About six thousand peach trees
We're killed by the freeze at the Kama
wha Nursery.
1t is thought by many persons that
there viii not be two bushels of APP
pies raised in Kanawha this year.
The wheat in the country around
Charleston looks as yellow as saffron.
The early crop was totally destroyed
by the freeze.
We have great respect for the gem
tlemen who compose the County
Court, but the system we have no
hesitancy in pronouncing a fungus.
Young shad are being caught in
the Kanawha river. They are sup
posed to be the progeny of the two
million that were placed in the New
River, about two years ago, from the
Alexandria hatchery.
The Governor states in letters sent
to each of the State officers that on
the Dist day of May, the Capital will
leave Charleston for Wheeling, and
directs them to pack the books and
papers of their respective offices and
get ready for the march.

THE WHEAT CROP.

The April report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture states that the
area in Winter wheat appears to have
been increased last fall about per
cent. A small portion of this area,
partially destroyed by the severity
of the winter, will be replaced by
other crops. The condition of the
crop, as far as can be judged by it's
appearance in April in the more Nor
thern ATTITUDES, before the ground is
bare and free from frost, is below an
average, and far below the status of
last Spring. In the South, generally,
the prospects are quite flattering and
the crop secure against all probable
contingencies, except rust. In the
West the general conditions of the
wheat crop is below the average.

chronicle of their latest baseball

Every one should plant shade trees.
These simple ornaments of nature
lend greatly to the attractions of a
city and furnish a luxury during the
summer months that is highly appre-
ciated. Property owners should not
fail to plant them in front of their
residences, for it adds to the value of
their property and to the comfort of
themselves and the public. When the
hot summer month come and the sun
glares down on the bare, dusty high
ways and pavements, there is nothing
SO inviting to the weary pedestrian as
the friendly shade of the maple OF
linden.

We learned on Saturday that, by
persistent effort, our representatives
in the Legislature, headed by the
member from Martinsburg, succeed
ed in having bill passed permitting
the Board of Education of this town
to issue bonds for building purposes,
payable in twenty years instead of
five This is good news, and we are
glad to correct our statement of a
few days ago. 1t is much easier and
more proper to erect public improve

oyerburden citizens with taxes for q

The Rush to Kansas and Colorado

W. st0Su " INFUSED 0UU NOtOCooV
The indications are that the rush to Kan
sas and Colorado will be greater than ever
in 1874. The shortest way to reach tie far
West is through st. Louis, the great Mlssis-
slppi Valley City, Of over 100000 inhabi-
tants, and thence west over the st. Louis
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, which
reaches all the great land grants in the
Vest, and runs six fast express trains, two
more than any other road, between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers. This road, in
the last two years, has expended over two
million dollars, besides earnings in extraor-
binary improvements of roadway, in relay
ing its line with the best quality of new
steel and iron rails, on broad new ties, and
in passenger equipment, having substituted
for ordinary cars new reclining chair coach
es with every appliance for comfort and
safety, being elegantly fitted with dressing
rooms, with toilet cOnvenienccs for ladies
and gentlemen and families travelling with
children, free of any extra charge. Any
ticket agent selling through tickets to the
West will furnish tickets by this excellent
route through st. Louis over the st. Louis,
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, the
best and shortest to Kansas Colorado, Ne
braska, California, and the Great West-it
being the only line running through cars
between st. Louis and Omaha. For map
and circulars and timetables, address either
f. A. Palmer, indianapolis, Ind, or P. B.
GrOat, St. Louis, either of whom will furnish
any information desired.
