, The glorious rains ofthe past few days
have had an effect no less invigorating
upon the corn and potatoes than upon
the spirits of their planters, Indeed,
| never observed more cheerfulness or
less grumbling among the farmers for
the tillers of the soil, strangely enough,
are VIGOROUSLY given to grumbling) than
is manifested just AT this time. The
crisis of the season has been reached, and
the promises for what remain to be har-
vested and gathered are very fair. d.
A burglary of some pretensions for
boldness and adroitness of execution
TRANSFERRED in this village on Friday night
last. The thief entered the dwelling
house ofMr. Caleb Gretzinger through an
open window, and proceeded through the
kitchen to the bed chamber Of Mr.. r.,
took from the pockets ofthe sleeping man 5
pants pocketbook containing Sl25, and
escaped undetected. Mr.. Gretzinger
had borrowed the money the day before
to meet an obligation.
Elder Carroll Client preached his fare
well sermon to the Disciples congrega-
tion of this place on Sunday. He leaves

is left an opening for some preacher oil

The hopping cough still prevails among
the unseasoned youth Of this vlclnage,
though it is exhausting its material. A
Young child of Mr.. Lewis Crawford died

A singular intrusion occurred, on Sat
urday night last, into the house OF IL:
Sproule, Esq. The latter. with part OF
his family being absent, son Of the
Squire. Il youth Of nearly mans estate,
was awakened, some time lin the dead
waste and middle of the night" by the
noise, made by some one entering his room.
Terrified with the fresh recollections of
the fresh burglary at GretzingerS, the
Young man fcigned profound sleep, but
with one eye open he plainly SAW laS he
avcrs), some one Of evil intent, enter the
room and coolly proceed TO an examlna-
ton of the children : clothes, and then to
runsncking the pockets of his own and
his fathers pants. Finding nothing OF
value the thief, IN iaccpt", retired, and the
frightened young man breathed again rs
nearly natural rs system OF unStrung
nerves would permit.
Hancock county will endeayor to be

The Woodruff Tilton Beecher Ply

THAT CROP OF WHEAT IN PLYMor1TH
We published some weeks since that
y. 5. Brown of Plymouth had raised
ss1teen bushels of winter wheat from two
acres of land, which must have had a
discouraging look to farmers in Vermont
IN trying to raise that kind Of crop, but
which is very different when correctly
stated. The facts are that in August.
1872 Mr.. Brown turned over two acres
of sward land, applied 20 loads of ma
nure to the acre, narrowed it in, sowed
the wheat on the 9th day of August,
and the result was harvest of sirtu f,po
bushels of perfect and handsome wheat.
