WAnxTNG TO BoYs.-On Sunday afternoon
at half past four o clock ,as son Of Mr. John
Macner, together with another boy, both
about ten wears old. were playing on raft
by the Ferry, they got out on log when it
began rolling. The one boy came of IN
time to keep from getting in the river. but
the other boy could not, and therefore slips
ped in far beyond his depth. Had it no
been for the t.mely assistance of Mr. +. +.
d. Branan he would have been drowned as
he had sank the second time. Boys who
canoot swim should be careful how they
venture beyond their depth. Let this be
warning to oil others to keep IS far away
from the deep places in the rive. as pos Isl
BILE.
Tap CRops.- We treated ourselt to ride
into the country on Saturday and csme
home cheered with the brieh. prospects the
farming districts afford. The P:easan, Val.
ley farmers say they never experienced
more encouraging weather than that Of this
season so far, and with the exception ofthe
potato every crop bids fair 70 make hand
some return. The wheat never looked bet-
ter; 'he corn, though LITTLE backward On
account Of the protracted rains that fell do
ring the planting time, is coming forward
evenly and With . rush other grain, ditto |;
but il must be admitted that the potatoes
seem rather buggy, though there is yet
hopes of gsod crop. The farmers are now
full Of business cultivsting their corn. and
will soon commence haying in the upland
fields.
A. whole there is every prospect that
the crop Of 1867 win be bount'ful one.
