 There was quite good sized frost here, on the morning of the 24th inst, but we hear of no serious damage and the apple prophet, after due inspection and proper deliberation, ayers that there will be a good crop of this fruit, next fall. In fact, to put the whole thing in nut shell, we'will say, there always has been seed time and abundant harvest, | the seed time has passed, and the completion of the last half of the cycle is ''consumma- ton devoutly to be wished"
 One night last week Adonis from Marble dale, and Apollo from over towards Washing ton, harnessed their fiery steeds to their daz- zling chariots, and came prancing into our quiet and serene village.

 Now the "horny handed'' farmer,
 Mad as he can be-
 ''Sleeps no more," but with his gun,
 Whilst the clock is striking three,
 Forth into the early morning

 "Pull my corn, you pesky rascals!

 Dropped their corn and flew away,
 And the farmer was the maddest
 Man you ever saw.
