It has lust been ascertained here

tanned divorce in New Haven at the
last October term Of the Superior Court,
before Judge Phelps. On Saturday
last, A. D. Osborne, Clerk Of the Caurs
for that county, received letter from
George P. Fisher, the District Attorney
Of the District Of Columbia, asking il
Christopher c. Bowen had not obtained
divorce in New Haven. Upon ex-
aiming the records il was found that q .
decree was granted Bowen on the 22d
of November of last, divorciDg him from
Francis Bowen, Of Augusta, Ga. The
petition vas dated September Z, 1879,

NEXT YEARS MEAT IN THE PEN

Said substantial, we'll doing farmer
to US the other day: "My hogs for
next winters killing are now in the pen
We cannot depend upon allowing our
meat hogs to run out. When empty
my pens for the smoke house, 1 put in
at once for the next year. l keep my
pens we'll Uttered, and I believe that
the manure taken from those pens and
applied to the soil will make as much
corn as my hogs consume between wha!
is known as the fatteniug season."
Here was fact, thought We, and m
idea, worth knowing and acting upon
generally in this county. The country
is now actually suffering for the want
of bacon, with little or no money to buy
it, and yet the means of home supply
and independence in this respect are
within the grasp Of every farmer. The
gentlemen. alluded 70 always raised
his bacon, and bad enough offs.

SUPPLY AND CONSUMPTION OF
COTTON.

The Savannah Morning Neus, Of
March 3, contains an able article on
this interesting subject, from the pen
of Mr.. j. N. CARpozo, whose articles
on subjects pertaining to political
economy, finance and international poll
tics, have through many years been
recognized as among ths ab'ess con-
tributions to the Southern press. Our
own humble columns have given forth
the scintillations Of his genius, aad We
hope soon to be permitted TO greet other
original Communications from him.
Should our space permit, we will gladly
give place to the article 10 question,
which the author has kindly pu; in our
possession.

HACKING SHADE TREES.

We regard this as nothing short Of
barbarity. The individual who could
deliberately hack and mutilate, aud scar
and wound the lovely oaks Of our town,
has no soul to appreciate the sentiment
or music of "W goldman spare that tree, "
and to render it to the ears Of such
would be like "easting pearl before
sgine." We are glad to see that our
"City Fathers" watchful of the beauty
and comfort os the town, have put forth
their pronucidmento on the subject
Let the penalties thereof be swiftly
visited upon all offenders in this direct
ion.

SALES DAY.

Monday last (salcs-day) the crowd in
town was comparatively small; but we
heard more about hard times and the
scarcity of money than have greeted
cur ears before for some time. II
seemed to be almost the universal cry
and We could but feel deep sympathy
with the people. Applications for
"advances" were never more numerous
since the war, our merchants tell US,
with less ability to meet the demand
Surely our people should take heed to
their course, from the present ex-
perience.

THE COMING SPRING.

For some days, or weeks past, we
have had charming premonitious of the
coming lovely spring time. The balmy
breath of Heaven, warmed into softer
and sweeter zcphyrs by the glorious
sun. The gentle springing grass
peepiug from meath the dead garniture
of the fields, (promising again the
ezpanse Of emerald Meadow and
fringing the side walks. The feathered
warbler, as he greets the morning light
with his inimitable song. The burst
ing buds, and the N Oldest peach and
plumb blossom, scentipg the air, with
their perfume OF promised fruit. The
gentle showers, and the milder voice of
gloves dread thunders." All these
now tell that nature is preparing to
merge from her seclusion, and come
forth again, clothed in her gorgeous
robes, to adorn the earth, and gladden.
the heart of man-like a bride arrayed
for her lord. And should not mans
emotions move with responsive impulse?
Should he not look into natures smiling
face, aed there see reflected the benef-
cent smiles of Natures God? And
directing bis glance upward to the
"bespangled heavens" discover pictured
there the wonderful majesty and per-
fectiou, glory and power, love and mer.
cy of the Creator?
Let not man, then, bow his head with
fear and dread but, conscious Of his
integrity, cf the image in which he vas
created, and of his immortality, of his
intellectual powers, Of his high and
noble calling, and of the experimenting
love and care of the Great Father above,
move on to life's labors and struggles
and disappointments, with energy and
With manly courag,, aud with hope and
faith. AS the spring time surely comes
to smile upon the earth, and drive away
the sombre garb and chilling blasts Of
winter-as sunshine succeeds cloud, so
may mar's heart ever aud anon merge
from gloom and sadness and come again
into the blessed experience Of JOY and
gladness.
