done to the peach blooms.-AtheHs Post

Tuesday and Wednesday nights.-Athent
Post, March q.
No ELECTToN.-The election in tbi:
coanty for County Judge, which should
have taken place last Saturday, according
to law, didn't come of. The hegira OF
Adam Bloom, Commissioner of Registra-
ton, left the county without any one au-
thorized to appoint Clerks and Judges OF
election.-Fdyetterile Observer, March 26.
WHEAT.-A gentleman of this city who
has been rnsticating down on Shoal creek,
in the southwestern portion of the county,
for few days, says the prospect for an
abundant yield of wheat is very fine. One
old farmer, who has been living in the
county for fifty years, states that he never
had such promising prospects for wheat in
his life.-PulGski Citizen, March 81.
The .CRoPs.-From information gath
cred from all parts of the county, from Cit
liens who have been in attendance upon
the Circuit Court, we are led to hope that
the damage TO the wheat is not so great as
has been generally supposed. The recent
fair weather has brought it out amazingly,
and unless nipped by an untimely frost,
which by the way is not very likely, the
wheat crop of the county will probably
not fall very far short of the average
Franklin ReUieW, March q.
AFFAIRS IN Polk CoUNTY.-The wheat
crop in Polk, we are glad to learn from an
esteemed correspondent, is looking finely.
The prospect never was better at the same
time of year. The prospect for fruit is
also flattering, Notwithstanding the recent
frosts. Politics appear to be very dull and
no excitement exists. The people of Polk
are looking forward with much interest to
the commencement of work on the Cleve-
land and Ducktown railroad, as it will put
a good deal of money in circulation and
revive business generslly.-KnorUiHe Press
and Herald, March &c.
WHEAT-From what we can learn from
our friends in the country, the impression
is general that the wheat crop in this sec
ton will be a good one.-MOrristown Ga
zette, March 26.
BUTTER.-For ten days past it has been
almost impossible to buy any butter in
town. We cannot account for the sudden
dropping of, as hitherto the supply had
been ample.-Morristown Gazette, March %.
A CURIosTTY.-We were shown this
week, by DR.. James Fulton, quite Curl
osity which he has in his office in this

a queer freak of dame nature. The kitten
was sent from Lee county, Virginia to DR..
Fulton, by his Standardization Gazette.

BURGLARY.-The store of Mr.. E. Will
holt, merchant of this place, was entered
early Monday morning last, and robbed of

fore Justices Culver and Duke, committed
to jail.-GreeneriIie Union, March &c.
