Ed. TsL-The weather guage of the re-
cent past is getting rather out OF fashion, |
Within one short week the weather has
so changed as to take the buckram nearly
all out of us. Bright skies, southern
breezes, copious and warm showers COM
bine to make their influence felt upon the
face of nature, and the beautiful landscape
of living green, and the buds and bios
SONS bursting into life and gorgeous rich
ness, has fascinating effect upon man
and the subordite animal creation. The
season of seed time, with all its deman nds
for labor and persistent industry, is upon
US, and he who heeds not its admonitions
shall not glory in the fullness of its prom
ise of rewards.
The usual prospects ofpotato bug raids
are looked for with good degree Of con-
fdence. From what we hear, all that is
necessary to do 10 insure qaantHna sHb'-

proved the one about as much as the 9TH

Ere this, the onion seed has been sown
upon the many fields around us. The
weeds are watchful for an early start
and dispute for the mastery of the situ-
alton. In this branch of husbandry, es-
pecially, vigilance and prompt industry,
is needfnl.
Oats, in many cases, are in, but some
require the aid of the plow in the work
ofpreparation.
Our village gardens are receiving at
tention, and the usual badgering about
the growth of peas begins TO be heard
productive of the usual amount of pleas
antry.
The result of the meeting at the house
ofD. c. Uaughey to arrange telegraph
matters, was to close a contract with that
gentleman for procuring new poles from
his west line to the west line of the estate
of c. s.. Harmon, deceased. The poles are
to be forty feet long, so as TO carry tie
wires above the trees. The slashings OF
the past will make their increasing alti-
tude a work of time, so that their contact
is somewhat in the future. II
While Mr.. F. s. Noyes supplies our cit
izens with the lapteal ingredients for the
proper tempering Of their morning and
evening beverages, Mr.. Geo. Richmond
is out for the season with his meat wag'
on. Mr.. R. has in the past supplied us
with our groceries, on terms SO satisfacto
nv thatit is meet to give him chance o
catering for our meat eating propensities
prices and qualities commencing them
selves, as heretofore.
Mr.. Skinner hsYing rented his farm
some mile east of the village, has moYe'
in among US, and taken the stand of A
NJ. Barton, where he has opened up
market, and will supply his customer
both from the shambles and wagor
Thus, with regular visits of wagons from
the Rolling Mill city, there is no goo
! ground for apprehension that our suppl
will not be equal to the demand.
Mr.. A. B. Luce has recently filed u
