Gw The Spring of 50 was more
backward than the present. Some crops
Of wheat were not put in till May, but
that was a season of the greatest album
dance. The weather is now favorable, and
we presume is being well improved for
blowing and sowing. The roads are dry
ing and will be fine in day or two.

CoMPLrMENrARY.-MrH.W. Hodges has
our thanks for fine lot of apples, embrac-
ing specimens of dozen kinds which have
kept well through the winter. Mr.. Fl. in
forms US that his trees, most of which are
large, ale dong well, and that his confidence
in the country for fruit is perfect. His fruits
are grated; the kinds not adapted 10 our
climate died long since, the remainder do
WELL He thinks that, by making proper Sc
lections Of trees propagated in the right
manner, and by avoiding the trees brought
to the country from distant parts, this may
be just as good country for apples as any
where.
MARRYING UNDER DIFFcULTfEs.-A
story is told Of wedding which took
place in this county st winter that is too
good to be lost. After making all neces-
sary and usual preparations, the enamored
swain went over into Iova county and en-
gagged Justice to tie the "silken knot"
at the same time inviting some harem sea-
rem young bucks to the wedding. When
the time came the ceremony was performed
10 this county, about forty rods from the
ino-the Justice having exceeding his 'ju
risdiction" that far After short time
the happy couple retired, leaving the guests
to have "good time" and they had it.
The boys soon made the startling discov-
cry that Justice had no authority to SOL
emnize the rites Of matrimony outside of
his own county, and that therefore the
couple lacked forty rods Of being legally
married. One Of the boys was dcpuied to
break the heart-rending news to the couple
as gently as possible. The result was,
they got up in a hurry, and after some
consultation it was decided that the only
way in which to mend rhe matter was to
go out on the prairie in Iowa county and
have the ceremony performed again. This
they did, the thermometer being about 25
degrees below zero, after which they again
retired. They had not been in bel long
before one Of the boys went TO The bed
room door and told them that the marriage
was not legal until they had certificate,
and that they must get up and wait for
one to be made out. Again they arose,
and after waiting an hour or two for the
certificate, one was finally finished which
the boys pronounced call right and the
unlueky twain were permitted to retire to
the arms of-each other.
