Spring crops all in the ground. The
season has been unusually favorable,
with large breadth of oats sown. The
usual amount Of corn planted. The
potatoe crop planted, above the aver
age. The prospects for wheat were
never better; grass backward, with
prospects of light hay crop. Apples
about one-third of . crop, peaches.
cherries and pears. full crop. Such
is the present prospect.
The excitement caused by the as
sault of n. G. Sears, upon the person
of Huron Morse, and which has occu-
pied the attention of the Courts of late,
came up TOR action in the Disciple
Church, OF which both parties were
formerly members. Huron Morsc's
name was stricken from the record
some months ago. AT the same time
NC. Sears requested his name to be
stricken from the church record. The
church failed to comply with the re-
llC HAS loi WIN
the church since, and, as have been
informed, did not consider himself a
member of the church. A motion
made to-day in church meeting to
strike his name from the church record
was laid upon the table. Upon the
result being announced, w. IL. Bcttes,
Overseer, withdrew his connection
with the church. The question which
now puzzles the church is, whether N.
