Not Pleasing Osfiook.-Whilst our section Of
the county 10 noted for lie fne scenery and pro.
ductiveness. yet Its present appearance is any.
thing but attractive and prosperous. The month
Of April generally finds our grain and grass fields
looking pronisingiy green aud encouraging. but
such Is not the case with the first week Of the
present month, the grain folds presenting rather
y drcary appearance. The weather has been very
windy aud cold, the earth being frozen so hard a,
simes Go stop plowing. II IL said that in April

vicinity, cut ice sufficient 20 Gil his cehouse II
has been cold with TO send the mercury
10 degrees below the freezing point. We have n
sufficient supply Of ice and don't care TO store any
more Mt present, but We do want to plant our
vegetable seeds. &c. The sowing Of oats has also
been greatly delayed, and n smaller acreage will
be put in because the crop 10 unremunerative and
the ground generally sown in oats having been
put In Fall grain. Considerab attention u given
10 the land about 10 beused for corn, much manure
being plowed under for that crop.
MoriRy.-The changing OF residence. in one 70.
spect at least. Is anything but desirable because
of the necessity Of turning things upside down,
damaging furniture and the many discomforts in
cident 60 moving. In our immediate vicinity this
Spring eleven families have had or will have this
unpleasant work TO do.
Church Serrice..-Sunday last being q bright
day the several churches were well attended. Al

meetings are generally held the hrst Sunday even
Ing In each month, the pastor making few com.
arts or remarks. The services arc gsnsraiiy
wet attended. Tho hymns sung are from the
Moody and sankey collection.
Sieknes.-It seems the services Of the physi.
elan are always necessary, notwithstanding the
fact that we would prefer not having him-and

furms and hence the Dr.,s skill 10 sought. Our
vicinity 10 not exempt from physical disorders,
