FRUIT.--Thc fruit crop, from present

FRCIT-Ihe frult crop, from present
appearance in this county, has never been
more abundant than it promises to be the
approaching season. Cherries may be said
to festoon the boughs, the punches of green
fruit hang in such quantities. Apples and
peaches are also plentiful and the smaller
fruits, too, such as currants, gooseberres,
blackberries, etc., appear to have been
touched by the wand of Ceres or some other
deity Of the fruitful year.

processes strong Union sentiments, and last

exercised in attempting to clear his skirts
from the red blotches of treason, charged to
the account of that defunct body, by the
people. Armed with ponderous volume,

Of votes, the object Of which being to prove
that the said member in his official capacity
as a representative of Cecil, entertained no
reasonable motives toward the government
Of the United States. The book may as
well be left at home in future, and the sim
pie fact of drinking the health ofthe traitors
king, JEFF. Davis, and that arrant military
humbug, Beauregard, while groaning the
President, is all the evidence that any honest
man wants of the patriotic motives of said
member in casting those votes so dificuh of

that act doesn't cover such cases as the one
here referred to, that Legislature had as

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
TIE WEATHER AND CRops-Befc

THE WEATHER AND CRops.-Before
the recent rains, which have kcen such n
blessing to the parched earth, the crops
were beginning to suffer severely from
drought; The grass fields we're covered
with sickly hue as they lay quietly, with
their wealth of verdure, scorching beneath
summer sun. The raius of the present
week will insure a large crop Of grass and
grain to our farmers. Neither Of those crops
was ever more promising in the county than
at present. The wheat in full head, is Just
coming into blossom, and the supply of
moisture to the roots insures the proper
development of the grain and an abundant
crop. Oats, which has been rather back
ward on account of the protracted drought,
will push forward rapidly, and, with the
addition of n few more showers between this
and harvest, must yield fine crop. We
have heard almost universal complaint
among our farmers of the ravages Of the
cut worm. This troublesome insect has
attacked the corn the present season, and
wrought great deal of injury to this plant,
SO tender in its young state. Some of our
farmers have replanted part of their fields
three times. But the ravages of this enemy
to the maize crop ceases about the first of
June, and the future season proving favora.
BILE, we may reasonably expect an average
crop of corn, in this vicinity, notwithstand-
ing the injury inflicted on the early plants
by dry weather and the cut worm.
Except early potatoes, this crop has not
suffered much. Gardens are more back
ward and unprodnctive the present season
than is their wont in this latitude. Dry
weather had effectually checked the growth
of vegetables. and the consequence was
that the table has been but poorly supplied
with the produce of the garden this spring.

The Sabbath School connected with the

prietors of the former woods refusing to
allow the school the use Of their ground, till
it was ascertaincd how the strawberry festi-
val, which is to be on next Thursday night,
for the benefit of the Episcopal church, is
patronized by those interested in the Sab
bath School. We will see how much pa tro-
mage this act of christian courtesy on the
part of the former will draw from the friends
of the latter.
Addresses to, and singing by the children
will constitute the services of the day. An
abundance of seasonable refreshments will
be for sale on the ground for the benefit of
the school.
