The Frost in the south.

day thus tells the story of the disastrous
effects of the cold spring weather in that
locality:
"a very heavy frost whitened the ground
in this city and section yesterday morning,
and from all that we can learn very con-
siderable injury has been the result. In
some portions of the city the young plants
are badly blIghted, many of them being en-
tIrely destroyed, while in others there is no
perceptible injury. On the truck farms
in this vicinity, as a general thing, the Gu
cumbers, squashes and beans are cut down,
while the pea vines have been very mate
rally damaged. Mr.. George z. French,
of Excelsior, thinks that he has been in
jured to the extent of fully $4,000. He
had begun shipping peas last week, but this
frost will put him back now fully week.
"From all along the line of the w. and
W., the w. @. and R., and W. @. and
A. railroads we hear doleful accounts. The
more tender of the plants are ruined. The
cotton and corn are cut down to the ground,
and serious fears are entertained that the
peach crop has been destroyed, but this

"We doubt if the memory of the oldest

time last year the truckers were doing a

SEVENTH STREET RISTIAN
CHURCH.-By invitation we to-day in.
spected the interior work of the Seventh.
street Christian church, which has Just
been completed. Alphabetically the
church is known to our citizens as one of
the handsomest buildings in the CITY, and
the basement apartments, which have
been in use for several months, have been
found to be comfortable and complete in all
their arrangements.
The main audience room is plainly but
very handsomely and neatly furnished. The
aisles are covered with elegant carpeting
and the benches luxuriantly cushioned.
These were furnished and the cushions
made by the ladies' sewing society, assist
ed by Messrs. G.. B. Stacy & Son and
George w. Anderson & Son, at saving of
several hundred dollars to the congrega-
ton. The handsome chairs for the pulpit
were purchased entirely through the efforts
of the young ladies' sewing society, COM
posed of girls under fourteen years of age.
The Bible for the pulpit was the gift of the
sunday-school class taught by @. W. Mac
farlane. and the clock was presented by
Messrs. j. Fl. Tyler & Co.
The dedicatory services will take place
at IL O'Clock next Sunday, May 4th, and
will be conducted by the pastor, Rev. j. z.
Tyler, assisted by his brother, Rev. B. B.
Tyler, of Frankfort, Ky. There will also be
preaching at 8 p. m. by the latter gentle
man. The regular Sabbath services in the
church will be held at the hours named.
The pews are free to the public.

logical Society.
The King George agricultural and pomo.
logical club met at "Shelburn," the resi-
dsnce of DIR. John P. Robb, on Thurs.
day, April %, 1873, DR.. R. HI. Stuart,
president, presiding.
Messrs. VIM. Jenkins and Alexander
Pratt were elected members of the club.
The committee on immigration asked
leave through their chairman, Colonel Ed.
Tayloe, to report at the next meeting,
which was granted, and, on motion of DR..
Robb, the president was added to the
committee.
Subject for discussion beng next in
order, "How to increase the value of our
farms, improve them, and make them more
profitable" was introduced by Colonel
iTayloe, who stated that the auxiliaries to-
ward Improvement were dependent in a
great measure on immigration, improved
agriculture, corporation, railroads. and
good common roads through the country.
Major Rogers read an essay on the sub
ject, in which he stated that the time had
come when we must adopt the old adage,
/" Divide ct emperd." Make them more
inviting, cultivate less surface, and do it
better, encourage immigration and rail-
roads, then we will not care whether mo-
ney is six or twelve per cent; then we
will be better able to meet our school and
other taxes with more composure and less
cause to growl.
Messrs. Smith, Robb, Dickinson, and
Arnold joined in the discussion and ad-
vanced cogent reasons why we should
wake up" the agricultural interest in our
section, which God has blessed with so
many advantages.
The labor question was then discussed
by several members.
/ Subject for discussion at the next meet
ing, "The best application of manures."

The st rike of Cotton and Wool
Operatives.
PROVIDENCE, May 2.-The threatened
strike of the cotton and wool operatives
for ten hours is partially successful. There
was some hooting at those who remained
at work, but no violence was offered. The
larger mill owners have adopted no con-
certed plan of action. The wooden manu-
facturers would like general suspension of
work. 1t is probable the cotton mills will
shut down temporarily, if there is trouble
in getting help to run on the present basis.
The difficulty is not generally regarded as
serious by the manufacturers.

WASHINGTON, May 2.--The public

In reply to an inquiry from the collector
of the twenty-fourth district of Pennsyl-
vania, in relation to renewing tobacco ped
lcrs' bonds yearly, the commissioner of
internal revenue states "While tobacco
pedler makes no change in his
business, and his bond already given is
deemed good and sufficient, he need not be
required to give new bond.'
Secretary Richardson has perfected his
modification of the civil service rules,
which he proposes to submit to the civil
service commission when it meets. One of
his proposed changes is to abolish compe-
titive examinations for the counters of
greenbacks and coupons. These offices
are held by ladies', and the widows and
daughters of soldiers and other meritorious
applicants for these places are excluded as
general thing by others less worthy,
who obtain the situations under the civil
service rules, although no more competent
to fill them.
Postmaster General Creswell states that |
he was well pleased with his trip through |
the south. He noticed large amount of |
lands which have never been cultivated, and |
is of the opinion that the productive in
dustry of the south could be increased ten
fold. Mr.. Creswell and his party |
found that among the people of the
south there was general will
ingness to converse upon the recent strug-
gle between the north and the south, and |
in spirit void of vindictiveness. Nor
thern capitalists are located in some Sec
tons, and Mr.. Creswel believes that more
enterprise from this source would exist |
but for the feeling of social ostracism after |
the war. This feeling of hostility, how
ever, he believes to be fast dying out.
