Since our last communication, there
has been two weddings in our vicinity
MIR. Samuel Powers t0 Miss Martha Walls.
and Mr.. james Finney to Miss Laura
Starnes.
On the night of the 18th Of last month,
some miscreants broke iorty-ilve phnes Of
glass and four window-slsll out Of Union
Hill Westinghouse; and on the same
night several chickens were stolen from
Mr.. VIM. Butler. The accused parties
were arrested and tried before the mnSis-
trates of our District, but the proof was
not sufficient to convict them, ann they
were released. 1t Is hoped that the guilty
parties will yet be found out, for this Is
the second or third time the glass has
been broken out of this anne building.
Our farmers are blowing their ground,
preparing iorcorn.
The wheat crop cannot be praised yet,
for IL does not look very well just now,
