MORE MURDER.

MOhE
Isaac Warner and Reuben Letton, near this
place, had near all their sheep killed last
week by dogs. Unless thes. worthless
CANNES can be exterminated it seems useless
for our farmers to attempt any longer to
raise sheep.
FRUIT PROSPECTS.
The peaches Ill this region are not killed
yet; prospects fine for ! bountiful crop.
WHEAT CROP.
The farmers seem to he as yet undecided
about the wheat crop; it appears to b. much
damaged by the cold, dry winter but 1t is rath-
er soon to know to 4 certainty its conditiOn;we
hope however their fears are groundless,a and
that they will be rewarded with a rich and
bountiful harvest, for by the farmer We all
''live and have our being"
EARLY SPRING.
An "early caster and an early spring. has
long been an adage Of weather prospects:
our farmers are anticipatin. an early spring,
and have all things in readiness TO turn up
the soil as soon as il tl,aws out.
DAMP AND MUDDY
Its an evil wind that blows no good Our
farmers have taken advantage of the weather
the past week to. deliver their tobacco
crops. it having been damp, muddy and dis.
agreeable generally; heretofore they have
had to delay handling it for want of weather
to bring it '.in CASE many wa:Sons art
