Lancaster Ledger: Some villain, to
crafty malicious feeling, drove off
work OK belonging to David Dye, color
ed Democrat, one day last week, and cut
the throat of the OK, completely severing
the windpipe. There is very little doubt

rather dry for spring oatsn,...T There has
been sold at Westminster, Walhslla and
Seneca about 1,100 tons of guano this
season, indicating that $4,000 acres have
been put in cotton. If it yields 200

able frost in this county on the morning
of the Sd instant, doing some damage to
cotton and garden vegetables. Mr.. T.

York Enquirer: There is no doubt
but nearly, if not all the fruit in this
section was killed by the frosts. There
was heavy frost last Friday morning,
which cut the growing corn down to the
ground. Cotton is beginning to come
up, and excepting in few localities, es-
capped the frost. We have heard of some
early planted cotton that was up suffi-
ciently to be injured. Generally, the
cotton crop in the county is promising.
Wheat is also promising at this time,
having been but slighrly injured by the
frost.
