The weather for the last week has been
particularly balmy and spring like, and
our citizens, to large extent, have taken
advantage of it to dig garden and get
seeds in the ground. The prospects are
that the time of seedtime is really upon
US, though we are not without our weather
prophets, who yet prognosticate SHOWS
and frosts without end. Sunday last
was very fine day, and numbers of our
citizens, in addition to the services in the
sanctuary, exhibited an outside apprecia-
ton of the kindness of the Giyer of all
good gifts, by promenading in family and
friendly groups, and inhaling the pure
and bracing out door air.

Democratic editors are proverbially
slow to learn the truth. Gen. Cameron
some six or seven weeks ago, moved, in
the Senate, the appointment of a com.
mittee to investigate charge of defalca
tion against Secretary Forney, to the
amount of $4,000. The matter was
promptly referred for investigation. Last
week our neighbor had just learned the
charge, and as big hit could be made
at an earnest worker in the cause of the
loyal masses, it was published, and For
ney's reputation maligned before the
readers of the " Monroe Democrat" The
investigation, which resulted in the com
plete refutation of the charge against
Secretary Forney, was concluded, and
the result made known, at least four
weeks ago, but it was not convenient for
our neighbor to have learned that fact.
