At no season in the year is this place more
beautiful or pleasant than now. The gentle
wavi,ig of tree-tops by the soft summers

ihe recent showers have been very adyan-
tageous to the wheat and corn, and, I think,
have cheered up the farmers to a great de-
gree. Still there can be no very great yield
OF wheat, as 1t was too far gone when the
rain came. The supply Of straw win be
very slim, as the spears are not more than
twenty-five or twcniy-siN inches in height.

CovEsvlLLE, May 80, 1872.
Among your various letters, I find nothing
mailing from Covesyille, AlbemarIe, where
during the past week meeting of much in
terest has been held by the Presbyterian de-
nomination.
They have neat, comfortable church, very
near the depot, and for their pastor the Rev.
Mr.. Wales, whose gentle yet firm discharge
Of duty has won the unbounded confidence,
and sincere affection Of his people, binding
him to them ny n golden link Of love. ~ 4.
lie was assisted in this series OF meetings
by the Rev: DIr. Hill, of Greenwood, whose
sermons, chosen with rare appropriateness
to- the OCCASION, teemed with beautiful
thoughts and earnest feeling.
The farmers in this REGION s the best Of
farmers will do, are INDUCING to some extent
in''long faces" and ugly frowns because of
the cool, dry weather but to lis the neatly
cultivated fields within their enclosures Of
grand old hills, resting rs now, meath the
r~ss Of the setting sun, presents q charm too
bright for frowns. PETETE.
