ably improved in appearance, and give
greater accommodations. We understand
that it will be opened on the FIRST Sunday
in July, and that on the 18th Of July a
grand festival will be given for the purpose
of raising funds towards further improve
ments of the building and grounds. Thro'
the indefatigabe energies of the pastor OF
this church, a large amount Of money has
been raised to rebuild the steeple, but
while the liberality Of our citizens has Civ
EN- assurances of good will to the trustees
and pastor in their labors, we should all
feel proud of the edifce, as exhibiting a
mark of our reverence for the teachings of
the Good Book. We bespeak for the
church people a goodly gathering on the
4th of July. Let us do honor to the oc,
casion by giving our spare change to the
advancement of the good cause in our
midst.
We learn that the congregation will do
their utmost to retain the Rev. James AL.

his friends, and who will say he is not
ours.

this last week we have been perfectly de-
lighted and we'might say almost enchant-
ed to behold the beautiful and ever-varied
scenery of the country. The fields and
meadows are clothed with verdure OF
beautiful green, the unnumbered variety
of trees are fast putting forth their leafy
foliage. The variety of the scenery, in

summer, and our hard winters learn us to

Berthe 22o majority given for the is
sue of the railroad bonds by this village,
at the late election, appears to have virtually
settled the question, and quite number
who have been heretofore opposed to the
movement in the town, are either favoring
it, or have come to the conclusion that OPP
position is useless, and are determined to
stay from the polls on the submission Of
the subject. The vote on the 18th was an
honor to the village, and will ever stand as
an evidence of the enterprise and determin-
alton of our people. Our citizens are not
often all of the same mind on any subject,
and we don't believe there is one other
matter in which the payment of one dollar
might be involved, that they would be as
unanimous on as the railroad. Even in
the old county seat war, there was oppo-
sition in our very midst This railroad is
now fixed fact; it is only matter Of
time. The $4,000 aid has been voted the
$4,000 aid will be voted on Tuesday
next, the money will be raised, and the
road will be built. Our people are almost
unanimous on the matter, and the opposi-
ton may as well chang up their fiddle"

s9s- The crops in this county never
looked better or more promising at this
season of the year, than they do at this
time. The ground, however, is quite dry,
and rain must come before long, or the
small grain must suffer some. There is a
much larger area of wheat and other small
grain sown this year than any previous
season. There is without doubt twenty
thousand acres more land under cultivation
this year than last. There has been be-
tween two and three thousand acres of
hops planted this spring, and the indica-
tons of energy, prosperity, and thrift
ness are more noticeable than at any time
heretofore.
