DAYS Of the week just closing were welcome
change in the calendar Of spring weather, and
brought promise of bctter things in store for
usn as the days lengthcn into summer. All
vegetation seems warmed into lifc by the penc-
tratiug rays OF old Sol, and Is clothed in a
fresher, grecner tint In consequence OF the
warm rains and warmer sunshine These b2lny
DAYS have had a beneficial effect upon tle roads

the surplus mud, aud making them passable

ons laden with last years cereals, wisely con-
cludee that his native heath is a Chicago in em-
bryo, only nceding time and favorable surround
ings to develop it into one OF the worlds
