ZION ITEMS.

Religious.-Rev. Thos. L. Poulson, form
erly of North East, has been appointed
pastor of the M. Z. Church, at this place,
and although comparatively stranger to
the community, the prospect of his advent
among us seems to be source of general
delight. Services have been appointed at
10 o'clock A. NJ, on Sunday. If the enter
prising(?) citizens of North East intend
following their late minister by way of
proving their regard for his faithful stew
srdship, we would suggest that they lend
helping hand in helping him into his new
quarters, or the following will not be up
hill work.
Tile WeatAer.-This usually provoking
sovereign has made his rule positively
charming for the last fortnight. The deli
cate crocuses and daffodils, startling the
usually clustering March with their pres
ence, are beginning forcibly to tell of
spring tide past, and yet we fear return
of frost that would blight the opening
beauties of the year.
Hecreasing.-Mr Vanarsdale has added
quite number of large hot-b beds to his col
lection of small fruit, and will doubtless be
prepared to furnish the neighborhood with
plants of as fine quality as are to be had
elsewhere.
Nocing Day.-Saturday, March 25th, is
the anniversary of that ime-honored insti-
tuition known as Moving Day." but con-
trary to the general rule, few changes are
taking place in Zion. Mr. Barclay Brown,
having rented a part of the house occupied
by DR.. Britton, as his Office, intends taking
possession at his earliest convenience. So
now we can also record sewing machine
agent in town.
Enterprising.-Mr. John Carhart has
commenced the trial of making fertilizer,
equal in value to those now offered for sale
throughout the country at such exhorbitant
prices.
Bay Vieo.-The opening of Spring fish
cries has taken quite number of the
inhabitants away from their homes in and
around the village. "Mine host ON the
hill," l presume, still receives numerous
visits from we Puritans, in going to and
from North East (?); Or so, at least, your

The Earliest Spring for FOrty.Six

The Earliest Spring FOR FOrty.Six
Years.-The following note would seem to
fix the present spring as the most advanced
of any previous vernal season for 46 years.
Mr.. Egan, the writer, is well known to
many of our citizens. His father watched,
we doubt not with anxious hope to find
the datfodil blooming again in the open
ground, on the registering old Saints day,
but it would seem for the 40 years he lived
after the birth of his son, J. c., whom he
presented with the first offerings of spring,
that his eyes were never again blessed with
a similar sight on St. Patrick's day. After
the fathers death it would seem that the
son kept up the search for the flower which
decked his baby couch on ''St Patrick S
Day in the morning." and after the lapse
of six years more, the doffadil again ap-
pears to grace the day of his patron Saint
Buds and flowers when left to nature,
undisturbed by the by the forcing process
employed by man, are the best indicators
of the changing seasons, and by the above
test it would seem that the present spring
is the earliest since 1926. Nature repeats
itself after relapse of nearly half q century:
