NEARLY all Of our farmers are done
planting corn, and many fields are up few
inches high. The cut worm, usually 90
destructive to corn, has caused but little

ground.

SEVERAL Of our Kentucky traders re-
port that fine horses sell for better price
In this State, than can be obtained for them
in the Northern market. II this is true,
why do our traders gather a lot Of fancy
animals and ship to, and sell them in q
Northern or Eastern market?
MnssRs. HAYS AND CowAN left here via
Railroad, last Monday morning, with 16
head Of fancy harness horses for the Phil
adelphia market. They we're bays, sorrels,
blacks and greys, and il was the handsom-
est bunch Of horses which has left our mar
kst in long time. They were mcsLy in
pairs, and matched we'll.
AROUND Richmond, Va, there was q
killing frost on the 10th Of April, and ice
formed a quarter Of an inch thick. II is
thought that the clover, and perhaps much
Of the fruit were killed. Last year, about
the same time, destructive frost occurred
in Kentucky, which killed yearly all the
fruit.
IT is q fact that less than FIVE years
ago . large boundary Of wooded land,
heavily timbered with variety Of trees,
and less than three miles from Stanford, on

s. TO S. so per acre. A single acre Of
the wood was worth four or Eve times
that sum.
A VERY la.ge and enthusiastic crowd
were present ct the Lexington races on

minutes. Keene Richards Bullion, won

IL there is on earth fairer spot than the
Blue-Grasa region Of Kentucky, we would
like to see il. those who have never look
ed out upon these velyety green pastures
and the broad woodlands covered with
stately trees, centuries old, beneath which
is living and perpetual verdure, and not
a brush, or weed, or briar 10 mar the beau
