, combined with the compan-
ionship of n quiet home, with "wife,
children and friends - and o heart to APP
preciate heavens best gifts.
Give US the spring-time, with its::bright
springing vcrdure, its fragrant flowers,
its music Of brooklets and birds, its sigh.
ing zephyrs and soft twilights, its youth
giving, soul-cheering, omnipotencc, its
glorious sunshins and pattering, %reyiv-
ipg showers, its soft velvet carpet Of
green, its sweet leafy groves, and heuFts
of lose and friendship, and hands of firm
ness and truth, and we ask no paradise
but Garth, and a regal sceptre would be
n o'tcmptation to fly from these-and even
the joys of heaven would scarce compen-
safe in exchange for so great happiness
thus bena6cently provided by the all
wise and bountiful creator of our exis-
tence, our hopes, and our hereafter. O,
the heart must be dead and hopeless,
that cannot enjoy the elysiam Of spring
the diadem of the year, and the crown
ing beauty Of mortal life, and the fore
shadowing of those immortal joys be-
yond this life of cares and sorrows.

Easy Mode ofGrowtng Pota-

We remember, when quite a boy, we
had on the farm and near the barn n
picceOf g%reensward and after finishing
planting, we had left several bushels of
small potatoes. At fathers suggestion
these potatoes were scattered over the
.greensward, and manure from the barn,
yard, long and short was hauled ont and
promiscuously scattered over the pota.-
toes. In the fall we pitched away tho
manure, and picked up from the topsof
the ground many bushels of fne,, clean
potstoes, OF late we have noticed that
mode higLly recommended BY, numbers
who have tried il. We believe it to be-
easyland successful way of producing
that crop, and shall practice that mode
this season, and expect to chronicle q
good result. 20 Yg1Ssid aIg1s sti 80

From friend Walker, at Genoa, we
learn Of the following fight, which oc-
Cured near fhat place:
On the morning Of the 25th inst. Two
Pawnee Ipdiaps were opt ON the blpGs

before they were aware ofathe fact they

from the village in pursuit, but failed to

that war is ended. .4s1ss eyy b,iv,
Some 100 pf the chiefs and principle
men Of the Pawnees went oversons afisit

presents in horses, but came
back with about a dozen, considerably
disappointed. II seems that these from
tier tribes have all met with great losses
in their stock this past winter.
