WARRENToN, April %, 1873.
All the countrysAs we pass through
it, begins to look fresh and handsome
wheat and pastures ale growing on luxuri-
antly with fair promise; and the forests
are putting on their new wardrobesj the
broad petals Of lockwood blossoms, the
glowing red-bud, which is not red at all,
but bright purple; the white shad blow
or june berry and wild cherry and plum
blooms, all glitter through the leafess for
est and eyergreens, all mingled so as, in
places, almost to give broad sheet Of
rainbow hues and on the ground beneath
the bright little anemones, crocuses, prim-
roses, with other wild flowers, RAISE their
pretty faces, peeping up modestly asking
for the sunshine; the peach and cherry
blooms begin to fall, and the glorious APP
pie blossoms are springing forth and all
nature is putting on its gay and gorgeous
attire, though the cold north wind with
misty snow and rain rather puts damper
on the romantic scene and sentiment to-day.
There are evidences of improvements all
along the Railroad, in town and country;
and it would be good policy for Railroads
to be liberal in carrying lime, plaster and
other fertilizers at very low prices, even
free, as they would soon be we'll paid in
freights on the increased amounts of pro-
ducts which the farmers would be able to
raise and send forward on the railroa ads;
give them fertilizers cheaply as possible
Fauquier is, for the most part, fine
country of good lands and handsome farms;
and all the way ON the branch road, to
Warrenton, the country is a handsome one,
presenting charming landscapes, near and
distant-of mountain ard valley.
The approach to Warrenton, the county
seat, is very fine, and this old aristocratic
city is well built, pleasantly located, and
contains many elegant residences and gar
dens, with schools and churches.
A fair club of THE STATE JOURNAL
are taken here, and the postmaster is max
ing efforts to further circulate that paper,
which with its liberal, live principles is not
more needed anywhere, than among the
people here and largely increased num-
Der of active, enterprisipg emigrants are
needed and wanted here; and, as in most
other counties of this state, there is plenty
of good property to be sold at low figures
awaiting purchasers.
There is murder trial progressing in
the court house here ; Fred Glascock, last
winter, killed young Vauhorn, or is charged
with doing it. Judge James Keith presid.
ing i; and N. Fletcher Clerk. John Scott
commemorative attorney assisted by Alex
Paine. Defence, conducted by General
Paine, Scott, and Brooke, Esqrs.
The quarrel and killing arose all about
the wife of young married couple, where
the young wife happened to be too smart
for the custom and credit of such relation,
and presented an addition to the family
in an unusually short time which lead
to certain remarks, that caused the
calamity of murder.
While woman is the fount and front Of
our best blessings, she is also generally
at the bottom ofmost OF human caamites
but in all cases some man or men are
equally or most to be blamed, as the NOV.
ing agent.
In looking about here am happy to &C.
knowledge assistance and pleasant atten.
tentions from VIM. A. Matte ESQ. ant
family. The drive from here, some sever
miles, to Fauquler Yellow Sulphur Springs
is very pleasant one over good roads.
In the Court House over the Judges
bench, is very fine likeness, full length
size Of old Chief Justice John Marshall
who was once resident of this county
where many Of his progeny now live.
The Warren Green Hotel" at this
place, will always be found pleasan
and comfortable resort for both fami
lies and individuals during summel
or winter, where fresh and healthy fare
can be had, with access to the Sulphur
Springs. d. S. O.
