LETTER FROM BRISTOL.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH: Since my last letter
the weather has been mild and spring-like.
though good deal cloudy. The snow has
nearly disappeared, and the roads in many
places are dry, and wheeling generally good.
Farmers are beginning to prepare for spring
work, and are securing the necessary hired
help. Laborers are asking from $40 to $22
per month, out few are inclined to pay such
prices being rather disposed to work short
handed till harvest, and take the chances of
securing help then. The season of fishing

about 400 pounds, the heaviest weighing
about Is pounds. The quiet of our village
WAS shocked few days since, by 'bit of q
SPREE" in which Mrs. Fee of the north ward
laid the poker successfully over the head of
her late boarder Mr.. Brogan, giving him
severe cuts, and only ceased her exhibition of
brutality, when other parties interfered, q
little lao with fine and cost settled the mat

The same evening the wounded man with
a couple of others went to the house of Pat
Barrett. and attempted to take away a wagon,
on which he had claim, being caught they
beat q retreat, till arrested by the officer OF
the law. How the matter will terminate /
cannot tell. Mrs. Lang of jefferson gave a
lecture at Asbury and Hosmer chapels in be-
half of the church at her home, that is in debt
and mortgaged, the parties holding the same
contemplating foreclosure, and converting
the church into saloon. The lecture
gave entire satisfaction, and carried
away $1,000 as the result of her
efforts. It seems Mr.. Fl. H. Tar5ell OF
your city denies that thea gricultural Society
of this Co. is bankrupt, find the definition
of bankrupt to be, one who is "unable tC

treasurer of said society informs me, that

farbell speaks OF is a donation from theStste
for 1879. The buildings he calls worth $500,
