crop this season. In some loca-
tions it has been drowned to a con
siderable extent by the protracted
rains, but the injury from cold
weather is not near as serious as
anticipated. The late warm weather
has served to make many a field
look green, which during the latter
part Of the winter seemed ruined" "
The Chillieothe Gazette of the
3lst ult. says; "The Scioto was
higher last week at this point than
it has been for many years, if not at
any previous time. About two
hundred yards of the Columbus
pike, just at its junction with the
Marietta road, a short distance
north ofthe bridge, has been washed
away, to the depth, in some places,
of fifteen to twenty feet. 1t will
cost some hundreds of dollars to
repair the damages. The Marietta
road is but slightly injured"
The jackson Standard Of Thurs
day says; 1--WE have examined
the fruit buds in our own orchard,
and find them all safe so far, The
buds on the peach and pear trees
are quite large, and a week of warm
weather will cause them to blossom
out, The buds on the grape vines,
cherry and apple trees, are yet
small" r
The editor Of the Lancaster Ga
zette talks sensibly when he says
In our opinion the man or wo-
man who does not take pleasure in
the occupation of gardening on
some scale or other isn't got up on
correct principles" t r.a
The Circleville Union of Friday
last says: "The damage done to
the canal between this place and
Columbus by the late high water
is not so extensive as at first sup
posed. 1t is expected that all ne
cessary repairs can be made this
week, and that boats will run as
usual between the two places on
Monday next. Between this place
and ChiIicothe, however, the dam
ages are much more serious. 1t is
estimator by Mr.. Mead, the Super
intendent, that it will cost $l5, 900
to make this part Of the canal as
good as it was before the rise ia the
river. The most serious Of these
damages is in the two-mlle level
near this city. 1t will probably
take all Of two weeks to repair
these, so that navigation will not
be resumed within that time"

The same paper says; "The members
of the M y, Church have purchased a
new Pipe Organ, for which they paid six
hundred dollars. It is said TO be the
finest church organ in Lebanon" '"'
The Hamilton Telegraph of Thursday
last says that "Hon l.. D. Campbell re.
eeived, on Tuesday, subpoena to appear
as witness in the pending impeachment
trial Of the President II is not known
on which side he is summoned"
The GAINESVILLE Courier q Gazette Of Fri.
day saysi "On Thursday last man
named Baum, who had been soldier,
residing at Adams Mills, this county,
came to this city to get 800 back bounty,
which Mr. D. Hull, claim agent had col
leoted for him He concluded, however,
to take only $50 and let the balance re-
main in Mr., Hull's hands, During the

himself in rather merry mood He

which his companions of course noticed,
On the way coming back one Of the fel.

mouth, others seized his hands and held
him, while another rifled his pockets of
something over thirty dollars in cash,
when they let him 60 and made good their
escape. No clue has been obtained Of the
scoundrels, and Mr. Baum may safely CON
clude hls money is gone, and put down
the cost to experience. 1t was fortunate
that he did not take up all his money, or
he would have been $50 more out of
pocket.
