TnE farmers, in this justly termed SCAR

A great deal Of blowing is being lone, and
the whole country Is perfumed with the de-
lightful odor to the Granger nose, the smell

quantity Of Hemp is now being taken to

daily seen along the turnpikes.
LEGISLATURE.
A general feeling Of dissatisf ,ctiun with
the labors Of our "onc horse" Legislature.
IL expressed by all Of our citizens, who
think thai they have FILTERED away the
time Of their Constitutional session, and
have done nothing upon which they can
look back with pride. To have body of

ACCIDENT.

Church in their carriage, il came uncouplcd.
throwing the ladies on their faces, severely,
though not seriously wounding them. Al
ter the accident, the horses became fright
ened, and dashed of at fearful speed, with
the front wheels attached to them. A gen.
eral cominotion was created at Church,
when they passed, and nearly the whole
went to look for the unfor,u-
mates. Miss Jennie was found TO be cut
about the forehead and nose, which may
disfgure her beauty some, but she will SUI

quite badly cut, but is said to be improving.

THE PEOPLE.
With some exceptions, Of course, the
people here are fully worthy Of their rich
