1t appeared as il spring had set in
more than week agO-the mercury
rose to nearly S0o in the shade-the
pee-wee gave Us few notes.-the doves
struck up their plaintive cooing-the
farmers got out their plows, the gard
eners looked up their little 'ingins, and
began to make out list of ar len seeds
that he would need; but alas! how un-
certain are human calculations! On
last Friday the polar wave gave
US a chill, and this morn ng.. Mon
day. we have Inches of snow, and
strong indications of another spell OF
l+leighing. During the warm spell ,
the wheat fields put on their dress OF
living green," and generally looked
better than we anticipated, in fact
some fields looked very promising.
The incident you recorded last week
of the two ladies falling from horse,
reminds me of sad incident that Oc-
CURED in our vicinity ten years ago
last September. Miss Mary Taylor,
daughter of Robt. Taylor, of Wheeling,
was visiting in this vicinity. During
her visit she attended political meet
ing at Pleasant Grove, which was ad-
dressed by o. j. Swaney and ]. B.
Campbell. After the meeting she got
ON horse behind another young lady,
and in going down a steep embank-
ment, they lost their balance, and boi b
fell To the right side of the horse. Miss
Taylor received An injury in the spine.
and in few days after she was taken
home on bed, and has not walked a
step since that night. She has spent
the lung years in bed. With her head
and shoulders slightly elevated, she
has passed the time in piecing quilts
and working at fancy needle-work.
We regret to chronicle the mental
affection of Mrs. d. Robson. Care and
anxiety about her sick children is the
Cause.
We also regret to mention the con-
tinued mental arrangement of single
lady of this township. Some months
ago she formed matrimonial engage
ment with man in in township west
of here. Matters moved On all right
until a few week5-Ago he called to see
her, when she informed him that she
had learned that he was looking for
another one to share his affections. He
ASSURE her that the report was false
that his religious principles would
forbid him to play the dtceiver, but in
few days aiterward he was married
to the other laiy. This case has caused
much comment, AS both parties were
of the highest respectabllity. The
pathies of the public sre deeply en-
listed in favor of the afflicted lady.
We give incidents in this case as they
have been reported to Us, Withholding
names, as the case will have legal
hearing. The lady referred to has been
Iadjudged insane, and application has
been made for her admission in the
Asylum.
