Mound City, May Q, 1870.
Spring weather, mild and genial, has at
last opened up. The fruit trees are In
bloom, and the warm showers we have had
lately has started a iuxuriant vegetation.
II has been ascertained that the snow
storm that prevailed In this section, few
weeks since, has not materially injured the
fruit. A small portion Of the germs were
killed, but the crop yet promises TO be
abundant. Early Spring vegetables have
already made their appearance in market.
We are looking for strawberries next
week. During the past week q large area
of land has been broken for corn and oats,
and our farmers are hopeful of bountiful
harvest
Circuit Court draws near; delinquent
debtors tremblc in their shoes. All the
lawyers are busy, like the NJ. Ids. in view
of an approaching epidemic-,hcy antici-
pate a rich harvest. Several inmates Of
our jail will likely receive free tickets to
Joliet. A Dutchman, from the country,
tried to persuade Lutz's big dog to accom-
pany him home. Dog objected. Hans,
with a rope around dogs neck, insisted.
Then occurred collision and much excite
ment. Hans struck the ground first. Hans
goes around with his arm In q sling, look
ing for hydrophobia. Dog don't 60 around
any more. fgffL
