Wheat is being threshed in
whoop; the yield has probably
never been surpassed in this
section. Growing crops are
looking very fine, the recent
rains having revived them
greatly.
Business at present is not so
brisk as TO monopolise the at
ton of every one; consequent
ly, a group may be seen occa-
sionly man@uvering in the di-
rcction of the croquet grounds,
where lively games are played.
The playing of this game is a
pleasant recreation, and innocent
amusement, and might be more
generally introduced. The old
and the young may enjoy it and
the most fastidious cannot OBJ
iect to it morally. Yesterday
afternoon Rev. Allison Of Win
chester delivered a lecture on
the subject Of temperance, and
organized a council; also organ
lied a council at Shiloh, near
