II Il few lines from this section will re-
ceivc your favorable considerations we will
give You the following items:
MISCELLANEOUS.
The destructive potato bug is here, doubt
less bent on avigorous campaign. The time
for the singing of birds is come. The trees
are putting forth their buds. The farmers,
noting these facts. are busy preparing their
land and planting corn. The wheat is rather
backward, but the late rains have improved
its appearance. With a favorable season. Il
fair crop may be anticipated.
SERIOUSLY ILL.
The wife of John Malloney, Jr., has been
quite i'll for so:ie time. We hope she will
soon recover her IL ;ual health, and the Young
is an industrious Young man, and Is en-
gagged in farming on his own account. May
success crown his effort.
WHAT HE SANS.
George Lee (colorc,l) says some delicious
person throws down the top rails of his fence
Ii they don't stop it, he will issue a fcrg .fsh
igno,,,nnnS. and plunge them into the State
amS-houSe or county penitcntiary. George
is learned negro and fluent talker.
PETTY LAECENIES.
Some remorSelcSs sinner VISITED the hen
rooSt of Mr.. John Miller and carried off sev-
eral of his fowls. John is a quiet young
man and Il good mechanic. We also learn
that the same or Il like party visited the
feed chest of John Biddle and helped them
selves to its contents. Mr.. Is. is 4 clever
fellow and good neighbor.
MAY DAY Picnic
The children of Warhurlon's school had
4 little May dag picnic ut the picturesque
and romantic spot known as Buffers Rock,
Il half mile south of Warburton'S bridge,
on the east bank Of Little North East creek,
said creek forming the boundary line be-
tween Seggars' Row and Stony Chase. The
children had 4 pleasant time in company
with their teacher, Miss MOllie Johns
Miss Mollic is Il fine girl, good scholar, and
an excellent teacher, and will live, in con-
ing years, in tn" memory of her pupils
when scattered far and wide, battling with
the stern realities and checkered scenes of
busy life Upon her may Providence ever
smile. and he Il lamp t" her feet and a light
to her pathway.
y BOLD ROBBERY.
We are creditahly informed that. on the
evening of April 18th, some party entered
the house of William A. Miller and escaped
with Sis in bank notes, and, strange to say,
left n quantity of silver untouched. Let
their political profession he what it may,
they airs evidently graanbackerS. The loss
falls heavily oh Mr.. NJ. who is an industri-
Gus mechanic and farmer of moderate means
Mr. and Mrs NJ. followed the precedent of
an ancient king, of whom We have some
record in the 18th chapter OF the first book
of Samuel. This divinrr of mysteries as
stIrrd them they would eventually recover
a portion of the money, and described mill
utely certain parties whom Mr.. NJ. refuses
to suspect on account of their integrity and
high moral standing. Mr.. Miller is Il Sensi-
Bile man-an unbelicyrr III hobgoblin> and
such things. The loss of the money, like
the burning of W W, Moorr'S house is
profound mystery to ui.
Unlike Madam kumor, whose peculiar
instinct learns the secrets of all things.
when these things occur in sight of the sa-
ask, Is the world growing better: Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Davis, the new pastor, has
work before him of which it appears he Is
not entirely ignorant, as AT the close of his
second sermon at that place he gave IN invi-
tation to come to the altar, and evincel his
to commence revival then and
there. We would have been pleased TO see
:, number of lukewarm brethren and 9TH
erS 90 forward and renew their vows, and
then by their upright walk and chaste con-
convince the ungodly of righteous
ness, temperance and Il judgment to come
Mr.. Davis is an earnest champion of the
cross, and decidedly on the war-rath with
sin. ANTIOCH
