Juvenile Entertainment.

The Entertainment given at Music
Hall last Friday evening by the Chill
drens Temperance Society, was
quite a success. The exercises con-
sisted of Tableaux, Dialogues, and
Declarations, alternating with Mu-
sic. The children did exceedingly
well, and came forward with wonder
full composure for beginners.
Miss Nettie Weatherby presided
at the organ, and deserves special
credit for her assistance.
The Band Boys will be long re-
membered for their kindness in fur
nishing excellent music at intervals
during the evening.
The Entertainment closed with a
Spelling Match, Lock Nelson choos-
ing one side, and Jessie Doggett the
other; Miss Tillie Rhoads pronounc-
ing the words. The children deserve
praise for their good spelling; but
were compelled to adjourn before
finishing, on account of the lateness
of the hour.
The Ladies having charge of this
Society, have the best wishes of all
friends Of Temperance, for success
in their work. You are laboring
zealously in noble cause, to pro-
mote the best interests of the youth
by breaking up those haunts of evil
which decoy them to ruin, and sur
rounding them with elevating infu-
ences. Do your work faithfully.
With sails full spread, push bravely
out into the deep ocean of Temper
ance, and God will be with you.

PricetOWn,

All the early varieties of fruit killed;
not much prospect of any kind. A
good many potatoes frozen that
were taken out and left exposed, and
some that were planted and not Gov
cred deep. The young clover that
was just coming up is thought to be
be all killed.
Wheat is almost an entire failure.
All this is enough to discourage
farmers, but instead thereof they are
apparently doubling their energies,
enlarging their orchards, and prepar-
ing a large area for corn and pota-
toes.
Health is improving.
Our election passed off quietly.

this summer I hope, with a nice Hall

Old winter has at last taken his
departure, and we are enjoying the
beautiful Spring days, which will
bring Joy and gladness to many poor
hearts. While some have been
blessed with comfortable homes and
the necessaries and luxuries of life,
there are others who have outweath-
cred the gale of this severe winter
in very destitute circumstances. To
them especially the approach OF
Spring will be source of great joy.

Condition of the Wheat
Crop.

The Cincinnati Gazette of last
Friday says:
The condition of the winter wheat
in the West is subject of much in
terest to many persons, and we have
taken pains to obtain information
from persons who have had oppor-
tunities for investigation, and from
our exchanges. The result is, so far
as our information goes, that there
has been considerable damage by
winter killing as it is called, but
which might more properly be term
ed spring killing, it being the result
of successive freezing and thawing,
which breaks the roots of the plants,
and throws them out of the ground.
The belt that has suffered most is
that of Southern Ohio and Indiana,
and Central Illinois and Northern
Missouri. The extent of the damage
is estimated at one-fourth to three
quarters of the amount of wheat sown,
but it is quite probable that this is
an exaggeration. In Southern Hi
nois and Missouri the damage is
light, while in Kansas, Central and
Northern Indiana, in Michigan and
Wisconsin, there is little complaint,
and full average crop may be ex-
pected in those sections of the coun
try. In the Miami Valley the injury
is greater than in any other portion
of the State of Ohio, from what we
have heard, and those persons most
capable of judging think there will
not be over half a crop. 1t should
be considered, however, that the
wheat is at its worst now, and it may
improve as the season advances.
The crop of fall barley in the Miami
Valley will be very small, as it is
nearly all winter killed.

acter. He travels about on a camel,
lives in the jungle with the natives,
seldom sees any of his own people,
altho' he is a cultivated gentleman.
He came here yesterday and
brought with him two native boys,
one of whom he had baptized the
day before, the other some time ago.
The first mentioned had been want
ing to be baptized for long time,
but his father being high-caste
Brahmin, had taken him away to
many different places, to try to wash
away his sins. He tried every way
to persuade his son to give up the
idea, but to no purpose, so he came
to Mr.. Bateman and was baptized
day before yesterday. He is about
IA years of age, ] should think, very
bright and happy, although he has
been cast out by all his friends.
This Mr.. Bateman intends send
ing him to school. He is bachelor,
and says he can educate 16 boys for
what it would take to keep one wife.
A noble sacrifice on his part, is it
not? @

classes of people 1 have met here.

row of every description, and such
ignorance of anything religious.

The Late Freeze - Effects
on the Fruit.
H1LLsBoRo, April 10, 1875.


Mr.. EDIToR:-The severe and long-continued
cold weather of the last winter was not more re-
markable than the UNREASONABLE weather of the
last few days. which has been SO destructive to our
fruit The warm weather early this month, when
the thermometer was some days over 70 deg, had
coaxed out the buds, leaves and blossoms, but was
followed by a sudden change on Friday, the 10th,
when high winds and successive snow-sqaajls came
down from the Northwest, and ended in real win
ter, so that on Saturday night, the 18th, my ther
mometer indicated IA above at II O'Clock, and
was said to be down to IL next morning.
There were three consecutive days of freezing
weather, and now, at noon on Monday, with the
thermometer at 65, but plenty of ice inches thick
we can begin to understand ourselves. Igive some
of the results on my home place, where for over 80
years have been collecting the choicest varieties
of fruit.
PEAcHEs-Nearly all destroyed during the past
winter, and now finished up.
CHERRIEs.-I have about 30 varieties in bearing
Some of the earliest were in bloom, all were putting
out leaves, and the twigs are killed, and even
turning black down into the old wood. OF course
the fruit is dead, and many branches, and even the
trees, may die ,also. -
ArrLEs-All early kinds killed As to later ones
there may be some hope.
PEARs-AIl seem to be killed.
GRAPEs-The Catawba, Isabella and Delaware
apparently unhurt. Concord mostly safe. Ives
Seeding, which is two weeks earlier, seems killed.
CUEEANTs-The cherry currant was in bloom and
seems pretty well cleaned out. Common red and
white not so bad.
. GoosEBERRIEs-Houghto Seeding damaged
but many left.
RAsPBERRIEs-Red Antwerp gone, but common
black and yelow-cap, some prospect.
SIBERIAN CRAB-Both red and yellow seem killed
APRICOTs, NECTARINEs AND PLUMs-Generally
killed, but as the curculio would take them any
how, it does not matter. The common damson is
late and hardy, and may be safe.
This is the way it looks to-day, but fruitgrowers
are apt to complain too soon, and it may not be as
bad as it seems Generally, failure in one section
is compensated by good crop elsewhere, but this
severe weather seems to have extended through all
the Middle States, so that probably the destruction
was never more universal and complete. OF course,
farther north, where the fruit-buds were less ad-
vanced, the loss will not be great The injury to
the trees may also be very serious, when the sap
has started, freezing bursts the vessels, and when
the twigs killed there may be few or no strong
buds to supply their place.

CONCERT BY THE BAND..--The Band
Boys are getting ready to give a
grand Concert at Music Hall, on
Thursday evening, May 9th. The
programme will include both vocal
and instrumental music. The boys
have been industrious and persever-
ing, and have made remarkable i'm
provement in their playing during
the past year. They have also been
very liberal in playing gratuitously
for charitable purposes-all of which
is greatly to their credit, and ought
not to be forgotten when they ask
for a benefit. Let them have a
crowded house.

Who was it that said the Demo-
cratic party was able and willing to
expose and punish its own rascals I?
In view of the late proceedingsin in the
Ohio Legislature, if any man dares
to utter such sentiment, shoot him
on the spot [Pomeroy Telegraph.
The West Virginia Journal says:
''The Kentucky and Great Fast
tern Railroad Company was reor-
ganized at Cincinnati on the 29th
ultimo, and contracts were awarded
to build the road from Cincinnati to
Huntington, West Virginia, the
present terminus of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad, distance of 165
miles. This will give the Chesapeake
and Ohio Western connection, and
will very much advance the interests
of the Kanawha Valley. We have,
beyond doubt, the richest Valley in
the world, and the present draw
back to its development is the want
of an outlet to the west. The i'm
provement of the KaDawha river and
the construction of this road will be
a national benefit, because it will un-
lock the untold treasures that now lie
buried in this great Valley"
We fear the Journal is premature
in its statements.
