books, or subscriptions for book purposes
that the friends of Sunday schools may think
proper to offer.
Our farmers generally are far ahead Of the
work usually done at this season. Most have
plowed their corn ground and some have
seeded their oats. Owing to the open winter
larger seeding of both corn and oats will be
put into the ground. The wheat looks re-
markably well, and if that pest, the fly, will
only attend to its own business and leave har-
vesting 10 the farmer, large yield may be
anticipated.
We have had beautiful weather, yet Sunday
and the two following days were very wintry.
Many fear the destruction of the peach, and
some go so far as to prognosticate the same
fate for the apple. You are aware that ans
thing that will give the farmer an opportunity
to grumble is looked upon as God-send.

manned in the position in which he was found.

which, together with the usual spring work,
cause our people to be very busy at this time
Many have already sown oats and planted po-

that all the fruit has been destroyed by the

have escaped.
