RambIes Through the County.
Editor Register; A portion of May,
Ithe month Of beautiful flowers, has
been pleasantly spent by the writer
ofthis relttending social gatherings
and following the meanderings Of
Crab, Middlefork and sandfork creeks,
in Clendenin District, and taking
from the bosom of their placid waters
quite number Of the tinny tribe
lalsoattended the closing exercises of
a subscription school, taught by Mr..
James Arlington, in Fairview School
House, in sub. Dist. No. 8, on Friday
evening, May 23d. The exercises
were pleasant, and reflected great
credit upon teacher and scholars
There was u good attendance of the
school, which was proof that all felt
an interest in the progress of the
scholars and the success of the teacher.
Quite a number of the fair sex WHO

infinite mercy has placed in the gard

werepresent, andapprovingly smiled
upon the efforts of the scholars and
their teacher and listened attentive
ly to the remarks of an ex-teacher,
whose trembling limbs, silvered hair
and wrinkled brow, betokened the
inside of time upon him, and who,
like Peter Pinder of old, told stories
for the edifcation of the children and
all present.
CROP PROSPECT.
For some time past, owing to very
dry weather, the crop prospect was
not very fattering in this, as wellas
other localities, and there has been
much unnecessary murmuring
against Him who sends rain upon the
|justandunjust. How much happier
would-all feel ifthe following senti-
ment was deeply implanted in the.
breast Of mankind:
wait, o my soul, thy Makers will;
Tremulous passions, all be still;
Nor let q murmuring thought arise;
His ways are just, His counsels wise.
III heaven and earth, in air and seas,
He executes His wise DEGREES;
And by His saints it stands confessed,
That what He does is ever best"
Owing to poor seed corn many
farmers have been obliged 10 do a
great deal of replanting, and in q
great many instances, large fields
have had to be plowed up and plant
ed over again. The rain on Sunday,
May 25th, was very refreshing and
since then all Nature appears TO re.
joice and seems to feel its influence.
The prospect for fruit is not as
hattering as many supposed and the
supply Will be nothing like that of
last year.
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
In my rambles, have been re-
peatedly asked ifMr. Chas. E. Hogg,
the efficient School Superintendent
who has so acceptably and success
fully filled the position, would not
again have the same mantle thrown
around him, and when informed that
he was not a candidate for the posi-
ton there was q universal express
sion of regret, all INDUCING in the
belief, that us he has proven himself
q faithful public servant, he would
be a suitable person to occupya posi-
ton in the Legislative halls Of the
country, where his voice could be
heard in the cause of truth, honor
aud justice and where hc could sac
.redly watch the rights and. priyil.
