Reading (P0nn.l Tmth
In q conversation on Saturday with
James MCGOWAN, Of Robson Township,
one OF the progressive farmers Of this
county, he stated that he never saw better
weather for the grain than that which has
been experienced during the present
month. March Is usually severe on the
grain fields, much damHge being done,
and the growth greatly retarded by high
winds and occasional freezing and thaw.
ing, Since the first OF the present month,
however, the weather has been cool and
msist, and very favorable for the winter
grain. The rains have been gentle, and
under their favorable influence the wheat,
to use his own expression, Ia improving
wonderfully. Some fields which had
been apparently winter.killed have come
out surprisingly during the past week,
and the indications for an excellent
crop OF wheat are very promising
The protection Of snow during the
winter, which served 90 q mplching
and preserved the wheat plahta from the
severity OF the weather, was Of inCaIcula-
bla benefit to our farmers. The wheat
fields generally throughout the country
are in fine condition. Grass fields have
also been much benefited by the weather
OF this month. In 0 few days the lace Of
the country will be greatly changed, and
the fresh, vernal appearance oil the fields
will be O sure indication that Spring has
come 10 stay. In the Hay Greek Valley
the farmers, Mr.. MCGOWAN states, have
nearly all finished sowing clover.seed, and
are now plowing their corn-lands. In the
vicinity OF Reading the approved time for
sowing clover seed Is during the first week
oil April. Some farmers, as q precautton
against failure, SOW quantity Of clover
seed In the Fall, and then 60 over the
same tract with similar quantity oil seed
in the Spring, .#.fl
Recent inquiries as to the condition Of
the growing wheat crop in this region,
confirm the hopeful appearances present.
cd in the above article, Some few fields
show the effect OF freezing and heavlog up
the ground q little, but as rule tho crop
looks well, and promises another abund.
ant harvest. Such are our reports from
this county, and from Washington and
Greene counties, on our Pennsylvania
border.

The Bourbons In the Senate were never
more mistaken In their lives than when
they undertook 10 put down Senator Ma
hone for his independent action. They
dumped" on him and then jumped of
again. A large Liberal element in Viz.
ginla heartily indorse his course, and the
Republicans are coming to his support al
most on masse. In an interview Senator
Malone had with the Philadelphia Press,

"What are the people oil Virginia saying
