that rel..es to the beautiful art OF Photosra-
ply. He is close student, and works out
theories into successful practice. We took
advantage Of the charming, soft spring
weather one day last week 20 have pictures
taken of our group, from the small toddler
up, and give Mr. Wiseman the credit by
Saying that he has given US perfect and
beautiful copies of the handsome" originals.
We don't think better could be done by any
one. For the benefit Of our numerous read
ers we suggest, that no finer season than
the presen; can be found in the year round
for sitting. And for children particularly
90 we recommend the present season with
is soft, delicious temperature.
\ NEW POWER.-The times must be in
decd sadly oIt OF joint, when such things
happen Us the following. A gentleman from
the upper edge of the County says, that q
colored man was seen hitched to plow, and
his wife driving him up and down the fur
rows, sometime during the past week. The
old fellow it is said obeyed the gee and haw'
in first rate style, but would kick in the
traces occasionally, as the better half touched
him up to make him get up and git over the
ground in the lively style she desired. His
kicking amounted to little, however, as the
old black mare was tie better horse, and had
the upper hand, as well as the heaviest, and
the long hickory switch beside. It appears
that the old couple owned mule which un-
fortunately died from green old age and want
of fodder, and the woman having little faith
in the old promise of forty acres and 4 mule
being realized this crop year, let out her pow
ers Of persuasion on the old man, and in
duced him to assume for the time the place
of the dcfunct animal. This is IN DER true
tale, we are tod.
The GUILFoRD NURSERIES, n. Give
had the pleasure of visit from Mr. J. II.
White, travelling agent for these popular
Nurseries, few days ago, and also of ex-
amining handsomely illustrated book of
grown there. The Nurseries above named
have been established about eight years, and
have in that time, from successful manage
ment, and thorough knowledge Of their
business on the part Of the proprictors, grown
to great extent and popularity. The speci-
mems exhibited by Mr.. White are delight
fully pleasant to the eye, and suggestive of
no less delightful feastS. Too little care and
attention is paid TO fruit growing, and why it
is so we cannot imagine. Nature is prodigal
in gifts and i. needs but little care and cx'
pensc on our part to reap largely of her
benefccncc. Every foot of spare ground
should be occupied by something good, and
the man who pays attention to his nursery,
however limited it may necessarily be, is o
wise man, q good husband, father and neigh
bor Mr.. White will canvass this County,
and VIC take pleasure in recommending him
tc. all whom he calls upon, and in stating
tha: the specimens exhibited by him are
what he represents them TO be-.
Hurt TO BUSINESS AND CRoPs.-The in.
jury done to business Of all kinds, and to
farming interests in the upper counties
which are feeling the iron hand under the
enforcement act, is beyond description. In
tliS county there is scarcely an! thing DO.
Ing in the town, business is almost dead,
with but little hope Of recovery, while en-
the farm, in a majority Of cases, there is
little or nothing doing, and the future p: os-
pcct is indeed gloomy. Aud wl;le it is 50
SO with us here in Newbcrry, the situation
is much worse at Laurcn.. \ gentleman
from there on Thursday last says that DUR
ing the whole Of one afternoon lie saw but
three persons out shopping, one lady and
two little girls, and not 4 living soul in
from the country. So fearful are some
men Of being arrested and imprisoned,
however innocent they may bc-so wide
spread is the fear or that
in some instances it is said farmers plow
their fields with saddled horses, ready
to fee on tie approach of an office; Of the
government. The times could scarcely be
worse.
The Ladies are out in their pretty spring
suitS-we have MT seen the Dolly Warden,
yet, but We have much that we admire more.
The hats are more becoming than those of
last season, we think, while in the appoint
ment Of flowers and all the charming little
ethcriallzatonS, there is sparkling, piQuant
freshness. The styles of dress are modest
and becoming, and toilets arc taStily made.
The ladies are q law TO themselves in the
Individual pointing so to speak, Of their
ixings; and this is right, for therein lies
the subtle secret of their imperial triumph
over each other; (sotto vocc) as the ladies
simply dress to-please the gentlemen. This
has been said before, and is now endorsed by
young friend Of ours, by the way very pop

machines and scollopS, frills and hOuuccs,
foreign and domestic modern antiquities,

in demurrer, however, and says we must
print it gently, TO correct an error about the
ladies dressing to please the gentlemen. We
do so, reluctantly, and only because he is
very popular with the ladies. We cannot

The weather last Sunday was clear and
bright, yet opprcssivcly warm. The air was
irei.hted with the perfume OF the wild locust
