Wheat on new ground is looking quite fair
but some of 1t has suffered from the late hard
frosts. Farmers commence corn planting
this week. The cut-worms have the start,
however, and are already committing depreda-
tons on the early gardens.
Plxley and Grannis, the renowned yocallsts,
visit this place again, and will sing on Thurs
day evening at the Congregationalist st church.
One-half the proceeds are for the benefit OF
its Sunday school. This church has at Last
secured the services OF a minister He is ex-
pected to I'LL the pulpit next Sunday.
He was Strong and she was Young, and the
far-seeing Esq. Bathrick did the business
{ No cards.) The Stronger was once younger
and the Younger is now Strong. Youth and
strength ought to win, even IN these hard
times. The Mattawan poet was suffering
from an acute attack OF softening OF the brain,
and was unable to attend.
1t may be consolng to the one who shot at
O'Brien to reflect that he is q murderer
The postofice, under the new administration,
is undergoing a thorough purifying. Soap
and sand are doing wonders. Let the good
work go on.

weeks with typhoid.
The house Of Mr. Horace Hrdson was de-
stroyed by fire ON the 11th inst The fire
caught around the stove-pipe, aud was dis
covered just as the family were sitting down
TO dinner. So much time was used IN trying to
put out the fire that they were unable to save
much of their goods We are told there was
no insurance.
The past cold weather end late frosts have
kept the farmers back with their planting.
But very few planted early this sprlng-the

A Word FOR RoArPING GmLs.-Most women
! have dread of them. Mothers would rather
that their little daughters were called anything
else than romps. They say to them, " Be very
quiet now, my dears; don't run or jump. and
be little ladies'" As if a healthy child could be
still; as If IT could take time to walk or sten
over what came in its way; as il IT could fold
its hands in its lap, when its little heart ia
brimful OF tickle. 1t is absurd and wrong be-
cause il is unnatural Children, girls as well
as boys, need exercise; indeed they must have
1t, TO be kept in healthy condition. They
need to expand their chests strengthen their
muscles, tone their nerves, develop themselves
generally. And this exercise must be out OF
doors, too Itis not enough to have caIisthen-
ics in the nursery or parIor; they need TO lie
out in the sunshine, out in the wind, out in the
grass, out in the woods, out of doors some
where, il 1t be no bigger than the common or
park. Suppose they do tan their ipretty faces
better be brown as berry, aud have the pulse
quick and strong, than white as lily and COM
PLAN OF cold feet and headache. Suppose they
do tear their clothes, suppose they do wear out
their shoes, it don't try a mothers patience

not drain fathers pocket-book half as quick
to buy shoes as 1t does to pay Doctors blll-
Indeed, we don't believe theIe Is a prettier
picture in the world than that Of little girl
balancing herself on the topmost rail OF an old
zigzag fence, her bonnet on one arm and a
basket of black berries on the other, her curs
streaming out in the wind, or ripping over her
cheeks, her apron half torn from her waist, and
dangling at her feet, her fingers stained with
the berries she had picked and her lips with
those s.e had eaten Mother, don't scold that
little creature when she comes in and puts her
basket on the table, and looks rueiully at the
rent IN the new gingham apron, and at the little
bare toes sticking out of the last pair OF shoes.
Wash of the hot face and soiled hands, and
give her bowl of bread and milk and when
she has eaten her ill and got rested, make her
sit down by you and tell what she has seen off in
the meadows and woods. Her heart will be full
OF beautiful things-the sound Of the wind. the
fall OF the leaves, the music OK the birds, the
laugh Of wild flowers, the ripping of streams,
the shade OF the clouds and the hue OF the sun
beams-all those will have woven their spell
over her innocent heart, and made her poet
in feeling, il not in expression. No, mothers,
don't nurse up your little girls like house
plants. The daughters Of this generation are
to be the mothers of the next, aud il you
would have them healthy in body and gentle
in temper, free from nervous affections, fdgets
and blues If you would fit them for lfe-its joys,
its cares and trials-let them have good romp
every day while they are growing. 1t is natures
own specific, and, il taken in season, is war
ranted to cure all ails of the grls and woman.

For THE RECORD.
A steamboat is building at Brissol, r. l.,
for j. d. & II. Brodhead, which will make
the attempt to run during the coming season
on the Delaware, between the Water Gap and
Port Jervis. The steamer will reach Phila-
delphia in about two weeks, and proceed up
the river. She is a curious craft being fiat
bott0med, sharp at both ends, sixty feet long
by six inches wide in the centre, and draws
eleven inches of water. She is a side heller,
warranted to make fourteen miles an hour.
Mr.. EDITOR THE above was taken from
the Beacon of last week, and as there is no
credit to any other paper, the presumption Is
that this item of news belongs to it. But it
scrbed is to be sixty feet long, fiat bottomed,
sharp at both ends and win draw eleven
inches of water /; these dimensions are all
we'll enough. But how about the sir inches
in breadth? She is rather narrow for the
comfort of her passengers. They will have
to be provided with saddles and travel with
their feet hanging down in the water, like
horseback riders. But perhaps as the boat is
TO be used as a summer excursion craft, IL is
all right. AS this is steamboat, where is
the machinery to be placed? Six inches is
rather a narrow space 10 which to place an
engine of sufficient power to drive a boat of
the above mentioned size, fourteen miles an
hour, against the swift current of the upper
Delaware The sight of this boat with full
load of passengers strung along on saddles,
except over the :" side-wheels," on her way to
Port Jervis, or in fact any other place, would
be very entertaining one, and would be
nearly as attractive as an exhibition of IL
M. y. Pinafore." But perhaps there is a
mistake in some part Of the article, or there
is meaning in it that does not become clear
to ordinary readers. There is something
wrong somewhere. W 90.

COURT PRocEEDINGs.---T trial Of indict-

on Wednesday last.
The State v. Jacob Snyder.--This was ar
indictment for an Atrocious Assault by the
defendant upon his daughter Ella. On the

not living with bis family, went to their house
in Milford, and finding the doors locked, pried
one opei with a bar. The family ran out
Soon after, the defendant's son Charles, went
to the stable to get horse. The defendant
commanded him to let the horse Alone some
words passed, and the defendant collared his
son and struck him. From this point the.tes-
timony varied somewhat. The story, as told
by the son, and the other men bers of the
family was, that while the father and son
were engaged in the scuffle, they ran against
Ella, when the boy jerked loose and the de-
PENDANT struck Ella twice, then struck his
wife and knocked her down, and then ran

ward. While in this position Charles shot
the defendant with pistol loaded with shot,
totally binding one eye. The defendants
statement was, that while he was correcting
Charles, his wife and Ella came to the boys
assistance, and struck him and pulled his
hair. Charles succeeded in breaking away
from him, pulled pistol out of his pocket,
his wife said 'sShoot him. and he shot.
Then, and not till then, he struck his wife
and daughter, hitting out right and left at
any object he, in his blinded fury, could
reach.
The jury failed to agree and were discharg.

The State v. Jacob Snyder.-This was an
indictment against the defendant for an as
sault upon his wife at the time of the alleged
assault upon the daughter, and consisted in
the blows inflicted upon the wife at that time.
The testimony was the same as in the former
trial. The jury in this case was also unable
to agree, and were discharged on Saturday
evening.
